the Eastern difficulties, but on the other
hand Mr.. Gladstone, with perfectly con.

Eastern question. The breaking out OF
the fight Is already seen in the Albanian

IRISH QUESTION.
The great next question, however, will
be 1relsnd-although the Parnell party
does not entertain very strong hopes Of
being able to effect much daring the COM
ing session, when Parliament meets and
the Home Rulers will occupy seats on the
opposition benches, not fearing, it would
seem, to be regarded as the tail end OF the
Conservative party. In all probability
they will start out by bringing on dis

bloom at Hughenden, but will direct the
tactics OF the opposition. Meanwhile he
temporarily withdraws gracefully from
the scene, scattering titles, peerages, bar
onetcies and knighthoods among his faith
full followers. One OF the closing acts OF
his administration Is the bestowal OF q
peerage upon his faithful henChman, Mr..
Montagu Cory, his private Secretary.
Speaking OF the honor conferred upon
this gentleman, the Standard says: "ir.
Corry's elevation to the peerage as Baron
Rowlen will stand the test ordinarily ap.
piled in the case Of the creation OF new
peers. His family is already noble. lie,
is rich, genial, courteous, and he has been
trained in politics under one OF the
greatest masters in politics.

withstanding the dire forebodings regard

into siuecure salaries, and into even Her
