-, Lokdon, May 12.- -A political mooting wis
bold nt tlio city residence of Mr. Joseph Cham-
, berlsln to-doy. Hlxty mombors of tho House of
" Coramonslwero'prosont "Mr. Chamberlain ox-
nlolned tlio renewal of his activity ngalnst Mr-
II Gladstone's Homo llule bill by saying that lia
bad boon clenrly Informod on Inst Saturday
' that tbo l'romlor wan propnrod to oxpungo
J from tlio measure tho clnuso excluding Irish
it representatives from sitting at Wostmlnstor.
nJ thus maintain tho unity of tho onmlro. a
II deslrod by tho Hadlcnls. Mr. Chamberlain do
ll dared that now nothing short of tho with-
.div drswalot tlio Homo Itulo bill would restore uni
ty amoiic tho Liberals.
Tho mooting unanimously ndoptod resolu
tions doelarlns that thoso presont would do tho
utmost In tholr power to oppose tho Govern
ment's Irish bills, as thoro was no hopo that
the mensures would bo nmondod In a way to
make thorn aecoptnblo to tho followors of Mr.
Chamberlain.
Mr. Calne, Liberal, mombor for Barrow-ln-Furness.
said tlmt 102 Llbernl members havo
promised to Toto against tho Homo Itulo bill,
and that thoro aro 34 other Liberal momliors
who aro undocldod as to what courso to pursuit
toward It My. Calne also Bald that tlio Gov
ernment's nctlon on Monday In not conceding
the retention of Irish roprosontntlon caused
many Llborals who had Intondod to vote with
the Government to chnneo tholr minds.
Mr. Trovelynn maintained that homo rulo
was not feaslblo and was opposed to tho spirit
Mr. Colilngs and others donouncod tho
proisuro lmposod upon tho opponents of tho
bill. It was apparent, ho said, that tho Liberal
Essoclatlou's support of Mr. Uliidstono was to
e attributed tonsuddon burst of generosity.
I Calm roilootlon would oompol tho Libornls to
' confess tlmt tbo socedcrs wore acting In tho
best Interests of tho Liberal party.
J The mooting lasted two hours. It was unnn-
j Imously ngreod that some sort of autonomy
T3 should be grantod to Ireland, but on a basis
different from that on which Mr. Gladstone's
scheme is founded.
It is said that tbo Loyalists in Llstor aro con
1 ceiling arms, fearing that Mr. Morley. Chief
Secretary for Ireland, will ordortho police to
disarming the people.
A loadlne English Liberal has subscribed
111)0 to nld in buying arms for the Ornngomnn
at Armiub, Drill clubs are being formed by
the Armagh Loyalists. , ,.
Mr. Chamberlain wrltos to the Belfast Lib
eral Association that the ordinary Englishman
hardly recognizes at present the fact that thero
are two nations in Ireland, nnd that whon ho
does he will seo that It would bo us unfair to
forco tho Ulster Trotestnnts to submit to tho
Catholic Nationalists as to expect the latter to
accept without appeal the views of Englishmen
and Scotchmen.
At a mooting of tho London nnd Counttos
Liberal Union resolutions wore adopted favor
ing the main principles of tho Homo llulo bill.
Several amendments which wore proposed
were noisily rejected.
Mlehaol Davltt doclarod to-dny that ho would
, rouse tho motnbers of tho National Lenguo in
! Ireland and America it Gladstone yielded to
Chamberlain's demands for tho modlllcatlon
of the Home Itulo bill. In roference to the op
position of the peoplo of Ulster to homo rulo.
Mr. Davltt said scornfully: " Loavo thorn alono
to us. Wo will mako short work of these gen
try. Thoy aro not lrlshmon. but only English
and Beotcbmsn who havo settled among us. It
would be an absurdity to allow them to dlctato
to IrUhmen as to bow Ireland should bo gov
erned. Tho Nationalists will wago war to the
Ji death against any bill which does not subject
Ulster to the rulo of tho statutory Parliament
at Dublin."
A petition, slgnod by 30.000 women of Ulster
. has been handod In at the Homo Ofllco. It is
addressed to tho Queen, and beseeches her to
withhold her assent from any Home Itulo bill
which may bo passed. Tho first throe signa
tures to the petition aro thoso of tho DucIiosb
of Aborcorn. the wife of Bishop Knox, and Mrs.
Henderson of Norwood Tower. Bolfost, and
thoy represent respectively tho nobility, tho
Church, and the people.
Ministerialists say that an important con
cession will be announced initio House of
Commons to-morrow. The amendment will.
It is said, provido lorn full representation of
Irnland In the British Parliament, to vote on
foreign questions, the budget, nnd customs
and excise measures. The Itadlcal seccders
will bo contented with nothing short of regular
representation of Ireland.
Lord Hartington Is ready to form a Ministry
of moderates. Lord Salisbury has promised
bis support, although no Conservatives will
join Lord Hartington's Cabinet. It is oxpoctod
that Mr. Trovelynn will join Lord Hartington.
but that Mr. Chamberlain will bold aloof.
Mr. Gladstone's supporters threaton to bring
about a dissolution of Parliament, but It Is
certain that the (Jueon would refuse hor assent
to dissolution under tho present prospect of
the defeat of the Home llule bill.
Mr. Labouobere, addressing a meeting of his
constituents to-night, said he had Mr. Parnoll's
authority for denying the statement that the
Nationalist memborsof Parliament would not
support tbo Home llulo bill If an amendment
wore Introduced providing for the retention of
Irish representatives at Westminster. The
speaker hlmselt favored Irish representation
in the imperial Parliament.
The inlstako of striking the fortunes of homo
rule for Ireland upon the porsonnl alms and
ambitions of Mr. Glndstono. which has beon
pointed out and Insisted upon In The Sun's
despatches from the beginning, is now appar
ent to everybody. The attendance at Mr.
Chamberlain's meeting to-day was unexpect
edly largo, nnd showed tho existence of a much
strongor force ngalnst the socotid reading of
the bill than was concoded by the liberal esti
mate given by Mr. Lnbouchnrn on Saturday,
and tho determined opposition of tho Scottish
Kadlcals and tho Ulster Protestants contlnuos
an element of tncrenslng hostility.
Mr. Chamberlain. In a letter to TtieSun'b
correspondent, frankly admits his beliof in tho
right of tho people of Ulster to resist the sot
ting up of a statutory Parliament In Dunlin by
force of arms. He treats the case of Ulsior as
being parallel with tho cases of West Virginia
and eastern Tonnossoe In tbo American con
test for State sovereignty.
It is impossible to rpni.it tho forco of the ac
cumulated evidenco that Mr. (ihidstono's hand
ling of the Irish quostlon has needlessly
aroused tho dangerous passions of the Scottish
and English non-conformists nnd alionated the
sympathies of the advanced English Demo
crats, in spite of the loyal efforts of Mr. Davltt
to support Mr. Parnell with the English work
Ingmen. over whom Davltt has moio iufluenco
tbnn any other Irishmnn. , .
Tho second reading of tho Land Purchaso
bill has been postponed until Monday noxt, nnd
it will probably bo further deferred.

tho wharf a boat put off from the Govern
ment ship Lnnsdowno. Whon it hnd reached
hailing dlstanco Capt Bcottot tho Lnnsdowno
shou'od.to Capt Klnnoy on tho dock of tho

tho papers of tho David J. Adams, which Capt
Kinney bad takon with him after the vessol
had boon seized by Capt Scott's men. Capt Kln
noy shouted bnok that ho would Bee Capt Scott
InSheol boforo ho would surrondor to him his
ship's papers. As Boon as the Bteamor touch
od the wharf another ofllcorot the Lanndowno
onme on bonrd and mado tho same domand.
Consul-Oonornl Phetan, representing tho
United States Government, was there, and ho
told Capt Kinney to keop his papers, whloh ho
did. There was no attempt to take forcible
possession o! thorn. Consul-Gonoral Phelan
this aftornoon took Capt Ktnney'n ofllelal
statement ot tho seizure, which ho will sond to
Washington. It Is ns follows:
"Wonrrlvnd In Dlgby basin on Wodnosday
night nt 0 o'clock nnd laid at a placo called
Orauvlllo till 0 o'clock tho noxt morning, when
wo got under way and started to loavo tbo
basin. Tho wind leaving us whon wo got out
stdo about ono mile, tho flood tide brought
us back again. After wo got Into tbo
basin ngaln wo sailed around to different pnrts
till about 4 o'clock on Friday morning, when
we started to again leave tho basin. Shortly
after getting undor way wo saw a boat coming
toward us from a Bteamur lying opposito
Dlgby. which Intter appeared to be tho
Eansdowno's boat It camo alongstdo of us
aftor we hadprocoodeda milo and n half. Tho
First Odleor of tho Lnnsdowno wns In tho
boat, and at once nsked our bailing port our
name, tho owner's nnmo, the nnmo of tho Cap
tain, and what wo were there for. I answered
his questions and ho wont away, apparently
sntlslled. Then wo again procoednd on our
courso. but failed to got out of :tbo
basin. Tho wind leaving us, wo drifted nn to
tho west shore nn hourbofore low water. Thoro
wo lay for two hours, whon wo lloatod again,
nnd tho tide brought us bnck, Into tho basin,
whoro wo were again hnilod by the llrst
ofllccr of tho Lnnsdowno. who camo
aboard, and, going below, soarched our
cargo, as ho said. In nccordunco with
tho orders of tho Captain. When ho returnod
on deck ho said he had round herring on bonrd
and Inquired now old thoy were. I told him
they wore ten days old. which I considered
thnv were by tholr size. Ho thon re
turned to the Eansdowne, nnd returned
shortly aftor with n man whom, I sup
pnso, was Capt Daken, who also examined
the enrgn, and thon tbo boat and officers re
turned to tho Lnnsdowno. Then tho same of
floor and crow that first bonrdod us camo back
and said wo would be delayed for somo tlmo.
and ordered us to Dlgby. and to anchor us near
tho Lansdowne as possible, Wo oboved tho
order, and the schooner was placed, in charge
of tbo second;olTlcer and live mon armod with
revolvors and cutlasses. Wo were ordered to
lower our sails and await the orders of Cnpt
Scott, who was to investlgnto our case. About
four hours later Capt Scott himself camo
nboard and examined our cargo, aftor which
ho seized tbo vessel in tho (Jueon's
nnmo for violation of the ilshory
laws. I do not romembor tbo oxact
ianguogo used by him. No reslstanco was
made. He then road to us his regulations that
wo would bo allowed to go ashore hero or go to
St. Johns. I camo ashore to seo tho Consular
agent hore. but did not find him, after which I
returned to the Lnnsdowno and informod Capt
Scott that I could not find tho Consul, nnd
proforrod to go to St. John. He said he would
start the noxt morning, and thnt I and my
orew might stay aboard of tho schooner, which
we did. tho vessel remnining under the care ot
the armed orew from the Lansdowne. I again
In tho evening camo ashore and saw
Consular Agent Stewart, and nsked; for
Instructions regarding the course to bo
pursued. Ho ndvisnd mo to go to
St. John, which we did tho following day.
After remaining In St. John four days I receiv
ed Instruction to return to Dlgby and
report to the Consul-Gonornl. I dony
having purchased or caught any bnlt
for tho purpose of fishing in English
wators or navlng concealed tho nnmo ot the
schoonor. Of courso thero is n possibility that
a ploco of canvas may havo ben ovor tho ruil
covoring a portion of tho vossol'a namo, but It
wns not placed thero Intontlonnlly."
Commander Soott roltornted his conviction
of tbo guilt of Cnpt. Klnnoy. and said tbo lat
ter simply lied whan ho denied purchnslng
bait. In reply to tho question as to whother
he had received any dellntte instructions
regarding tho making of furthor seizures,
or whether It wns the Intention of
the Canndlan authorities to await further de
velopments In tho present case bofore proceed
ing to tho brlnglDg of now ones. Cnpt. Scott
said: " Tbo seizure of tho Adams will make no
difference whatever. If I bad a chance to seize
half n dozen more vessels to-night I would do
so without the least hesitation,"
Consul-General Phelan characterizes this
latest procedure as noting short ot trifling by
the Canndinnri with tho affairs of a great nn
tlon " For," says he. " havo thoy not hold this
vesejol since Friday without offering our
Govornmont nny explanation whatever? I
sont a communication to Capt Scott yesterday
morning, asking him to explain the Intost turn
of affairs, but ho gave no satisfactory response.
1 asked Collnotor Vlets on what grounds the
customs authorities bold tbo vessel, and
hoi replied: 'Violations of tho oustoms laws,
empownrlng a ponalty of 1400, nnd she was
hold for that sum ?' How can theio conflicting
contentions be reconciled ? On one Bldo tho
assertion Is that the Adams Is confiscated for
violation of the fishery laws, and on the other is
tho statement thnt she was seized for infringe
ment of customs regulations ?"
All the satisfaction Mr, rholnn could obtain
from Cant. Scott wns that tho latter roforrod
the Consul to tho Ottnwa authorities.
Shorilt Van ISInreom has recnived from nail
fax tho writ against tho David J, Adams, bring
ing the caso before the VIco-Admlralty Court
In that city. The document Is one ot tho
greatest Importance.
It snys that the action is for tho forfeiture of
the vessel nnd hor cargo for violation of tho
treaty of 1818. and ot various acts of the Brit
ish Parliament nad of acts or tho Parliament of
tho Dominion of Canada ot 16C8. 1870. 1U71, and
