| In postscript in his letter to Mr. Morley
| Mr.. Gladstone hinted not obscuredly that
| if Mr. Parnell retained the leadership Of the
| Nationalist party he should feel 1t necessary
! TO reconsider his own position, as all prob
ability Of carrying home rule during his
| lifetime would have disappeared.
GLADSToNE's ULTIMATUM A NECESSITY.
The liberal leaders are unanimously of
| the opinion that Mr.. Gladstone's ultimatum
| was an absolute necessity. Mr.. Gladstone
is annoyed because Mr.. Parnell, at the
meeting of his followers, did not mention
his interview with Mr.. Morley, and resents
keenly Mr. ParnelPs disregard of his pro-
| test. Mr.. Gladstone had previously inti-
mated his intention TO give no countenance
! to any amendment to the address il Mr..
Parnell was reelected to the Irish leader
| ship. This explains the sudden ending Of
| to-night's debate.
THE CONSERVATIVES GLEEFUL.
| The conservatives and unionists Rleefully
| chatted in the House over the split in the
| opposition. The liberal newspapers
| throughout the country regret Mr.. Par
nell's decision, and in many instancee
| comment in the strongest terms upon his
| houtIng Mr.. Gladstone and his contempt for
| his liberal allies. Conservative and uniou-
| ist newspapers are rejoicing over the split,
| which they consider as disastrous TO the
| Gladstonian party as that Of 1886, and
which they believe may possibly prove
| fatal blow to the home rule aspirations of
the Irish people.
PLEDGED DURING THE TRIAL.
| 1t transpires that during the trial Of the
| O'Shea divorce case the nationalist mem
bers OF parliament pledged themselves to sup
port Mr.. Parnell, whatever the result of the
| trial might be, aud not to consider the SEN
| timent Of the English liberals in the matter
Sir Charles Russell, in a speech at
| Checkney, said that many Irish members
were sad at heart because of the calamity
that had befallen the cause OF Ireland He
believed they wished that MIR. Parnell
should bow his head to the storm and
recognize the fact that he had inflicted
serious wound upon the conscience of the
people of both countries, and had damaged
the cause for which he had fought so long
ANOTHER 5rprrxc, To-nAv
The Irish members met at 10 o'clock as
| arranged, but with out Mr.. Parnel, who
was in another part Of the House. Another
meeting has been arranged for tomorrow
Several liberal candidates have written
letters announcing that they withdraw
from the field. foreSeeing certain defeat
The Parnelites openly assert that they
mean to stick to Mr.. Parnell even IL they
should delay home rule fifteen years by 50
doing.
GLADSTONE TALKED WITH PARNELL.
1t is learned that Mr. Gladstone had an
interview vita Mr. Parnell before the pub
lication of the letter to Mr.. Morley, and
that he urged Mr.. Parnell to retire from
the leadership of the Nationalist party.
The publication Of the letter caused intense
excitement in the lobbies of the House of
Commons. The Parneltes gathered in
groups and informally discussed the stu
alton resulting from Mr. Gladstone's action.
