HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

A | trOI of Home fairs.
 | LONDON Dec. 1S.-The fact that an Irisl
 Parliament will at last be proposed in tn,
 approaching session is regarded as beyond
 doubt. The conjectures of political gossip!
 now turn altogether upon matters of minol
 detail. It is currently stated tonight tha
 the Queen has signifed to both Lord Sails
 bury and MT. Gladstone that she will not
 offer any opposition to a scheme for Irisf
 control of home affairs, though there is nc
 doubt that she is opposed to any such pol
 icy.
 ! LONDON, Dec. 19.-The excitement owe
 the home rule proposition continues at fever heat. All the papers are urging Gladstone l to speak definitely as to his scheme of home rule, but he refuses to commit himself and ! answers all appeals by oracular references 1 to his former utterances. In reply to an in l quiry made by the United Press oorrespon- | dent to day Gladstone telegraphed: "Fron1 my public declaration at Edinburgh respect ing the government you will easily see that I have no further communications to make. 5 This is understood to refer to MT. Glad .stone's speech of November IF in which he replied to MT. Parnell's suggestion that
 the ex-Premier had better frame a
 plan for the local government of Ireland.
 On that occasion MT. Gladstone said:
 My reasons for not complying with Mir
 ParnelPs request are that, though Ireland
 wishes and deserves respectful and favorable
 attention, yet until the elections the Irish
 wishes are constitutionally unknown. Mir.
 Parnell has taken me for person wanting in experience in public life or who has not profted by experience, if he imagines me rash enough to make myself vol untary physician for the people of Ireland instead of those authorized doctors she sends to the House of Commons. It twould serious ly damage any proposal matched ill my mind if the Irish constitutional question should arise. If a proposal be made it can only be effectively made by the government al though the government are rather silent on the subject and appear disinclined to use language calculated to render less easy their relations with the party to whom they owe much through the transactions of the last Parliament"
 Of the present government every minister of the opposition will require to hear their views before expressing his own. Thus it is impossible to accede to MT. Parnel1's kind invitation. The Rt. Hon. George J. Goschen telegraphs to the United Press that he ma in- tains his conviction against home rule and cannot comment on the proposed scheme un- til 1t is fully declared Lord Harrington re- piled briefly that he did not approve of home rule for Ireland.
 John O'Connor Power, Nationalist iu an expressed his approval of the scheme. He thought it was on the whole fair and it was based upon the scheme de- vised by the late Irish leader, Isaac Butt. He did not, however, believe in the proposal to infnse eresxa nominees in the new Irish par for discussion. H9berieved Parneff's candId acceptance was necessary to tus- tify the government in introducing any scheme of home rule. John Ellison l M. P, an Orangeman, said in an interview that any form of home rule would be direct violation of tho constitution Cndsr which thousands of Englishmen and 1 Scotchmen had invested money in Ireland. l To grant home rule would be to betray the | minority in Ireland and they would hold the l English responsible.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-At tine meeting of 1 the board of aldermen to-day the law com l mittee reported that as there was question l regarding the title of the city's right to allow Riverside Park to be used as @ cemetery | some difficulty might arise concerning the 1 tomb of General Grant being allowed to l remain there. A resolution | asking the legislature to pass an act which | would settle the question beyond perad- 1 venture was passed.
