Special 70 THE MORNING CALL

LONDON, Jan. 24.-PaTliament has met
under conditions highly favorable to Sails
bury's Government. The Irishmen have not
Tet settled their disputes. Parneil is still
ihe leading factor and "bete noir" of the
Gladstonian section. He seems to be much
more to the font than he has been fJr sew
frai sessions. He sued his whip to the
whole Irish party ThuredIy and took his
old seat between Sexton and Mccarthy just
RS though nothing had happened to disturb
his leadership, and before the business ID
proceeded many minutes gave notice of his
intention to demand an inquiry into the ad-
ministratiOn of the Grimes Act, although
Mccarthy and Morley before Christmas
both gave notice of their intention to raise
discussion on that subject 1t is an un-
wri.ttn code of the Commons that no men,
Der shall take up topic already in the
= hands Of another member. Thus Parnell
has foued beth sections of the opposition.
The details Of The Kilkenny election have
given rise to a disposition in the Commons
ministers Of religion from acting in any
capacity a polling booths
TIE LAND-PURCHAsE SCHEME.
There seems 10 be every likelihood that
the Government will carry the land-purchase
scheme without much OPT iti0n. Parnell
has already proclaimed his adhesion thereto
subject TO ameadm mt, and has roundly
abused the Radicals for opposing it. The
anti-Parnellites may Joiu the Radical wing
liz changing the measure, bit they cannot
well afford to do so, seeing that Parnell has
declared the project TO be boon to Ireland
and that the ministerial m jority will Ger
tainly carry it through. The r ,dical view
Is based upon more than mere desir. to
oppose the Government They object TO
giving sos, 100000 sterling 10 Irish landlords
out Of the pockets of the British taxpayers.
They point out hat the S ate ought at Ieas.
to have retained tie fee-simple ownership;
bat it is argued that there is State owner
shpin India, and that under this bill the
State VIII stand IN the position of owner for
al least foTtT-fiye years.
UNIoNIsT VIEWS.
The Marquis of Har ington in reply 10 in
qGiries concerning the contradiction be-
tween the views Of Joseph chamberlain.
Lor3 Derby and other Unionists, VINO de-
clare home rule is d ad, to-day wrote as
follows: Tue contr d,ctiol is II ore ap-
parent than real Home rule may he dead
as practical policy and as far as it ever
possesses any chance OF tie country accept
ing il in a definite form, but political neces-
silly 10 specially retain the Irish National
ISIS support may compel GadstOne's follow
eTS for long time TO include 1t in their
policy"
Lord Derby writes, My speech was in
tended tG warn the UniOnistS against being
undulY sanguine."
Mccarthy, no returned from the Bou-
lcgue conference to-day, said that every
thing Was harmonious aud he had great
hopes Of a speedy and amicable settlement
TO REPLACE THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
DUBLIN. Jan. 24 The Irish Catholic
SAYS the formation Of new national organ
iZaton to replace the discredited National
League IS nearly concluded.
Archbishop Walsh has written a letter to
the FTeeman's Journal in reply to state
ments made by that paper in connection
with the Archbishop. The Archbishop ssys
1t Is not question whether English or Irish
opinion Is to decide the leadership, but the
question is as to whether Parnell Is morally
1t to lead the Catholics. To this the journal
retorts by remarking that Parnell's business
with Ireland is only political.
The lnsuppressible, newspaper started
in this city as a rival of United Ireland,

THE BoULoGNE CONFERENCE.
NEW YORK, Jan. ga Worlds Bou-
lOgue-suT-Mer special says: The rival Irish
factions have been talking at the Hotel du
Louvre for two days, but tonight they are
apparently no nearer settlement Of the
tiresOme dispute than before. Mccarthy
and sexton are fresh from Hawarien
whittier they went to get assurance
for Parnel's demands as. the price of
his retirement Ii Gladstone had refused
these assurances there would have been an
end TO the negotiations at once. Their con-
tnuance shows that some basis of settle
ment is under discussion. The first thing
Mccarthy did on seeing O'Brien and Dillon
was 10 telegraph TO the Baniry faction at
Dublin to stop al agitation against Parnel
until the BoulOgHe meeting was over. This
also indicates the issue OF tile conferencetO
bt hopeful, as otherwise Mccarthy would
not UbsIruct any Parnell campaign.
4 SETTLEMENT PROBABLE.
The Worlds London correspondent
talked with ParDcll to-day before lie de-
parted for Ireland, and asked him whether
be- had any tidings from Boulogne. 81 have
not" he replied, but | have telegraphed
and expect an answer on my arrival in
Dublin"
DO you believe the difficulty will be set
tled?'
Il can't say" said Parnell, "because 1
have no knowledge of the views with which
Messrs. Mccarthy and Sexton went to Bou-
logne. My position is quite clear. | don't
See why there should be any difficulty"
The prOlongation Of the conference looks
MS II AL agreement IS possible.
PABNELL WILL RETIRE.
PARIS, Jan. 24-The Steele announces
that William O'Brien has received home
rule guarantees on the part of Gladstone
anu Colleagues sufficient to satisfy Parnel's
conditions upon which he consents to re-
tire.
