Ralfour,s Selection as Lead er.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE selection of
Mr.. Balfour as Parliamentary leader is
generally hailed with satisfac ton by the
Conservatives, especially those who be-
lieve in an aggressive policy, which Mr..
Balfour eminently represents. Mr..
Goschen himself is strongly pleased with
Balfour's promotion, as Goschen was
very reluctant to undertake the task
when it was suggested to him. Balfour
is described as the only government
speaker who has successfully met every
attempt of the Liberals to entrap or in
volve him, and the Liberals are not at
all pleased that he has been named.

o,BRIEN's STATEMENT.
He Refutes Certain Charges .Parn ellis
Letter to Him.


LONDON, Oct. 16-Hon. William
O'Brien's statement, refuting the charges
made by some of Parnells followers,
that he and Dillon had bounded the
Irish leader to DEATH states that the I'M
alterable basis of all communicat ton with
Mr.. Parnell at Boulogne was, first and
list, his retirement from the leadership.
Mr.. O'Brien states that he and his
colleagues kept three objects in view:
First, that it was impossible that Mr..
Parnell continue as chairman of the
Parliamentary party Committees; sec
ondly, to soften the memory of Mr.. Par
nell's fault by every possible palliative
and evidence of good will that his de-
voted colleagues could suggest; thirdly,
to avert the calamity which they keenly
felt to be irreparable from any disrup-
ton of the forces.
eve are fully persuaded" says tn g
statement, chat these objects have been
covered. Had the terms we suggested
been Loyalty accepted, the party would
have been reunited under the leadershi p
of Mr.. Mccarthy, leaving Mr.. Parne l
an honorable place in Irish public life. :"
In addition a letter is published in
which Mr.. ParnelI 8 feelings in regard to
O'Brien's treatment of him are set
forth. Parnell wrote that he appre-

surrounded O'Brien during the negotia-
tions, the constant daily anxiety which
would have been overwhelming to any
body possessed of less courage and de-
votion. He hoped and believed that the
prospects of Ireland were not so dark as
O'Brien feared, and that after a little
time, having passed through clouds of
darkness, they should again stand on
their former footing, when in happier
days they were comrades in arms in be-
half of United Ireland.
