his place in the Commons this afternoon,
but is not well, and has definitely concluded
not to attend the National L. ague banquet
to be given this evening in London in cele-
brat ion of st. Patrick's Day. E. Dwy'r
GRAY, NJ P, and editor OF the Freenan's
Journal, will preside in Mr.. Parnell's place.
The banquet in honor If st. Patrick 8
day was given at the Cannon street hot
this evening. There were two hundred
guests, including EarlAshburnham andmany
Parnellite members of Parliament. Many
kilograms were read expressing confidence
in Mr.. Parnell and the Irish cause. Mr.. E..
Dwyer Gray, who presided, regretted the
absence of Mr.. Parnell, who was unwell
Amid great enthusiasm he proposed toast
to ireland as a Nation adding that II
ever a race on the face OF the globe had
proved it's right to nationhood the Irish had
done &c. in spite of centuries of bitter struggle
unparalleled sacrifices and unequalled sui
ferinps the Irishmen show that they were
determined to obtain the rights OF nation
hood. Never was their determination
stronger than now. He hoped that before
long Mr.. Gladstone would be enabled to
solve the problem. Irishmen wished to
legislate for themselves in their own coun-
try, and would Loyalty accept any meas
ures giving them that privilege, thus bene-
fitting both countries instead OF endanger-
ing the Empire.

The Parnellites had been abundantly JUS
tiff: d in hoping that the Conservatives
would be willing to grant h ONE rule"
Lord Randolph Churchill's speech at
Belfast was evidence that the integrity OF
the empire was more endangered by lack
of integrity and honor among the Con.
servative statesmen than by the lmagin-
ary designs OF the Irish.

Mr.. Gladstone and said he hoped that Mr..
Chamberlain would not resign from the
ministry.
