LONDON June 80 1915
FRIEND GKEELEY Great excitement has pre-
allied in Paris during the past week as you VIII
hear from the papers Tie belief among the 10y
alists here is that a Republic cannot be sustained
in France It was so hinted IN the House Of
Lords few nights ago by Earl Grey. All feel a
most intense interest in the turn Of affairs IN Pans.
The clements are growing feryid all over Europe
aud it is feared that the fever will run SO high that
the old practice of p severe depletion will be re-
sorted So. Every effort is made in this country 10
prevent the fever by adopting the starya alton sys-
tenn which so far seems to prevent the circulation
of vigorous disease 10 any great extent. All pub
lie meetings have been declared unlawful, and
most stringent measures are adopted to prevent
them. The tryant however, has triumphed The
masses are crushed. aud sullen calm prevails
throughout the whole realm.
The greatest excitement is in Parliament A
most stormy and somewhat personal debate-to
which istened-cne off IN the Commons on
Monday. never heard heavier personal invcc-
tive, holder assertions, or louder condemnation Of
Government anywhere than on that occasion. II
grew out OF an alleged keeping back oil important
dispatches from the Governor OF Jamaica and
Trinidad. which had been called for by the Com.
Colonies Lord George Bentinck, the Chairman,
asserted that these papers were keptback in order
10 mlsead Parliament IN reference 10 the opera
tOn of Free Trade upon the condition OF the plant
ers IN the West Indies. He was bold and fearless
in his imputatlons and denunclau0ns Mr. Humes,
the Under Secretary for the Colonies followed iI
an equal strain. to which ID Israeli replied in one
OF the keenest, most direct and most emphatic
speeches ever heard. HI spared Nobody. Upon
the Government and Lord John Russell, who sat
before him, he was numerically severe. He is ac-
counted the best debater in Parliament. Lord John
replied him, not in the most moderate terms, 90
alleging IN substance that whenever they could
organize decent opposition he was ready to re-
sign the Government. Several others engaged in
the debate.
On Tuesday night Earl Grey brought up the
same subject IN the House of Lords He Is Co.
louial Secretary, and took to himself all that had
been said in the other House. He is a fair speak
er mild in his manner but severe In his language.
He concluded with boast OF the unsullied name
his ancestry had born and his hitherto untarnished
character. Lord Stanley who is trying 70 organize
a Government followed him He is reputed one
of the best speakers in the Lords. He spared no
body and hesitated for nothing, though his manner
was mild aud rather pleasing Lord BrOugham
undertook 10 pour oil upon the troubled waters in
a speech of hall ali hour, but Earl Grey could not
rest and Lord Stanley was ready to meet him.
Everything here, as with us, Is viewed IN par
" light, and treated accordingly Lord Brougham
though now seated with the Opposition refuses to
be called party man. aud for that IS unpopular all
round / expected all attention when he rose 60
far from 1t, many left the House and not twenty
seemed TO care for anything he said IL Sas a
good speech, but far short OF that power had ex-
peCted 10 hear IA his most common sentences. We
are apt TO rate great men too high.
There IS fennent here, felt by every body
What 1t IS whence 1t comes. or whittier it tends
nobody can tell The Government feels 1t most -
The People are calm Should the crops, which
now look fine. come IN well, and business be pros
porous all may go on smoothly. But let either
fail and the masses become Idle aud needy, such
would ensue as none have anticipated
All complain of bad times, high taxes, expensive
Government Sc but none proposes a remedy
