FOREIGN.
Gladstone at Leeds.
LONDON, October 7th.-Gladstone received
great ovation at Leeds to-day. Eighty-six
addresses were presented to him. he re.
piled briefly, acknowledging the value OF
party criticism.
In his speech, referring to the unity of the
Liberal party, Mr.. Gladstone said he saw no
sign Of such division as led to its defeat in
1874 Everywhere there where signs of
union, and he looked forward with satisfac-
ton. There was much to be done, he said, in
altering and modifying the land laws of Eu.
gland and Scotland, but circumstances in these
parts are not those of ireland. He urged
that the depression in trade proceeded from
the decreased purchasing power. He calcu-
lated that between 1873 and 1880 the country
had lost ga. 600, 600 on her export trade, but
as much as 100000, 600 from her bad har-
vests. Referring to the Fair Trade League,
he said some persons complained about the
American tariff America sent us e3, 000, 900
worth of manufactures, while we sent Amer
lea from $50, 100000 to $40, 100000 worth.
The fair traders want America to cease to be
our customer to this amount. Gladstone
spoke for an hour and forty minutes,
At banquet given Gladstone there were
/, 400 persons present. Gladstone said: Justice
to Ireland is a sacred duty, but it can never
be performed without equal justice to Eng.
land and Scotland. The state OF Ireland
might not be party question. Ireland is in a
crisis, and on the working of the Land Act
may depend the greatest issues with regard
to her prosperity. There are powerful
fate in spite of persons. | do not believe
there are laborers in any country that have
made more progress than the Irish laboreIs. %
Gladstone warmly eulogized Sir Charles
Gavin Duffy for his pamphlet advocating
the grateful acceptance of the Land Act.
Gladstone claimed Dillon as an oppo-
nent, but an opponent whom he was
glad to honor, and added: "I now have
the painful duty of dealing with different
class of opponents. A small body of men
has arisen who are not ashamed to preach TO
Ireland the doctrine of public plumber The
state of things in Ireland is coming to ques-
ton of law on the one hand and their law
lessness on the other" Gladstone favor
ably contrasted O'Connell's fidelity to the
Crown of England with Parnell's hostility to
everything English. O'Connell, he said, on
every occasion declared his respect for prop
erty; but Parnell has now new
gospel, that of plumber to proclaim. He
sees now that whereas the rental OF
Ireland is SIT ,000, 600 the landlord is entitled
to nothing but the original valuation of the
land, amounting to e3.000,000. O'Connelrs
| respect for human life was consistent. Par
nell is very copious in his references to Amer.
lea, but in all these references he has never
found time to utter word of disapproval
about the assassination literature of that
country which is not American literature,
The Americans scorn, spurn and loathe it.
Loud cheers. Parnell, during the last ses.
sion of Parliament, made every effort to des.
troy the land bill. but he did not dare to
vote against it like man. But when the
life of the bill was at stake, Parnell and
thirty of his followers withdrew from the
House of Commons, and tried to destroy the
work which the Government had begun.
Affairs in Peru The Feather Which
Broke the Cancels Esack.
NEW York, October 7th.--The Panama
Star and Herald of September 2S5h says A
Lima special says: The Chilean leaders have
probably another campaign in the Tempo OF
San Diego. The State Of Ariquipa will be
attacked, and General Baque will command
the expedition. Many Peruvians are leaving
Lima to join the, Monterreos. They go because
they cannot work, even if such were obtain
able. The order recently issued by Pierola to
raise S15, coo in silver from dozen persons in
L .
has been the feather which has broken the
camel's back, and capitalists and property
owners now see that the pretense is made to
carry on the war in order to enable the
principles of communism to be carried out
under the name of patriotism. Montero is
preparing to occupy Trujillio when the
Chileans abandon it. The Chilean troops
have been withdrawn from Supe and Hua-
choa, and the Peruvian flag flies over those
towns.
