MR.. GLADSTONE'S PLANS.
HIS STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE
OF COMMONS.
Bill for the Future Government Of
Ireland-Bismarck in the
Reichstag.

LONDON, March 26.-Mr. Gladstone
and all the members attended the
Cabinet meeting, which ended at 3:l5
o'clock this afternoon, after a session
which lasted an hour and quarter.
Alter the adjournment Mr.. Gladstone
took a drive through the park. Mr..
Chamberlain and Mr.. Trevelyao left
the meeting together, and had a pri-
vate conference. 1t was observed that
all the ministers looked serious, both
before and after the meeting.
GLADSTONE
appeared in the House Of Commons
this afIerncoo. Referring to the sn.
nouncement made in his behalf yes.
teIdsy by Sir William Vernon Har-
court, Gladstone said the statement
he would make April 9Th would take
the form OF the introduction OF bill
for the future government Of Ireland.
The announcement produced sensa-
ton. 1t is now believed the Premier
has, in Difference TO the opposition in
his own party, decided to abandon,
temporarily, at least, his scheme for
buying out the landlords in Ireland,
and make home rule in some form,
pure and simple, the basis OF his
Irish proposals.
OPPOSITION TO PARNKLL.
The Loyal and Patriotic Union is
forming branches ia, the colonies to
carry on the work, creating general
opposition to the Parnellite demand
and Gladstone's schemes for reform in
Ireland. They intend TO accomplish
this work by agitation, both on the
stump and by circulation OF literature.
A number of public meetings have al
ready been arranged throughout Aus
ITALIA by the Union.
PROTEST AGAINST COURT DRESS.
Neatly 100 members OF the House
OF Commons have signed memorial
10 Speaker Peel praying that the rule
requiring court dress at official levees
be abolished.
MIR. GLADSTONE
will, on Monday or Tuesday next, lay
on the table in the House Of Com
mons his motion in relation to tie
government OF Ireland.
SIR CHARLES dixie,
in an address at Ohelsea tonight, said
he believed the Irish difficulty could
be settled by giving the Irish people
full management of all purely Irish
affairs. In preference to the new de-
parture advocated, he favored Mr..
Buts's scheme. The present system
OF government in Ireland was weak
aud unsuitable. II the holdings OF
the landlords we're purchased by the
government, the latter ought TO pur-
chase all other property whose value
would be affected by the concession Of
home lule. He was strongly opposed
to the purchase of the land.
THE CRISIS ONLY INTRNeIFIED.
A more careful etudY of Gladstone's
statement throws doubt upon the be-
lief that the introduction of home
rule bill would necessarily shelve the
land purchase bill. Chamberlain TO,
night said the discussion in to-day's
Cabinet only intensified the crisis. 1t
had not, however, precipitated any
designations. A final effort will prob
ably be made the coming week to Of
feet compromise between the Pre-
mier andthe disputants in the Cabinst.
Mr.. Goschen dined at Windsor this
evening, having been summoned as
Privy Councillor by the Queen for
consultation and advice.
THE GOVERNMENTS SUPPORTERS
have been privately assured that the
governments Irish programme has
been settled by the Cabinet The
home rule measure will be introduced
first, followed Immediately by the
land bill, Both measures, If passed
by the House of Commons, will be
presented to the House of Lords to-
gether. Chamberlain aud Trevelyan
will remain in the Cabinet until the
home rule bill has been tabled. Glad
stone dispatched messenger to the
Queen this evening with an important
communication, which it is believed
has reference to the home rule ques-
ton.
