A Running Review of Trans
Atlantic News,

of the lords er the land bill exhibited
weakness and division ofthe cohsei yativt
leaders. The denials of Gladstone arc
Lord Salisbury that matters had been
squared Are strictly correct, but undeubt-
ed y an informal exchange of views pre-
pared the wsy for the surrender of the
upper house. Lord Csirnes and Mr..
Gibson were the negotiators for the con-
servatives, Lord CarliDgford and Mr..
] Herschel for the government. he in
| reference Of CEirns has been q blow 20
Salisbury's leadership. Gladstone and
Salisbury were in the country on Sun
day. On Monday the latter was in
| formed by Csirnes that the Irish land
lords had resolved to compromise; Sails
bury and active tories are chsgrined.
| The latter affirm that the Detection OF
Cair' es was the sole cause of defeat.
| The Queen il said TO have secured the
| Arrangement by intimatiDg to Salisbury
her refusal to appes 10 the country on
| question involving the House of Lords
There was absolutely no course open to
| Salisbury but to capituiste and his con-
duct throughout betrays simple oosti-
macy. Disraeli, if alive, might hsve re-
peated his '67 tactics, defeated the bill and
taken Office, and have "dished the whigs''
by adopting peasant proprietary pure
and simple. Such step, if approved by
the tories, would have secured a msjority
iu the House of Commons. The present
tory leaders want the dash" fer such an
enterprise. As passed the bill is substsn
tisllv the same as when it left the House
of Commons. Of the twelve leading
points on which the peers insisted, they
surrendered ten, compounded one and
the government conceded one.
The Parnellites seem TO be left without
a parliamentary policy. 1t was their in
tention to 90 to the country with ectGt by
creating = disturbance in the House be-
fore adj ou:nmeDt, in view of the minis
terial declarations relative TO reform in
the procedure of the House, with an act
which would irresistibly have strength
ened government next session. The
majority OF the English press approve the
governments resolution not 20 release
the subjects until the agitators have made
it possible to do so. The notorious fact
that a nun Der of the agitators live by
agitation has convinced the government
that it could not conciliate them by
clemency so long as the money lasted.
At the same time there is strong feeling
among the liberals that the time FOR re-
preston is pact, and thst'the government
would have done we'll to accompany the
land bill with amnesti .s. 1t is suspected
that the leaguers will not facilitate the
working Of the act. Arch bishop CrOke's
counsel to give the land act fair trial.
while msintainiDg an attitude of obser-
Vstion is consitered reasonable, but is
not likely to be accepted by the leaguers.
The Irish debates this week have not
shown tact on the part os the memb ers.
Last night Mr.. Biggar made a tisrce
personal attack on Forster. Parnel, re-
iusing to follow him, attacked the system
of governing Ireland from London
through an English chief secretary. The
force OF the case presented by Parnell
has been growing upon Ell glishmen, and
much might have been done to bring
about more rational policy on the part
ofthe goeernment by last nights discus
sion, but for the indiscretion of Biggar
and most Of the Parnellites in turning the
debate into an abusive attack on Chief
Secretary Forster. The Irish party en-
deavored to combine with the tories
against changing the procedure of the
House.
The British governments refusal to
renew negotiations for commercial
treaty has created CONSERVATION in
France. The theory of NJ. Tierard and
of other French protectionists was
that England would be glad
to accept any terms, and was
only spinning out the negotiations 20 Sc
cure better conditions. NJ. st. Hilaire
also insisted that England could be
forced into corner and must submit.
He was mistaken, and has had to pub
lish note by the Hsvss News Agency
designed to justify Mr. Tlerard on the eve
Of the elections. The plea of illegality
advanced by the French government to
justify its refusal to accord q prolonga.
ton of the treaty is considered here to BIZ
mere Subterfuge. France is evidently
entirely mistaken regarding England's
position. France is not higgliug for
terms. She is determined to have terms
IS good as the last, or none. An eco
nomic rupture would be announcement,
but England can bear it. Her French
trade is SIN .ll in proportion to he's COM
merce with France.
Esarts' visit creates much interest
among the public men now in town. He
was warmly received, aud has been in
communication with leading men.
Puleston, NJ P, entertained him at din
ner on Thursday, when an Influential
company met him.
The public watches with intense in
terest the huctustion in President Gar
fields condition. The most favorable |
opinions are entertained among all par
ties regarding his character and policy. |
The Queens sympathy for Mrs. Gar
field expresses the public and private
sympathy of the English people with the |
President and the United States.
The death of Trelawny, the friend of |
Byron and Shelley, has passed for some
days unnotIced most people being un-
aware that so distinguished survivor Of |
Lord Byron's Greek enterprise was
among them. TTelawny was q good |
deal of q rover. His books of adventure
read like Oriental romances. He had |
crest personal admiration for Shelley, |
but was too severe on Shelley's wife |
Toe lady was doubtless uninteres:ing. |
Sir Percy Shelley never f0rgave him |
thes@ comments on his mo- her.
Englsnd still watches actively the |
in North Africa. The |
er mpt action of the ship Monarch re-
sporting the outrage on the iSxsG, is |
much approved.
Egypt drifts toward military despot-
ism. The worst kind of INSTRUMENTATION |
on he part OF the soldiers is stimulated |
by the Khedive for his own burmese. |
E gland has already interviewed in this |
matter.
