Parnell and himself. He said he was willing to
discuss matters having definite bearing on the
situation apart from any retrospection, but de-
sired that no reference be made. directly or in
directly, to the question OF Mr.. ParncTs
leadership. He informed the deputation Of the
decision OF Sir Vim. Vernon Harcourt and Mr.
Morley not to take part in the conference and
suggested that their names be omitted from the
resolution. In conclusion Mr.. Gladstone said
that if the Irish party agreed to these sugges-
lions be was willing TO enter further into the
subject
Mr. Arnold Morley was present a; the confer
enee and when IL was over he remained in con-
sultation with Mr.. Gladstone. Subsequently
he told the reporters that MIR. Gladstone did
not intend 20 publish anything regarding the
meeting. The delegates were aiso reluctant to
give the particulars of the interview which
they regarded as strictly confidential.
Messrs. Hesly and Sexton. the anti-ParneIl
members OF the delegation, were satisfied with
the result of the interview.

ACQUISITION OF LEADERSHIP.
The London Telegraph understands that Mr..
Gladstone, in intimating through the party
whips that q second interview with the Irish
deputation was unnecessary, conveyed also the
opinion that the question at issue was not one
affecting the conditions under which home rule
might be granted TO Ireland, but related rather
to the retention Of Parnel in the leadership of
the nationalist party or his dismissal therefrom
The opponents of Mr.. Parncll are much dis
couraged at this turn Of events, which leayss
them more completely than ever in Mr. Par.
nelfs hands. Under any circumstances"
says the telegraph, MIR. Parnell will 20 70 Ire
land in blaze of glory. IL he remains at the
head o: the nationalist party be will be stronger
than ever, because OF the proofs he has given
of his personal power. III he resigns he win
still lead the party, by virtue OF his political
genius and the fact that he controls the money
