Unanimous In the Opinion that Glad
stones Home Rule BIN Will Fail.
LONDON, MAY 1.-THE Times says:
Gladstone / mysteriOusly and surpris-
ingly silent with regard to the treatment
of Ulster"
The Standard says "There Is absolutely
nothing in Gladstone's labOrious refer
ences in regard TO Irish representation at
Westminster. which is likely TO abate
Chamberlain's hostility to the home rule
bill"
The Telegraph says: cit seems that
Gladstone is so absorbed in the cOntem-
platiOn OF the merits Of his own project
that he is unable to appreciate the import
Of the objections OF Chamberlain and Of
his followers, who can't possibly accept
his concessions"
The Standard hears that Morley and
other Cabinet Ministers refuse to agree to
further modification Of the home rule bill
20 suit the Radicals. The fact was com
mented upon in the lobby of the House OF
Commons last night that while Glad
stone made sympathetic reference to
Harrington he avoided mention Of Cham
berlaiD.
The PAN Mall Gazette this Afternoon
says that GladstOne's speech last night
made bad worse. IL adds that Henry
Labouchere, who had acted as interme-
diary between Gladstone and Chamber
lain, had informed the latter that the
Premier was willing to make adequate
concessions in order 10 secure the support
of the Radical leader and his adherents.
The speech did not bear out this promise
in the way it had been accepted by
Chamberlain, and the Gazette says that
he was astOnished and Disguised. and
openly declared in the lobby of the House
OF Commons that he had been mieled, and
would now oppose GladstOne's bill "tOoth
and nail.".
