LONDON, Nov. 6.-The authorized ex-
PLANTATION sent to the Gladstonian
papers anent the Liberal leaders share in
the Boulogne negotiations will only serve
to confirm the suspicion that Gladstone's
old parliamentary hand has been once
more working in darkness in trying to
win the adhesion of the solid Irish party,
while keeping the terms Of the bargain
secret. O'Brien's statements are de-
clared by the Liberal leaders to be absurd
misconceptions. 1t is absolutely denied
that the Liberal leaders gave Mccarthy
or any other neRotiator any assurance as a
basis for a secret covenant.
These official d~enials. however, are so
wrapped up in bubbles as to be deprived
of the force inherent in a direct and hon
est contradiction. Other disclosures show
that Gladstone and Merely had secret
communications with O'Brien, Dillon and
Mccarthy during the Boulogne negotia-
tons. O'Brien holds some of these COM
munications. which Harrington and Red
mond 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 others of
these communications and it is expected
they will come to light as soon as her re
covery enables her to take part In defense
of Parnell and strike his enemies. The
~exigencies of their position is keenly felt
by Liberals and confirms the general
party demand that Gladstone shall, at an
early opportunity, make a clear statement
of his revised home iule scheme. The
Unionists revel in personal criticisms OF
the leaders on each side in the Cork
election contest.
Tim Healy will have to face a worse en-
counter than the one with McDermott.
Henry Harrison, NJ. p. for Tipperary,
warned Healy that if he repeated the in
sulting illusions to Mrs. Parnell he would
take the law into his own hands and
punish Healy. Healy, in repeating his
references to Mrs. Parnell. added that he
would not mince words because she had
found protection in Harrison. Harrison,
who Is OF athletic build, will bide his time
protected by the police.
The Conservative press has announced
that the labor candidates in the municipal
elections were everywhere defeated. 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 fore
casts u triumph for the Gladstonians in
the coming parliamentary elections.
The foreign Office awaits a response
from Pekin to the ultimatum demanding
the adoption of measures to punish the
leaders in the recent outrages. Sir John
Walsman, British minister to China,
has been directed TO give the Chi
nese government until the end of
the month to reply, when, failing to make
satisfaction. a combined foreign fleet will
seize Shanghai and other treaty ports on
the Yangste Kiang and these powers will
also take control of the customs of each
port until the matter IN dispute is ar.
ranged. The British admiral, now a,
Uagazki. in " days steamiug distance
from Shanghai, has been warned to hold
his squadron in readiness. st. james
