London, Feb. 25.--Gladstone in
an article in the last issue of the
+" Contemporary Review makes
another appeal to the Conservative
party. He says the home-rule ques-
ton is one on which both parties
can cooperate. Gladstone thinks
that America suffers in her internal
policies from the unsettled state of
the Irish question, the action of the
Irish IN America being directed not
by American but by Irish motives.
Lord Salisbury in speech at the
Constitutional Club tonight urged
the necessity of the Conservatives
organizing in order to battle their
enemies. He said he regarded the
late elections as merely outpost skirm-
ishes which did not indicate the re-
suit of general campaign. The
Conservatives had nothing sensa,
tional to offer Ireland, but the adj
vice they gave her was on scientific
principles.
