He looks pale and worried, and, as at pres
ent arranged will take a fortnight's rest at
Wicklow before returning to London The
National party Will not meet until alter the
delivery Of the Queens speech. LAST Wed
nesday, at Dublin, Mr. PaTnell referred 10
the terms of the proposed amendment TO
the address in reply to the speech from the
throne, calling attention to the distress in
Ireland and the urgent necessity for land
reform. The Parnellites profess to feel con-
fident that Gladstone will support an
amendment based upon these subjects, but
after the decisions of the Unionists at the
harrington meeting yesterday that willy
tactician will scarcely commit the hlunder
of forcing a contest upon the Irish question
at this time.
Liberal National Federation.
LONDON, August Sth.-To-day the Ma
tioual Liberal Federation, an outgroWth of
Chamberlain's caucus, has issued a mani
festo, saying: Although the result of
the elections has not realized our hopes
the situation is encouraging. The sup
porters Of half measures being the smallest
group in Parliament, Gladstone has Sc
cured the support of q vast majority of
Liberals and Liberal organizations, and, as
far as the Federation is concerned, the re-
suits of the appeal TO the country COM
pletely Justify the course taken by its
counsel. The manner in which the Liberals
responded to Mr.. Gladstone's appeal proves
that the Federation represents the opinion
OF the Liberal party, that party being COM
mitted to etfecting union between Eng
land and Ireland. 1t will never abandon
the object until that goal has been reached.
No progress is possible in Liberal work
until that has been settled, nor will the
Conservatives be able 10 indulge in con-
genial inactivity. 1t is the imperative duty
of the Liberals to obtain at the earliest pos
sible moment an explicit statement of the
Tory pol cy in regard to Ireland. The
Gladstone policy still lives and its ultimate
triumph is assured
