SALISBURY'S IRISH PLANS
SONS OF ERIN URGED TO STOP
OBSTRUCTION TACTICS.

ment-Sir Hicks Beach Complains of
Constant Repstitions in the Debate.
LONDON, Sept. 15.-J. J. Clancy, Par
nellite, In the House OF Commons this
evening charged the government with re-
fusing to pay the slightest attention to
the Irish members when they urged rem
edies for the local grievances of the peo-
pie OfIreland.
Lord Randolph Churchill replied that
the accusation was unfounded. He de-
clared that the government was eager to
remedy every reasonable Irish grievance,
and intended for that purpose to develop
the functions of local government boards
and the board OF works in accordance, If
possible, with the views of the Irish MEM
bers.
THE GOVERNMENT IN HASTE.
The government, he added, would make
proposals to Parliament at the earliest
moment possible for placing all questions
OF local government and public works in
Ireland in the hands OF the Irish people
| and therefore he thought it would be no
more than fair to give the government
time to develop these intended measures,
instead of prOtracting the business before
the house by enforcing discussion Of de-
tails with constant repetition of every
Imaginable grievance which Irishmen
might have.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, also complained of the
constant reiteration of the same subjects
in the debate. He was unable to conceive
why this was done, unless 1t was done for
| the purpose Of wasting time.
Mr.. Clancy again arose and responded
that no one had asked the government to
complete hastily or TO complete at all any
proposal for local government in Ireland.
MATTHEWS APPOINTMENT.
Lord Randolph Churchill, replying to
the directors OF the Scottish Protestant l.
Alliance, who recently severely criticised
his answer to their remonstrance against
the appointment of Mr.. Matthews, a
Roman Catholic, to the Home Secretary
| ship, says he must decline to discuss the
matter. He adds that If the views OF the
| alliance were pushed to a logical cOnolu-
sion they would involve the repeal Of all
those acts of Parliament removing the
| political disabilities of Catholics and the
enactment OF the senal laws which q vast
majority of the British are anxious to
| forget.
MCARTHY's FAREWELL ADDRESS.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 15.-Justin Mccarthy
| delivered a farewell lecture here tonight
on the eve of his departure. There was
| for his subject 1.-THE Irish Cause OF To-
Day" He said the cause OF Ireland had
of late made remarkable strides. Mr..
Parnell had opened up an entirely new
chapter in the history of Ireland.
| [Cheers.1 Success was within sight,
| 1t was hardly a question OF
years, but rather question OF
months. The most eloquent of
| English orators, the most gifted OF Eng
lish statesmen, Glads to1e, was now the
leader of the home rule cause, and behind
him was the great English Democratic
party, Only some strange, unparalleled,
| IN tai mistake by the Irish could prevent
success, and, please Heaven, they would
not make such a mistake. Applause.
''The test OF true lrshman is" said he,
sis he home rulerW
SEPARATION NOT ASKED.
The Irishmen, he continued, did not ask
| to dissolve partnership with Great
Britain; they only insisted upon their
right of governing themselves. Irisbmen
were tired OF being enemies OF England,
| especially as English friends had so sud
| denly and noblv risen to a sense OF their
duty toward Ireland. Applause. He
| said he was not going to America on a po-
litical mission. He had heard, however,
that educated Americans did not believe in
nome rule, and he would try TO find them
out. He thought that on his return he
would be able to give a list Of them in
very small compass. He hoped 70 return
in time TO take part in the great strug-
gle which would begin in the
next session Of Parliament and
which would lead to the complete
ana consummate success of the Irish
cause. [Applsuse. Theirs was the
cause of civilization, enlightenment, pro-
grees and humanity, and under Gods
providence it could not possibly fail to
meet with success. AT the close OF his
speech Mr.. Mccarthy was loudly ap-
pauded.
PARNELL OPPOSES OBSTRUCTION.
LONDON, Sept. 1G, A. M.--The Morn
ing Post says that there Is a tension in
the Parnel party and that Mr.. Parnell
has strongly condemned the Obstructive
