In postscript Mr.. Gladstone limited,
not obscurely. that If Mr.. Parnsll re-
sained the leadership of the Nationalist
party he should feel 1t necessary TO re-
consider his own position, as all proba-
bility OF carrying homo rule during his
lifetime would have disappeared.
LONDON. Nov. 20. - Thirty eight
Psrnellits members of the House of
Commons Tuesday night signed re-
quest asking Mr.. Parnell TO convene

the House. Mr. Parnell declined to
grant their request despite the fact
that the rules OF the party provide that
q meeting shall be called when twenty
members sign a request for such a
purpose upon the leader of the party.
Several OF the Parnellite members
complain that they were not informed
OF all the facts in connection with Mr..
Gladstone's attitude toward Mr.. Parnell
as set forth in his letter TO Mr.. Nor
ley when they voted Tuesday to retain
Mr.. Pa rnell in the leadership Of the
Irish party.
Ii was learned after the adiournmen {
OF the Meeting that strong feeling in
favor of Mr.. Psrnell's resigning the
leaders hip was manifested, but the mi
nority vehemently opposed ii.

House OF Commons held Tuesday even

Mccarthy In not making known

IN the morning was severely criticised.
A majority Of the Nationalist members
present At the meeting said they had be-
lieved, previous 10 the meeting in
tue morning, that M Parnell,
after his rec lection, would not take an
active part in politics for few months
They now Jelievs IL Mr.. Gladstone's
letter had been read at the morning
meeting the result on the motion TO re-
tain Mr.. Psrnell IN the leadership would
have been different.
Truth. Mr.. Henry Lsbouchere's pa
per. has abandoned Mr.. Parnell.
The feeling that Mr. Parnsll deceived
the members Of the Irish party at their
meeting Tuesday is so strong that .
motion will probably be made 70 expel
him from the leadership OF the party il
be refuses 70 resign the leadership
Though Mr.. Parnell refused 70 call a
meeting OF the Irish members OF the
House Of Commons. a meeting was held
in = room Of the House during the
morning. The room was csrefally
guarded from intrusion, a member of
Parliament standing guard q, the
