Westminster. February IA,

The business at Boulogne in which Mr.. Parnell
Mr.. William OBrien and Mr.. Dillon have been
long engaged, with occasional visits from Mr..
Sexton and Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, has suddenly
collapsed. Only a week ago it was announced
with something more than customary defniteness
that the Irish Members had found a happy issue
out Of all their Affections and that terms had
been agreed upon whereby unity would be re-
stored. 1t was known that contemporaneously
with the contradictions at Boulogne communica.

leaders and the McCarthyite section. Mr.. Glad.
stone has from the first resolutely declined to
hold any parley with Mr.. Parnell. His last
word on the position Of that gentleman was
spoken in his famous letter TO John Morley, de-
claring that notwithstanding the splendid ser.
vices rendered by Mr.. Parnell to his country; his
continuance at the present moment in the lead
ership would be productive of consequences disas-
trOus in the highest degree to the cause Of Ire
land" But while Mr.. Gladstone would have moth
ing TO do with the disgraced and dcposed leader,
his political relations with the Irish Home-Rule
party have continued to he carefully maintained,
and through Mr.. John Morley he has been in
constant communication with Mr.. Mccarthy, the
iiServtws resulting in the formulation of a definite
understanding upon the two critical points IN
volvcd in the IIome-Rule scheme, of the settle
ment Of the Land question and the control OF
the police. This has been accepted by the ma
ior;ty of the Irish Members. Upon it Mr.. Par.
neil has sheered of, taking far-fetched objection

question: and so all the fat was again IN the
fire. Mr.. Parnell Withdrew from the conference
and went once more on the warpath. Mr.. Will

This final rupture is regarded with a feeling
