Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, May 29.-A long telegram from Paris
In the Times OF Tuesday, purporting to give the
details of a conversation between Prince Bis
marck and Earl Rosebery, is now regarded
ridiculous. 1t was not time for such informa-
ton To tanSpirc. even IL Earl Rosebery had been
likely To tell anything before the cabinet meet
ing next week. The fact is Lord Rosebery, with
the consent OF the cabinet, took advantage of
private invitation 10 gain light upon the gen.
eral situation, but he bad no mission or official
object, financial or otherwise. Because OF his
ntical entanglementS, il is almost if Mr..
Gladstone himself had u familiar interview
with bismarck. Great things are likely TO re-
suit.

AssAILING TIE MOTIVES OF THE PARNELL-
There is an angry split I'm the ranks OF the
Irish party. A pamphlet recently appeared
under the title. Thrust Of an Irish Spike
bitterly assaiing the policy OF the Parne1lites,
accusing them of false prctenses, pecuniary
motives and practical collision with the British
government. The Irish national press was de-
scribSd ring OF blood relations and paid
agents. Parnell Is accused OF receiving a large
sum from Earl Spencer, and his whole policy Is
described as whiygory disguised under the ma
tionalist name. Parnel is called converted
Catiline. OF course much is made of this by the

come of a personal grievance against the nation
aiists; therefore the authorship is attributed to
Mr. O'Donnell, the member for Dung;lrvan,
because o: his recent quarrel with the national
lists and from strong Internal evidence. But
q Donnell assures me he had no par, or share
in it, and adds: Though | have not concealed
my opinion of the selfish. INSCRIPTIONS clarac-
ter OF some OF the Parneliite wire-pullers some
just tribute should be paid to Parnell's unques-
t1onabie patriotism and hard work. The vast
majority of the ParnelliteS refuse to believe
oDonnell responsible for the pamphlets.

head of his class. The remains will be sent

THE SPENCEH-HARRISoN CONTROVERSY.
The recent issue I'm New York of the spencer
Harri son discussion, with continent by the for

leads Frederick Harrison to write to the Times
this morning, charging Herbert Spencer with a
new and most unworthy form of1iterary piracy

REPU BLrCAN SENTIMENT AMONG THE LAWYERS.
a curious dispute. which is sign OF the
times, has arisen in the middle temple. The
chief of the inns of the court. Prince Albert
Victor, is to be called 10 the bench on June
10th. Anticipating Il rush u members and
students TO the dinner, the bench ha. issued a
circular announcing that places will be bal
loted for, and nobody Will be allowed 10 ballot
unless he has paid up his arrears OF rent and
fees. This has given great offense, first, by as
sumng such eagegness to dine with the young
prince, and. secofid, by making royal guest
the medium oil collecting small debts. prom-
nent memDers will hold a meeting this even
Ing to protest, and Sail 70; the reform , OF the
court. The significant fac; in this affair is the
exhibition OF republican sentiment on the part
OF one of the most conservative unions in the
country.
THE REVIVAL OF "oLIvrA"
The revival of "0iivia' by Mr.. Irving IS re-
general and genuine admiration. The
company were, OF course, certain OF warm
personal reception, but much more than this
was shown. The play is not one offering great
dramatic opportunities, but was acted with
admirable self control and dignity, and moved
the audience TO IA remarkable degree. 1t Is
really Miss Terry's play rather than Irving's
She never acted with more charming vivacity
than in the first part, nor with SO much pathos
IN the latter part. Mr.. Irving is considered
to have been affected favorably by his Amer-
lean experience. All the critics are agreed in
ft,nir ri nf
character of the parson. Mr.. Terriss, Squire
TlaOrnhM, was seen at his very best. Mr..
number of Americans present tokens of sympa-
thetic interest quite as hearty those of his
English friends. This international character
of the audience greatly enhanced the success of
the occasion, and his own pleasure in it.
EULOGY OF GLADSTONE.
The Nineteenth Century, June number, is of
unusual interest. Rev. Guinness Rogers, an
influential member Of the liberal party, has a
minister, in which he contends from first TO
last that Gladstone has been struggling against
to create The reason Of Gladstones unpopu-
larity with the foreign ministers is. he says,
that they have no hope Of getting him to Join
histories great importance will be attached to
the elements of disturbance in the present par
lament, and that OF all the acts of Gladstones
noble life posterity will rank as noblest the
courage Gladstone has shown in Drawing the
fury Of those who fancy nation can only
prove its spirits by wasting Its resources in war.
Barnett Smith, in the same magazine, has a
long article on Mr.. Lowell, concluding by say
ing: mo poetic mind deeper or higher than
his; no aspirations more finely touched towards
LOFTY issues; no voice more powerful for truth
and freedom have hitherto come to us from
across the Atlantic" Another article of twelve
pages gives letters from o private soldier in
Egypt to his mother. They give picture Of life
might envy. Nothing has yet appeared more
graphic nor in some ways more Instructive.
