control Of the local police, and requires
Mr.. Parnell to furnish guarantees that
the rights Of the minority and the in
terests Of the landlords shall be pro-
tected. ALondon dispatch to the Irish
Times says: Should the Queens
speech on the opening of parliament
not allude to local government for Ire
land. Mr.. Gladstone will move an
amendment to the royal address stating
that such measure for Ireland is nec-
essary. The, Parnellites will support
the motion. Mr., Gladstone will then
take Office and introduce 4 Bill granting
home rule to Ireland"
Opinions of 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
approval . Mr.. Childers telegraphs
that he has no knowledge whatever Of
Mr.. Gladstone's alleged proposals. Sir
Charles Dixie says it is premature to
discuss the subject. Mr.. Healey says
he cannot express an opinion on that
subject before his party meets. Mr..
O'Connor declares Ireland will not be
satisfied with less than Canada enjoys
and will not contribute to the British
exchequer. Mayor Sullivan, Of Dublin,
says: II cannot understand how any
assembly can save what landlords call
their interests. They will perish by
the memorable law Of nature. The
creed Of politics is as safe in Ireland as
in England. Home rule will be certain
to work satisfactorily to both parties"
Mr.. Chamberlain says that il Mr.. Par
nell should approach the Liberal party
in reasonable and considerable spirit
they would fairly and impartia.ly ex-
anime any proposals he might make
and adopt them If they agreed with
Mr.. GladstOne's principles. Mr.. Cham
berlain made q vigorous speech at Biz
mingham tonight. He claimed that
the bulk Of the Liberal members Of tie
House of Commons were Radicals, and
that the future policy of the party
would therefore be a Radical policy.
He doubted whether it would be wise
for the Liberals to accept Office until
the Tories had drank to its dregs the
cup Of humiliation. He confirmed the
statements made in the dispatches
Saturday last, and said that the Par
nellites were making overtures to Mr..
Gladstone. The speaker warned Par
nellites, Wings and Radicals equally to
maintain the integrity Of the empire.
The United States government, he
said, poured out blood aud treasure
like water, and fought and won the
greatest contest OF modern times to
preserve the Union. If Englishmen re-
tanned the courage and stubborn deter
Imination which were the ancient char
acteristics Of the race, and both OF
which were so conspicuously displayed
In the American struggle, they would
not allow temptations and threats to
shake their resolve to maintain uniln.
paired or effective union Of the three
Kingdoms. Earl Granville, being asked
his opinion OF the reported home rule
scheme, said: 8 Mr.. Gladstone's mes
sage IN regard to the Standard's allegar
ton is sufficient. It is needless for
myself to say more. =
