In the course of the discussion in Parliament this
evening some fresh light shed upon the circnm-
stances which led to the release of the leaders oil the
Irish party. In spite of Mr.. Gladstones somewhat
qualified assurance TO the contrary 1t has
been firmly believed in many quarters that some
kind of an understanding existed under which, as

not made apparent in the letter, but Mr.. Gladstone
acknowledged that he was in possession of some
information beyond what 1t contained.
There is under consideration at the Vatican a
proposal to issue orders through the Propaganda to
the bishops in Ireland desiring them TO publish
pastoral letters condemning the atrocities.
reward of $500 has been offered by the Cor
poration for the detection of the persons who were
engaged in the mischieyous attempt to damage the
Mansion House.
