CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Judge Gresham
this morning decided the petitions for
habeas corpus presented in behalf of
Charles Counselman. a board of trade
man. and James G. Peasley. treasurer of
the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy Rail-
road company, and held in both cases
that the orders of the district court adj
judging them in contempt and that thev
should be fined and imprisoned were
authorized. Counselman and Peasley
we're remanded to the marshal. The at
torneys for the petitioners will appeal to
the United States supreme court. In the
decision judge Gresham finds that Coun-
selman can be made to testify before be-
fore the grand jury because he is fully
protected against punishment on his own
evidence in section $50 of the Revised
Statutes. which prevents any evidence he
may give under such procedure from ever
being used to criminate him.. In the
Peasley case the petitioner is placed in the
same attitude. The force of Judge

of Mississippi and South Carolina were
as free to use the ballot as the people OF
Iowa, nor would the people be content
until absolute safety was assured to citi-

fairness and good faith was shown in the

HOME RULE MUST COME
Gladstone Says He Will Do
What he Can for Ireland,
But He Will Have Nothing to
Do with Parnell.
Another Fight in the United
Ireland" Office.
1Iome RnIe Must Come.

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Gladstone arrived
today at Retford depot and addressed a
meeting Of ., 900 persons. He said the
continuance of Parnell in the leadership
would be fatal to home rule in Ireland,
Scotland and Wales. Parnell was no
longer leader of the Irish Nationalist
who had separated themselves from him.
He (Gladstone) admitted hat the Irish
party ought to be independent and that
the consideration and settlement OF this
question ought to be left to them. but
there was something beyond all cohsidera-
tons in Irish politics, namely, the great
cause OF Liberalism IN England, Ireland
and Scotland. The trouble respecting
the Irish leadership was an additional
reason for granting home rule. Why
should English and Scotch and Welsh
poliucs depend upon the choice of an
Irish leader? The confidential communi
cations between the Liberal and Home
Rule parties and the conversation with
Parnell at Hawarden in November, 1889,
he said, were equally satisfactory to both
parties. He believed the O'Shea divorce
proceedings would entirely destroy the
moral force needed in Ireland for
auy one who would be a leading cham
pion of the national cause. The Liberals
felt that IN granting home rule they con-
stituIed the Irish leader constitutional ruler
OF Ireland. The Liberals were u unwilling,
alter what appeared in the divorce court
relative to the private aud public conduct
OF Parneil, to make him constitutional
governor of Ireland. 1t was absolutely
untrue that Merely had suggested that
Parnell hold office under the British
crown before home rule was conceded.
The Liberal party work in parliament was
to resist coercion in Ireland, and that
work was as sacred and and as urgent now
as it had ever been, no matter who might
be the leader Of the Irish party.
Gladstone subsequently addressed an
audience OF 5000 persons at Worksop.
He said the determination of the Liberals
was irrevocable. They could not under
take effectually 20 support the cause of
home rule at the next election in connec-
ton with one particular name. He pointed
out the importance of continuing the
struggle for Ireland, declaring that legis
lation for England could not be obtained
until the country had got rid of the home
rule question.

DUBLIN, Dec. 1.-THE struggle for
the possession of United Ireland assumed
a new phase this morning. Again Par
nell is in possession. The pom Of
Parnell who succeeded last night in fore
ing an entrance into the office and de-
stroying all the leaders prepared BY
Leamy, appointed yesterday to succeed
BodkiD, acting manager during the
abserce of William 0'Brien, lett a guard
in possession with orders to resist any
attempt of Parnell or his friends to enter
the building. This morning Parnell pro-
ceeded to the entrance and with the
assistance OF a crowd of his supporters
forced open the doors and took possession.
The police witnessed the affair but did not
Interfere.
After the office was taken Parnell ap-
peared at one of the windows of the office,
shouting that he would fight the battle to
the last; that he would only allow the
country to decide the is.ue. and that he
would submit to the dictatiou of no man.
He appeared to be ~fiercelv excited and to
nave lost his usual self-control. In COM
pany with McGough, solicitor for the
National League. he drove to the railway
station to take a train for Cork. Crowds
lined the streets and the windows of the
houses were filed with spectators. He
was cheered.
Parnell received an address from the
local branch of the National League, and
at Kildare he made a speech 10 the crowd
at the station.
