4 Liberal Scheme for Home
Rule in Ireland has Been
Decided Upon.
Gladstone Thinks that Only an

Meet the Case.
THE SCHEME FOR HOME RULE.

LONDON. Dec. 10 The Paul Mall
Gazsuc announces this afternoon
that despite the partial denial of
Gladstone this morning, liberal
scheme for home rule in Ireland has
Been decided upon. This scheme
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. Toe Irish members
will continue Co sit in the imperial
parliament at West Minister, and
lake part in the imperial legislation
The scheme further provides that
Ireland shall have control Of the
local police aud requires PArnell TO
furnish guarantees that the rights of
the minority aud the interests of the
landlord will be projected.
THE OPINIONS OF VARIOUS LEADERS.
LONDON, Dec. 10 The opinions of
various leaders have been sought on
the subject of Irish home rule, the
proposals of which have caused a
great sensation in political circles
TIE PAU Mall G lzette having alleg-
ed that Earl Spencer had acquiesced
in the scheme, Earl Spencer tele-
graphs: mo scheme of home rule
has received my approval. "
NJ CnilderS telegraphs that he has
no knowledge whatever of Gladstone
alleged proposals.
Sir C6arles Dixie SAYS it is prema-
ture to discuss the subject.
Mr. Hsaiy says he cannot express
an opinion on the subject before his
party meets.
Mr.. O'Connor declares that Ireland
will not be satisfied with less than
what Canada enjoys, and will not
contribute to the British eXchequer.
Mayor Sullivan, of Dublin says: II
can not understand how any assembly
can save what landlords call their in
terests. They will perish by the mex
orable law of nature. The minori-
ties creed of politics is as
safe in Ireland as England. Larger
home-rule will be more certain to
work satisfactory to both parties. Mr..
Chamberlain saws if PArnell should
approach the liberal party in a reason
able and considerable spirit they would
fairly and impartially examine any
proposals he might make aud adopt
them if they agreed with Gladstone 5
principles
ANOTHER STATEMENT FROM GLADSTONE.
LONDON h 1.-The folio TIhg
addluoaAl telegram was received from
Gladstone at a late hour tonight;
MY reply in regard to the Standard S
statements applies also to those Of the
Pail Mall G4z9tte and Daily News.
Although those statements were un-
auth0rz I'd proposals they may con
veniently be canvassed. Oniy an
irish parliament will meet the case
Of local councils, and that would be
useless. Tne right to veto the
att of an Irish ministry would
be an illusion propose
that instead of the exercise Of soyer-
eigu power on the advice OF minis
ter responsible to the imperial parlia-
ment, the suggestion Of aa Irish prlvy
council is worthy Of attentlos TIE
priyy council survives only as a relic.
The substitute is a cabinet. The ques
tons Of commerce and police are diff
foult ones but With limitation | be
liege that the home rule may be safe
ly granted and that it would tend to
raise the character OF irish m sm osrs,
The press ASSOCIATION says Gladstone,
fores9eng the increase ia the strength
of the P4rnell party drafted scheme
four months ago for the self govern
ment of Ireland, according to which
the power of veto by the crowa could
be exercised only by the advice of the
prlvy council, convened especially to
discuss the subject in question. The
other points ia the scneme we're the
same as already Published The project
Wassubmittcd 10 afew political friends
Of Gladstone. Since the elections
there have been no formal consulta-
tIVns on the subject and it is MOI
known whether or not the details OF
the scheme have since been modified.
II IS supposed that Goschen, who is
almost certain to be chancellor OF the
exchequer in the next Gladstone cab
met will support the scheme. Mr.
Parnell was at Chester on Wednes
day, but had no interview with G. lad
stone or any one connected with the
nv-nnev,,to,.
