n SALISBURY COMPROMISED.

LORD SALISBURY COMPROMISED.
Tho Tunis difficulty causes friction between Italy,
France and England; but Italy will seek her le-
xsnoe in diplomacy rather than in war. The rev.
.,atons of Lord Salisbury's policy-lrs secret
assurances TO Minister Waddington on the one
hand. and to the Bey on the other-compromise
seriously that s.atesnans reputation. Not only do
,hs disclosures again associate him with secret nm
dcrtakings of which the SalisburySchOnvaloh
arrangement was the type most offensive to Eng
Ishmeu, but unless he makes good explanations
they convict him of actual dishonesty and VIII
seriously interfere with his chances of the Con-
seryatiye leadership. Though The Conservatives
are not oyerburdoned with political wisdom 'hcy
ran appreciate honorable conduct and the limits of
statesmanship.

consolation for their own inherent shortcomings IN
The dificultics which have confronted the French
military authorities in dispatcling $1,000 troops To-
Tunis The mobilization is alarningly defective.

THE IRISH MEMBERS DIVIDED.

The fact that Lord Duilcrin succeeds him tends TO
destroy the belief ir Lord Epons return from India
which was expected in midsummer. As Lord Duf-
feriu is credited with the evcrSion Of the yiccroy-
atty, Lord Rpon's early return is now improbable.
