LONDON, May 25--The Cabinet met at
noon. When the Cabinet had been in ses-
sion half an hour special messenger was
dispatched after Baron Herschell, Lord
High Chancellor. lie was at the time en-
gagged in great lawsuit, but the nature
OF the summons he received induced him
to abruptly cancel his engagement and
repair AT Onoe to the Cabinet meeting.
The meeting lasted an n0ur and twenty
minutes. Five minutes after the adjourn
ment Mr.. Gladstone started for Windsor
Castle 10 see the Queen.
There was considerable excitement in
the House of Commons this afternoon in
consequence of the report that MIR. Glad
stone has rendered the resignation OF the
government TO the Queen.
CONCESSION DECIDED on.
The upshot OF the meeting is virtually
"A move IN the direction of concession to
the disaiected Liberals. Several of the
home rule bill be eliminated. After
long discussion it was decided to leave
this matter in Mr.. GladstOne's hands 10
deal with as he might think fit. His
mind was apparently quickly made up,
for early in the evening the government
whips were instructed to summon the
rank and file of the Liberal party to
general meeting on Thursday, when mod
itcatiOns of the home rule bill will be
m
ernment from defeat on the second read
ing.
MORLEY HOLDS ALOOF.
Mr.. Morley was alone in continuing to
oppose the elisiOn of the clause. The
Harrington section maintain their
enmity to the bill, and will not attend the
Liberal conference. The Ministers are
confident that with the accession of 80
Radical dissidents and 'dOubtfuls" they
will have a majority Of 40. The bill will
be dropped after its second reading. lis
probable that Parliament will be dis
solved in the autumn. II the Gladstone
government be returned the winter ses-
SION Will be devoted exclusively to dis
cussion of the home rule bill.
THE VISIT TO WINDSOR.
Mr.. Gladstone went TO Windsor to-day
in obedience to a summons from the
Queen and conveyed to her the opinion of
himself and mis- colleagues with reference
to the home rule bill and the proposed
dissolution of Parliament. The Queen
intimated that she was willing to meet
/ the wishes of the Ministers. The Liberal
! uniOnists, in spite of their new and
uRtHiea committees. are sangufne of sue
/ cess in the coming elections. They are
/ receiving financial support daily. Baron
/ ROthschid has sent them 600, and it is
! believed they have received several larger
sums. They are widely circulating anti
| home rule literature. The government
| does not promise TO reconstruct the home
! rule bill. but proposes to withdraw it
after it's second reading and bring it up
for the committee stage later, when the
objections will be dealt with open
mindedly.
RESUMPTION OF THE DEBATE.
The home rule debate was resumed in
the House OF Commons tonight. Wis
count Lymington (Liberal) said the bill
was chaotic measure, Ireland required
social remedies. The agragrian question
was at the root Of the whole difficulty.
The Attorney General said that one
reason OF the failure of the recent Irish
remedial legislation was that IL came too
late. Another reason was that the bene-
fts offered were not what the Irish
wanted. but what Parliament thought
they ought to have. Alhlding to Mr..
Chamberlain's views, the Attorney Cen
eral said the bill would really further and
not retard the federation.
ULSTER BUNCOMB.
The protests about Ulster were mainly
buncomb and bluster. The region in ques-
tiOn was merely bogus bugbear intended
to frighten the Obstetrics, whose alarm
was without foundation. The govern
ment, he said, sought to substitute real
for an unreal union. Cheers
Mr.. Treyelyan asked what the House
would have the members do whose opin-
ions differed from those Of their c0nstit-
uents? Cries OF resign
"They could hardly resign on every
such occasion" replied the speaker. As
for himself. he continued. be would leave
his constituents to follow their own
course. He was unable 10 support the
bill. He failed to agree with the Attorney
General that those who favored granting
autonomy to Ireland should vote without
inqulrlng into the nature OF the proposed
autonomy.
AMERICIs SECESSION.
Mr.. Trevelyan reminded tue House that
America, when asked TO pay tribute OF
{ 100000, had chosen separation. What
would the colonies have done IL thew had
been ass ed 10 pay a tribute such AZ that
demanded OF Ireland? Grattan mad in
dignantly refused To pay 20 England the
fncial surplus OF Ireland. The speaker
then quoted an alleged remark of Mr..
Parnel 10 the efecJ that he would not
rest until the last link that connected ire
land with Eng and had been broken.
MIR. Parnel here interpOsed, claiming:
"This is not tne first time that this cal.
umnY has hepn uttered. / demand the
date and place ot the speech"
Mr.. Treyelyan-"Clncin n Mr..
Parnell considers his words derOgatory
let him Withdraw them and express his
regret.
PARNELL's DENIAL.
Mr.. Parncll retOrted that Mr.. TIRE
velyan had not given the date and title II
the paper from which he quoted. He
(Parnell) possessed verbatim reports OF
his Cincinnati speeches, which showed he
had not used such words.
Mr.. Treyelyan said he fully accepted
Mr.. Parnell's denial. and added that the
date was Feb %, 1880, aud the paper " as
the Irish World.
Proceeding with his speech Mr. Tre-
velyan said that the chief objection 10 the
land purchase bill was that the measure
would prove ruinous 10 the country. He
asked why the government could not alter
the present bill tO meet the objections OF
some Of its most faithful followers.
