LONDON, May 24-Following is Mr.. Gladstone's
reply to Lord Randolph Churchill, in response
to the charge that Gladstone had misrepresented
him:
Il greatly regret if l misrepresented your
statement Ny words rested mainly on your
speech in Ulster and the closing paragraph of
your letter to Young of the 7th instant. rms
paragraph is follows:
''If Parliament for the sake of purchasing short
lusory quietade. hand the Irish oyasts to their
hereditary foes Ulster will fight and will be victo
ricus, because SIZE will command the sympathy and
support of enormous section of the British com
muny and the approval of free, civilized nations.
''Let US consider this paragraph substituted
for the words which attribute TO you in quoting
from recollection. To this l am constrained to
apply exactly the same words l expressed in
Parliament"
The negotiations between the Chamberlain
party and the government continue, and there is
thought to be favorable prospect of a settle
ment of the home-rule question. Mr.. Chamber
lain has authorized government whip" to in
form the Ministry that the Radical dissenters
will not make the withdrawal of the home-rule bill
imperative. provided Clause "a be eliminated; that
they will not vote for second reading of the
bill, but will abstain from opposing it. Mr..
Chamberlain has also written Mr.. Gladstone
conciliatory letter explaining the writer's con-
duct in the homerule debate.
Prof. Goodwin Smith publishes another attack
on Gladstone's proposal to confer home rule on
Ireland. The Professor declares that it would
be difficult to instance parallel in the history
OF great country so sudde My, brought as
low as Great Britain by the Premier's proposed
surrender.
Referring to the support given Gladstone by the
Liberals of the nation, Professor Smith says it
behooves the English now to take warning.
while yet there is time, from the calamitous ex-
amples given in the United States
and Canada which show that when
once the political machine, becomes
firmly rooted among the people their electoral
liberties are ended. Mr.. Gladstone's Irish
policy has always been just as great failure
his foreign policy. His home-rule scheme was
Matched secretly. and its adoption would entail
upon the Empire incaculahle disaster Glad
stone himself, the Professor adds. is too near
the end of his public life to feel the full results
HIS hysterical manner and excessive excitement
while conducting the debate in the House of
Commons prove that the country is no longer
safe in his hands.
Archbishop Walsh, of Dublin, has been here
fer o week. The object of his visit is to try to
influence the followers of Parnell to consent to
the retention of the Irish members at Westmn-
ster in connection with the Irish home
measure. 1t is understood that Cardinal Man
ming having become alarmed at the prospects of
the withdrawal of the Catholic homernlc nom
bers from the British parliament urged the
College of the Propaganda to exercise pressure
rpon the Irish bishops with view { O having
them exert their influence upon Parnell in favor
of the retention of the Irish members. The
ground taken by the Cardinal is that the re-
moval of the Irish members would be injurious
to the cause of Catholic denomnatiopal education
in Great Britain. He points out that the Irish
Protestant members of the House Of Commons.
dwarfed in London, would become vigorous
minority in the Dublin Parliament Again, the
extreme Nationalist, who, in recent years.
deprived the priesthood of control of
the national movement, would be
likely to advocate Socialist principles
in preference to Catholic principles; therefore,
he considers federal system of home rule
preferable. The Propaganda has succeeded in
inducing the bishops to exert their influence upon
Parnelrs followers. with the object of securing
the latters consent to retention of the full Irish
members of the House had a conference, recently,
at the residence of Carolina. Manning. and the
hope was expressed that Mr.. Parnell would yield

Joseph Chamberlain denies the story that he
stated that he would glory in the downfall of
Gladstone. He says the story is an absolute
falsehood. He still retains the most profound
respect for the Premier
Mr.. Smalley's telegram TO the New York Trib-
une says: II understand that the Marquis of
Salisbury has advised the Queen not to refuse
Mr. Gladstone permission TO dissolve. If she
were to refuse appeal to the country, it
wonld be made clear to the Queen perfectly
plain in fact, well to those about her, that
she would have to listen to the voice of the peo-
ple and to the wishes of her Ministers in the
House of Commons, and that if she did not give
way, all parliamentary government would be i'm
possible No one can tell when the division will
take place. With Mr.. Gladstone and Mr. Par
nell it is question of waiting. We can keep
the debate going for a month or six weeks
when We please Time is helping Mr. Gladstone
and little further delay will help some of tne
indictments to see the error of their ways. OF
course, if Mr.. Gladstone knows that he cannot
get majority, he will throw up the sponge and
go to the country The whips are working very
hard, and the moment they assure Mr. Glad
stone either that he can rely upon a majority or
the reverse the end will come, and he will wind
up the debate"
