GLADSTONE PERsUADEs HIM TO
ACCEPT THE POST.

Dillon Declares the Irish Party Salts
fed With the eSelection-The Modified
Home Rule Bill to Be Pushed by the
Gladstonians Backed by the Fun
Irish Vote.
(Copvriaht. 1892, by the N. Y. Associated PressA
LONDON, Aug. 5.-The series of confer
ences between the leaders of the Irish party
and MIR. Gladstone has definitely resulted In
such degree Of mutual confidence as
promises to expedite greatly the advent of
home rule In Ireland.
The acceptance by John Morley Of the
post Of chief secretary for Ireland was
point upon which the chiefs OF the McCar-
thyite faction laid considerable stress. Mr..
Morley himself was reluctant TO accept the
secretaryship, desiring some other post In
the cabinet which would impose upon him
less arduous duties, and only agreed to &C
cept it when 1t was represented to him by
Mr.. Gladstone that no other minister would
SO fully command the support of the Irish
members of parliament.
THE IRISH PARTY SATISFIED.
In an interview to-day with a representa-
tive Of the Associated Press John Dillon ex-
pE6ohoQ luo 5htlblhCtlOu OI tuo lTteu party AZ
the prospect of Mr.. Morley's holding the
post during the critical period Of the home
rule bill. Referring to the reports printed in
some of the English papers that certain
Irish members might take office under
Mr.. Morley Mr.. Dillon said that such a
thing was next TO impossible. No member
of the party, he declared, would dare TO ao-
cept place under any English government.
1--WE are pledged, )" he added, ITO accept no
post except under a purely Irish admins
tration when we get it, and any man vio-
lating that rule would be expelled from the
party. You do not hear Of any one aiming
at place under the Gladstone governments.
The English papers are entirely wron in
regard co the matter"
When asked IL he could communicate
what notifications Mr.. Gladstone had
made in his home rule bill, Mr.. Dillon re-
piled that he was not at liberty TO say any
thing except that the bill was likely to be
one that Mr.. Parnell would have accepted,
adding, I'VE will not take anything less
MIR. Gladstone knows thai our position in
the matter 10 definite and inhexible. He
has pledged himself to place home rule In
front of all other measures and to
believe we can rely upon bis
intention to,do so. Regarding ths modi6-
cations Of the original bill. the most iul-
portant is one that has already been pub
licly announoed-the retention OF the Irish
members in the imperial parliament. We
have stipulated that lrelaud's representation
shall be as full as now. We will not assent
% any reduction Of our numbe 8. Mr..
Gladstone knows that his other modifioa-
tlons in the bill, as accepted by Mr.. Pernell :,
we will not go back on.
HAVE GLADSTONE ON THE ZIP.
"We have no reason to suppose that the
liberal leaders contemplate giving US less
but il any change should occur altering
their policy, we will at once suspend our
support of the liberal government. The
American press ought to know that our
position Is one OF entire independence; our
alliance with the liberals Ia to carry home
rule. By this we shall abide. To show our
Independence we have decided to SIT as op-
position to the liberal government, but we
will support them as long as they keep to
Mr. Parnelrs bill, not moment longer"
when do you expect Mr.. Gladstone to
introduce the hone rule billP Mr.. Dillon
was asked.
"As soon as the house reassembles in
January, or early in February. We do not
expect an autumn session. The house is
likely to adjourn next Friday"
TAKING THE OATH.
When the House of Commons adjourned
to-day 343 members had been sworn In and
had signed the rolls Il was q good days
work and was devoid OF the solemnity
sometimes associated with oath-taking A
number of members simply Gati1rmed, ir-
| cluding John Burns one of the labor lead
| ers, and Navroji Parsee. Several Quakers
and Jews took the oath with their ha Is
on. Keir Hardie, laborist, with boorish
| ostentntion walked up the floor Of tbs house,
keeping his cap on until he was called to
order by the speaker, when he reluctantly
took it off. He has already acquired the
character of pugnacious lout; but the
house has lashed into deoorum even worse
specimens than he is. Mr.. Davitt took the
| oath without the sign Of a conservative pro-
test, and was nt once surrounded by CON
graduating members who were glad TO bail
him as gentleman even il he was an old
| fenian convict
