many Parnellite members of parliament.
Many telegrams We're read expressing con-
tidence in Mr.. Parnell and the Irish COM
monerS. Mr.. (. Dwyer Gray, who pre-
sided. regretted the absence of Mr.. Parnell
who was unwell. Amid great enthusiasm
he proposed the toast, Ireland Nation,
adding that if ever race on the face of the
globe had proved its right to natiOnhood
the Irish had done so. In spite
Of centuries Of bitter struggle, unparalleled
sacrifices and unequaled sutferngS. Irish
men had shown that they were determined
To obtain the rights of nation, and never
was their determination stronger than now.
He hoped that before long Mr.. Gladstone
would be able to solve the problem. Irish
men wished to legiSlate for themselves in
their own country and would Loyalty ac-
cept any measure giving them
that privilege, thus beneitng
both countries instead of endangering
the empire. Other toaSts followed. Mr..
O'Brien. presiding over a meeting OF 1000
Irishmen at ST. Georges hall, Bradford,
this evening, made speech in which he
said that Ire!and'S prospects were never
brighter than now. 1t would not be the
fault of the PamelliteS if the most prom
Using chance OF etfecting a reconciliation of
the two people should be wickedlY sacrl-
feed. Attorney General Russell was ban
quoted in London this evening by some of
his constituents. In an address he said
that EngllShmea might rest assured that
Mr.. GladStone's Irish scheme would be
lust and equitable, and would unite the
Liberal party and strengthen the best inter-
estS of the empire Coercion, he said, had
failed, and it would be wise, therefore, to
give ireland judiciOus home rule. If Mr..
Chamberlain should resign his seat in the
cabinet the country would accept the resig-
nation. There was no excuse for deSerting
the government short Of very grave reasons.
MI Mccarthy, speaking at Glasgow this
evening. said the Nationalists wished to
welcome the 0rangemen, because Ireland
should be the country in which the Irish
sink all differences OF opinion.
NUMEROUS MEETINGS
in honor OF St. Patricks day were held
throughout the kingdom. The gatherings
We're mostly quiet. Mr.. O'COnnOr, speak
ing at Liverpool, said the position of Eng
lish parties was such as to excite surprise
and disgust. The ParnelliteS had been
abuudandy justified in hoping that the Con-
servatiyas would be willing to grant
home lule. Lord Randolph Churchilps
SDEecl III DClldSb was tFlutuC6
that the integrity of the empire was more
endangered by lack of integrity and honor
among the Conservative statesmen than by
imaginary designs of the Irish. Mr.. O'Con-
nor expressed confidence in Mr.. Gladstone
and said he hoped that Mr.. Chamberlain
would not resign from the ministry. The
Patriotic union of London has adopted reso-
lutiOns strongly opposing home rule.
