LONDON, Nov. 2l.-Political INTEREST here
centres about Parnell, the storm becoming
more violent daily. II was first thought
that the decision would rest with the
Irish. but it is now seen that the real
question is, What will the English
Liberals dor The Tories are silent, but
storm is raging in the Liberal ranks.
The non-cOnformsts simply want to
have Parnell. and are the backbone Of the
party. The Liberals and the leaders Of the
Liberals must decide for or against Par
nell. The dilemma is most serious. Glad
stone cannot keep silent much longer. If
he accepts Parnell as colleague, rs be-
fore, the nOn-cOnfOrmists will oppose
it.. If he advises Parnei 10 re-
tire he must 20. There is the highest
authority for saying that Gladstone's ad-
vice Will be given in very few days. If he
has not already privately given it to Parnell.
If the latter then refuses to retire, 1t is
generally admitted that home rule will be
put back decade.
STEAD THREATENS A FUsILADE.
MIR. Stead, the editor Of the Review Of
Reviews, called TO day at the London office
of the FTeeman's journal. His object was.
with the national mOdesty that distinguishes
him, 10 present an ultimatum to Mr..
Parneil, TO whom he wished 10 have it con-
veyed that unless Mr.. Parnell intimated
within twenty hours to Mr.. Stead that ne
a . fl..I Irf-
be, Mr.. Stead, would proceed to open the
batteries of the social purity movement on
him. 1t is not the Otlense against morals that
excited Mr.. Stead's wrath, who says IN his
ultimatum: 81 am prepared 10 allow, II you |
like, that committing adultery IS no worse !
than taking glass of whisky Nhat Mr.. |
Stead does allege to be the cause OF
his wrath is that Mr.. Parnell has deceived |
his friends. Mr.. Stead SAYS that he pro- !
poses to publish the verbatim report of the |
proceedings before the divorce court, to
which he will prefix a mild criticism and
commentary. This pamphlet he proposes
to sell at one penny each. and thus this /
moral crusade, as all other moral cam
paigns of Mr.. Stead, will have a practical |
side.
THE FEELING STILL GROWING.
LONDON, Nov. 21.-The feeling among the
English Liberals on the subject of the OShea |
revelations continues TO grow. Mr.. Is. KICK !
ard, Vi. T., one of the most influential |
among the workngmen's representatives In |
Parliament. is quoted as speaking very |
strongly against the continuance OF Mr.. |
Parnell as Liberal leader. Mr.. Rckard |
said the Liberal party represents the work |
ing people, and the sO-called middle classes,
among whom the purity of home life Is held |
i'm high esteem. We have neither the time
nor the inclination for debauchery, and we
want our leaders TO be men that we can
take by the hand. When Joseph Biggar |
died leaving a good deal of property to an
ilegitmate son and the sons mother we
were a good deal surprised and shocked.
but this case is far worse. How can we
condemn the aristOcrary for their licen-
tiOusness if our leaders are not men at least
decent in their domestic behavior
Mr. Long, NJ. T.. says half of Mr.. Glad
stones uneXampled influence with the
British masses springs from his exemplary
domestic life. | think Mr.. Parnell should
retire until things blow over. The non-
cOnfOrmist clergy who exercise a vast in
Auence among the bulk Of the English Lib
erals being non-conformists, are quoted by
the provincial papers as calling for a
change in the Irish leadership.

LANGTRY vs.. BUCHANAN.
The point on which Mrs. Langtry lost her
suit with Mr.. Buchanan was the clear
