Oct. 18.-Spcvlul [ CublcKWin to TUB IUi : : , | At the meeting of the Northern consiTvntlvo union at N'owcastlo today Mr. Balfour renewed his attack on Mr. John Morley , who , ho said , had assiulcd him with the charge of absenteeism from his post , Ig noring the fact that whllo ho ( .Mr. Morley ) was chief secretary for Ireland for six months ho was m Ireland precisely five days , Heferrlngto the Tippcrary trouble , Mr. Bnl- four denied that any principle of hi\v \ or common sense had been violated In the appointment of Mr. Shannon ns ono of the Judges to try Messrs. Dillon and O'Hrlcii and the other de fendants. When the Holfast rlot.s occurred the resident magistrates whom Mr. Morley had appointed were repeatedly rolled up to adjudicate cases with which they had Just previously dealt In their executive capacity , in regard to the collision between thu police ami the mob nt Tlppcrnry , Mr. Halfoursnld there was the usual conlHctlng evidence. The evidence showed that Colonel Ciiddell , who had charge of the pollco nt Tippcniry , know ing the dangerous character of the mob , was perfectly Justified In moving It on. Within the court gates no more force was used by the pollco to prevent the ingress of the crowd than was absolutely necessary. The conduct of the crowd was such that it was Impoasiblo for the pollco to refrain Irom using some force. It was quite plain that Mr. Morley wan too much carried nwny by political passion to bo an Impartial witness. Mr. Morlcy had misquoted Colonel Cnddell nnd had grossly misrepresented some of Ins arguments , Comparing the positions of the two men , he was cortnlu tha , all Kngliihiiu'n would feel that the part acted in the trial by Colonel Cnudcll was ono that they would rather have acted than the part played by Morlcy. Lot the people compare Mr. Mor- ley's statements with the facts of the case and then say whether they wore willing to trust the Interests of the loyal minority In Ireland to the party with which Mr. Morlcy was in alliance.

At the final minting of the conference committees of the pastor and elders held this afternoon , pa pers , answers , petitions and statements were submitted by the pastoral committee that caused a commotion. Pastor Williams' nn- swcrto the specific charge made against him is a lengthy document admitting a major portion tion of the alleged accusations and further explaining his legal grounds for his course. A bomb that caused consternation nnd pro found dismay anne In the shnpo of n voluminous document , signed by nearly one hundred of the ladles of the church who were said to have withdrawn because they were opposed to tlio pastor. The document says this is untrue. Thcro are not more than six ladies among the opposition who were at uny tlmo connected with tiny of the ladies' societies. ' 'Furthermore , " say the ladles , "some of them wcro bitter opposers of some of the ciders nti the ground of the unfltness of said ciders to minister in holy things , and nt leastone of said ciders plays cards arid dances publicly during the week and distributes the elements nt the com munion service of the church on SmiOny. Said Indies are now upholding those elders , whom they denounced a year ago as unlit to perform the sncred duties of their oflieo as elders.1' Another paper , signed by 231 adherents of the pastor , was a great surprise to the elders.
