A Reconciliation Between Gladstone
and the Parnellites.

London dispatch-In the house of commons
Gladstone announced bill to amend the pur-
chase clause of the land act. AS already sta
ted in these dispatches this is designed to re-
move the friction existing between the gov
crnment and the Parnellites. The announce
ment was authoritively made in parliamenta-
~ circles that reconciliation had taken place
between Gladstone and the Parnellites.
The ministry is said to have promised to in
troduce at an early day bill amending the
purchase clause of the land act, the Parnell-
ties in return to refrain from the execution of
their threat to go with the tories at the COM
ing general elections.
The people are surprised at Gladstone's
sudden change of front in introducing an
amendment to the purchase clause of the
Irish land act, whereas he stated last week in
announcing the governments programme
that it had been found impossible to consider
this question during the present session.
There is little doubt that the change was
brought about bv Parnell's threat to obstruct
business and prolong the session. Parnell is
clearly master of the situation and so the lib
erals got up a memorial praying the govern
ment to reconsider their decision. This mem
orial, signed by fifty of the leading liberals in
the house of commons, offered sufficient ex-
cuse to Gladstone for the change. The house
of lords passed the registration bill.
