NOTES OF THE CONFLICT

Indication of an Agreement Among the Irish Leaders. London, Jan. 24.—McCarthy, who returned from the Boulougne conference to-day, said everything was harmonious, and he had great hope of a speedy and amicable settlement. The Marquis of Hartington, in reply to inquiries concerning the contradition between the views of Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Derby and other Unionists, who declared home rule is dead, writes to-day: "The contradiction is more apparent than real. Home rule may be dead as a practical policy, and as far as it ever possesses any chance of the country accepting it in a definite form, but political necessity to specially retain the Irish Nationalists' support may compel Gladstone's followers for a long time to include it in their policy." Lord Derby writes: "My speech was intended to warn the Unionists against being unduly sanguine."

Dublin, January 24.—Archbishop Walsh has written a letter to the Freeman's Journal in reply to statements made by that paper in connection with the Archbishop. The Archbishop says it is not a question whether English or Irish opinion is to decide the leadership, but the question is as to whether Pamell is morally fit to lead the Catholics. To this the Journal retorts by remarking that Parnell's business with Ireland is only political. The Insuppressible, a newspaper started in this city as a rival of United Ireland, and upon the supposition that Wiliiam O'Brien would assume editorial control of its columns, has stopped publication. The Irish Catholic says the formation of a new national organization to replace the discreditect National League is nearly concluded. Paris, January 24, —The Siecle announces that Wiliiam O'Brien has received home rule guarantees on the part of Gladstone and colleagues sufficient to satisfy Parnell's conditions upon which he consents to retire.
