LoSpoy, August 6.-~The series OF con-
ferences between the leaders OF the Irish
party and MIR. Gladstone has definitely re-
suited in such degree OF mutual COM
depce as promises to expedite greatly the
advent of home rule in Ireland. The
acceptance by Mr.. John Morley OF the
post af Chef Secretary for Ireland
was the point upon which the cnieis
of the McCarthyito faction laid considera-
bio stress. Mr., Morley himself was re-
luctant himself 70 accept the secretary
ship. desiring some other post IN the Caol-
NET which would impose on him less arlu-
ous duties and only agreed to accept ~
when n was represented TO him by Mr..
Gladstone that no other Minister couId SO
fully command tho support OF the lrisn
members Of Parliament.
TIE IRISH rARrY's SATISFACTION.
In an interview with representative
of the Associated Press. Mf. Jonn
D,lIon Expressed the satisfaction or the
iyish Marty az the prospect of SIR. MorleySs
holding tho post during the critical period
in the progress of the home-rule piu.
Referring TO the reports printed IN some
Of the English papers that certain irish
memhers nicht take Office under Mr..
Morley. BIZ. Dillon said that such
thing was next TO impossible.
No member Of the party. he de-
clared, would dare 10 accept place
under any English government. We are
pledged" he added, ITO accept no post
except under purely irish administra-
tion-when we get 1t and any man yio-
lating that rule would be expelled from
the marty. You do not hear OF any one
aiming at place under the Gladstone gov
eminent. The English papers are entirely
wrong in regard to the matter"
PARNELL WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED IT.
When asked whether he could commu-
nicate what notifications MIR. Gladstone
had made in his home-rule bill, Mr.. Dillon
replied that he was not at liberty TO say
ANYTHING except that the bill was likely to
DO one that Mr.. Parnell would have ac-
cepted, adding, 1--WE will not take any,
thing less. Mr.. Gladstone knows that our
position in the matter is definite and IN
flexible. He has pledged himself to place
home rule IN front of all other measures,
and to keep 1t there until it is passed.
believe we car rely upon his intention 20
do so. Regarding the notifications OF the
original bill, the most important is one that
has already been publicly announced-the
retention of Irish members in the imperial
Parliament. We have stipulated that Ire
lands representation shall be as full as
now. We will not assent to any reduction
of our numbers. MIR. Gladstone knows
that his other notifications in the bill, as
accepted by MIR. Parnell, We will not go
back on.
THE IRISH PARTY INDEPENDENT.
I'VE have no reason to suppose that the
Liberal leaders contemplate giving us less,
but if 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 IS TO carry
home rule. BY that we shall abide. 10
show our independence. we have decided
to sit as in opposition to the Liberal gov
eminent, but we will support them as long
as they keep to Mr.. Parnells bill; not
moment longer"
INTRODUCTION OF THE BILL
"When do Won expect Mr.. Gladstone to
introduce the home-rule bill ?" MI. 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.
