retention of Irish members In the I'M
perial parliament, or the settlement OF
the land question, or agrarian diiiiculties,
or that tho conversation between them
WINS strictly confidential. To publish
even a rude account Is to break the seal
of con ddcnce, which alone renders po-
litcal co. opera ton possible. Every sng-
gostion made to ParncIl was from
written memoranda to which Gladstone
can refer. Neither Parnell nor himself
was bound by the conversation to an
absolute acceptance of the proposals as
canvassed.
During the year that since elapsed he
has never received from Parnell any In
timation of an alteration of his views
regarding any of them.
In conclusion Gladstone says he al
ways held, both in public and private,
that the national party of Ireland ought
to remain entirely Independents of the
liberal party of Great Britain. 1t Is
their duty and his duty, conformably
with the spirit of Grattan and O'Connell,
to study all the adjustments in the
great matter of home rule which may
tend to draw to their side moderate,
equitable men. But for him to propose
any measure except such as Ireland
could approve on lines already laid
down would be faulty as regards him

LAST DEsPERATE MOVE.
Michael Davitt Say. tho Worst Thing
He Has Done.

Michael Davitt was interviewed re-
garding the political crisis. lie said the
Parnell manifesto is the last desperate
move. / do not see how he could have
struck Ireland worse blow. He is
furious against the majority of his party
and in his anger against them and Glad
stones letter runs amuck. According
to him a mum Der OF the members of his
own party are false, and Gladstone and
the English liberal wire.pullers are

Davett. further referring TO ParnelPs
cry against lluwarden proposals says he
agreed in 1886 10 the clauses OF the bill
entirely excluding Irish representation
and retaining for time imperial control
OF the police and Judiciary. The Haw-
arden appeals were as bad when made us

PRESS COMMENT.
Very Bittor Feeling Manifested To-
ward ParneiI.

1t is reported that Gladstone will is
sue counter manifesto. All the papers
comment at great length on the matter.
The Post says a bomb has been ex
ploded and Pdrnell turns evidence
against his fellow consprators to save
his own political life. The manifesto
rendered the prospects for home rule
worse than ut any time since 1885.
The Daily News says this is the last
fatal disservice which obliterates many
if not all OF his incompatible services.
The News appe ais to the Irish clergy
and people not to allow Parnell to drag
down the home rule cause in his own
fall by belief in the serious misappre-
hension of their Eng slish friends.
The Chronicle says Parnelrs most
pawerful blow is the revelation of an
object of the paralysis of the Gladstonan
party ovor the land question and Nor.
ley's confession of their inability to as
sist the sufferers FROM the plan OF cam
paign. The manifesto clearly shows
that Parnell Is not a person with whom
any statesman Gun venture to hold con-
tidential relations. Irish ingratitude in
politics is probverbial, but never before
was II showed with such cold, calcu-
lating cynicism.
The Standard says the manifesto Is
highly damaging to the credit OF Glad.
stone and Morley as straightforward
statesmen. No English politician will
ever trust Parnell again, but he has
chosen the right time to win back the
fanatical regard of Irishmen.
The Times says the manifesto shivers
forever the supposltlon that Parnell can
ever again be treated as n trustworthy
friend or honorable foe. 1t is probably
the most shameless document OF English
public lie seen since, the days of the
revolution. The Times thinks, how
ever, it will probably effect its
purpose in reference to the severity of
the blow iniiicting ON Gladstone's i'm
practicable schemes. In case the Irish
nationalist members at the meeting

A MAN OF ERyE.
A Half Dozen Men Can Not Iron
linn.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 29.-United States
Deputy Marshal j. Mcfarland, OF
Wala Walla, who brought Stone and
Hyde here, gives an interesting account
of stones gritty performance in jail at
Genesee, where he was placed under ar
rest by the city marshal, on telegraphic
order from Mcfarland.
The marshal, itseems, wanted to hand
cuff Stone. who resisted nm.
Tho marshal then called in four
or five citizens to assist him, as no
didi.not want to shoot the prisoner.
stone, however, backed into corner
ot tho cell and successfully resisted
by force all efforts to iron him, being a
tall, powerful man. 1t was only upon
the arrival of Mcfarland, who had ar
rested him before at Walia Wnlla, that
he succumbed and yielded to handouts.
The operations of Stone and Hyde IN
locating settlers on timber lands by
means of fraudulent oaths are believed
to have been very extensive throughout
the whole Pacific coast. Both men
have masqueraded under different
names and various disguises of person,
and are as cold blooded brace of
speculators as ever were brought to
Portland.

Postal Telegraphy,

The use of the telegraph by the post
office department as means for the
rapid transmission of written communi-
cations is, believe, upon proper terms,
quite desirable. The government does
not own or operate the railroads, and 1t
should not, i think, own or operate the
telegraph lines. IL does, however, seem
to be quite practicable for the govern
ment to contract with tho telegraph. as
1t does with the railroads, to carry at
specified rates such communications as
the sender may designate for this method
OF transmission. recommend that such
legislation oe enacted as Will enable the
postoffice department fairly to test, by
experiments, the advantages of such use
OF the telegraph.

THINKS PARNELL MAD.
No Sane Man wouid Issue So Dishon-
oruble q Document.

Gladstone and Morley both dispute
parnel's version of negotiations between
them in regard to home rule and other
matters concerning Ireland, and they
will at an early day repudiate his state
ments, sexton and Healy taking tho
opinion that each Irish member of par
liaiuent has advisabiIity OF organizing IL
movement for the alliance of anu-Par-
noliites with Gladstone.
In all interview to-day Henry La
bouchere, member OF parliament, and
editor of Truth, said II would be char
table to suppose Parnell mad. 1t is i'm
possible to suppose n sane man, with any
honor or partisunisn, would issue a
manifesto so dishonoring to himself and
so injurious to his country's cause.

LONDON, Nov. 80 The manifesto is
sued by Parnell will effect no change In
the position of his supporters and OPP
ponents among the Irish members OF
parliament, but will give the poll to be
taken at the meeting of nationalists
Monday final decisive cha racter. The
manifesto shifts the scene of conflict to
Ireland. After Monday county conven-
tions will be held in, Ireland to ascer-
tain the opinions of nationalists and the
clergy.
Gladstone issued reply to the Parnell
manifesto, in which he denies two state
ments made by the Irish leader regard
ing the retention of Irish members in the
imperial parliament, the settlement of
the land or agarian difficulty in Ireland,
The control of the Irish coustabulary
and the appointment Of a judiciary in
Ireland.
Gladstone says he will not apply sin
gle epithet to Parnell, he not being his
Judge. He believes, however, that h
showed, by his course in the matter of
the special commission appointed to in.
vestigate the charges made against Par
nell, growing out Of the Pigott letters,
he had no indisposition to do Parnell
justice. Gladstone then comes to the
recital Of the proposal alleged by Parnell
in his manifesto to have been made to
him during his visit to Gladstone at
Hawarden last November in regard to
the intended proposals with regard to
home rule In the even of the liberal
party winning at the next general cleo
tion. Gladstone declares that not O
single suggestion was offered by him to
Parnell, either as formal or final
one. The conversation they held was a
statement. perfectly free without prcju.
dice, of the points which Gladstone,
or such of his colleagues as he could con-
suit, were inclined to believe the home
rule plan of 1886 could be improved, and
which he was desirous to
know whether any serious objection had

of these suggestions did Parnell raise u
serious objection.
