THE IRISH CONFERENCE.
II Fails to Reach Any Agreement Between The
Diverse interests.

LONDON. March l3.-Thc general Irish confer
ence, the holdins OF which was proposed by Mr..
John Redmond. ended last night. and. as was pro-
dicted, resulted in a complete failure to patch up
any sort OF an agreement between the divergent
interests. Col. Saunderson. Conservative VI. =.
for North Armagh. who presided. said he re-
GREETED the want OF unanimity that had been dis
played.
The Daily Netrs explains the collapse OF tho
conference by the fact that majority Of tho
Irish members felt that the national demand for
a reference and adjustment OF the financial re-
lations between Great Britain and Ireland should
not be whitfield down TO meet the views OF
Unionist members, whose electors are as
thusiastic as the most extreme Sationalists for
immediate legislation on the subject. The Union
ist papers the Tsirgrnph and Morning Post,
laugh at the result as typical OF the factional
chaos that prevails in Irish politics.
II is notable that Lord Salisbury, repl ying Q
few days ago 10 a large dcputation OF Irish
land owners. headed by the Duke OF Abercorp
and the Marquis OF Londonderry, who visited
the Prime Minister for the purpose OF implorin4
notice OF their grievances, made no allusion
whatever 10 the question of financial relations.
He specially sneered at royal commissions gen-
orally, and said You Irish land owners ara
guilty OF a vice which il not often ascrtbed to
your countrymen-tOo great moiesty and too
great silence. In these days the class that does
not complain Is the class that goes TO the wall"

NATIONAL liberal FEDERATION.
Its Programme Contains No Reference Iri.h
Home Ruir.

LONDON, March l3.-The programme before
the annual conference OF the National Liberal
Federation. which will meet in Norwich on
Thursday next, contains no reference TO homo
rule. There are resolutions on the agenda at-
flrning adherence 10 Liberal principles"
which may be interpreted as including home
rule, in common with other items Of the famous
Newcastle programme. But only those who are
strongly predisposed 20 believe in a continuance
OF the Gladstone cult will credit the Liberals
with earnest intentions TO give Ireland legislar
tive Independence
The conference will give prominence 70 ques-
tions OF internal party administration, which
very much need attention: to voters rcgistra-
tion and electoral reform. employers liability
and labor. reform of the House Of Peers and In
ternatiOnal arbitration.
On this last matter u formal resolution will no
put expressing satisfaction AZ the reference TO
arbitration OF the Venezuelan trouble and the
general arbitration treaty, which the council OF
the National Liberal Federation earnestly
hopes will be ratified by the American senate"
Apropos o! the significant ON ,sion Ot Ireland

tnIonist, concur in saying ttHt the Irish parties
must no longer conceal from themselves tha
plain fact that home rIlo Is now out OF favor
with the Liberal As well a. the Conservative

The Peruvian government in April
suspended the coinage of silver and de-
cided to prohibit its importation after
May 10. 1t is probable that Peru wish.
ed to borrow money and that she could
not do so while on a silver basis with
out paying very high rates Of interest.
The Shylocks Of Europe refused to loan
at low rates and to take chances of los
ing more by tho depreciation of silver
than they would gain from the interest.
Oh, these wicked, grasping Shylocks
who refuse TO loan money at loss
