Heanes have been thicker than hacks

the last services have been rendered the
dead, and soothing relief extended to all
the great lufferers In yesterday's horri?

criticism! are indulged In of the fact
that the Oovernmenl continued to use
the old building after the first condem?
nation, but the fact remains that sup?

Peile? of * o?. ranon.
LONDON, June lO.-The culmination of
the long-pending trouble between Tim
Healy and Thomas Sexton has been a
godsend to the Government Tha ex?
citing scenes in the conference of the
Irish Parliamentary party on Kriday and
Mr. Sexton's subsequent retirement from
his seat for North Kerry have so ills
tracted the attention of in,h mo-ahm
that <Tiey have little time to ,.
tests against Mr. Gladstone's recent con.
cession to the Unionists. Had it not ben
for this diversion an Immediate open re
voil in the Irish ranks against tho Uoy
ernments policy would have bteo un?
avoidable. Justin HcCertby, leader <>f
the entl-PernelUtee, steted th" eeee pl lin?
ly In an Interview with th* Premier Just
before the coafereooe met lie told Mr
Qledetone thu ti.,, discontent of "th.*
Irish members had be. n roused to tho
point at which the leaden had become
powerless to preeerve discipline unless tba
Government should give the most explicit
assurances that no further concessions
to the Unionists would be male.
The specific can?.* of this potential re?
volt is the number of amendment! to
clause 3 of the Home Bule bin. which
have b.*en accept-d by Mr. GI ids Vue
from Unionist member-!. Nine sucb
amendments to the limit rowets of tho
Dublin Legislature have be..n oooeoie4
Cine ot the nine ? . ,inst
the votes of leventy-four Irishmen.
Most of the IriFh member! attribute the
repeated yielding of the fltniliunssg ta
it! enemies to a mere koch ot beckheoo
A few, however, go 10 far as to suspect
treachery within the Cebtnel In a for?
mal consultation with Ministers In the
lobby the Irish leaders have ur>;ed tho
argument that as the Home Pule bill la
the outcome of a definite igreeoocot be?
tween them nnd the tUrr* ramon! no alter?
ation! ouifht to be mad.- bv the Ministers
without their tlrst seeking the assent of
the Nationlsts. This orgumool states tia
Justin McCarthy was commissioned by
his colleagues to tell Mr. ill.list' ii" wfh
special emphasis, and he dbl pe. In reply
to the warning that th" acceptance f
further Unionist amendment! would be
the signal for Irish hostilities, Mr. (Had*
stone authorized Mr. McCarthy to t II
the conference that gOCttlVQ BB lOUfef
WOlil'l be adopted tO Close Hie C ?! ll III i'. t "S
stage of the bill by th" mi.Idle of July.
How the Premier propose! to do this to
the extinction of Unionist obit ruction he
did not say. He also avoided giving any
assurances concerning th" aceeptanc f
future amendment! from tii<. Unioetote.
Mt. HcCerthy'i rep.,rt of his coot* i*
ip.n with th.* Premier wns received with
some demonstrations of ffi-tempOT by the
eoofl renee, mid a majority of members
?xpreeoed themeelvei as fevoring ho*
mediate meoouroi to compel thi Govern?
ment to eel without delay lu conformity
with explicit eaaUTOOcee. They also em?
phasized the n< lir Qledetone'!
acting, ns previously, in cloee concert
with thc Irish leaders-that ls, with ac?
cepting the dictation of th* Nationalist!
as to the ; ?,? of the Home Rule
bill. Mr. McCarthy promised to Inform
Mt. Gladstone of the sentiment of the
