A committee of three, not including Mr Parnell, intend to wait on Mr Gladstone to obtain a satisfactory assurance regarding the control of the land and police by the future Parliament of Ireland.

LONDON, December 5. (Received December 6, 1890, at 11 a.m.) At a meeting of the Irish party violent scenes took place, Mr Parnell and Mr Healey mutually insulting one another. It was Mr Parnell, and not Mr Sexton, who moved that a committee be appointed to ascertain the views of Mr Gladstone, Mr Morley, and Sir W, V. Harcourt. Mr Parnell, in speaking to the motion, said that Mr Gladstone stood unrivalled as a sophist, and that during the last decade he was unable to extract one single straightforward answer from him. Mr Healey said it was shameful for Mr Parnell to persist in insulting' Mr Gladstono. A number of Mr Parnell's friends and foes consider that he has won a decided victory.

At the meeting the collapse of the mission of Messrs O'Brien and Dillon in America was admitted. MR GLADSTONE'S ULTIMATUM. TjONDON, Dkoembkb 5.
