A SIGNIFICANT OMISSION
No Loyal Toasts Mt the Birthday BANQUET
To Parnru

LONDON, July 1.-The Conservatives
and Unionists, and some Liberals are
severely commenting on the fact that at
the birthday dinner given Parnell no loyaI
toasts were offered. This omission is re-
garded as the more fragrant because nj
the fact that the day was also the ami
versary of the coronation of Queen Vic
toria, OF whom no mention was made in
the toasts or speeches. The Parnellites
admit the breach of custom in neglecting
the proposal of a toast to her majesty, but
explain that the dinner was private one
and had no political character or signifi.
canoe whatever. The omission was unfor.
tunate, however, and will undoubtedly be
alluded to with effect by Balfour, to show
that the Irish are hopelessly disloyal
