London, March 17. A Paris correspondent to the News says: Prince Napoleon went to Rome to counsel King Humbert on the dangers of Dreibund to the house Savoy and to advocate a plan for Duchess Duzes to have Prince Naples marry Princess Helena of Orleans instead of Princess Letitia, whom the Duchess destined for Duo d'Orleans. Prince Napoleon gave copies of his will and memoirs to several trusted friends in order to prevent tampering, and ordered that the memoirs should not be published during the lifetime of Eugene. Prince Napoleon's memoirs established by written evidence the fact that he never did agree with Napoleon III, even on the day following the disavowal of the Ajaccia speech; that he always remained a Frenchman and had nothing in view but the interests of France at the time of the Italian affair. The memoirs include the Prince's correspondence with Napoleon III up to the time of the latter's death. ss The Sacrament was too Late. discretionary power to refuse such exchanges when deemed necessary for the beet interests oa the government On the last exchange charge of four cents per tlOO was imposed, out as thia rate does not seem to deter the shipment of government gold, the treasury department decided to discontinue exchange altogether for the present . -A Stormy Count!! Meetfnar London, March 17. The stormy scene which occured at the meeting of the county council tonight was occasioned by Davies asking the council to suspend the open in? of the Waterloo park by the Prince of Wales, pending the outcome of the Cummins; baccarat case. The request met with cries of "order," "sit down." etc. During the uproar Councilman Burns was heard to exclaim: "He would be better employed there than in gambling." The chairman declined to interfere. Bismarck's Position. Berlin, March 17. It is less than a year ago that the Empevor quarreled with Bismarck because the chancellor had had an interview with Dr. Wind-thorwithout the imperial sanction. This week there has been some talk that Bismarck would return to publio life. It is doubtful whether, if he were elected member of the Reichstag he would take his seat. In the present condition of parties he could not hope to rally around him a compact body of supporters. Even if he succeeded in doing bo it would be impossible tor him to compel the em peror to restore him to power, and the position of an ordinary private deputy would not suit the statesman who has played so great a part in his country's mstory.

A number of extra enth uaiastic admirers scrambled on top of the cars and yelled. cheered and waved un Ul the train start ing suddenly threw several upon the tracks and platform. Two or three were seriously injured and they had to be taken to the hospital. Several others were badly cut and bruised. Previous to the departure of the train the executive committee of the radical association presented an addres to Gladstone in which it stated the association waa hopeful ot a brilliant triumph for Gladstone and his follower in the coming elections, but the turmoil prevailing in the depot waa ao great Gladstone was utterly unable to say a word in reply. nuouiu iriu ia wnicn uiaustone wa traveling flopped at Turn bridge Kent, a large crowd assembled there. Gladstone replied to addresses presented to mm. xie assured men that whatever measure of home rule waa proposed, it spirit and basi would be unchanged from those of the former one, that it would be compatible with English honor and would bring peace and contentment to Ireland and life to the union. Upon his arrival at Hastings Gladstone received another ovation. The street were brilliantly decorated with buntimr and the veteran parliamentarian was welcomed in truly royal style. In reply to the address at Hastings Gladstone said be found little to blame in Lord Salisbury' foreign policy during recent years, out added that he condemned the policy of Goechen, chancellor ot the exchequer, in concocting fic titious surpluses and concealing the real expenditure from parliament in order to manufacture a satisfactory budget Alluding to the Irish parliamentary party, Gladstone said PaxnelTi Speech in which be said be had opposed the claims or labor candidates in England in consequence of obligations was under to the liberal leaders, wns absolutely un.rue so far na he (Gladstone) was concerned.

The Liberals, added the veteran statesman, bad arrived at a definite conclusion ia regard to ParnelL He (Gladstone) was merely a reporter of the general conviction that the party was against Parnell. The Liberals were ready to face defeat, exclusion, misfortune, but they were not prepared to create constitutional leadership for Ireland under such guidance as Pamell's. Cheers. In conclusion Gladstone express! the opinion that it was the duty of the Liberals to prosecute this great and patriotic purpose, and to obtain justice for Ireland knowing that by courageous application of Liberal principles they would secure union of the classes, dominion of the law, and Cheers. stability of the crown. Gladstone also made an address in the Gaiety theater. He expressed entire confidence in the future of liberalism.. He pointed out, with regard to the Irish members, that each had entered parliament subject to a pledge that, on every question affecting Ireland, the minority should sacrifice its own opinions and with the majority. Every member of the Irish party from the leader downward was bound by that pledge. It was true that in October imi, he denounced rarnell in the severest terms, whereas tor several years past he had been in active with him. He had denounced him because Parnell before then, on more occasions than one, had used language dangerous to the empire respecting the total separation of Ireland and because Parnell bitterly opposed the land act upon which the Liberals relied on as a great instrument for Irish grievances. When home rule was introduced in the house it was frankly and magnanimously adopted by the Irish party. The plan was bused on twin ideas of first, handing over to Ireland, full, efficacious, control of her local affairs, and second, maintaining equally full, efficacious, imperial control of those affairs. "If any fresh plan of home rule is proposed, aa I trust it may be," continued Gladstone, "I hope it will be founded on rigid fidelity to this basis, neither of which can be justifiably separated from the other. si:id: Parnell 'It may recently be time to think ot Tory allies. They played that game once and it did not answer. Tory conscience does not care much about home rule, it is not in Try intellect' " After divers revelations, said Gladstone, the Liberals decided they could not place the constitutional lcaderbhip in Pamell's hands. That is final. They are ready to face defeat, exclusion from power, and political mmfortune, but will not create a constitutional leadership for Ireland under such guidance.
