LONDON, Jan. 1s.-The Boston Globes
representative has cabled tonight as fol-
lows: RumOrs are current this evening Of
an important change in the form of govern
ment of Ireland under the crown. While
strict reticence is attempted 10 be main
tanned by government officials enough has
leaked out to warrant prophecy that Lord
Salisbury is preparing for a flank move
ment ON Mr.. GladstOne's plan of attack and
one that is likely 10 have very demoraliZ-
ing effect on the Liberal forces. An at
tache of the colonial secretary's Office said
this evening when asked il ee felt the
liberty to affirm or deny certain rumOrs
as to the nature of the change above
referred 10: Il understand there have been
discussions in high places as TO the adyisa-
bility of conceding the manifest wish of the
Irish people for some modification of the
system which. under the name OF castle
rule has become obnoxious TO the great
MAJORITY OF IRELAND's PEOPLE.
While il would be manifestly improper
for me TO state for publication any conclu-
sions which the government may have
reached on this point think it will not be
violating any confidence, inasmuch as all
the facts will probably be well known 10
siOns have turned upon the question
whether the Irish people would not be bet
ter suited and just as well governed If they
were acceded 10 a certain extent a govern
ment similar in form to that of the colonial
dependencies" The gentleman declined
to state more definitely than this what was
i'm contemplation and asked to be excused
from answering the direct question whether
it was or not proposed to make the govern
ment for Ireland analogous TO that existing
i'm Canada or Australia. He stated, how
ever. that i'm case the arrangement was
cOnsummated according TO the plan which
seemed at present TO have found favor with
those in authority, the executive part of the
administration of Irish affairs would be in
trusted To
A wELL-KNOwN MILITARY OFFICER
toward whom the Irish had every reason to
| entertain feelings of genuine regard. While
il is still uncertain whether Earl Carnar-
von's resignation as lord lieutenant has
been accepted, the above statements seem
to favor the suppOsliiOn that il has, and in
any event it is known that Canarvon is
anxious to withdraw from the position.
| The rumors and apparently well-fOunded
statements which are current i'm political
circles tonight and of which the foregO-
iliS u INC lnOSA tiuHNNoltAla iNouiAiS oDtdliid-
ble. taken in conjunction with an important
letter of Earl Bedford threatening a disrup-
tion of the Liberal party because of Mr..
Gladstone's supposed leaning toward home
rule. have greatly increased the interest in
Irish affairs. and it is felt that Irish pOliti-
cal issues are daily having more and more
of disintegrating effect upon the present
makeup of the English parties.
The Press association learns that Lord
George Hamilton. first lord of the ad-
miralty, will succeed to Earl of Camarvon
as lord lieutenant of Ireland. Lord George
had an audience with the queen yesterday.
