On the division, Mr. Parnell's amendment was rejected by a

majority of 106 (352 to 246). The total vote was thus 598, which with the Speaker and the four tellers, make up a House of 603. There were, besides, nine pairs, which bring up the number to 62L Of Conservatives (not counting the tellers), there were 284; of Liberal Unionists, 68. The minority was composed of Parnellites and Gladstonian Liberals. Several moderate Home-rulers, of whom Mr. Parker (M.P. for Perth) was the most conspicuous, refused to vote for an amendment which appeared to countenance the "Plan of Campaign."
