Gladstone and Parnell Foretelling the
Future of Ireland.
LONDON, March 2-In the house Of com
mons last evening Mr.. Gladstone, declared
that the difficulties placed in the way OF
settlement of the land question were due TO
the action Of Mr.. Chamberlain, Lord Harting-
ton and their friends When the effect Of
their action, which resulted in the distress Of
tenants, became patent these gentlemen OBJ
stinately refused to deal with the questions
concerning them. The plan of campaign
was direct and necessary offspring Of their
course
Mr. Gladstone said he had never vindicated
the cause Of those who had committed
breaches Of the law, but he was compelled to
say that this was one Of the cases in which
the law makers were more responsible than
the law breakers.
He denounced the degrading hardships and
personal indigniues which the Parnellite
members and their ndherents had suffered,
and denied the accusation that political pris-
oners had suffered similar indignities and
hardships under the government of the
Liberals.
Concluding, Mr.. Gladstone asserted that
home rule was surely coming, and many of
those opposing it must already see in the
handwriting on the wall the signs Of their
approaching doom.
Mr. Goschen denied that the government
desired to delay Irish local government. When
the time should become opportune they would
be ready TO grapple with the matter.
Mr.. Parnell upon entering the house was
greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the op-
position members, every one of whom rose to
his feet and waved his hat, including Mr.
Gladstone When he rose to speak the dem
onstration was repeated.
Mr.. Parnell said he believed that his col
leagues and friends who had suffered through
Mr. Balfour's principles would be richly re-
warded in the near future by attaining the
object they had at heart Ireland would
have been long ago tranquil but for excep-
tional law, the result of which the govern
ment was responsible for, and upon which the
ministry must stand or fall He would not
discuss the conspiracy which had been as
sisted by the ministers to steal the liberties
of Ireland. He was confident that English
men would soon recognize the possibility of
home rule, and lrishmen knowing that they
were turning their ear to the reason OF the
question would steadily resist the incitement
of disorder and pursue the true path which
Mr.. Gladstone had indicated in 1885.
When the house Of commons adjourned the
Radical and Nationalist members banded
together, and surrounding DIR. Tanner es-
corted him out amid shouts of laughter, the
member from Mid-Cork joining in the hilar-
ity. The large group was quickly joined by
reporters and Others expecting the arrest of
the doctor, until the crowd had swelled 10
considerable numbers. No attempt was made
to enforce the warrant against Tanner, and
he was enthusiastically escorted 70 the Palace
hotel Arriving there in safety Dr. Tanner
addressed the crowd in an eloquent and inn
passioned speech, in which he highly eulogized
Mr.. Gladstone. He was uproariously cheered.
DR.. Tanner was arrested at his hotel at an
early hour this morning.
