THE TORIES ANGRY.
The English Tory press blame Mr.. Glad

very men he so eloquently condemns remain at

fortnight will elapse before the Land Court opens.
OPPOSITION TO THE BoERs.
There is remarkable unanimity of opinion in favor
of resisting the Beers demands. The Daily Neps,
which is the single exception, advocates concession
Its views are not shared BY the Liberal political
clubs The Spectator is absolutely bellicose. The
only point on which the Liberals favor a revision of
4be convention relates to the debt. The other de-
mands are too near independence to permit of any
concession. The Cabinet meets on Wednesday to
discuss this and the Egyptian question.
A NEW PHASE IN EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS.
The sending of the Turkish Commissioners to
Cairo has given a turn to Egyptian affairs

tablish his ascendancy draws England and France

Convention show satisfaction that the majority up

and death have given stimulus to the public inter

stronger than ever in favor of President Garfelds
platform, especially regards Civil Service Reform.
FINANCIAL DISTURBANCE.
For days past the Stock Exchange has been in q
greatly disturbed condition. Gold is flow
Ing rapidly to America and France, hence
the rise in the bank rate to per cent This has not
checked the trouble. Everything points to a higher
rate for money and to further financial disturb

ton in America and mad speculation in Paris.
LAND LEAGUE STRIFE.
In consequence of the action OF the

his servants and come to England. This prohibition
