ENGLAND STIRRED FROM CEN
TIRE TO CIRCUMFERENCE.
An Irish Parliament at Dublin Whose
Acts the Grown Can Veto Only on the
Advice of the Irish Ministry-Views of
the Psrty Leaders on 1t.
! LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE following dis
patch from Mr.. Gladstone was received
to-day by the News Association:
HAwARDEH, Dec. ", 1855.
! The scheme for home rule in Ireland, pub
! lshed in the Standard this morning, and pur-
| porting to be my plan for settlement of the
Irish question, is an inaccurate representa-
tion of my views. Ipresume it is speculation
upon them. IL was published without my
knowledge or authority.
THE SCHEME IN DETAIL.
The PdU Mall Gazette this afternoon
announces that despite the partial denial
of Mr.. Gladstone this morning, the Liberal
scheme for Home rule in Ireland has been
decided upon. This scheme, the Gazette
reiterates, provides for the creation OF an
| Irish Parliament at Dublin, the acts OF
which the Crown will reserve the right TO
veto only upon the advice OF the Irish
ministry. Irish members will continueto
sit in the imperial parliament at West
minister and take part in the imperial Leg
islatiOn. The scheme further provides
that Ireland shall have control OF the local
police, requires Mr.. Parnell to furnish
guarantees for the rights Of the minority,
and the interests OF landlords shall be
protected.
GLADSTONE MAKES A FURTHER STATE
MENT.
| LONDON, Dec. Is, 1 A. M.-The follow
ing additional telegram was received from
nluA 4 a Anf a
NV reply in regard to the StaRddrd's state
ments applies also to those Of the PdH BdU
6dsette and the Ddily Netos. Although those
statements were unauthorized the proposals
may conveniently be canyassed' only an
Irish Parliament will meet the case. Local
councils, etc, would be useless. The right to
veto the acts of an Irish ministry would
be an illusion. / propose instead the
q minister responsible to the imperial parlia-
ment. The suggestion OF an irish prlvy coun-
| Gil is unworthy OF attention Inc prlVy coun
| Gil survives only as relic. Ine substitute is
| a cabinet. The questions of commerce ana pO-
lice are different ones, but with limitations.
| believe that home rule may safely be grant
ed, and that it would tend to raise the charac-
ter of the Irish members.
DRAFTED -FOUR MONTHS AGO.
LONDON, Dec. 1s, A. M.-The Press
Association says that Mr.. Gladstone, fore
seeing the increase in the strength of the
Parnell party, drafted scheme four
months ago for the government OF Ireland,
according to which the power Of veto by
the crown could be exercised only on the
advice of the privy council, convened es-
pecially to discuss the subject in ques-
tion. The other points in the scheme were
the same as already published. The pro-
ject was submitted to a few political
friends of Mr.. Gladstone since the elec-
tions.
NO FORMAL CONSULTATIONS.
There have been no formal consulta-
tions on the subject, and ii is not known
whether the details Of the scheme have
since been modified. 1t is supposed that
Mr.. Goschen, who is almost certain to be
Chancellor OF the EXchequer in the next
scheme. Mr.. Parnell was at Chester on
Wednesday, but had no interview with
Mr.. Gladstone or any one connected with
the ex-Premier.
SIR dixie DIsPLKAsED.
Sir Charles Dixie, in a speech at Chel-
sea to might. expressed anger at the ac-
ton Of the Conservatives in rejecting the
protered support. He said it was impOs-
sible for Lord Salisbury to expect the Lib
: erals to give him vote Of confidence in
addition to permitting him to remain in
power. Sir Charles adhered TO the views
previously expressed by him in the Irish
J question.
, The Standard this morning depl0res
Mr.. Gladstone's political prOfligacy.
, The Morning Post predicts civil war.
A letter from Herbert Gladstone was
read at the National Liberal club last
night. in which be says that Mr.. Parnell
I has not informed the Liberal leaders in de-
: tail what measures would satisfy him,
and that much depends thereon.
OPINIONS OF THE LEADERS.
: The opinions of the various leaders have
, been sought on the subject Of the Irish
home rule proposals, which have caused
. | a great sensation in political circles. The
| Pail Mall Gazette having alleged that
Earl Spencer had acquiesced in the
scheme, Earl Spencer telegraphs: "NO
scheme OF home rule has received my ap-
prevail"
MIR. Childers telegraphs that he has no
knowledge whatever Of Mr.. Gladstone's
alleged proposals.
TOO YOUNG TO BE DISCUSSED.
sir Charles Dixie says it is premature
to discuss the subject.
r Mr.. Healy SAYS he cannot express an
opinion on the subject before his party
meets.
/ Mr.. O'Conner declares that Ireland will
not be satisfied with less than Canada
z enjoys, and will not contribute 10 the
British eXchequer.

BID TO PARNELL.
Mr.. Chamberlain says: at Mr.. Parnell

would fairly and impartially examine any
