special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING SrAR
LONDON, May lL-Lord Carnarvon in a long let
Ter 10 the Times this morning replies TO Parnelrs
account OF the negotiations between salisburys
government and the Parnellites in 1885. He does
not deny that he met Parnell secretly in an empty
mouse, and above all does not challenge the au-
thenticity OF the correspondence published by
Parnell, from which all impartial observers draw
out one conclusion, that Carnarvon used his In
nuence TO induce his colleagues TO adopt a home
rule policy at first with every prospect OF success
out eventually when it was made clear, the tories
could not obtain majority, even with the aid OF
the Parnelite vote, the negotiations fell through.
Carnarvon attempts TO show he was halting be-
tween several opinions and merely seeking infor-
matlon from men OF all parties. According to his
account he was quite prepared to believe that
holne-rule or the government OF Ireland as a
crown colony was possible solution OF the Ques-
.lon. AS THESE plans are as wide the
poieS asunder, Carnaryon may be said TO rival
Maciver, the member OF parliament who was
KNOWN as the man OF an open mind, because he
subscribed both 10 the Liberation Society Tor dis
establishing the church and the Church Defense
sy SoSlety on the grounds that both sides were en-
Titled TO q hearing.
There are rumors that the Daily 7eLeoraph In
tenus 10 come over 10 the cause or home rule.
both Sir Edwin Arnold, the editor, and George
Sala, principal contributor attended the Parnsll
banquet at the Eighty Club. The TeIegrdph has
the largest circulation OF ali the London papers,
ana its support would ensure a gam OF several
London seats TO the Gladstonians. As ft is the
leaders or the liberal party confidently reckon on
gam OF from ten To nrteen seats in London at
The next general election.

CARNARyoN's LETTER AT LENGTH
LONDON, May ll.-Lord Carnar,on, IN his reply
10 MT Parneil, complains OF Mr.. Parnells incon-
slstency First, he says, Mr. Parnell, in the house
OF commons, In 1856, asserted that ne (Lord Car
narVon) had conveyed 10 him, IN behalf OF the gov
erhinent, knowledge OF an Intention To offer an
lrisn home-rule scheme. On his Qord Carnar
Nons denial that he had made such a communica-
tlon, MR. Parnell dropped the matter, ana did not
refer to 1t again until February OF the present
year, when he asserted that Lord Carna,yun had
expressed his belief IA the necessity for home
RUE. he now admits" continues Lord Carnar-
Won, "that he himself did the talking, and that
was only listener. The next stage OF Mr.. Par
neliS explanation viii, without doubt, bring him
into happy conformity with all have said"
Lord Carnarvon explains the points OF his idea
OF the proper basis for Irish selfgoyernmenJ briefly
as follows: First, the supremacy or the crown
and the imperial parliament in ultimate resort:
second, the control OF the police ana the appoint
ment OF the Judiciary by the crown; third, the
limitation OF local taxation 10 such extent as TO
prevent injustice; fourth the reasonable satisfy
Ing or the people OF Ulster; fifth the whole TO be
preceded by some land settlement.
10 These, LORD Carnarvon says, must be added
separation or legislative and executive functions.
he details very fully the difficulties OF such a
scheme and thinks that In the eyes OF English
men he may appear TO steer too close TO the rocks
anu qulckSands, while In the eyes OF some Irish
men a GIT coupled with such limitations might
appear worthless. But right or wrong he says
the scneIne Is utterly impossible now, Mr.. Glad
stone having destroyed ali chance OF a reasonable
settlement on such basis. Lord Carnarvon then
deals WIN the ecrowncolony idea In similar detail
anu gives IL as his opinion that though the plan Is
a ul1ncult one II Is not impossible. lie says ia
conclusion that he has written thus frankly In
order TO dIspel all ambiguity In regard TO his views
which he declares are the result OF his gathering
the opinions OF every class or the Irish people.
ms Ideas are entirely his own. and his late COL
leagues are In no way responsible for them. lie
Claims that his letter must be considered as a
whole and not In piecemeal
