LONDON, Dec. 22.-The recent visit to
Ireland of Lord Richard Grosvenor. who
was government official under the admin
istraton OF Mr.. Gladstone, gave rise TO a
rumor that his object was to consult with
irish Leaders on behalf of Mr.. Gladstone.
In an interview, however, Lord Richard
salo ne went to Ireland merely fora weeks
snootlng; that he saw neither Mr.. Parnell
nor any OF MS colleagues, and that he never
spoke TO any one on the subject of home
rule for Ireland. Earl Roseberry. who wac
member of MIR. Gladstone's cabinet
writes that he is willing to concede homo
rule to Ireland on condition that the nnion
be maintained. Mr.. Parnell has sent LOT.

partys program. HIS says it would be mn
wise at present for the Nationalist tn

upon its policy in the coming parliament
MI. Herbert Gladstone, son of the ex-prem-
Ter, minister and member of parliament TO,
the west division of Leeds, has written
letter to news association, in the course
OF which he says:

OF Parnell, now that they have got the bene-

warfare is the only method OF getting i1stios
for Ireland.
FORSTER DENoUNCEs IT.
Mi. Forster, formerly chief secretary fol
Ireland, denOunces the scheme attributed ia
Mr.. Gladstone for Irish home rule He
declares that the concession of home rule to
Ireland, or OF an Irish parliament or of
Irish independence in any form would not
solve the problem and would be fraught
with danger, both to Great Britain and to
Ireland.
THEIR RESISTANCE TREASON.
DUBLIN, Dec. "a meeting of the
Irish National league was held in Dublin
to-day. Mr.. l. D. Sullivan. member OF
parliament, made an address in which, re-
ferring to the opposition of the Orangemen
and the other Ioyalists, he characterized
those who were clamoriEg against home
rule as fanatics. The land question, he
said, which had long been the subject of
bitter controversy between the people and
the landlords, must now be brought to final
settlement. 1t would be impossible, how
over, to guarantee the property of landlords
against the demands OF Irishmen in America
and Australia. He warned the Ulster
''braggerts" that if they should resist the
home rule measure after its passage by
the imperial parliament, their resistance
would constitute an act of treason. and it
would be useless for them ever to assert
themselves by fighting the queens troops.
Mr.. Sullivan said Mr.. Gladstone would
persevere with the home rule scheme re-
gardless of the clamors of those opposed to
the measure.
