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 n Fruit, Dried or.Evaporate:l, pad ad in a.oxes ina dainty manner, or loose, are athong, the huuselho ecessi- ties w ich are to be hadre, i' es lees tp s,ay, the quality and tor$ii•tio,n is pealed,.

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 an amendment to a financial clause introduced by Sir, Freder- 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.
