LONDON, March 2.-As a result OF
the Conservative meeting at the Carl
ton Club, Sir Michael Hicks Beach in
in the House OF Commons last even
ing pressed Mr.. Gladstone to allow the
discussion OF Mr.. Sections motion
against Lord Randolph Churchill to
take place Tuesday night. Mr.. Glad
stone replied that the course suggested
would be most unfair: that the House
should frat consider the motions that
have precedence over Mr.. Sections.
Mr.. Gladstone was not inclined To
yield. 4 9,rong whip has been issued
urging the Conservative members ID
be present on Tuesday night in the
event Of discussion OF the motion,
which the Tory leaders hope will at
tain the importance OF debate on
the Governments lrieh policy. The
Parnellites doubt whether the motion
will be reached on Tuesday night. In
case it is reached, ii is thought that 1t
will be postponed indefinitely.
THE IRISH QUESTION.
The government to-day indicated,
through ministerial ut!eTance, that
they expect 10 call up the Irish ques-
ton. The uttersnce was made by
| Mr.. Morley, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, in au address in the conference
OF Liberal delegates held to-day. Mr..
Morley was discussing the Irish stu
stion. lie denounced Lord Randolph
Churchill's recent hagi i)us attempt to
stir uD civil war in Ulster, and urged
the Liberals to do their utmost to
place their party in state CT complete
preparation for general election;
"foT," said the speaker, "the govern
ment ia now face to face with the
Irish difficulty and will probably be
compelled tn make an early appeal to
the country"
LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL
has written letter to the DAILY Ne,Os
describing the statement in leading
article OF that paper to-day, ID the ef.
feet that Lord Carnarvon and Lord
Ashbourne had prepared a scheme of
home rule for Ireland, as a filsehood.
He says: IL have never departed from
the opinions ex pressed in my speech
at Edinburg on December 20, 1888. II
is abs olutely false to say that Lord
Salisbury's government ever wavered
in resolute hostility to the repeal OF
the union, or anything approaching
repeal" In conclusion be says:
"Without, Of course, expecting the
Daily NegS TO apologize, | trust it will
cease to propagate calumnious libels."
In the speech referred to, Lord RAJ
dolph said thai the Tories would not
yield an inch on the home rule quea-
ton, and would not make any further
concession ID Mr.. Parnell, either on
the land anchise or on the local gov
eminent question. He advo Gated the
advance Of public money on the easiest
terms, to develop TO the most Irish
railways, canals aud public works.
England" he added, owes Ireland
reparaiion. Money cure9 most in-
iuriep, however deep, but the Irish
yells Of repeal must be answered with
an unchaoging, interchangeable Mo-"
DIFFICULT TO PROVE.
The Ne,os this morning, referring to
Lord Churchill's letter, admits that II
would be difficult, legally, TO prove tae
assertions made by the NelCs yester'
day, but says that it is significant that
the Irish members supported the Con.
servatiyes in the election and
in the division on the medi'
cal relief bill, and that the
conference between Mr.. Healy
and Lord Randolph Churchill resulted
} in the Parnellites leaving the House tC
avoid opposing the Conservatives
Lord Randolph, the Neacs adds, refer
to an old speech, but makes no refer
ence to his utterances since the speech
J YVES delivered. The Parnellites &C
, cuse him Of tTeachery. 1t il
impossible 20 know which sid'
to believe. As a result OF the co1fer
; ence OF Conservative leaders the Righ
> Hon. Hugh Holmes, late Attorney
General for Ireland, will move in thu
House OF Commons tomorrow tina
the House ia unwilling to vote th'
estimates for the civil service in Ire
land before the government an
nources measures for the rest ORATOR
OF oeial order in Ireland.
