I learn that at the council it was decided not toabandon clause 24. Glad- stone, however, deciared his willingness to in- troduce further “modifications” and will ex- plain these at the meeting of the liberal party to-morrow. The nature of these modifications fs not yet known, but the ministers have de- elded to limit them, first, by the retention of the clause excluding the Iris members; sec- ondly, by forbidding the Irish members to take any part in the discussion or decision of English or Scotch affairs. It isnot expected that Cbam- berlain will accept this as an adequate sion, because it raises the question of maki: organic change in the imperial parliament Much Damage by deck: westion which Gladstone promis: shou! ain Open in favor of the exclusion of the Irish membe: GLADSTONE’S SIGNIFICANT CIRCULAR, In the circular which he has issued to the members of the liberal party Gladstone says: “It is proposed to hold a mecting at the fo office on Thursday, the 27th, at noon, of all the members of the Itberal party’ who are desirous, while retaining full freedom on. all particulars in the Trish goverament bill, to vote in avor of the establishment of a legislative body in Dab- lin for the management, of aifairs specifically and exclusively Irish.” It concludes by ur- gently requesting the attendance of “such Members.” ‘The special significance of this Is its decision who shail and who snail not be con- sidered members of the liberal party In the fu- ture.
