LONDON, an. J5.--Iatc last month Mrs
John Jennings, who Is connected with a
London news agency which supplies the
American press with much English news,
wrote q letter to Mr.. Gladstone inviting
him 10 visit America. The letter assured
Mr.. Gladstone that he would be
received In America with the
heartiest welcome, and the writer
ventured TO express the opinion that a
personal Investigation OF the workings OF
the constitution OF the United States on
the part of Mr. Gladstone would be pro-
ductive Of the most important results,
such results as no amount
OF reading would enable him
20 obtain. Such Investigation, II was
suggested, would enable him to deal with
the question of home rule for ireland
with far greater degree of confidence.
The letter further stated that Amer
lea generally believed that Mr..
Gladstone was the only man able TO
graphic successfully with this question.
In substantiaton Of this statement
dispatch from New York to that effect
was inclosed in the letter. A reply TO
this letter has Just been received from Mr.,
Gladstone. IL Is as follows.
HowARpRN Jan l.---SIR: could not re-
EAiN NhNh lOh
to me on the Esd uIt. otherwise than an
incident requiring my best consideration
for chance that reflection might open to
me some way of compliance. am sorry,
however, TO report that | have not been
able TO arrive ut this result My physical
strength isnot such as would permit me
to undertake voyage 20 America, and
the imperative demands on my time aud
thoughts In connection with the present
state OF public affairs allow
no intermlssion of attention. The
invitation itself, however, constituted
a new tie OF feeling with America. /
shall ever remember II with thankful ac-
acknowledgement, while the knowledge
that so many friendly eyes are watching
the course of events In this country
with reference to Ireland, will be
new incentive 20 the performance OF
patriotic aud plillaathropic duty, | re-
main, dear sir, your faithful servant,
w. Il. GLADSTONE.
To John Jennings, ESQ.,
1t is learned on high authority that Mr..
Gladstone was disposed TO accept the in
vltatlon. He is willing TO risk his
health III voyage to America, but the
political uncertainty has SO far prevented
him from making the trip. He may pos.
sibly be induced TO visitthe United States
in the autumn, after the conclusion OF the
coming session Of parliament
