That in Itself li a great Advniitngc. It would bo miraculous it the long nnd dcsmrnto | light for Ills removal could not now bo thrown over Into next week , nnd , us the house will probably adjourn on Tues day or Wednesday , the main liattlo oni then bu transferred to Ireland. Kvcnts am follow ing exactly Ino course foreshadowed In my previous dispatches. This morning the com mittee appointed to wultupon Mr. Gladstone obtained aulntcrvlew and found the old man very wary and suspicious. Ho more thin suspected the trap , and had all his guards out. Ho took preliminary objection to tbo wording of the resolution carried by the meeting yesterday , raising a question of con troversy between I'arneli's veracity and his own. Ho said ho would not ho drawn Into luch a conflict. This presented n harrier to any further negotiation aud the committee hnd no alternative but to return and report 11 chccK to the Irish party. Another meeting wus summoned ntul held without clcla ) in room 15. 'Jho obnoxious words were ex punged from the resolution ami tbo deputa tion Instructed to seek another Intunloiv with Gladstone. Me.mwhilo Gladstone remained in the house , talking to Harcourt nnd Morluy. I understand that Harcourt is strongly opposed to his entering Into any further negotiations on imy terms \vlintuvcr. Morley win .fur try ing nil that could be donu to effect n coin- prondso. I'nrnoll eaino Into the bouse and sat down between Harrington and Flt/ccrald. They bad n bench all to themselves , for none of the nnll-I'arni'llists appeared. The leader ( coined to bo reading the Irish hind purchase bill , which was then under consideration , but ho convened freely with. Harrington. Brisk efforts wore now belni ; nude to draw Gladstone Into another meet- In B , but hu seemed to fcol steel traps all around him , und acted cautiously. Morley went backwards and forwards sev eral times , ono of his communications being received by Gladstone with emphatic snakes of bis ncad , whllo Ilarcouit gcstuied in an nxcitcd manner. Parncll sat supremely in different to the movement , never unco con descending to cast a glance towards them. Another meeting of the Irish p.irty was called for 1)o'clock ) UwiKht , but subsequently Arthur O'Connor ' informed mo it was post poned till lli tomorrow , as they could not got pledges from Gladstone as to the constabu lary and land question In tlmo to discuss it tills evening , i gathered from other mem bers of thu party that they had neb much coiilldcncetii arriving at u settlement by thu road tlioy wore now pursuing. Friend I'lirnell bus assured me that his r.ido was perfectly satisfied with the state of affairs. Two of the opposition soon after expressed - pressed themselves to mo us not very lionef ul or confident. Tlioy quite agreed with mo when 1 remarked thut the greatest str.ito- Ktstnf tbo week had been I'aruell , "Hols a , genius , " s.iid ono of them warmly , but this Bor.tluman IH determined to throw genius overboard If ho can matmgo It.

[ Special Cablegram to TIIK BKE. ] Tbo Pnll Mall Giuotto says : Ivlr. Gladstouo has viewed tbo late develop- incuts in Iho political situation with pain and surprise. The llpht that Varncll has thrown on his character nnd bis resolve to lling put- rlotlsm to the winds rather than yield a per- tioniil quustlon Is only less astonishing than thocaso with which ho forced , upon his party sldo Issues on which patriots now repair to him to liclp them out or a difllculty which - only their own vacillation mtulo possible. The question was oiliinnlly whether they should or should not on personal grounds cliooso unother lender.

Ko such decision has been arrived at. It Is two that wo have x'ostponed the liobUtifj ot n number of meetings which had been arranged for. This wns done clilclly because to have held thorn would li.ivo necessitated tbo separation of the party , which was deemed unadvlsnblo under exist ing conditions. Furthermore , wo felt that If v.'o held them we would bo obliged to spoalc of matters concerning vthlfhvo deemed It advisable to remain silent for tha present.

Hooper's cablegram also pressed fern n further expression o.v the Irish envovs In America for the people's guidance. In re sponse , after consultation with his conferees , O'Brien sent a cablegram sayinpr that nil solur opinions heio were overwhelmingly with Mm and his mileages ; tli.it there was not a slnglo daily throughout the United Stntcs but tint agund with them that Glnd- ( stono'CRood faith Is unlmpair.iblu ; that n disruption of the liberal allinnco means de struction , and that If the Irish party comes ton prompt decision the Irish cause will oo- cup.x n morn Impregnable position than ever. "UnlMs something linrnrtnni occurs , " said Mr. Dillon , "wo may go to Now York soon , It will bo more convenient for us to wait there , as wo hnvo important business tc transact in that city.

The delivery boy hid led the horse out of tbo barn to water. While drinking , the animal became frichtcned at something and broke away from the boy and got out on the street. Just an a motor came spinning along the old horse attempted to cross the tracks , but his years nnd rhumatlsin prevented him potting out of the way in tlmo. The motor struck him and inflicted injuries that caused his death. The motor was also scratched and the railing on thu front platform was knocked off. off.When When Mrs.Bohnlng [ presented her billfoi the value of ttio horse the motor company re fused to pay , claiming that the sum fixed as the value of the horse was too largo , Several days are ; Mrs. Bohnlng begun suit in Justice Sohurz court for the recovery of 800 , Avhlch she swore was the value of the horse tohei and her buslnos.

A jury was accordingly drawn and a hot legal but tle was fomrht. The motor company admitted the killing oJ the horse but dented every other allegation ol the plaintiff , and sot up a counter claim of 10 fordamasros sustained to the motor. In their petition the motor people nllego that Mrs. Ilohnlng "wrongfully permitted ant allowed the horse to run at largo In vlolatior of the city ordinances , " and that the horse maliciously and feloniously got Into thowa-y of the motor and damaged it to the extent oj ! < ) , and that thasaid ntnonn > * < < still duo ant wholly unpaid.
