THE RECORD OF THE WEEK.


KING GEORGE, OF GREECE. IN THE ENGLISH
CAPITAL-MLLE. SARAH BERNHARDT.
INK CABLE TO THE TRIBUNEl
LONDON, Saturday, June 8, 1890
Persistent attempts have been made Dy Conserva-
tive writers and London correspondents of the Tory
press of Constantnoplo and Vienna to represent
that Mr.. Goschen received check at the outset Of
his mission. Tory members of the House early in
the week proclaimed trumphantly that the Sultan
would refuse to see Mr.. Goschen unless he aban-
doned the notion of expressing desire for reforms
in the Turkish Empire. These fairy tales were dis
spated by Mr. Goschen's actual reception. followed
by a private interview. during which it is
understood that Mr. Goschcn laid before
the Sultan the wkole purpose of the
British Government in plain terms. Con-
stantinople kilograms say that the Sultan, here
tofore msled, received the demands with incredu-
lity and dismay. Every European capital neverthe-
less is alive with intriRues against the European
concert which Mr.. Goschen desires for accelerating
reforms in Turkey. Ar. Goschen himself Is not san
guinc Of any substantial success.
THE GOVERNMENT EMBARRASSED.
The homc situation hardly improves Mr.. Glad
stone regards the Bradlaugh imbroglo with undis-
gused anxiety. Sir DrummOnd Wolf proclaims his
belief that n majority of tho House can be carried
for Bradlauglrs exclusion whenever direct vote
can be obtained. The young Tories, Wolff leading
rebel against the timdity and inelliciency of Sir
Stafford Northcotc's leadership of the Opposition.
Nothing occurs to diminish the difficulties besetting
the Government respecting Sir Bartlo Frere's
retention. A memorial, eighty Liberals sign
ing has been presented to Gladstone ask
ing for Sir Bartle Freres immediate removal
Other Liberals arc ready to support Mr.. Lawson
If a motion is pressed The Tories are debating the
cxpedieucy of voting with the Liberal malcontents
possibly putting the Government in a minority.
THE CATHOLIC APPOINTMENTS.
The Protestant anger against the RipOn and Ken
marc appointments shows no signs Of subslding,
Sir William HarcourPs game law measure rOuses fu-
rious hostility on both sides Of tho House. The
Liberals BILL in the form In Shich tho landowners
passed il in the House of Lords. is unsatisfactory to
tho Nonconformists, and must undergo amendment
in the Commons 1t is doubtful whether it becomes
a law this session. The Radicals already saying
that sorno great measure is necessary before conf
dence and enthusiasm will revive in the Liberal
ranks. Baron Rowtons visit to Berlin excites
speculation Political gossips alleging that he
has been intrusted with a private mission from
Lord Beaconsfe!d to Bismarck, or even from the
Queen to the Emperor, touching fresh complications
in the Eastern question.
BRILLIANT WEEK ~ LONDON.

ing events there havc been lovee at st. james

tural Hall. always thronged by fashion, this
year is especially patronized by royalty and
society," Tho Four-n-lIand ClaO Meet took
place at Hyde Park on Wednesday, when the rain
could not damp tho general enthusiasm, aad
hardly diminish the muster of tho ornaments
OF tho West End. Tho annual soiree of the
pesday was crowded. but tho assemblage was
moro scientific than fashionable. Several re-
ceptions have been given at private houses
to hear rccitations by MOdjeska, Geneyieve
Ward and Sarah BernhArdt. Two opera
houses are nightly open, Patti, Nilsson and
Albani appearing The Richter concerts are en-
trancing learned musical amateurs. The French
plays are disputing with the opera for fashion
able prominence. Rotten Row. in Hyde Park. is
brilliant with cavaliers and pedestrians, hardly
less numerous than Before the hard times thinned
their ranks PccadiIly. St. James-st, Gnd Pail
Mall during the afternoon show one long Process
sion of eampages filed with the flower Of beauty
and rank.
SUBURBAN ADJUSTMENTS.
Meanwhile those who prefer suburban amuse-
ments have witnessed a tournament at Hurting
ham and the races at Sandown and have ar
ranged coaching parties to DorkinR, Tunbrdge
Wells and other places, or dinners at the Orleans
Club, Twickenham.
THE DEATH OF THE EMPRESS OF RUSSIA
The death Of tho Empress Of Russia failed |
to arrest for single instant this whirl |
Of gayety, though the Court goes into |
mourning. The royal ordinance requiring mourning
to be worn is understood to apply only where
royalty is present. elsewhere ladies still appear
rainbow clad. Lord Cork. Master Of the Buck
hounds, issues notice insisting that both ladies
and gentlemen entering the royal enclosure at
Ascot next week shall wear black. Society, |
