UNION IN LIBERAL RAN
Mr.. Gladstone Will Have . United Follow
ing When lie Comes Into Power.

LONDON. July 31.-The Sunday Sun says that
it gathers from the proceedings OF Wednes-
days Parnellito meeting In Dublin and from
other reliable sources that the larnellites will
not attempt to embarrass Mr.. Gladstone in
his efforts to get the new Government fairly
started on its career Of legislation. Even II
he does not Immediately press the Home Rule
bill. the parnelites will certainly cooperate
with the anti Parnellites until tho Autonomy
bill ia introduced. and probably afterward. be-
cause they are convinced that the bill will be
such as every honest Irishman can accept as
a full and final settlement OF Ireand's claims.
The sun also states that there will probably
be short measure passed repeating the Co
ercion act before the Autonomy bill Is passed.
1t can now be stated on good authority that
the Salisbury Government will make no
attempt to take the W nd out OF MIR. Gl9dstone,s
home rule or repeal OF the Coercion act in the
address in reply to the Queens speech.
Mr.. Gladstone's Illness has caused q bad
scare among the Liberals and Nationalists. At
the Liberal clubs long faces are the rule rs the
possibilities OF Gladstones being disabled arc
first in regard to the aged statesman's condi-
ton were alarming that many feared the
worst. Sir Andrew Chrkes reports Of the real
condition of his illustrious patient have some-
what allayed the alarm. but there will be q
good deal Of anxiety among the friends and
supporters Of the Liberal leader until he Is
able to leave the house and show himself In
public again.
Mr.. Gladstone is considerably better to- day.
