THE IRISH QUESTION.

LORD SALISBURY ON THE SITUATION. London, Dec. 8. At a Conservative banquet in the city last night the Marquis of Salisbury delivered a speech, in which he welcomed the important cooperation of the Marquis of Hartington with reference to the Irish question, and pointed out that the Unionist Liberals were gradually increasing in number. He declared that the Irish people wore being deceived, and that only the stern enforcing of the law would undeceive them. [Special Telegrams.] ' London, Dec. H. Fifteen hundred leading Unionists attended the conference upon Irish affairs. i Lords Derby and Selborne, Mr Goschen and Sir G. O. Trevelyan spoke in support of Lord Hartington. Mr Chamberlain wired that there could be no re-union of the Liberal party until the policy pursued by Mr Gladstone was abandoned. Mr Bright wrote that there was no hope of a moderate policy from Mr Gladstone. Lord Hartington denied that there was any sympathy between the English democracy and the anarchist policy of the Land League. The Press declares that the conference will greatly encourage the Government in the position it has taken up with regard to Ireland.
