ERIN'SCAUSE TOIHEFRONT
GladStOnG'S Retirement ArOuSeS the
Irish Leaders.

lIondon, March Si-Mr GladstOne's con-
dition was slightly improved this morn
ing. His symptoms of bronchitis have
not increased, and his cough aud catarrh
have so yielded to treatment that they
have almost ceased to annoy him; never
theless, his physicians advised him to
remain in bed to-day
The first council of Lord Rosebery's
cabinet was held to-day The principal
business of the council was the drafting
of the queens speech to be delivered at
the re0pening of parliament.
The announcement is made officially
that Baron Tweedmouth, Edward
Majoribanks,) will be made lord
privy seal with a seat in the cabinet.
The announcement that Herbert Glad
stone will receive the appointment of first
commissioner of works is again made on
Official authority, and from the same
source it is learned that K. c. Munroe.
Ferguson, NJ. P, a member of the privy
council, will be appointed junior lord of
the treasury In the room Of Thomas Ed
ward Ellis, elevated To the peerage.
a PARNELLtTE MANIFESTO.
The Parnellites gave out this evening a
signed by John Redmond leader of the
group; Timothy Harrington, member of
parliament for the Harbor division of
Dublin, and Joseph Edward Kenney.
member of parliament for the College
Green division of Dublin. The mani.
festo says: "a crisis has arisen in
the fortunes of the country which makes
it imperative that the men who struggled
three years ago to retain Charles Stew
ppf DIV ,4l1 IA -,
should try now to preserve un broken the
organization and brotherhood established
at that time among our race. We ad-
dress to you wisdom, warning and ad-
vice. Mr.. Gladstone then declared that
the retention of MIR Parneu
would reduce his own leadership of
the liberals almost to nullity. His letter
contained no hint or threat of resigna-
ton, or OF change of his liberal attitude
to home rule. Nevertheless, in a moment
OF weakness or panic, Mr.. Parnell was
abandoned, ayowedly to maintain MIR.
Gladstone's leadership and preserve
the alliance with the liberals. The
result was that one of the grand
est and best disciplined political
combinations the world ever saw. degen-
Grated into a betrayal of Mr. Parnell and
into contederacy with the liberal gov
ernment, which denied Justice TO the Irish
on the simple questions of eviction and
amnesty Of political offenders.
THE NEW LIBERAL CABINET.
Apart altogether from the question of
Mr. Gladstone own sincerity in the Irish
cause, and his desire to be identified with
the final solution of the Irish question,
the final test must now be applied to the
sincerity Of the liberal cabinet. 1T was
to retain MIR. Gladstone's services that
h LDs,.
Mr. Gladstone S promise was the bond of
fered in every political platform to Ire
land in the past three years. We warn
our countrymen now, that his retirement
from the leadership can originate
only in a scheme to defeat the
hopes of the Irish people by abandon
ng home rule, or through such
compromise as can only be regarded by
Ireland as an insult and mockary. The
removal of the Irish block on the imperial
parliament, encourages the party of half
hearted home rulers in the cabinet to be-
lieve they may again safely disappolnt
the hopes of Ireland
I'VE can have no confidence in the Earl
of ROseberys cabinet. The time has
come for prompt action. The Irish people
will no longer tolerate policy of national
subserviency to English party interests
Let them organize the forces Of their race
to support the struggle for institutional
government"
SPLIT OF THE EANTI-PARNELLITEs.
The dissensions IN the anti-Parnellite
ranks continue and the followers of MIR.
Healy are reported to have reached a de-
cision that Lord Roscbcry, failing to give
satisfactory assurances in regard to home
rule, they will oppose the government.
There are said to be twenty-siX

stand for election to the House Of Com

The hall had been packed with working
men VINO received his lordship with
Kisses, and groaEs and cries Of "down
with the House Of Lords" ord Dudley
was able TO deliver only about one-third
of his speech, and little Of what he said
was audible, as he was constantly inter-
ruptcd. Eventually a party of working
men made a dash for the pla,-
form, upsetting the seats and
