PARNELLITES IN REVOLT.
Gladstone Not 10 Be Supported in
Coming Divisions.

Redmond's Speech Springs Political
Sensation-ParnelIs Predictions De-
clared Wholly Justifed-Gladstone
Home Rule Bill Declared Unsatisfac-
tory-Resolutions Passed in Favor
of an Immediate Reorganization of
the Irish Party-Gladstone's Future
Policy Unsatisfactory.
Dublin, Oct. l0-The speech made last
night at the Parnellite meeting, held in
the rotunda here, by John Redmond,
the Parnellite leader and member of
parliament for Waterford, has caused a
sensation here and throughout political
circles in great Britain, for it indicates
clearly that the Parnellites will no longer
support Mr.. Gladstone or his policy.
As cabled to the Associated Press last
night, Mr.. Redmond discussed the home
rule situation and remarked that the
whole question had undergone a fatal
change. Continuing, Mr.. Redmond said
that the situation they had met to con-
slider was one of deadly peril TO Irishmen,
the home rule question had been hung up
by the Liberal party in parliament and
the Independent nationalists who con-
sented to submit to the rejection of the
home rule bill were either fools or slaves.
ERIN's CAUSE IN PERIL.
Continuing, Mr.. Redmond said the
Irish cause at the present moment was
menaced by deadly peril, which was the
inevitable result of the nationalists' sur
render to the English. The late Charles
Stewart ParnelPs prediction was fully
justified, said Mr.. Redmond. There was
no use of deceiving the Irish into the be-
lief that the British people, who had
taken up home rule, acted from any
other motive than necessity and
only when they realized that
British interests were imperilled. The
danger, the speaker claimed, lay in the
fact that Ireland no longer blocked the
way The liberals, according to Mr..
Redmond, had hung up home rule for the
entire year, until 1894, at least, and now
they intended to proceed to the consider
alton of English reforms, without having
settled with Ireland, so soon as the voters
of Great Britain realized that Ireland
would submit to this. Thus, Mr.. Red
mond added, was a large part of Mr.. Par
nell's life work undone, and home rule
would disappear for generation or more.
GLADsTONE's BILL UNsATIsFACTORY.
Moreover, he continued, what kind of
home rule did Mr.. Gladstone offerl The
bill of last session, the speaker claimed,
was dead and the next one would un-
doubtedly be further compromise meas
ure. Mr.. Redmond then criticised at
length the course of Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien, whose names were greeted with
groans and Kisses. That Parnellite leader
then said that it was strange that when
Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Morley admitted
that the bill did not give fuff justice to
Ireland, that an Irish member Of parlia-
ment was to be found who would declare
in the name of the Irish race, that this
bill, with its humiliating restrictions and
degrading limits, fully satisfied the nation
ahsts' demands.
In conclusion, MIR. Redmond made de-
finite announcement to the effect that at
the coming session of parliament he and
his followers would decline to follow the
government to a division in the lobbies on
the English question. This statement of
Mr.. Redmond was greeted by loud and
prolonged cheering upon the part of the
audience assembled IN the rotunda.
A PARNELLITE OPPORTUNITY.
When Mr.. Redmond was able to pro-
ceed, he said that he believed the Par
nellites' opportunity was at hand, as their
opponents were beginning to be unmasked,
and all their dead leaders, predictions
would be verified. Loud applause.
The Parnellites then passed resolutions
to the effect that the refusal of the gov
ernment to consider at the autumn ses-
sion a measure to reinstate the evicted
tenants in Ireland, its refusal to release
the Irish political prisoners and
Mr.. Gladstones failure at Edin-
burgh recently to define his
in regard to the Irish question,
Indicated the policy he intended to follow
in regard to home rule. All this, it was
claimed, indicates that immediate ac-
tion upon the part of the Irish party is
and that reorganization of
that party throughout should be one of
the first steps to be taken.
The audience dispersed with loud
cheers for Mr.. Redmond and for home
rule
