LONDON, Dec. 21.-An interview was had to-day with
Hugh C. Childers Chancellor of the Exchequer under
Mr. GIadsones administration on the subject OF irish
home rule The minister said that his views on the
question had undergone change. He thought that
home rule granted TO ireland rigid line should
be drawn between strictly Imperial matters, which the
Imnerial Parliament alone should deal with,
and measures relating to the ordinary admin
istration Of justice internal trade railroads puohc
works education aud the relief OF the poor all oil whch
questions could be better dealt with by the local gov
ernment Mr. Childers said he was generally disposed
to meet in generous spirit the request Of Ireland for
local self.government He thought that Parliament
might require in the regulation OF purely Irish
matters the maintenance OF religious liberty and strict
observance OF contracts and that the rights OF property
be as much protected under the United States Consu
tuition from infringement by the individual state.
Joseph Cowen a Radical reformer and member of
Parliament elect for Newcaste-on-Tyne, has Issued
manifesto TO his constituents respecting home rule for
Ireland. Mr. Cowen was the cHlei one OF the cP eNceP
tions made by Mr. Parnel In his manifesto lnstruclng
Nauonalists not to vote for Liberal or Radical
candidates. Mr. COweD says: "I Is impossible
for England consent to protective tailns Tor
Ireland the conscaton OF prOpertyof landowners IN
ireland irish members 10 !eglsiate on
the home of England In addition to having theT
own parliament. With these exceptions approve OF
hone rule for Ireland Paper guarantees Tor the repre-
sentation OF nnorittes the equitable partition OF All
imperia charges, and the unity OF the EMPIRE III my
opnion, are useless The best security against as
rpiion OF the union is the mutual interests existing De-
tween England and Ireland.
