Psrneii Conceded to Have won-Int.nse Feel
ing Among the Loyalists.
NEW YORK, Dec. 49, Commercials Lon.
don: Glsdstone's population Of the con.
jectural forecast Of his Irish bill, printed In
the Standard, has given great satisfaction to
the Irish and radical members.
Assuming the correctness of the Stand |
ards conjecture, the measure would be |
doomed to bitter opposition from the first. |
bill remains practically unchanged, and in
all points but one is accepted In principle by
the recognized Liberal leaders. The excep.
ton is the control of the Irish police. Sir
William Vernon Hsrcourt, late Secretary of
State for Home Affairs under the Gladstone
ministry, Is understood TO favor the proposal
that the Irish police be placed on the same
footing as the Metropolitan force, and on
this point the late Cabinet is divided. 1t is,
however, one of the details which Glad
stone is satisfied to leave open to discussion
hereafter.
IRISH HOME RULE CONCEDED.
Times London special: Parnell has won.
To.day's Ne,cs removes the last doubt that
Gladstone will consider Home Rule of
sweeping kind. As Gladstones programme
Is outlined 1t contains proviso that Ireland
shall continue to send members to West
minister, but it Is likely he will give way on
this point, as the Irish do not wish Imperial
representation. There will be Q Dublin
Parliament supreme over Irish afIairs-over
police, taxation, the courts and all internal
matters. This much seems certain. But
how it will be brought about is doubtful.
There Is q question of Gladstone's ability to
carry the great bulk of the Liberals for the
measure, as the Liberal papers are rapidly
vaulting TO the Home Rule side, but whether
It will be done while the Liberals are in
opposition or after their return to power, is
not sure. II must be remembered, too, that
Lord Salisbury has 1t In his power to dis
solve Parliament before the thing is done,
and 1t is quite likely that he will do this,
going to the country on strenuous anti
Irish cry. There is immense excitement In
London to night over the news. A dispatch
from Dublin says the police are intensely
enthusiastic.
CIVIL WAR PREDICTED.
DUBLIN, Dec. 1S.-The Daily Express, q
consistent upholder Of the Loyalists, devotes
It's leading article this morning to picturing
the consequences which would result from
Home Rule In Ireland. II the demands Of
the Parnellites are granted, and any such
scheme of Home Rule is attempted, as Glad
stone has been credited with contemplating,
the Express declares q civil war would not
be unlikely TO follow. There would be such
| q clashing of class interests; such rivalry
between the friends of the old regime and
the partisans of the new order of things, that
civil strife could not be avoided, and In case
such extremities were presented, 1t Is per-
fectly certain there would be endless friction
between the Imperial Government and that
of Ireland.
The city Of Armagh, in the province Of
Ulster. was to-day the point Of an immense
Loyalist demonstration. The meeting
adopted resolution, expressing the beli'
that the resort TO home rule principles would
be certain, sooner or later, to eventuate in .
civil war, and exhorting the Loyalist party
TO 20 to the utmost length In resisting the
efforts of the home rule advocates. The
resolution commended the Loyalists In Ire
land TO the sympathy of the Protestants
throughout the British Kingdom. More
degree Of earnestness that aroused repeated
cheers from the listeners, that the Loyalist
party In Ireland was ready to meet what
ever issue might be presented. "The Ulster
Orapgemen are ready to come to the front, y
said one Of the speakers, amid great applause,
sand when their services are wanted, 10000
men can readily be put into the field for
active service In the defense Of loyalty 10
the Government"
| LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The excitement
throughout Great Britain on the subject OF
home rule for Ireland continues without
abatement. Newspapers Of all shades oi
opinion and politics are urging Gladstone to
speak definitely in regard to his plans. The
late Premier, in response to q telegram sent
to day, asking him for information with
reference TO the Irish home rule scheme
which IL Is reported he has had under con.
sideration for some time replied as follows
"From my public declarations At Edin
burgh respecting the government Of Ireland
you will easily see have no further com
munication to make"
Il will be remembered that In the speech
referred to, which he delivered on Nov. IT.
he said, In effect, in reply to Parnell's sug'
gestion to give local self government to Ire
land, that when he learns through consul
tutional channel, what the wishes Of ireland
are, he will give them attentive coDsidera
ton, but that he cannot gain this knowledge
until the new Parliament meets.
George J. Goschen, prominent member
Of the Wing branch Of the Liberal party
having been asked to day for al opinion or
the reported scheme of home rule for Ire
land, replied that he maintained his hitherto
expressed convictions against home rule
and could not comment on any scheme o.
that nature until such scheme had beer
fully declared.
The Marquis of Harrington, who was Sec
rotary for War In Glsdstone's Cabinet, de
clares be has not approved the scheme, a
had been intimated in certain quarters.
