WHAT rs GOING ON IN EUROPE
The English Parliament devoted the VIII

been delivered on both sides OF the House tho
result being the rejection OF the resolution Of
the Liberals and the adoption Of Mr. Plunketts
amendment expressing confidence in the Min
istry A division OF the House showed major
ity of143 for the Government. This is another
triumph for Lord Beaconsneld. But all this
does not alter the fact that tho mass OF tho
English people are discontinued with the now
burdens imposed upon them. and the new re-
sponsibitics which the Government has un-
dcrtakon. Tho principle OF personal govern
ment which Lord Beaconsneld has unqueston-
ably introduced into English politics is very
dangerous one. Though tho English az n body
polite are very different from the French,
there Ia n good deal Of similarity between Lord
Bcaconsleld's recent triumphal entry into the
good city OF London. and Napoleon entry into
Paris on his return from Villafranca. Tho
French Legislature expressed at that time its
confidence in the policy OF the Government In
still more emphatic manner. The proceedings
Of Beaconsnold are very much like those OF
Napoleon III. The Truth says:

Yet, with great many people. the Cyprus
fever still continues. Everybody wants to go
there. and to try TO make money in the newly
acquired island. The public interest in Cy-
prus is so great that the inevitable Mr.. Cook
has started with large party on n personally
conducted tour over the island. The pro-
gramme includes visit to the scene OF the
murder OF Dcsdemona and the suicide OF
Othello.
In Spain the feud in the royal family con-
tinucs TO be the exciting topic Of popular in
tercst. At the instance OF the Kings sister, the
Princess Of Asturias. six Madrid journals have
been prosecuted for having limited that Queen
Mercedes was poisoned. The Princess attended
upon her sister-in-law during her Illness. and
naturally feels outraged by such hints although
they are aimed. not at her. but at her mothers
partsans.
The cx-Queen wished to return TO Spain 10
console her son but he refused to be consoled
Ivy her. and seems to prefer the society Of the
Montpensicr family Seeing that all her at
temp,s to return to Madrid were in vain Isa-
