LONDON. April 10.-The government,
having succeeded in rushing the Irish
land bill through the first stages while
the Irish party were fighting on the
question of leadership, shows a deter
mination to follow similar policy with
the bill in committee. Mr.. Bal
tours action in using the weapon
of closure to abridge debate On the
first clause is as tyranous an applica-
ton of force majeure" as the present
government has given in dealing with
parliament. The want of unity among
Liberals Oh several important points of
the bill. and the diversity of opinion
amongst the Irish members add might
lily to the governments power to crush
attempts at destructive criticism of the
details of the measure. If clos
ure be literally applied, as Mr.. Bal
tours actions indicates it will. the Con-
sentative boast that the business of the
session will be completed at the end of
June will be realized. Mr.. Gladstone
held a conference to-day with several
McCarthyites on line of opposition
and the result of the meeting promises
to restore concerted action among the
opposition, instead of every man fight
ing on
individual Responsibility.
summed UP, the Liberal amendment.
upon which the struggle will proceed
for several weeks to come, include op
position to the use of local funds as
guarantees for loans, objection to the
tenants insurance fund, to the pro-
%hn
deficiency on the county rates
and to the exclusion of grazing farms,
from the operation of the measure.
None of these amendments are accepta-
bic to the government, anG after much
talk each will be defeated in turn. The
Irish landlords convention sent a
strong committee to keep the ministers
firm to landlord interests until the bill
reaches the haven Of the house of lords.
The persistent assertions OF the Par
nelliteS that the bishops never declared
against ParneIl until Gladstone's letter
was published have led to the produc-
ton of note from Archbishop Logue
to the administrator of the Armagh do
cese, dated four days prior to Glad
stones action, i'll which the archbishop
says: Il am Mortified TO see resolu-
lions in support of Mr.. Parnell supported
by priests. l took it for granted that
priests would not appear on the plat
form. 1t is bad enough for lay Catholics
to c0ndOne such raScality. but in priests
the bound guardians of morality, it Is
intolerable." The late appearance OF
this declaration is explained as due to
the fact that the administrator himself
took part in the Parnell meeting which
the archbishop denounced. The canard
involving
Miss O'Siaea and Parnen
has ceased to be heard. Mr.. Parnell
comes to the House of Commons direct
from Brighton. Capt. O'Shea con-
tinues to reside at the East End of
Brighton. Mrs. O'Shea is still at the
West End. which is known to people
as''Fire Escape Terrace" She drives
out with Mr. Parnell in a hooded
American buggy. There is no sign
that the queens proctor will interfere
to prevent the Shea divorce from be-
coming absolute.
Mr.. Gladstone having been privately
asked for statement in reply to Mr..
Parnells charge that Mr. Gladstone
gave an interview to American dyna-
miters at Hawarden, says that his de-
NAL alone ought to suffice. ConServa-
tive papers have eXhumed correspond
ence of 1856 in which Mr.. Gladstone
tells Mr.. Balfour that he has authentic
information not from Mr.. Parnell,
to the effect that some power behind
Mr.. Parnell would resort to vlo-
lence or outrage unless home rule was
granted. Conservatives connect this
information with Mr.. Gladstone's secret
knowledge that certain American eX-
tremists, who could not be either Mr..
Atkinson or DR.. O'Reilly, were visiting
England IN 1889. Cable dispatches,
however, enlightening the public as to
the high character of both Mr.. AtkIn-
soil and Dl. O'Reilly, sufficed to defeat
the Conservatives in their efforts to
