Out some Significant Hints.
LONDON, March 19.-It Is stated that Mr..
Gladstone will lot be prepared to present his
scheme of Irish reform to Parliament before the
first week of April. The Cabinet will not meet
again until next week. Many persons had ex-
pected that Mr. Gladstone would state his Irish
policy next week, because at the opening of the
session he said he could not present it until he
was through in the House with the governments
financial business, which he expected to have
closed by March %.
Mr.. Gladstone said this afternoon, in the
House of Commons that he hoped to be able.
during the coming week. to name day for
presenting statement of his Irish proposals.
Referring 20 current rumors about the nature of
the scheme for Irish reform which he proposed
to submit, Mr.. Gladstone asked the members Of
the House to exercise prudent reserve in
giving credence to any of them. He added that
his statement would probably be followed by
the introduction of a government bill TO carry
his plans into effect Mr.. Gladstone also asked
that members exercise wholesome skepticism
in regard to rumors of dissension in the Cabinet.
Some of the lobby frequenters think this indi-
Gates that the difference between the Premier
and Mr.. Chamberlain las either been arranged
or is in fair way of being arranged. The Con-
servatives, however. in view of the vagueness OF
Mr.. Gladstone's language incline to think that
the breach is beyond repair.
Lord Randolph Churchill is highly displeased
at the political Importance attached to his con-
ference yesterday with MIR. Chamberlain.
It is stated on indisputable authority that the
Qad; Of IN nd hot
Morley, Bright, Osborne, Morgan, Broadhurst,
Heneage. and other wellknown Liberal mem
bers of Parliament will join Mr.. Chamberlain.
Real Reasons for Chainberlain's Action.
London Gable Special.
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain is getting himself
very much talked about and not altogether in
complimentary style. do not think there are
many people in London who believe that his op-
position of Mr.. Gladstone's Irish landlord ex-
preparation scheme is worth q moments con-
sideration. so far as rejecting his real sentiment,
and his objection to the amount which the gov
ernment requires for this purpose is too trans
parent trick to deceive any one. Mr.. Cham
berlain went into Mr.. Gladstone's Cabinet with
his eyes open. He knew just what was going to
be done, in general way and his after thought
is q rather absurd subterfuge. He objects to the
likely that his real objection is to the single
chamber parliament at Dublin, which it is nm
derstood Mr.. Gladstone will propose. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Chamber
lain tried to thrust forward
little scheme of his own, which
contemplated local councils in Ireland. This
limited plan was simply hooted by the Irish, and
was received with marked disfavor and even
contempt by all sections of the Liberal party in
England Mr. Gladstones Parliament idea ex-
ceeds Mr.. Chamberlans local councils arrange
ment in its degree of concession to Ireland as
we'll as in its appeal to the settled ideas of the
Gladstoneites. Mr.. Chamberlain cannot, there
fore, oppose the Dublin Parliament clause with
out recalling his own scheme and arousing disa-
greeable reflections, and so iniuring himself in
the eyes of the people from whom he hopes to
win future favor. But he must oppose some
thing, to prevent Mr.. Gladstone and his friends
carrying through their purposes, and defeat
ing his desire for political fame and prominent
place in the party. His secession from Mr..
Gladstone on the land question is a little more
plausible, and is certain to be more popular with
the Radicals By taking his present position he
will be able in the event of Mr.. Gladstone's fail
ure, to try his own idea. There appears to be
chance that the matter now in dispute will be
arranged, and that Mr. Chamberlain will con-
tinue in the Cabinet If this comes about, there
will probably be little delay in Mr.. Gladstone's
introduction to Parliament of his plan
