LONDON. Nov. 2G,-The tory morning
papers are jubiiant over the di-
lemma in which the Irish party is placed
by Mr.. Gladstone's throwing over of Mr.
Parnell. They publish column after
column of comment upon the situation
which they declare will certainly involve
hopeless rupture Of the Liberal and
Nationalist Alliance Many liberals are
beginning to suspect that the true in
wardness of the stubborn attitude main
tanned by the Parnelhtes is that they de-
sire to delay the advent of Home Rule
for selfish purpose. It is limited that
their salaries are more of an object to
them than the speedy success of the cause
which they profess to have at heart
This being the case, it is charged, they
played upon Mr. Parnell's very natural
dislike of ''retreating under fre," and in
duced him to retain the leadership,
knowing that such action would indef-
nitely prolong the preliminary struggle.
The Irish societies Of Liverpool and the
north OF England have held meetings at
which the Parnell problem was discussed,
but the results have been indecislve,
opinion being about evenly divided as to
whether Mr.. Parnell should be advised
TO retire or not.
LONDON, Nov. 26-Mr. Parnell last
night declined to convene a meeting Of
the members of the Irish party for to-
day. This action Was taken notwith-
standing the fact that the request to him
to call q meeting bore the signatures Of
thirty three members, or sixteen more
than the rules Of the party require. This
morning several Of the Parneilite mem
bers of the House OF Commons loudly
complained that when they voted to re-
| lect Mr.. Parnell to the chairmanship
of the Irish Parliamentary party, they
were uuinformed of all the facts bearing
| n the situation.
| DUBLIN, Nov. 26.-The Freeman s
Journal in commenting upon Mr.. Glad
stones letter to Mr. Morley with regard
to Mr.. Parnell and the leadership of the
Irish party says: Mr.. Glads' ones letter
assumes that the Irish party IS but 8
portion Of the Liberal party, and that
the latter is therefore qualified to depose
or veto the Irish leader. It must never
be forgotten, says the Journal, that Mr.
| Gladstone came to Mr.. Parnel!, not Mr.
| Parnell to Mr.. Gladstone. 1t had takel
many years Of independent opposition
on the part Of Mr.. Parnell and the Par
nelites to convert Mr.. Gladstone and hi
party to home rule Now, asks th'
Journal, can the Liberals return t.
power or retain it when secured, withou
the Irish vote. If Mr.. Parnel
remained at the lead of loys
|, and homogeneous party, number
ing 85 representatives in Parlis
ment, be could compel Mr.. Gladstone o
any other leader Of the Liberals to sui
nit to the wishes Of the Irish Leaders
) LONDON, Nov. 26.-The Parliament
, airy members of the Irish party recon
, vened for further conference at o'cloc
), this evening. Without the trans
) action of important business,
was decided to adjourn until Monday
It has transpired that during the NEE
ing a strong feeling in favor OF the r
tirement of Mr.. Parnell from the leade
ship of the party was developed.
! was, however, vigorously opposed
:. the minority.
LONDON, Nov. 26.-In the House
Commons last night, after the speech
of several members in reply to II
Queens speech, the address was agre'
TO. This is the first time in fifteen yea
that such thing has occurred on t
day of the opening of parliament.
