into the liberal camp BY serving notice
Upon The guvernrnat through JOHN Nor

unless the principle of home rule for

queen speech on the occasion Of the re-
assembling OF parliament and IN other
ways officially announced as the first
plank IN the platform OF the liberal
party. These demands. Il is explained
by tfse irish lenders. have been nseessl-
tatei hy the profound sensation wslieh
has been created IN the IRISH ranks by
the declaration made by William Me-
Evan. liberal member for the central d.
vision Of Edinburgh in a recnt speech
in the Scotch capital that the home rule
hlI was dead and that it would be Inn
possible 10 carry the country with that
measure at the first or even as the prin-
ciple issue contended for by the liberal
party, The speaker went on 10 say that
the Irisa ought TO be content with a
merely local government, and not haggle
for an independent parliamentary gov
ermoat iE the face of the inevitable. y
merely local government, ne had no
doubt. could be secured BY Ireland under
certain conditions. This declaration is
understood 20 mean that the conserva-
tives. for the sake OF finally d;spos5ng
Of the Irish question and allowing good
part Of the session 10 be devoted TO ether
measures, would gladly agree to support
such a bill.
Mr.. MeEswan is a very intimate friend
of Lord Rosebery, and this fact has Civ
en- rise TO the report, wllsch has been
widely circulated by Irish members, thai
Lord Rosehery had read ard approved
Mr.. McEwan's remarks before his Edin-
bargh speech Was delivered. Whethe-
or not Mr. McE,8ans $ address was Off

20 throw the ardent home rule liberals
into a state of CONSERVATION. 20 insense
the Mccarthylte wing OF the Irish party
and to plunge the ParnelIites into a sen

the irish party have all along predicted
that the ministry would break their
pledge 80 pursue the home raie policy Of
Mr. Gladstone to the end. and the decla-
confirming their prediction.
Ia the meantIme communications on the
subject are passing between Mr.. Morley
and Lord Rosebery. with a view TO form

ment to a reantroductson OF home rule
bill before parliament is dissolved. This
fact furnishes influbEabse evidence that
the ministry are alarmed at the turn
affairs have taken. and also induces the
belief that the address Of Mr. McEwan
was officially inspired. Mr.. Morley is re-
ported to have asked the cabinet 10 give
official assent. an1 without waiting for
