nellites when he seeded from the posi-
ton assumed by him before the elections.

ment OF Ireland to men whose object was
separation.

Lord Spencer speaking at the New
castle meeting to-day said there were two
ways to deal with the Irish problem
coercion and concession. TIE former is a
dangerous means by which TO restore or
der, but what then? He combatied the
accusation that Mr.. Gladstone was hand
ing the government OF Ireland over TO
crime-mongers. Judging from the eyi-
dence obtained during his term OF office
as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland he had not
found that the supporters OF the Parnell
policy encouraged crime and conspiracy.
The colleagues of Mr.. Parnell, he said,
have real affection for their country, and
their ability is undoubted. The tax
payers Will incur no risk from the land
scheme proposed by Mr., Gladstone.
SEPARATION NOT WANTED.

want separation. knowing tito be imp0ssi-
bic, owing to the geographical po-
sitiOn of Ireland and the ties
of blood and social and business
relations existing between the peO-
pie Of Ireland and England Mr.. Glad
stones proposals, ne said, would
strengthen the union between the two
countries.

accept reasonable notifications Of the
Irish bills. The retention of the irish
representatives in the House OF Commons

and demoralize the Parliament at West

ing, said that Mr.. Parneil would not re-
gard as permanent any settlement OF Irish

stones alteration of the land purchase
bill, the amount proposed by MN was
only paper estimate. 1t could not
be d0uhtedltbat at least E $50, 600, 600 would
be required. He (Mr. Chamberlain J
would sooner quit politics altogether than
pledge British credit for such a sum and
such purpose. Irishmen ought to be
allowed to attend Westminster and vote
on all matters not specially remitted to
the Parliament at Dublin. He (Cham-
