GLADSTONE'S OLD HAND.
MooTED SECRETS OF THE BoU-
LOGNE NEGOTIATIONS.
The Liberal Leaders Covert Attempt to
Win the Adhesion of the Solid Irish
Party-Parnell's Widow Liable to
Make Things Lively-London Gable.

LONDON, Nov. 6-[Copyrighted by the
New York Associated Press. The
authorized explanation sent to the
Gladstonian papers anent the Liberal
leaders share in the Boulogne negotia-
tions, will only serve to confirm the sus-
picion that Gladstone's old parliament-
ary hand has been once more working
in darkness, trying to win the adhesion
of the solid Irish party while keeping
the terms of the bargain secret.
O'Brien's statements are declared by the
Liberal leaders to be absurd misrepre-
sentations. It is absolutely denied
that the liberal leaders gave Mccarthy
Isor any other negotiator any. assurance
1 20 Basis for secret covenant. These
official denials, however, are SO wrapt
up in quibbles as to be deprived of the
force inherent in direct and honest con-
tradiction. Other disclosures show that
Gladstone and Morley had secret COM
munications with O'Brien, Dillon and
Mccarthy during the Boulogne negotia-
tions. O'Brien holds some of these
communications, which Harrington and
Redmond challenge him to publish.
1t is not probable, however, that
O'Brien will disclose them as long
as the alliance with the liberals exists.
The widow OF Parnell has other of these
communications, and 1T is expected
they will come to light as soon as her
recovery enables her to take part in de-
tense OF Parnell and strike his enemies.
The exigencies of the position are keenly
felt by the Liberals, and confirm the
general party demand that Gladstone
shall, at the earliest opportunity, make
clear statement of his revised home
rule scheme.
TIM HEALY AGAIN IN TROUBLE.
The Unionists revel in personal criti-
cisms of the leaders on each side in the
Cork election contest. Tim Healy has
got to face worse encounter than the
one with Mr.. McDermott. Henry Har-
rison, member of parliament for Tip
perary, warned Healy that ii he re-
peated his insulting illusions to Mrs.
Parnell, he would take the law into his
own hands and punish Healy. Healy,
in repeating his reference to Mrs. Par
nell, added that he would not mince
words because she had found protection
in Harrison. Harrison, who is of ath-
letic build, ,will bide his time to get at
Healy, who is now constantly protected
by the police.
The Conservative press announced
that the labor candidates in the mu-
nicipal elections were everywhere de-
feated. An analysis OF the returns, on
the contrary, shows that the labor men
carried thirty seats in England. The
| general results favor the radicals. The
election was fought on party lines,
chiefly, and forecasts triumph for the
Gladstonians in the coming parliamen-
tary elections.
/ CHINA's LAST CHANCE.
The foreign Office awaits a response
from Pekin to the ultimatum regarding
the adoption of measures to punish the
leaders in the recent outrages. Sir Johr
| Walsman, British minister to China
has been directed to give the Chinese
government until the end of the month
to reply, when, failing satisfaction, the
combined foreign feet will seize Shang'
hal and other treaty ports on the
Yangtse Kiang, and the powers will
take control OF the customs of each port
until the matter in dispute is arranged
The British admiral, now at Uagazki
two days steaming distance from Shang
hal, has been warned to hold his squad
ron in readiness.
ROYAL FAvORS.
| st. James palace has been refitted a
a residence for the duke of Clarence ant
Avondale, at the expense of the treas
ury. Tie cost will greatly exceed the
estimate, and will cause a row in par
lament.
The earl of Dufferin's appointment a
warden of the cinque ports is viewed a
bribe to cause him to adhere to tn
conservatives.
The Times, the Standard, and th'
unionist papers generally, consider tn
selection OF Mr.. jackson for the Irisl
chief secretaryship the best that coul'
have been made.
A Suit fits well and proves Fine Tai
oring when selected from, the large Ne'
