Tho journalist who could forecast the programme oi
to-nghts proceedings In tho two houses Of Parlia-
mcnt would command half tho reading population OF
the kingdom to-day. The clubs in Pail Mall last
evening filed with rumors Of complete settlement

Premier and Lord Salisbury; but It only fair to say

greatly annoyed Lord Bcaconsneld, and that he will
repc any attack which his irate subordinate may
make upon him in a manner that hc OF Salisbury

morning papers nothing tangible can be found. The
day may be most evcntful, or it may pass without
single incident OF fact however, thcre can be
little doubt namely If Salisbury has the hardhood Ia
assal the Premier he will DO warmly received and
amply dealt with.

which include the FREQ navigation Of Lake Scutari,
