r. LONDON, Nov. 29.-Gladstone has issued
a.reply 10 Parnell's manifesto, in which he
denies in toto the. statements made by the
Irish leader in regard to the retention of
Irish members in the Imperial Parliament
the settlement Of the land.or agFarian diff
Guilty in ireland, the contro, Of the Irish
constabuIary; 1.-THE appointment of the
judiciary in, Leland; Gladstone says he
will not applyra single epilhet to Parnell,
not being his: Judge. He believes. however,
-. that lie showed BY .fis course in the matter
OF thespeeiaf commission appointed to in
vestigate the charges made against Panell
in the throwing out Of the Pigott letters,
that he had no: disposition to do Parnell an
injustice. ~
"A. FLAT DENIAL.
Gladstone then comes to a recital of the
proposal alleged by Parrell in his manifesto
to have been made to him during his visit
to Gladstone at Hawarden, last November,
in respect to the intended proposals with re-
gard to home rule in the event of the Lib
eral party winning at the next general cleo
tion. Gladstone declared that not single
suggestion was offered by him to Parnel,
either as formal or as final one. The
conversation then held was a statement per-
feetly free, without prejudice, of the points
on which Gladstone or such OF his colleagues
rs hethought were inclined to believe the
home-rule plan of 1883 could be improved,
and. concerning which he was desirOus of
knowing whether any serious objection had
risen IN the mind of Parnell. To none Of
these suggestions did Parnel raise d serious
objection.
q. :. -- CONFIDENCE BETRAYED.
e: Gladstone denies that he made the state
:: ments which ParnelPs manifesto ascrbes
TO him, or anything substantially resembling
!. them. either as to the retention of Irish
members in the Imperial Parliament or the
=. settlement ef the land question or agrarian
=. difficulties or the control of the Irish con-
staBulary and the appointment of Irish ju-
q. dietary. The conversation between them
was strictly confidential. To publish even a
:: true account is 10 break the seal of conf
- dence; which alone renders political Co
operation possible Every suggestion made
e. TO ParBell was from written memoranda, to
:. which Gladstone can refer. Neither Parnell
=. nor himself was bound by the conversation
:. To tile absolute acceptance of the proposals
:eanyassed. During the year that has since
!: elapsed:he has never received from Parnell
3. any intimatiOn Of the alteration of his views
regarding any of them.
- OUGHT TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT
:: : In:conclusiOn Gladstone says lie always
=. held, both in public and private. that the
80. National party Of Ireland ought 10 remain
entirely Independent of the Liberal party of
= Great: Britain. 1t is their duty and his duty,
-; .contornfably with the spirit of Grattan and
= = OCQnhe3l,. to study all the adjustments in
the great matter Of home rule which may
-. lend. 10. da aw to their side moderate and
=" Equitable nen. But for him TO propose any
:: :IUeSsure, except such as Ireland could ap-
:; -pgeye0n lines already laid down, would be
: :. fatuis8 as regards himself and treachery to
!: = th+ Irish nation. in which. even by the side
of PARCEL, he can claim TO take an interest.
=. :: : =: *DAvITT INTERVIEWED.
- Michael Davitt was interviewed to-day
: refardiRg the political crisis. He said:
:. .TheFarneH manifesto is the last desperate
MO re. ] do:nOt see how Parnell could have
=. struck ireland. a worse blow. lie is furious
-, against a: majority Of his party and in his
:. R1nAck According to him number Of
:: members: Of his own party are false, and
:. ..GiaiStGDe and English Liberal wire-pullers
:: are schenling against him."
=: sgainst:t the: Hawarden proposals, said he
i, agreed. IN 1886 to the clauses Of the bill en-
. tirely excluding Irish repreSen tatiou, and
-: The retaining for the time Imperial control
-. OF the police ana Judiciary. The HaNarden
.. appeals. were as bad when they were madc
:: as: now. Why didn't he appeal before? ?
s.. >DaYitt says ParHell has shattered all hope of
lfonle rule for ireland for years simply for
personal ends and revenge, justas in 1882 he
shattered the Land League to get out Of
.@ki lmainhan Jail, and was prepared in 1886
10 smash his party and debauch the institu-
ti0us Of his country to thrust 0'Shea Oh the
Galway electors.
q T. 'PkRNELLs OPPONENTS CONFER.
Heaty and Sexton and a number of other
:opponents OF Parnell held conference to-
. day. .:Parnelis manifesto has stffened their
opposition AMI they have resolved to issue a
counter manifesto forthwith. This man
nesto will bear formidable list of sigma
lures. The fight between the two factions
will be fought to. the bitter end. Neither
side viii leave a stone upturned.
Justin Mccarthy has communicated with
his cOlleageS in America by cable and is
said to have influenced several wayerers
against Parnel. The defeat of Pafnell at
the Nationalist meeting Monday is now con-
sidered foregone conclusion. The state
- ment. that Parnell controls the Irish par
liamentary fund is not true. The fund is in
i: the hands Of McCarthy and James Francis
O'Brien..
-. 80. ."AcT OF SUICIDE"
-. The Star (Home Rule, commenting on
=. ParnelEs manifesto, says ii Is the final act
-: OF suicide. Its malignant tone and nnscru-
pulousness, the deadly mischief of its pur-
:: pose, and its frigid, calm style invest with
terrible force the spectacle of his death as
great public MANI There is much of hideous
:. leyity in the document in which Parnel
=: wipes his pen across the treaty giving Eug-
land peace and Ireland Home Rule. Hap
PLY Parnel is an isolated factor. The Irish
:: party has its billions, OBriens and Healys
:: -as well as its Parnell. Until these men meet
=. and decide upon the rupture of the relations
q: existing between the Nationalist and the
Liberals, ii is needless to talk of the dissoiu-
tlon OF ties which can never be dissolved by
. the act of one man.
= PARNELL GOING TO IRELAND.
-. The Pail Mall Gazette says ParDell in
=; tends To start for Ireland tonight to evade
the definite declaration by the Parnelllte
members OF the Commons on the question of
. the leadership when the vote is taken next
Monday. Parnell will treat with that por-
tion OF his followers who remain attached to
bin, as the real Irish party, and cut the de-
seTters off.
In an interview to-day, Henry Labouehere,
q: member OF Parliament and editor of Truth,
said it would be charitable TO suppose Par
nell mad. II is impossible to suppose that
a sane man with any sense OF honor or pat
= riotlsm would issue manifesto so dlShGn-
oripg to himself and SO Injurious TO his
cOuntry's cause.
SEXTON AND HEALY.
The manifesto will effect no change in the
position Of his supporters and opponents
among the Irish members OF Parliament,
but viii give the poll to be taken at the
meeting Oh the Nationalists Monday a final
and decisive character. The manifesto
shifts the scene Of the conflict to Ireland
After Monday country conventions will be
held In Ireland to ascertain the opinions Of
the Natonalists and OF the clergy
6exton and Healy are taking the opinion
