CHAMBERLAIN'S REVOLT.
CONCESSIONS NECESSARY TO

of the Press.
LONDON, May Tin the House OF
Commons last night Mr.. Chamberlain
gave notice that be would move rejection
Of the land purchase bill.
Michael Davitt has written a let
ter TO the Daily News, in which be
says that the difference between
Mr.. Chamberlain and Premier Gladstone
being irreconcilabie, the proposals of the
latter are acceptable to Irishmen, while
those OF the former are not acceptable. If
Mr. Chamberlain's proposals prevail the
struggle will continue to intensity. IL
Irish representatives sit at Westmlnster4
there will be constant friction Of two
evils, paying tribute aud sitting at Vest
minister. 1t is better 10 choose the for-
mer, which is the lesser evil. By a stroke
OF genius, inspired by the angel of peace,i
Mr.. Gladstone has recognized the Irish
sincerely hoped that he will
not give way to Mr.. Chamberlain.
GLADSTONE TO FIGHT IT OUT.
The Standard says: ''The government
is making strenuous endeavors to induced
the opposing Liberals not TO vote on tho
Irish measures, 1t has finally been de-
cided to proceed with the land purchase
bill, despite the opposition to the measure.
IL the bill is rejected by small majority
Mr.. Gladstone will advise immediate dis
solution OF Parliament.
The Daily haWa rapaue fta or0rnoaVah
In favor Of the land purchase bill, on the
ground that last years land act author
lied British credit Of f5.000,000 for the
purpose OF buying estates for small holds
ers, and contained a provision that thet
act should be renewed when requiTed.l
Therefore, continues the News, that $780,
100000 was only an installment.
OPPOSITION UNTaoUGHr OF.
Ridiculous opposition was then unS
thought of, though the security for payA
ment was inferior to that Of Mr.. Glad
stones present proposal, which provides
an ample guarantee for the whole Of the
money instead OF for only One-ffth, as pre-
viOusly. The Radicals appear to shy at
an empty difference. The former act pro-
posed to relieve tenants. The presents
bill proposes TO relieve landlords Land
legislation has previously failed from lack
Of vigor and resolution. Ii grappled with
firmly all difficulty will disappear.
cHAMBERLAIN's OFFER.
Thomas Bolton. member of Parliament
wrote letter TO Mr.. Chamberlain askines
him If he would support the home rule
bill on its second reading, provided IL be
considered simple affirmation OF the
principle OF home rule, leaving the ques-l
tion OF retention OF Irish members open
for consideration in committee. Mr..
Chamberlain replied: "lf Mr.. Gladstones
will maintain the Imperial Parliament
as the supreme representative authority
In the kingdom i will gratefully accept
the concession and vote for the second
reading Of tine bill; but 1 am unable to
find in Mr.. Gladstone's manifesto any
assurance. He asks us TO grant Ireland
the right to manage her own affairs, but
If geographical considerations must yield
10 national sentiment then tbe prayer oc
Protestant Ulster for q separate consider
tiOn deserves equal attention to that
given the demands of the populatIonl
which Mr.. Parnell represents.
ULSTER TO BE BACKED.
''The fate OF Ulster lies in it's own hands
II IL Is earnest in refusing 10 Intrust it's
liberties and fortunes TO Dublin ParlIa-.
ment fellow subjects in England and,
Scotland will never suffer the Ulsterites to-
be coerced into submission. have main-
tained my position against the bill ast
proceeding on lines Of separation or COLI
Onial Independence instead of federatlon.
/ have considered full representation OF
Ireland in the Imperial Parliament too
important detail 10 leave for a commit-l
tee. The question must be settled on the
threshold of the discussion. The exten-
sion Of home rule to Scotland and Wales
depends on the maintenance OF unitedl
representation Of the three countries in
one supreme,Pariamen leading TO futurel
federation OF the great dependencies oG
the crown, and the welding OF them into al
mighty and harmonious empire.
BEYOND APPROVAL.
Mr.. Gladstone's alternative has rem
dered necessary anomalies and restricI
tiOns which no true Liberal will approve.
He has produced "A hating measure which
offers no reasonable prospect Of hnal set
tlemeDt, and which Is certain to be the
fulcrum for future agitation. He has
brought US within measurable distance
OF civil war, threatening the ultimate
creation OF "A foreign hostile nation whose
reconquest Is actually contemplated as a
possible eventuaiitY by the promoters OF
the measure. SO long as uncertainty pre-,
walls in matters OF sucn paramount inter-
est, 10 is impossible for those who value,
the unity Of the empire to affirm the prin-
cipal of the bill.
CARLINGFoRD's CAUTION.
Lord Carlingford. an old and intimate,
colleague OF Mr.. Gladstone, before join
ing the Liberal Unlonist Committee, tried
90 obtain the sentiments Of the Premier
on the probable amendments to the Irish
measures. He ascertained that the home
rule bill would be maintained in all essen-i
tial points.
The Birmingham members Of theg
Liberal federation, at meeting to-day,
adopted resolutions favoring PremierF
Gladstone's Irish policy, which werol
passed at meeting OF delegates in
London on Wednesday. A resolution
was also adopted advising Mr.. Cham
berlain that II was his duty 70 support
the home rule bill on Its second reading.
