LONDON. Jan. 3.-1he significant fea-
turc of the political situation this week is
that both political parties are discussing re-
organization. with home rule left out.
Joseph Chamberlain declares that the Lib
eral Unionists ought not 10 deeert their
Tory allies. but stand with them in opposi-
tion to what be calls English Nihilism,'
during the Debbry advanced radical ele-
ment which is gaining strength every day,
and which proposes 10 carry socialism into
national legislation.
CHAMBERLAIN ON THE SITUATION,
Chamberlain and other manufacturers
feel that advanced radicals who wish 10
upset the foundation Of English society can
no LONGER be safely cOmbltted by property
class divided between the Tories and the
Liberals. aud that those who have some
thing must unite i'm defense Of il. II re-

JUSTIN VI GARTH \ Dl0bl hbs
The information in dispatch Of New
Years night that Mr.. Parnell would prob
ably retire 10 make way, not for Mr.. O'Brien
but Parnellite member OF Parliament. was
founded on substantial information, aud
may be expected as the outcome OF the neIt
conference. Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, 10 is
stated. is sick Of the situation and longs for
his books and his writing desk. He Is en-
tirely out Of pl ace amid Irish brawls. lie
has been "A welcome guest for years IN the
best English society, and, although true
patriot. never swerying in his disposition TO
Ireland. his tasks are altogether foreign 10
the shocking scenes in which he mas lately
mingled.
TIMOTHY HEALY's AMBITION.
The man willing 10 take McCarthy's place
is Timothy llealy, the most aggressive MEM
bcr of the party, and one who has incurred
Parncll's hitterest hostility bv his reflection
ON Mrs. O'~hca. For this very reason
Hcaly cannot become leader, as the anti
Parncllites know that with llealy in com
mand Parnel would be incapable, and the
MAJORITY of them do not care 10 make him
any angrier than he is. II is equally well
understood thar Parncl wants and Is re-
solved that the future leader shall be man
with whom he can hold intimate personal
relations and who indeed viii be his ppllii-
cal mCuthpiece. such a man could hardly
be- selected from the ranks Of the sececdlng
majority.
O'BRIEN DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL.
O'Brien is most anxious TO patch up q
peace that will satisfy not only Parnell, but
also the English Liberals. lie does not wish
10 go TO Jail. and his wife is more anxious
about il than he is. II he makes term
Tuesday that all are willing 10 accept DE
will reioin Dillon. and they will protraci
the American campaign. carrying IL per
han. into other countries besides Amerlc D.,
in the hope that. general election ml.hi
soon Dee held, with a result tat would open
the iail doors TO Irish political prisoners.
