[Copyright 1888 ty James Gordon Bennett. | Loxvo, April 23— New York Herald Cable ~~Special to the Beg. |—There canno longer / be dout that Trish politics are passing into o vew phase. The pope’s counter blust against “theplan of campaign and Lord Randolph Churchill's emphatic protest against the policy of ail coercion and 1o concession must make the past week memorable in contem- porary Irish history. Out of each event im- portant events will flow. Do not suppose that the manifesto from the vatican or one speech in parliament begins and ends the tale. You will not have to wait longer than Monday to witness some new developments in both directions. Leading nationalists de- clare the pope’s action will be quietly ignored and the plan will be pursued with as much determination and success as cver. Into this part of the controversy I cannot enter. On the political side of the Irish question some facts are known to me which may be of interest to the American public. The cry here is that Randolph Churchill has broken out into revolt on mutiny. Loud and bitter is the resentment expressed towards him by the bulk of the tory party. But what has he done. Simply afirmed in the house of com- mons the principles and opinions advocated just before the election by nine-tenths of the tory party. Lord Randolph propounds no new theory. He brings forward no favorite scheme of his own. Heo says the tories promised a reformed local government for Irelad. “Yes) say Smith and Balfour, “but not until Ireland is loyal to the crown and con- stitution, was there ever or will there ever be atime when Ireland could pass unchal- lenged through a test of that kind.” There * is nlways disloyalty in Ireland according to English ideas. Until all traces are gone there shall be no concessions. Such is the attitude of the tory party as a whole., Lord Randolph is not afraid to denounce it as un- just, shortsighted and fraught with consequeuces menacing to Ireland and the union —to the future of the Ltory praty itself. But it s said Churchill has only four or five followers. True, there may not be more than that num- ber bold enough to support him openly in the house of commons, Many more there are who are quite ready to join him when 1t ceases to be dangerous to do so. They be- lieve in him, acknowledge he is right, but are afraid to face the frowns of a powerful ministry. Let public opinion shift as it will, if a policy of vumitigated coercion is pursued as the ministry now promise to be persistent in, and the timid souls will flock to Churchill’s standard. Not coercion alone can save Ireland or the union, but concessions warranted by circumstances and guided by justice and wisdom, Such is the Churchillite creed but behold the most remarkable phenomenon, While a leader of the tory party proclaims broad and generous views, Chamberlain who professcs to be a liberal, makes common cause with the most reactionary section of the tories. Anything to beat Gladstone is still Chamber- lain’s one idea, Imagine a professed radical joining with the party which practically fixes the Greek kalends as the period for conced- ing decent local government to Ireland. It is difficult to see where he is steering for, un- less like Goschen he thinks high honors in the tory camp are worth far more than Roman fidelity to liberal principles, The liberal party seems to have made up its mind 10 have no more to do with Chambe repentant or otherwise, ain. Of course affairs _ cannot remain long in the present state, as measures aro pending which must inevitably drive Chamberlain further on the down grade. A regolution will be introduced ufirming the necessity of local reforms in Ireland, Chamberlain will oppose it. Orders of the day for Monday, distributed to members to-day, place first on the list King Harmon's salary bill. You know how this is detested by the Irish party and how very much in the nature of a job the entire transaction is. T should not be sur- prised to see Churchill taking a very active part inthe discussion of this condemning item, practically and even voting against it. Once more on Monday weJnay see a tory (Churchill) protesting against purbling toryisw and radical Chamberlain obediently defending it. Whether the Gladstonian liberals will make a good fight I know not. One of their foremwost men thus explained to me the other day the dificulties under which they labored. “Parnell cannot get his men from Ireland to try his hardest. Many are swall shopkeep- ers or poor working men, and they cannot affcrd frequent journeys to and from Ireland. Sowe are paid their expenses and they are here. Others, hke Healy, must attend to their professional engagements, For the English members they are pretty regular in attendance, but last Tuesday they had no idea Justin McCarty intended to call atten- tion 1o the new dodge of increasing sentences on appeal. We watted to surprise the tories snd therefore would. not issue a whip, Word was seut round privately to 8 many us we could reach, 1 know we might have left the government in a majority of two-substantially a defeat—if we had been able to vote Tuesday as we did Monday, but we were obliged to keep our intentions dark, and that is why our own men did not hear of what was going on." This may be regarded as next to an official explanation of the breakdown of the Glad- stonian forces Tuesday. Clearly, however, the party whips might very easily have made greater exertions, and the old parliamentari- ans were doubtless hauled over the coals by the young men for giving another conspicuous example of their Jaziness or incapacity. A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT. —— CAIN AND ABEL, One Gillig Threatens to Publicly Horsewhip the Other Gillig. [Capyright 188 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxnox, April 28.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bre.]—Gillig was in- terviewed to-day and spoke more freely. He found at No. 8 Adelaide street, the premises formerly used for storage of the American exchange baggage. When asked by the Herald correspondent, ‘“how far is the Paris exchange connected with the others,” he replied: “Totally distinct. The London and New York sharcholders and directors are distinct and separate. I own half the Paris stock. Paris is solvent and working, though strained by the other failures. Hyde and Nicholas did not resign from the board six months previous to the suspension, The truth is, at the last annual meeting their names were dropped. They were appointed on the committee, but had made no report. The branch they presided over lost large sums of money. Nichols certainly transferred a large portion of his stock to his clerk, but is still liable for §2,500, as also Hyde.” Questioned as to what he really attributed the failure, Gillig replied: “The diamond necklace business. I did not make a penny on the affair. Igave the diamonds to the clerk, telling him to arrange for their sale. I discharged him as a defaulter, and he went back on me and informed, Then the run came and the depositors kept drawing, and the two days terriffic strain ensued that was the cause of the failure.” Questioned as to what are your prospects, he replied: “I think no doubt the exchange will continue. We are meeting bills as fast as they fall. due, and have made arrange- ments with various banks. When the final statement, comes, it will not reach £500,000. If T made a mistake it was in trusting to names such as Lawrence Barrett. 'Chey are good assets, but cannot be converted into cash.” His brother, Charles Gillig, keens an ex- change on the other side of the Strand. He said to the Herald correspondent that unless Henry ceased his lying he would horsewhip him on the public street. So I said, ‘“we will go over and see him.” We walked across. Charles was in but refused to see Henry, and probably the Strand version of Cain and Abel was averted. Later in the evening Charles said to the Herald reporter that if Henry did not keep his own couasel he would avai himself of the opportunity long desired. Henry was only lightifg the fuse of a big bomb, and it will presently explode and ruin him, e A CONFEDERATE G. A. R. MAN. General Joseph E. Johnston Joins a Philadelphia Post. PuILADELHTIA, April 28.—The announce- ment is made here that General Joseph E. Johnston, the highest in rank of the living officers of the confderate army, wae on Thursday might last unanimously elected honorary member of E. D. Baker Post No. 8, G. A. R., of this city. The election was brought about upon receipt of a letter read- ing: “For the purpose of enabling me to participate in the noble work of charity per- formed by the comrades of the Grand Army, T hereby make application for a contributing membership in your post. Enclosed please find the sum of $10 for one year's dues.” The petition was unaccompanied by any other communication and when presented to the members of the post for their considera- tion, it went through with a rush amid cheers. General Johnston is the only ex- confederate soldier who has ever been re- ceived into the ranks of a Grand Army post. — A Fine Legal Point. Kaxsas Ciry, Mo., April 28.—|Special Tele- gram to the Beg.]—The point was raised by the attorneys for Blanche Conners, convicted of murder in the first degree, that the verdict is illegal as Kansas City comes under the statute which requires cities of 100,000 and over to have jurors drawn by a jury commis- sioner who is elected by the people. Upon this point Judge Gill says that although the law is general in its nature, it does not apply to Kunsas City, but was enacted specially for St. Louis and such cities as include a county. If & commissioner were cd he would be compelled to draw juro m townships in the county, for which the luw makes no pro- vision, —_—— Roll Down an Embankment. .—A passenger train on the New York & Pennsylvania railroad was wrecked near White House, ten miles cast of here, this morning, by the spreading of tho rails. The mail and baggage car and two coaches containing about forty passen- gers rolled down a twenty-foot embankment. No one was killed outright but sixteen peo- ple were quite seriously injured, and some of them will probably die. ‘Weather For Nebraska: Generally fair weather, slowly risiug temperature, winds becoming light to fresh and variuble, For Iowa: Colder, fair weather, preceded in southeast portions by rain or snow, followed in northwest portion by rising tem- perature, brisk northerly winds, becoming light to fresh and variable, Western and Southwestern Dakota: Warner, fair weather, light to fresh variable winds. e An Earthquake in California.

The OChancellor and Her Majesty Quite Gracious With Each Other, THE RECENT CHANCELLOR FUSS. Other Matters Took a Prominent Part in It as Well as the Batten- berg Alliance — German Financial Affairs. Condition of the Kaiser. Copyright 1888 by New York Assoctated Press.) BeruiN, April 28.—The end of the week sees no unhoped for change in the emperor’s condition and the feeling of relief and joy at the good news can be plainly read in the faces of the daily visitors to the Schloss. There is every reason to believe no further complications will set in, at least fer some ‘weeks, now that the dangers of the crisis are over. The original disease, however, is in- sidious in progressand the final result is only postponed. The North German Gazette, which usually takes a pessimist view of the emperor’s case, says: “At any rate the local disease is unus- ually slow in progress. Even now one can speak neither of a very material extension of the malady nor of its so much dreaded spreading to other and especially to vital or- gans.” This extract rather reflects the reac- tion that has taken place in the German press sinco the admitted success of Dr. Mackenzie's treatment, and the now almost equally admitted fact that the recent crisis was mainly due to De Bergmann’s futile at- tempts to insert the new canula. Dr, Berg- mann recently said to Dr. Mackenzie: It matters little what the feelings of the Ger- man people may be, but I have my reputation to preserve, and Iwill sign nothing that is contrary to the truth.” The fact that Dr. Bergmann signed the recent bulletins is therefore of ex- ceptional importance. One of the physicians attending the em- peror expressed his views as follows: *Con- sidering the gravity of the emperor’s malady, is condition is as good as could be hoped; but & fresh crisis may come at any moment. Never the less apart from accidents, new develop- ments are not expected for a month or six weeks. The strong constitution of the em- peror may carry him over this, but it is usc- less to deceive ourselves and hope too much.”” The emperor was much encouraged yes- terday by reading a report of the case of the Hungarian schoolmaster who submitted to tracheatomy in 1881 and is still m fair health. As a further sign that the present danger is past, M. Herbette, French minister, who has delayed his de- parture a fortnight in consequence of the crisis, has arranged to return to Paris Tues- day. It is reported also that the grand duchess of Baden talks of leaving Charlotten- burg. After her drive to Berlm Weduesday Queen Victoria was so pleased with the hearty reception accorded to her by the peo- ple that she immediately telegraphed to Lord Salisbury a detailed account of the warm welcome she received. She was all the more pleasod because it had been sug- gosted to her mot to come to Berhn, as it was feared she would be coolly received by the people. Nothing, however could induce her to forego her visit 0 the emperor's sick bed. ‘Wednesday'’s state banquet is the universal theme of discussion. Never since the last century had such splendor been witnessed in the Charlottenburg schloss. The queen was extremely gracious to Prince Bismarck. Official organs have littie to* say of the results of the interview beyond commenting upon the eminent satisfaction shown by both the queen and chancellor, Other journals make numerous asscgtions in regard to the interview, but they are un- worthy of attention; as also the report that the emperor appointed the queen honorary chief of the Life Guard regiment in memory of her visit. Oneof the particular reasons for holding the review was rather that the queen expressed a desire to see the regiment in which Prince Henry of Batteuberg was formerly ‘a lieutenant, A correspondent of the Munich Altgemeine Zeitung says, with reference to the attacks upon the queen and empress: ‘‘Here in Alasce-Lorraine we can almost lay our hands on the mischief this wild noise has done, and we therefore regard it with double pain and indignation.” The council of ministers meets daily, Count Horbert Bismarck assisting in the de- liberations. The recent chancellor crisis arismg from the proposed marriage of Princess Victoria aid Prince Alexander of Battenburg was aggravated by the emperor insisting that the decisions of the coun- cit, which formerly were submitted to Ewmperor William in Bismarck's name, should now be submitted in a manner showing by what majority, giving the names of the counsellors and how they had been ar- rived at. Prince Bismarck held out for solidarity, but eventually he acceded to the emperor's wish, Another source of trouble was the appearance of @ joint memorial by the kingdoms of Bavaria Saxony, Wurtemberg and Baden, setting forth that owing to the delicate state of the emperor's health and the inexperience of the crown prince, it is advisable that the su- preme power of declaring war, and conclud- ing peace should be vested in the reichstag, instead of remaining with the emperor. No reply as yet has been sent to this memorial. Business transacted on the bourse to-day was insignificant, Stocks were firmly held, and there was no materdal change in prices, The annual bank reports are now nearly all published. Eighty of the banks were en- abled to distribute large dividends, thirty paid the same dividends as the previous years, and only eighteen declared smaller dividends than in 1886, Offers to reappear in next season's pro ductions of German opera in New York have been made to Fraulgin Malten, Frau Rose Papaer, Frau Paulina Luceca, and Herr Gude- huo, the tenor. The managers are meditat- ing the production in New York of Wagner's “‘Rhinegold and ‘‘Parcifal,” if they can ob- tain the consent of the heirs, ——— THE CRISIS PASSED. The Kaiser's Condition Makes the Ber- liner's Unusually Happy. [Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.] Benuiy, April 28 —[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bep.]—The piercing blasts from the Pomerfan marshes compel Berliners to reluctantly don their furs agaih, but contrary to all expectations this wintry relapse has a more irvigorating effect on the kaiser. Twice a day little paper bulletins giving the latest news from the imperial bed- side are distributed by handfulls in the cafes and beerhouses throughout the city, and the honest delight with which men, women and children of all classes read better news of Unser Kaiser is a most touching sight. The cmperor has now safely passed the artificially created crisis, and for the first time since fifteen days his temperature, this morning was normal, and did not as hitherto rise in the evening. Enormous bouquets sent from all parts of Germany fill his rooms and testify to his improved condition, for heretofore a few cut flowers only were allowed in the room. In consequence of the kaiser’s improved condition, the French ambassador availed himself of his leave of absence and left this evening for Paris. This ray of hope from the kaiser’s bedside and the excellent effect of the queen’s visit have made Berlin quite gay again. Even the chancellor crisis has not entered the benign place. The queen, by her tact and highly favorable personal impression made upon Bismarck, has removed for a moment all friction between the empress and chancellor. By tacit consent now it ghall not be alluded to during the emperor’s hfetime, Carl Schurtz arrived here this morning from Frankfort. i Count Arco Valley, the new German minis- ter to Washington, sails for his post from Southampton May 3, Pendleton continues to 1mprove and will probably take a villa at Weisbaden for May. The new German coinage with the head of Frederick IIT was to-dey approved by the kaiser. I had a speeint§ ; in my hand to-day and am able to testify tb the artistic merits of the new coinage. It will not be issued for a month. Among the Americans are W. Beverly Crane, of New York. Basil Gordon, member of the Virginia legislature, was here for ten days. Mrs. Purrington and daugter, of New York, and Mrs. Rand of Chicago, are en route for Marienbad. Mrs. Archibald Gracie and daugnter, of New York, have sailed for home, and Mrs, Shefiield and son have left for Wiesbaden cn route for New York.

Smith, a private detective in this city, caused to be arrested here this morning in a main street saloon a man answering to the description of J. A. Chitwood, of Fort Worth, Tex., and who has been going under the name of Charles Lewis, The offense with which Chitwood is charged is that of running off with the wife of Milton King, a wealthy druggist of Fort Worth, her three children and $2,000 of the druggisy's money. Heis a handsome fellow, twenty- cight years of age, and is by occupation a drug clerk. Some weeks ago he founa em- ployment in a drug store on Frederick ave- nue and has since been closely shadowed by Smith. A reward of $300 has been offered for his capture and A, M. Farmer, the city marshal of Fort Worth, has beex telegraphed, but no answer has yet been received, Mrs. King Cannot be found and Lewis claims that he has a wife and three children living near Jefferson City. It is claimed that, while under the influence of liquor, Lewis confessed to parties in the city that he was the man wanted in Fort Worth, and that he had spent all the old man’s money, and_he might have his wife and children back if he wanted them, Mrs, King is about twenty about five feet tall, will 1w hundred and fifteen pound; set and well formed, leans forward a litile in walking, light complexion, blue eyes, blonde hair, heavy and inclined to curl’ or wavy, dish face, nose turns up slightly, two upper front teeth out and has artificial teeth in- stead.

PuiraneLenia, Pa., April 28.—In response to a call issued some time ago by Gov- ernor Beaver, thes governors of the thir- teen Coriginal states or their represen- tatives, with the exception of Massachu- setts, met to-day to consider plans for the es- tablishment of a fitting and lasting memo- rial to commemorate the first century of the constitution of the United States, Resolutions were passed call- ing upon the national government and the various states and territories to make appropriations for the fund to erect a suit- able national monument commemorative of the framing and adoption of the constitution of the United States, to be erected within the city of Philadelphia, said monument to bear the names of the signers ofgthe declaration of independence smrthe framers of the con- stitution.

Sowing Machine Money Will Aid Them to Live in Luxury. ZOLA'S CURIOUS EXPERIMENT. He Plays One of His Productions to a Packed House of Deadheads to Counteract Unfavorable Par- isean Criticisms. Variable French Weather. [Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panis, April 28.—[New York Herald Cable ~Special to the Bee.]—Spring has been very capricious in Paris so far—bright and glor- ious sunshine one day and bitter northerly winds and cold the next; but atlast the back of the long winter secems to have been broken and there is every hope that it is, Varnishing day at the salon next Monday will be as bright and brilliant as usual. Breaking through established salon traditions President Carnot prefaced his journey south by o visit to the big annual show at the Palais de I'Industric. Half the pictures ‘were still unhung, but those he saw in the company of a few privileged litterateurs and politicians promised well for the success of, the whole exhibition, which seems likely to be the best we have seen since the artists shook off the irksome control of state poli- tics. O Momentarily stagnant since his sensational entry into the chamber of deputics, Boul- anger has been resting on his laurels or spending his time sending out invitations to the political love feast which took place last night at the Cafe Riche. A fow years ago, it is well remembered, Duc Daumals was over- whelmed with execrations for doing just what Boulanger is now doing. He could not forward any one a brace of Chantilla partridges without the whole republican press accusing him of political corruption. Boulanger has not escaped severe criticism cither. All the anti-plebiscalary papers are down on him, and to add to his tribulations half the deputies to whom he has addressed invitations have refused to compromise themselves by accepting them. A still more serious blow to Boulangism, however, has been the letter of Anatole dela Forge, the successor in the seat left vacant by the little great man in the Ninth arron- dissement, The gencrals partisans profess to have the heart of Paris with them, ana have repeatedly challenged the republicans to vacate a scat in the capitol to give their hero a chance of pitting himself against one of them. Anatole de la Forge has now picked up the glove and offered to resign and run the chances of a new election on two condi- tions—first, that the general shall face him at public meetings and explain his political programme to the electors, and second, that his own fortunes being siender he or his Xers shall consent to pay the cost of a new clection. As might be expected the Boulangists fight shy of the proposal, and Le Paris was heartily justified in saying last night that the Boulangists are wanning. The sudden death of Princess Jablonowka, following so close on the marriage of her daughter Terka to Maurice Bernhardt, has given rise to a strange and scnsational rumor. Sarah Bernhardt has been tele- graphed for and may arrive at any moment, as important financial questions will have to be decided when the princess’ will is opened. The princess died of heart disease and was buried to-day. By her death her daughter will inherit an income of $5,000 bequeath ed to the late princess by Victor Emanuel, French and foreign society was brilliantly represented at the weddmng of the young Duke de Cazes and Miss Isabella Singenr, daughter of Duchess de Camposelice, which took place to-day at the church of St. Pierre de Chaillot, Precisely at noon the bridal party entered while the organ pealed forth the joyous strains of Mendelssobu's wedding march. Queen Tsabella and Princess Philip of Saxc-Coburg Gotha sat on opposite sides of the altar, which wus fragrant with flowers and incense. The bride is a beautiful girl of nineteen, with an income of $120,000, She wore a superb costume of white peau de soie, (said to have cost 50,000 francs), trimmed with orange blossoms; a tulle veil covered her face. Duchess de Camposclia wore a pearl gray brocade silk with tassels of the same color and a bonnet of lace and feathers glittering with diamonds, Duchess de Cazes wore a radiant lilac silk, with lace and diamonds. Princess de Scey Montbeliard wore a pale rose, Princess Philip of Saxe-Coburg Gotha appeared in pale blue silk, with demi-train trimmed with lace, a bonuet of lace with pearls, feathers and old rose ribbons. Queen Isabella wore a stripped old rose silk, pearls and Persian mantle, After the bride and bridegroom had re- ceived the congratulations of friends in the sacristy, a grand reception was held at Duchess de Camposelice’s house on Avenue Kleber, Five hundred guests were present, among theme being Lord and Lady Lytton, Prince de Polignac, Duke and Duchess de Fazensac, Count Munster, Duchesses de la Rochefoucauld and Deaudouville, Countess de Kergelak nee Carroll, Marquise de Har- court, Mrs. Howland, Mr., and Mrs. John Munroe, and others, Among the costly and beautiful wedding presents sent the young duchess were a diamond tiara and pearl neck- lace from the bridegroom, another diamond necklace from Duchess de Cazes, a diamond broach from Baroness de Rothschild, and a silter inkstand from Comte Paris, At ¢ o'clock the happy pair started for Duke de Cazes' Chateau de la Grave near Bordeaux for the honeymoon, expecting to settle down in Paris at the end of May. An interesting experiment was made at Chatelet last night. “Germanial” was played to a house crowded with dead heads. Zola's way of answering the critics, all of whom have mercilessly damned the play. Like Gladstone, Zola appealed from the Yasses to the masses, predicting that the people would reverso the critics sentence. Gratitude for the night's amusement gratis probably had much to do with the result of his experiment. The ragged audience which crowded every corner of the huge house certainly showed plenty of en- thusiasm, They cheered all the honest work- ingman sentiment of the luckless Mahen, and sniveled at the rather artificial scene of Httle Abzire’s death, but oddly enough, as somo think, they seemed mdifferent to the anarch- ist theories put into the mouth of Souvariene. Altogether, though more lenient than the classes, the musses showed considerable acumen, A dramatic curiosity has just been pro- duced at the little Theatre Libre, which last night was filled with literary and social celebrates. It was Paul Arene's adaptation of Aubancl's provincial drama “Lou Pon dou Prat,” or as it reads in the French version, “Le Pain du Piche.” The plot would hardly commend itself to Anthony Comstock. It is based on an old provencial superstition that the food or bread made by a faithless wife brings death to her offspring. When Malandran, the farmer, discovers his wife has deceived him he gathers yp the food she has prepared for the family meal and prepares to give it to his children. In vain the guilty woman bogs and prays him to spare her offsprmg. He refuses and in despair Fannette kills herself. —_— More Trouble at Nancy. Panis, April 28.—There was a renewal of the disorders at Nancy to-night. Ten arrests were made, but the crowd refused to disperse and the hussars were ordered to charge with the gens d’ armes and clear the streets. Still the mob increased and the streets resounded with shouts of ‘‘Vive Boulanger.” At 11 o’clock mounted gens d’ armes succeeded in breaking the crowd into small groups, and by mdnight the town was quiet. e e The Lottery Loan Passed.

Not Much Interest Caused by Itg lssuance Among the Irish Lead- ers—It Comes too Late For Effect, 1:- The Plan of Campaign Decree. Loxvoy, April 28.—[New York Herald| Cable—Special to the Ber.]—The St. James! Gazette, referring to the papal decree, sayss ‘After all the rumors of missions and negos. tiations it is surprising that many Irishmenw Dbelieve in the existence of a bargain betwee England and the vatican, into which, th say, the vatican was tricked. “Heed shou:! be given," it says, ‘'to the statement that the pope backs up Lord Salisbury, rescues Loy Clanricarde, and supports Chief Secref Balfour. Even the conservative dimness of vision ought to see that such a positiof could only produce ome effect upos the Irish, 1t the pope has allowed himself to be drawn into anything even faintly resembling such a mistake it will be regretted by most Irish Catholics, and' Lord Salisbury and Balfour will not gain any political advantage by the blunder; omy the contray it will add to the intense bitters ness of Ireland’s hatred to the tory governs ment.” In conclusion the Gazette demands that it be early made known that there havd been no transactions or bargainings betweerm: the government and the vatican. The Globe says it suits tha purposes of the national ° league and the Fenian press of America to curry favor with the priests, but if the supporters. of home rule should attain their object, tha division of the spoils would cause a conflict between the Parnellite party and the vana tican, both of which would desire the ex- clusive right to govern Ireland. The vane tican desires the social and political domis nance of emancipated Irelana, but it does not: desire to substitute a republic for a mon- archy. Experience has shown that where- ever this has been done the papacy has been eclipsed. The conception that the pope hag accepted a bribe from Lord Salisbury, lfi idiotic, sordid and surprising. The London correspondent of a New Yorlg daily has cabled his paper the followings “The confirmation of the report that thq pope has issued a decree concerning the plad, of campaign and boycotting does not create as much interest among Irish members as might have been expected. The plan of campaign has never been approved by Pary nell and has fallen into practical desuetude since the passage of the lease holders act of the last session. The decree comes too late to affect it, for its work, such as it was, i dome. As for boycotting, it is in operatiof only in sections where it jumps with xoca desires, and thesc are too strong to be altered and mollified by a dozen papal bulletingy The thing, of course, is felt to be a grévioug mistake on the parv of Rome, but there wu‘ be no bad feeling or mutinous talk.” Rome, April 28, —[Press.]—It is stated hery that the action of the congregation see n& garding the plan of campaign in Ircland was taken spontaneously and without previous suggestion from England. The pope s proved the action, without entering into thy pending political questions between Englas and Ircland. ———— EUROPEAN POLITICS.
