A Disposition Apparent TO Accept Glad.
stones Proposed Settlement Of the
Irish Question.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Dec. 1S-The news about Mr.. Glad
stones home rule scheme you received We'd
nesday has naturally set all England and Ire
land in ferment since its appearance here
yesterday morning. The verdict OF the London
morning dailies is SO much complicated by
personal questions that Ii is OF little imfort-
ance. The Daily Netcs, usual. had no sus-
picion OF the news therefore il treats il as false
The Standard and Times practically accept the
scheme. The provincial liberal press gives the
scheme warm general acceptance, though i'm
many quarters there is hesitating about the
truth of the news. The standards paragraph
yesterday contained one item conspicuously
wrong, and Mr.. Gladstone's denial of the truth
of the statements was based upon that. Some
such telegram from him was inevitable, but
this, for obvious reasons, was probably tele-
graphed to America in an exaggerated FORM L
feel bound TO add that the general accuracy of
my dispatch may be confidently relied on. OF
course detail or two may be incorrect, but a
general contradiction is impossible since the
source OF my Information WAS only one degree
less authoritative than if Gladstone had told
me The facts himself, SO he cannot contradict
them without contradicting person who, ne xt
TO himself, Is most qualified to speak.
Parneli has again mysteriousiy disappeared,
Just as he did on the eve of the enforcement OF
the coercion act. Even his nearest colleagues
don't Know where he is or what his address is.
ChamberlaiI,s speech last night leaves the
radical attitude exactly what it was, namely,
unknown.

MONTEREY, Mex, Dec. 1S.-The whereabouts

ENEMIES OF HOME RULE.
What Some English and Irish Journals
Say Of (iladstOne.s Project.

DUBLIN, Dec 1s.-The Daily Express, a con-
slant upholder Of the loyaiist cause, devotes a
leading article this morning to picturing the
consequences which would result from home
rule in Ireland. If the demands of the Par
nellites are granted, and any such scheme of
home rule is attempted as Mr.. Gladstone has
been credited with contemplating, the Express
declares that civil war would not be unlikely to
follow. There would be such "A clashing OF class
interests, such rivalry between the friends OF
the old regime and the partisans of tine new
order of things that civil strife could hardly be
avoided. And in case such eXtremities were
prevented, it is perfectly certain that there
would still be endless friction between the
imperial government and that of Ireland.
LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The Times says: "The real
danger is that amid endless protestations
against separation and illusory safeguards of
imperial unity, the control OF the commons
will be gone and will never be recovered, except
by civil war. We trust Engishmen will per-
ceive this before il is too late. 1t would be
better to cut off connection absolutely, and to
provide for dealing with Ireland as an open foe
than TO arm traitors by the farce OF pretending
to maintain unity without the power TO enforce
