Association at Oxford to-day, said he

breach Of neutrality. The vote ot

the war. He feared the vote would
be carried by the failure of the Irish
members. to oppose it, though he
hoped lreland's honor, those who had
themselves been struggling for free

with the freedom of others. He said

The Situation in England.
LONDON, January 30th-The Con-
servatives in the House of Commons
are expected to give solid vote in
support of the credit Thursday. The
Liberals, on the contrary, are divided.
The Home Rulers have not determined
on their course. The majority for the
credit is already estimated at over
100. Meetings are being held
throughout the country to influence
Parliament against the credit, but
mostly by Liberal or Peace organiza-
tions. An open air meeting at Shelf
field yesterday, for the purpose of op-
posing the Government, was turned
into an anti-Russian demonstration.
An amendment to the original rcsoIu
tion against the credit was carried by
an immense majority, declaring that
the cause of peace and the interests of
the Government will be best promo
ted by supporting the foreign policy
of the Government.
The Sentiment in New York in Anticipation of
the Passage Of the Bland Bill.
New YORK, Jan. 30th.-The gener-
al sentiment in financial circles here,
in anticipation of the passage of
Bland's bill despite veto, is expressed
by the Tribune in an article showing
that gold goes up and silver down, be-
cause that measure will drive gold out
of the country. But insure the re
of silver by the Latin
Union without adding materially to
its use here, and paper will become
a promise to pay in silver and will
exclude silver from use. The silver
will fall, and paper will sink below it |
in value, as the promise surely falls
behind the thing promised 1t must
be plain to every man who knows
how business is done, and where act
i've capital is found to conduct it, that
the pending bill, if passed, will cause
a time of frightful disaster unless bus
mess men protect themselves by put
ting their business at once on gold
basis, as Californians do.
