Special cable Dispatch TO The EVENING STAR
LONDON. April Gas the fateful Thursday
approaches, public opinion grows more anxious
and eager, and Gladstones opponents more
bitter. To-day Chiders is regarded as waver-
ing. and il is not impossible that he may resign
after to-days cabinet council Nothing what
ever authoritative is yet learned about the
Irish scheme, but the following outline, fur
nished by a well-placed informant will be
found not far from the scheme submitted TO the
cabinet this afternoon. give IL with reserve:
Gladstone proposes to establish at Dublin a
statutory Irish national parliament of a single
chamber, elected largely by the same franchise
as the existing representation. Special guaran.
tees VIII be taken TO secure the presence of an
adequate proportion of Protestant members.
Parnell agrees to an arrangement by which at
least seventy-five out of House of three hun
dred members will be allotted to the Protes-
tants. To this parliament will be handed over
the whole administration of Ireland, together
with the exclusive right to legislate on Irish
affairs. An Irish ministry will control the
magistrates and police, undertake the enforce
ment of law, and have supreme authority
over all Irish affairs, except the military forces
OF the crown, which will remain under the
exclusive control of the viceroy. The viceroy
will be appointed by the crown. and viii prob
ably be non-political, as the viceroy of India.
He will not have a seat in the imperial cabinet,

larry will be under the direct orders of the vice.

in Ireland. Provision will be made for the
gradual conversion OF the constabulary into a
civilian or municipal force. The statutory par
Lament will impose, remit and collect all taxes
levied in Ireland, and defray from the same the
cost OF the local administration. The whole ofthe
customs excise will be in the hands OF the Irish
parliament. The only limitation imposed upon
the fiscal powers of the new body forbids the
imposition of a protective tariff, which would
close Irish markets to English goods. The GUS
toms excise and other taxes levied by the Irish
parliament will be collected by the Irish offi-
pointed, who viii be empowered to receive
the proceeds of the customs excise, to
satisfy the various preferential charges in
the shape of payment OF the imperial
tribute and interest on the guaranteed loans

parliament is established, and will govern the
imperial parliament. The number of Irish

questions involving imperial conscientious

commons will not be allowed to pass any laws
for Ireland or interfere in any way with Irish
affairs except when the Irish delegation is

cised by the advice of the imperial ministry.

the exercise of this veto or censure a minister

There is no truth in the report that the statu-
tory parliament will have power 20 substitute
