All the Irish members at present in

One of the members read the manifesto
issued yesterday by the Catholic hier-
archy in Ireland declaring that, in con-
sequence of the revelations of the

Mr.. Parnell of one of the gravest

would lmperil the cause of Ireland. The
reading of the manifesto was greeted
with cheering by Mr.. ParnelFs oppo-
nents. Mr.. Clancy then offered his
amendment, which provided that, in
view or the difference of opinion be-
tween Mr.. Gladstone and MIR. Parnell as

The Main Question,
information on the departure from the
bill of 1856, made by Mr.. Gladstone in
his suggestions affecting the control of
the Irish constabulary, and the settle
ment OF the land question. A prolonged
debate took place on the amendment.
MIR: Parnell intimated that if the party
took the responsibility off his shoulders
and would insist upon the Liberal lead
erS promising TO carry an acceptable
home rule bill through the house of com
mons III the face of all opposition, he
would retire from the leadership. He
asked the meeting to accept Mr..
Clancy's resolution, whereupon, he
said, the alliance between the National
lists and Liberals would be renewed.
Mr.. Heaiy refused to submit to Mr. Par
nelPS StipulationS. He decaIed that
they were even beyond the lines of the
compromise suggestion at yesterdays
meeting. MIR. Sexton declared that the
majority of the members were firmly
determined to adhere to the nam queS-
ton. and would simply insist that Mr.
Parnel must resign. After remaining
Ill session until 5:45 O'Clock the meeting
adjourned. 1t will reaSsemble at noon
tO-mGrrnW.
The committee held meeting and de-
clded to IntruSt MeSSrS. Healy, Red
mond. Sexton and Leamy with the con-
duct Of the negotiations with MIR. Glad
stone. 1t is reported that at a meeting
with his adherentS last night MIR. Par
nell promised to abide by the decision
of the majority of the Irish members
on the value of Mr.. Gladstone's asSur-
ances. The supporters of ParneH are
confident that MIR. GladStone'S asSur-
aneeS will prove inadequate, and that
they will not be accepted by majority
of tire Nationalist.
At the opening of the Nationalist
meeting. Mr.. ParnelI acceded to Mr..
Sections request to avoid contention by
not reading kilograms addressed to
either party. Mi. Sexton denied that
he had ever proposed that Mr. Parnell
retire from public life, and said that he
only meant that he should retire from
the Craftsmanship of the Irish party.
Mr.. Parnell then proceeded to deal with
the Clancy proposal. lie commenced
by announcing that after consulting
with his friends. he had decided that
he could not bind himself to retire until
he could see Mr.. GladStone'S reply. He
declared that his position had BEEN
granted him not merely as leader of a
party, but as leader of nation. This
had been derived from train of cir
cumstances, in which. speaking with the
greatest respect, his hearers had no
share. After speaking of his services
in assimIlating and soothing the preiil-
dices of the disc0rdant elements of the
Irish race throughout the world, Mr..
Parnell continued:
"4ou know and [ know there is no
man living. if am gone. who could snc-
ceed in rernnci|inG the feelings of the
Irish people to the Hawar(len proposals.
AS you wish tn Withdraw from me this
responsibility think it only reasonable
that you should give Judgment on those
matters for the benefit of your c0nstit-
uents. Therefore, [ submit this resolu-
ton: That the party accept no home
rule pl!! unless It gives immediate con-
troll OF the police and power to deal with
land. My word has been grievousIy
challenged with regard to the accuracy
of my account of the Hawarden inter |
view; bat no attempt has been made to |
prove lnarcuracy. 1t is for you to act !
in this matter. You are dealing with a |
man who is an unrivaled sophist.''
Mr.. Barry-Which one?
Mr.. ParnelI-You are dealing with a !
man from whom it is impossible TO ret /
direct answer. AS for me, it is i'm |
possible for me to give an indirect an
swer. Mr.. Gladstone is capable of work |
ing to secure q majority at the elections /
which will render him independent of |
both the Irish and Conservative parties. I
1t you threw Inc to him, get my value |
by securing pledge of a satisfactory |
home rule bill"
Mr. ParneH reminded his hearers that |
although the bill OF 1886 was Inadequate. |
he had consulted Sexton, Davitt and |
other leaders before accepting it. He |
declared it atrOcl0uSly unfair to use |
against him his general acQuiescenee in |
the details of that b II. He admitted I

in that neutrality-suspicious. to do wrong /

me down he strikes down the ONLY man |
that e0nld make that measure accepta-
BILE to Ireland. Was | to keep the
Hawarden seal upon my mouth when
Gladstone himself put it out of my
power to longer remain silent"
In conclusion the speaker made Gym
zeal references to what he termed Mr..
Gladstoneis ambiguity" He said:
Il have had many dealings with him.
but never got straight answer"
He added that he WIS quite willing TO
resign TO them the task of negotiation
but wanted them fully to understand
their responsibility. If his resolution
was accented, and the liberal replies
were satisfactory. he would place him
self in their hands.
