British Cabinet on Home
Rule Clause by »a Snap Division
VOTE AGAINST CABINET 228 TO 206 IN COMMITTEE ON SECTION TO
GIVE CONTROL OF CUSTOMS TO IRISH PARLIAMENT.
London, Nov. 11 - The
Cabinet was defeated today by
a vote of 228 against 206 in
the committee on the home
rule bill.
A motion by Premier As-
quith for consideration of the
bi:1 was adjourned.
There has been consider-
able opposition by members
on the Ministerial side of the
House of Commons to the fin-
ancial provisions of the home
rule bill. Some seventy Lib-
eral members have given
voice to their objection to the
Irish Parliament being given
control of the customs, as
they argue that _ such control
would enable the Irish Parlia-
ment to introduce protection.
The followers of William
O'Brien onlythis morning
an-
nounced their intention of
MR. ASQUITH
Primo Mlnistor of Great lrltaln
withdrawing from the House during the proceedings of the
committee on the finance clauses of the bill.
The Government is considering its position in view of the
adverse vote in committee. The cabinet does not necessarily
have to resign, and is unlikely to do so in face of the inter-
, n \tional crisis.
The defeat was sustained 011 an amendment proposed by
'the Unionists to a financial clause.of the home rule bill while
it was under discussion in committee of the House.
THREE ALTERNATIVES.
• The Government is now faced with three alternatives.
' The cabinet can resign, it can drop the home rule bill, or it
can bring forward a motion to recommit the bill and obtain
E th'e opinion of the full House on the vote which was taken to-
t day after it has given due notice of its intention to do so.
The general opinion is that the Government .will move
• for the recommital of the bill; and will not resign in view of

the fact that the division was unexpected.a:nd occurred on
Monday, when many of the supporters of. the Government
had not returned from their week -end vacations.
Herbert Samuel, the Postmaster -General, in opposing
Sir Frederick Banbury's amendment to the home rule bill,
said it would mean that the total sum payable to Ireland
would be limited to $12,500,000 a year. The revenve from
Irish
taxation would be $47,000,000, estimated on the present
basis of Irish revenue, and the amendment would mean that
the sum handed ; back to -Ireland would be $12,500,000 for
services which cost $30,000,000 a year.
UNIONISTS CHEER
When the result of the vote was announced, the Union-
i(sts present cheered wildly.
Premier Asquith, when he came in, quietly announced
'that the sitting would be adjourned.
Snap divisions during the meetings of committees of the
House of Commons are not unusual, although tbis is the first
experience of the kind of the present Government. Arthur J.
Balfour, when he was Premier, suffered in this way several
t=imes during his last ,Parliament.,
GRAND OVATION FOR ASQUITH
London, Nov. 12—A motion of rescind the decision of
the House of Commons ' committee on the :borne rule bill,
which brought about the defeat of the cabinet yesterday on

ick Banbury, a Unionist, is -to be brought up for debate by
Premier Asquith in the full House tomorrow. ,-
The House of Commons was crowded bo -day, and the
leaders of the various parties, were given noisyreceptions,
The Liberals, the Labor members, and the'Nationalists rose
in a body to welcome the Premier when he gave notice to his
motion. The House then; proceeded with other business.
