cIANcY's AMENDMENT BEsCISDED.
Before appointing the committee OF.
four the meeting unauimQu IS rescinded
Ciaucv's amendment. which was approved
yesterday. Although no formal division
was taken on the amendment yesterday,
Clancv's proposal was practically adopted
by q show of hands. IL Is surmised that
the action Of the meeting in resembling the
amendment was taken at the request II
Mr Gladstone in order 90 permit OF trcer
basis for negotiations. Gladstone declined
20 accept Parnelfs suggestion that ne
summon Morley and HarcOurt to receive
with him Joint delegations Of the two sec
tons OF the irish party. He insisted that
if he received them the arrangements
should be at his own discretion.

GLADSTONE N 80 WAY PLEDGED HIMSELF.
TO this Mr.. Gladstone consented.
MIR Gladstone at the meeting OF he Irish
delegates in no way pledged himself nor
did he use language purpOrtlng that he was
able himself 20 define the course that the
Liberal party would adopt. Mr.. Gladstone
gave the Irish delegation cordial recep-
ton. He acted throughout with the full
approval of his colleagues. he discussed
all the propositions of the Liberals. the
present political situation. and the proba-
ble effect of Parnells retention of the Irish
leadership on the Liberal party. Arnold
Morley was also present OF the conference,
and when il was over he remained IN con-
sultation with blr. Gladstone. Subse-
quently he told the reporters that Mr..
Gladstone did not intend 10 publish any
thing regarding the meeting. The dele
gates were also reluctant TO give the par
ticuars of the interview, which they re-
garded as strictly confidential. II IS
doubtful whether Parnen will consider
that Gladstoue's reception of the delegates
without the presence of Morley and Har-
court fulfls the conditions of the arrange
ment.

The resolution relating 10 Parneu
which was adopted by the Catholic HER

Catholic churches and chapels in Ireland.
Healy and Sexton, the anti-Parnell MEM
bcrs Of the delegation, are satisfied with
the result Of the interview with Gladstone.
The Liberal leader gave no definite promise
regarding the points submitted. but he
said sufficient. in their opinion, to justify
the majority Of the Irish party IN cOnsld-
