GIADSTONE ISSUES A REPLY. Ho Denies the 8tatements Made by Parnell in His Manifesto, NO SUGGESTIONS OFFERED BY HIM. A Number of Home Rule, Liberal and Tory Fapers Severely Oritieiss the Statements Made by the Ivish Leader. Loxpox, Nov. 20— Messrs, (Hladstone and Moriey both disputs Parnell’s version of the megotiations which took place between them fn reggard to home rule and other matlers concerning Irelaad, Messrs, Sexton and Healy are taking the opinion of each Irish member of parliament asto the advisability of organizing & movement for an alliance of antl-Parmetlites with Gladstone. In an interview today, Henry Labouchere, sember of parliament and editor of Truth, Baid it would be charitable to suppose Mr. Parnell mad, It is impossible to suppose a ®ane man with any sense of honor or patriot- §sin would issue a manifesto so damaging to himself and so injurious to his country’s cause, Gludstone has fssued areply to Parncll's manifesto in which he den in toto the statemnents made by the Irish leader in re gard to the retention of Irish members in the fmperial the settlement of the land or agrarian dificulty in Ireland, the control of the Trish constabulary and the appointment of & udicia inIreland. Gladstone then comes ;lvllh th & recital of the proposals a lleged by Parnell in his manifesto to hive been made to him daring his visit to Gladstone at Hawarden last November in regard to the intended proposals with regard to home rule in the event of the Jiberal party winning at the next gencral election, Gladstone declares that no sin- gle suggestion was offered by him 10 Purnell, neither as a formal nor [ an informal one. In conclusion Gladstone says he has always held both in public and private that the national party of Ireland ought to remain entirely in- dependent of the liberal party of Great . Britain, It is their duty and his duty study allthe adjustments in the " great matter of home rule which may tend to draw to their side moderate and equitable men, but for him to propose any meast except such as Ireland could approve on the lines already laid down would be a futility us regards himself and treachery to the Trish nation, in which event, by the side of Parnell, he can claim to take an interest, QThe Pall Mall Gazette says that Parnell in- tends to start for Ircland touight to evade a definite declaration by the Parnellite members of the commons on the question of leadership, When the vote is taken Monaay Parnell will treat the portion of his followers who remain _attached to him as the real Trish party and will cut the deserters off. {::urty»fuur members receive pay through arnell, who retains - absolute control of the funds, Severe Comment on Parnell. Loxnox, Nov. 2.—[Special Cablegram to Tur Bir.]—The Star (home rule), comment- {ng on Parnell's manifesto, says it is the final act of suicide. Its malignant power and un- serupulousness, the deadly mischief of its purpose, and its frigid and calm style, invest With terrible force the spectacle of his death asa great public man. Therels much of hid- oous levity in the document, in which Par- nell wipes his pen across the treaty giving England peace and Ireland home rule. ~ Hap- ily Parnellis but an isolated factor, The Filn party has ite Dillons, O Briens and Healys as well as its Parncll. Until those men meet and _decide upon a rupture of the relations existing between the nationalists and the liberals it is needless to talk of the dissolution of the ties which can never bo dissolved by the act of one man. ‘I'he Pall Mall Gazetto says that the mani- festo s s unscrupulous a document as ever litician_penned. Parnell hits below the clt, it says, but he is fighting for his life. The Freeman’s Journal suys the manifesto fsa terriblo reply to Gladstone's indiscreet and unfortunate lotter to Morley and that iv fulls like a bomb shell upon Parnell's quandam and apparent allie The St. James Gaz “Parnell has one daft. The Gladstoian home rule bble has burst and Parnellstauds revealed s & humbug and sham,” parliament, Michael bavittInterviewed, Loxnox, Nov. 20.—A strong interview with Michael Davitt was printed today. Davitt says Parnell is furious against the majority audin his anger against them 0e’s lotter he runs amuck. Refe ving to Parnell’s denunciation of thepHawar- den proposals Davitt says Parnell now de- clares against cutting down Irish representa- tion at Westminster, but in 1586 he agreed to the clauses of the bill exclnding Irish repre- sintation and retaining fora time imperial control of the police and judiciary, The Ha- warden proposals were as bad when made as now. Why didn't Parnell make an appeal Dbeforel Parnell has shattered the hopes of home rule for years, and tha, too, for per- sonal ends and revenge, just as in 1832 he shattered the land league to get out of Kil- mainbam jail, and was prepared in 1886 to smash his party and debuuch the institu- tions of his country to thrust O'Shea on the Galway electors. The Ir'sh Delegates Silent, CuicaGo, Nov. 20.—The [rish delegates ar- rived iu the city this evening about 6 o'clock. They were met. at Kensington by a large re- coption committee, headed by Mayer Cregier and many other prominent citizens. An As. sociated pross representative showed 10 the dolegates asynopsis of Gladstouo's reply to the Parnell manifesto, Many of them read it carefully in tura, but vefused to make any comment whatever. Mr. Dillon says thut when they give an opinion they wish to do it 48 theunited sentiment of the eutire part; and uatil such time will not speak, Timot Harrington was overbeard to remark, in con- yorsat'on with a friend, referring toGlad- stone's reply: *Too bad ' to have a contra- diction between two such wen and at such a time." o Parnell’s Opponents Confer, Loxpox, Nov, 20.—Healey and Sexton and anumber of other opponents of Parnell held conforence today. Parnell's manifosto has stiffened thoir opposition and they have re- solved to issue acounter manifesto forthwith, This manifesto will bear a fortidable list of signatures, Tho fight between the two fuc- vill bo fought to the bitter end.

John 1. Hawley of This City. The following address was to have been de- livered by General John B, Hawley at the memorial services in honor of the late Judge James W, age at the Omahaclub last Friday evening. Owing to the suddeu ill- ness of the general, however, the address could not be delivered. By special request, the eloquent effort is here reproduced : “Mr. Chairman—It is the wish of every truly honorable and virtuous mau to so live his day of life that, when it 1s ended, he may bo remembered and cherished by te best of mankind, The lifoof every traly noble mat isablessing to the world " while he i in it, and when he has loft it It is one of the heaven given character- istics of man that the living dropat the grave their resentments, and bury them with the 1 beneath the sod; and whatever may have been the estrangements that may have oxisted in life, they are forgotien in the pres- ence of death, that great loveler that sub- dues all races aud conditions of meu. “Theman to whom we pay our tribute of resncet, and upon whose bier we drop the tear of friendship this day, wus tender and loving as a woman. He was loving, high- minded, cultured, able and generous. Age had not weakened or impaired his mental or i rs;and bis poetic tastes and of his imagination were strong hood. Strong in his friend- no drew around him a circle of high minded and_appreciative friends who knew and valued his high qualitios of mind and heart, and_who were to hima constant ald, suport and encouragement. “Judge Savawe was bornof sturdy New England parents, and inherited the cnergy, personality and devotion to duty character- istic of the Puritan race, Ho was a magnifi- cout reprosentative of Puritan thought and independence, blended with all the courtli- ness of the cavalier. His corfipact frame and massive, well developed hoad set squarely upon his shoulders—his expressive face and keen, intelligent. eye, gave assurance of o man of more than ordinary character and- ability, even to the most casual observer, “The period of his manhood covered the most interesting events in our national his- tory. In the great struggle for national exis- tence he was a soldier in the union army, winning fame and high rank in the service. He was o great lawyer and judge, und in both capacitics won high distinction, and his fame will long survive him, “But this is not the place to enter atlength upon his achicvements as a lawy er or judge. He was public spirited and an active par- ticipant and loador in many enterprises for the moral elovation of the inasses of his fel- low citizens, He was untirving in his efforts to do good, and to advance the happiness and prosperity of all who came within reach of hisinfluence. Hehad kind words for all, and always stood ready to aid every zood canse. i “He was an eloquent man and spoke with great eloquence and power when speaking upon a subject that enlisted his feelings and his admiration. This was especially true when speaking of the high character and patriotism of some of the illustrious men of his own times. Nohl{ulul grandly has he served the generation in which he lived, in war and in peace, He did not engage in twar for the loveof it, but that, through it, a last- ing peaco might result, based upon the in- tegrity of the union and the full and equal protection of all classes and conditions of our people, He lived to see the union restored and peace and prospe ity bless the land e had helped to save. His sivord hangs listless in the hall. The hand that wielded it has forgotten its cunning, but the cause in which that sword was drawn has triumphed and shall triumph ever more, “A foe toall forms of vice and immorality, hewas the friend of all that was good and true, and in public end in private life he was the same _true, pure, exalted, ,mlriutu- citi- zen, ever fulfilling his duty and fully meeting the occasion and the expectation of his frionds, “We who gather here, knew him_best in the dail cial relations of life. We saw him and knew him from day to day, when, in 4 great degree, the caros and perplexities of business were laid aside, and when the social, genial qualities of the man were best seen and appreciated. It was in these social rela- tions of friendship that we learned best the breadth and grasp of his mind and _the wide range of knowledge with which it w: stored. ‘“He was most loving, tender and affeotion- ate 1n his relations with us all. When last among us, ho had lost none of that viy and_cheerfuluess of heart that characterizes his intercourse with his friends. _ He was a man most warmly attached to his friends. He looked upon the bright side of 1ifo and was always hopeful of the future, and put forth his own efforts aad eniisted the aid of - others for the public good. He was peculiarly un- selfish, and made his life happy by Lis efforts to bring happiness into the daily life of others. “Tako friendship and the delight in friends from the world, and nothing remains, It I terday holds together communities and nations, Cicero has said of friendship: * “Lhey seem to take away the sun from the world to withdraw friendship from life; for we receive nothing better from the im- mortal Gods, nothing more delightful, ¢ Friendship comprises the groatest num- ber of objects possible; wherever you turn yourself itisat hand: shut out of no place, never out of season, never irksome; and therefore we do not use fire and water as they say on more ojcasions than we do friendship, ***And while friendship embraces very many and great advantages, she undoubt- odly surpasses all in this that she shines with a brilliant hope over the future, and never suffers the spirit to be weakened or to sink. Besides, he who looks on a true friend, looks as it were upon a kind of image of himself; wheretore friends, though absent, are still present; though' in pov- erty, they are rich; though weak, ~yet in the enjoyment of héalth; and what is still more difticult to assert, though dead thoy are alive; so entirely does the honor, tho memory, the regret of friends attend them; from which circumstances, the death of one seems to be happy, and the life of the other praiseworthy ; nay, should you remove the cement of kind feelings, neither a house ora city will be able to stand; even the cultiva- tion of the land will not continue." “*A lover of nature, he communed with her in all her visible forms, and in looking upon ‘this universal frame thus wondrous fair,’ he was led from the contemplation to Him who created all. The gentlo influence of poetry, art and eloquencesoftened and subdued him, and rendered him most susceptible to all the softerand gentler influences that exalt aud purify the soul. While we cherish the memory of our friend, let us endeavor to emulate his vir- tues. May his noble life bea constant inspi- ration to us to better living, and a constant reminder that life does mot’ consist only or chiefly in efforts to accumulate money, but that it should be largely given togood works, to the cultivation of the higher and better part of our nature and tothe cementing of those true friendships, which brighten the chain by which weare bound to our daily round of duties and of labor. *“Our friend belioved in a future life, where the soul, freed from sin, would renew the friendships of earth, that bis feet should tread the highway of Heaven so vividly de- scribed by Milton: A broad and ample road, whose dust Is gold And pavement stones us stars to thee appear Seen In the galaxy, that milky way, Which nU:hh » 48 clreling zone, thou see'st Powder'd with sturs.

Two Men Instfi ing Killed While Attempt- the Track, RAN THEM DOWN IN THE DARK. Mike Spanstant and Rudolph Mellink Meet A Sudden and Horrible Death in the South Part of Town. [ The mangled remains of Mike Spaustant and Rudolph Mellink liz at Heaffy &jHe: undertaking rooms awaiting & corone quest to decide the cause of their doath. Last night about o'clock Spaustant and Meltink visited the B, & M. saloon, run by August Shroat, down near B 's old pack- ing house, south of the Union Pacifiic bridge, aud after drinking quite freely for nearly an hour they started to o home. The saloon stands very close to the railroad track, and as they stepped out into the darkness, considerably under the influence of liquor, & slocle train came thundering by and struck them before they realized their danger. A neighbor named Enscott was with them at the time, buthe sprang off the track and es- caped injury. Spanstant was knocked clear off the track, with the exception of ono foot, and that was cut entirely of. He was bruised about the chest and head, and must have died al- most instantly. He was a_very large man, about forty years old, and has a wifo and four children living not far from the place of the accident. Millick was horribly margled. His neck is broken, there is a deep gash in the front of his head, and his left arm is broken in two places. He is a small man, about tnirty years old, and has a family in (Germany. Both Spaustunt and Melick were laboring men. The lmluc!( will probably be held this afternoon at Heafey's undertaking establish- meat, The names of the enginoer and conductor of the train could not be ascertained last night, as they did not stop when the acci- dent occurred and probably did not know that their train had kalled two men. —— IRXYSH DELEGATES IN CHICAGO, An Immense Audience Accords Them an Enthusiastic Welcome. Cmicaco, Nov, 29.~Ten thousand people assembled in Battery D, and 2,000 more in the Second regiment armory adjoin- ing tonight to see and hear the Irish parlia- mentary delegates, The party wasa most notable ouc. An hour before the speech- making was to begin Bautery D armory was sofullof people that the doors were closed, and the remuinder of the throng turned into the Second regiment armory, where an over- flow meeting was held, Among the promi- nent figures in frontof the audience was Mrs. Parnell, mother of the man at the helm of Irish affatrs. The large list of vice presidents of the mecting represented practi- cally every shade of . Irish n{lmlnn in Chicago, bestdes many promitient citizens not directly identified with thodrish movement. When Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien, O'Connor, Harrington, Sullivan and Gill were escorted to the platform wild cheers broke out and were repeated agajn and again, Mayor Cregier made a brief (speech of welcome and then introduced jJohn Dillon. As that gen- tleman advanced to the front of the stage the cheering broke out. again, and it was im- possible for him to begin speaking for several minutes. Mr. Dillon dwelt at length on tho ' Orish strugeles and the mission of., the declegates to this country. The telliug points in the speech were received with trewiendous enthu- siasm. ! William O'Brien spoke nextand was ac- corded an equally warm recoption, Spealding was then suspended for half an hour, daring whigh contributidis were re- ceived by tellers appointed to canvass the andience. Besides 4 great mass of small con- tributions fifteen or twenty citizens handed in amounts ranging from $100 to £500. Messrs. O'Connor, Harrington, Sullivan and Gill then spoke, after which resolutions, the substance of which follow, were intro- duced and adopted with great cheers. The resolutions, which were quite lengthy, elcome the Irsh delegates, speak in eulo- ic terms of their work, and pledge the mbly to the cause of home rule for the Irish people. Touching on the all-absorbing question of time, the resolutions say : ‘“While conscious that the cause of home rule is by no means dependent upon any indi- vidual, we should be untrue to ourselves and tothe justice of the cause if we failed to recognize the splendid s es of Charles Stewart Parnell. The Irish people owe him a debt of gratitude which can ver be fully paid. When all scemed dark- and doupt he sounded the tocsin which called into action an army of resolute and heroic men, who, for more than ten long years, have stood with absolute singleness of purpose, unquestioned purity and patriotic fervor almost without parralel in the world's history. They won for'the first time in the century the attention of Kngland and the at- tention of the world. They went to jail, and behind the bars proved more potent than their jailer, In the crisis presented at this moment it does not become us to attempt to dictate to the Irvish people as to their course. ‘We recognize that ther are wupon the immediate field of action, with infinitely better opportunities for forming judgment than is presrnted to us. ‘The claim of Ireland’s right to home rule presumes the capacity of the people of Ire- land for self-government. Hence, to them and their authorized representatives we leave all questions of policy and leadership, promi- sing lasting and hearty support to their judg- ment and choice. It is our earnest hope that with calmness, forbearance and exceeding wisdam they will so order the affairs of the Irish parlinmentary party as to silence all discord, and that, hand in hand with the great common people of England, they may move to the victory which surely awaits them in the near future.*’ The meeting then adjourned. The overflow meeting in the Second regi- ment armory was almost an_exact duplicate of the big meeting, Judge Moran presiding, Each of the delegates spode briefly there and resolutions were put and adopted with great unanimity.

An- other thing is, the tally sheet showed that only 113 votes had been cast, while there wore 1143 ballots in the box. 'You can s that T am in the race and I am going 0 sta tothe finish, Idonot consider yesterday primarya fair voicing of the voters in ward, and T am going to run on the demo- cratié ricket.” Socond Ward—There were more candidates in the Second than in-any other ward. The contestants were Peter Elsusser, William Hay, Edwarl Ainscow and Josoph Hopp. Blocmer, Hascall and_Kennedy got one voto each.
