LONDON, Nov. 6.--The authorized ex-
planation to Gladstonian papers anent tie
liberal leaders share in the BouloQne neRo-
tintions will only serve to confirm the sus-
picion that Gladstone's old parliamentary
hand has been once more working in dark
ness in trying to win the adhesion Of a
solid Irish party, while trying to keep the
terms of the bargain secret. OBrien's
statements are declared by liberal leaders
to be absurd misrepresentations. Il IL alb
solutely denied that the liberal leaders gave
Mccarthy or any other negotiator any as-
surance as basis for q secret covenant.
These official denials, however, are so
wrapt up in bubbles as to be deprived of
the force inherent in direct and
honest contradiction. Other disclosures
show that Gladstone and Nor
ley had secret communications with
O'Brien. Dillon and MCCARTHY during the
Boulogne negotiations. OBrien holds
some of these communications, which Har-
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 COM
munications, and it is expected that they
will come to light as soon as her recovery
enables her to take part in the defense of
Parnsll and strike his enemies. The ex-
igencies of tho position are keenlv 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. The unionists
revel in the personal criticisms of leaders
on each side in the Cork election contest.
Tim Healy has to face worse encounter
Harrison, M. p. for Tipperary, warned
Healy if he repeated the insulting illusions
to Mrs. Parnsll he would take the law into
in repeating the references to Mrs. Parnell,
added that he would not mince words be-
cause she had found protection in Harri-
son. Harrison, who is of athletic build,
will. .bidn his time to get at Healy, who is
constantly protected by the police.
The conservative press announced that
labor candidates in municipal elections
everywhere were defeated. An analysis of
the returns, on the contrary, shows that Ia
bor men carried thirty seats in England.
General results favor the radicals. Tho
election WAS fought on party lines chiefly,
and forecast triumph for Gladstonians in
the coming parliamentary election.
The foreign Office awaits response from
Pekin to the ultimatum demanding the
adoption of measures to punish the leaders
in recent outrages. Sir John Watsman.
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 Shanghai and the other treaty
ports on the Yang Use KisnR, and the
powers will take control of the customs
port until the matter in dispute is arranged.
The British admiral, now at Uagazki, two
days steaming distance from Shanghai,
has been warned to hold the squadron in
readiness.
ST. James palace has been reftted as a
residence of the duke of Clarence and
Avondale, at the expense of the treasury.
The cost greatly exceeds the estimates and
will cause a row in parliament. The earl of
Dufferin's appointment as, warden of
Cinqueport is viewed az bribe to cause
him tosadhere to the conservatives.
