There is reason to believe that Mr.. Gladstone
has committed to paper an outline Of his homo
mia schome, which Is in the form OF mani.
fssto. and is to DO issued upon the eve Of the
ssneral election. In some respects the
Shame IL moro liberal to Ireland than that
which won the approval Of ParnelL and II will
undoubtedly be accepted BY all reasonable
Irisbmen. Mr.. Gladstone. who 10 In excellent
hsalth. will remain at Hawarden until tho nrst
veek In December. He will then proceed to
London to take part In the great conference on
land law reform. and immediately Aftarward
will start for Italy on six weeks' holiday.
The newspapers and politicians in England
have jumped to tho conclusion that John Rod
mopd has been actually chosen leader Of the
Psrnellite faction. This IL inaccurate. though
Il is quite likely that no will be selected. Tho
mistake has arisen through the misinterpre-
tatior OF O'Kelys recent speech at Cork. He
told the Cork people that By supporting Red
mond they would be supporting. In his opin-

patty champion to contest Cork. The tight In
Parnels old constituency will be bitter one.
The Irish patriotic leaders are immensely
amused at the rumored selection Of John Red
mond to succeed Parnell. the difference be-
tween the two men being regarded as about
equal to that separating the sparrow from the
eagle. People who are acquainted with the
characters OF Redmond and his colleagues
scout the idea that he will be able to maintain
discipline or keep his men together for any
length Of time.
No official announcement has yet been made
respecting the new Irish Secretary. but It. Is
pretty certain that the prize has been secured
by Mr. Jackson. The proposal to present Mr..
Baliour with testimonial by those who could
see no shortcomings In him as Irish Secretary
is making rapid Roadway. and Miss Balfour is
now joined in the project. The Unionists de-.
clare soen,ny that Bnlfour is the best Score
