of the Leaders.
Boston, May 5.--The Herald cable dispatch
from London says if ParneIl and his colleagues
adhere to the tacit agreements unquestionably
made, the government may be considered to
have now great victory. O'Kelly, Dillon
and Parnell deny having made terms with the
government. The fact is one of the trio
wrote Healey from Kilmainham, saying, in
guarded way, what the land league members
would do if let out, in brief, making certain
promises on certain conditions. This
was made still clearer by YER
bal promises given Healey by
Parnell in Paris two weeks ago, and the re-
lease of Parnell on parole was for the purpose
of giving an opportunity to come to terms.
Healy has been the paclticator throughout.
The plan was perfected in Paris between
Healy and Parnell, the former reporting to
members of the cabinet the terms of the land
league. The members at liberty are disposed
to stick to the letter of the agreement and
give as little as possible; hence the assurance
that Parnell will place no impeachment in the
way of the new arrangement duplicating the
design of continuing operations. The whole
leaf ue's attitude is hostile as far as the
pledges permit.
Gladstone's parliament must dissolve, and
will fall between the wings and radicals. The
latter will demand measures which the former
will not concede. Either way he moves he
will lose enough OF his followers to put an
end to his ministry.
Northcote thinks before the new policy has
been practiced many months it will fail as
completely as the other one. No audacity or
change will save the liberal government.
Sha q raifpr tod tO.OiOht his haliaf tbat no
dissolution Will occur. He says the oppos-
ton has no leader worthy of the name, there
fore Gladstone Will be able to tide over the
great crisis, not on account of his own ability,
but because of the weakness of his force.
Parnell says the rent manifesto will be with
drawn, as 1t is practically imperative. AS to
other action, he says. lie cannot outline q
definite policy unit he knows to what extent
the great reform would reach. He did not at
present see any reason for noteworthy change
of front, and he is more and more dissatified
with Lord Frederick Cavandlsh's appointment.
John Bright admitted that Cavendish was a
colorless man to certain extent. He was
appointed partly for that reason. The task
of outlining the Irish policy would chiefly fall
to Lord Spencer. He will be able to guide
Cavendish, between whom and himself there
already is the utmost sympathy. The govern
ment offered the Irish people the utmost con-
cessions, and had every reason to hope that
they will be accepted.
Forster will say nothing beyond the fact
that he declined to accept the slightest re-
sponsibility for the change. He feared the re-
suit, but hoped for the sake of his late col
leagues that it might succeed. Time alone
will determine which plan was best.
Healy says Smiths bill for, establishing
peasant proprietary was indefinitely postponed
not for the pretended reason of grave crisis,
but because Smith was afraid the government
would trump his trick by hearing his plan,
rejecting it and adopting similar one of its
own manufacture.
