LONDON, July 2.-Few people share Mr.. Glad
stones confidence that Parliament will adjourn IN
the first week Of August but everybody agrees that
the Land bill is going smoothly since the Govern
ment secured precedence for it over all other busi-
ness. The seventh clause, touching fair rent gives
less trouble than expected. The Parnellite op-
position is no longer formidable; tho House now
pays little attention to Parnel his satellites,
but looks to Mr.. Shaw and Charles Russell rs sufi-
cient authorities Irish radical views The
Government, though often unable to accede to
their proposals, finds no difficulty in dealing with
them frankly. The Conservatives have practically
abandoned opposition, such guerlas as Mr. Chap
lin ana Lord Randolph Churchill excepted.
THE NEW GREEK FRONTIER.
Ihe Greek debate in the House of Lords on Thurs
day was remarkable for the agreement of Earl
Granville representing the Government Lord Sails
bury representing the Opposition and Lord Rose
bery representing the active English friends of
Greece, all three considering the present frontier
either satisfactory the best attainablc under
the present circumstances
RECIPROCITY IN GREATER FAVOR
Reports from various parts of the Kingdom midi
cate that reciprocity theories making converts
among manufacturers both employers and operatives
Acorrcspondcnt airms that the Conservative leaders
nave been seriously considering since the Preston
election the advsabty of adopting reciprocity as
party cry. Their local agents in manufacturing
districts are strongly urging this policy. The same
authority says that Lord Salisbury supports the
proposal and intends during the autumn to declare
his views publicly. Other Tory chiefs, recognizing
the iinpoSsibity OF taxing wheat fear the effect
farmers OF the adoption of protective policy
beneiiling manu- ufacturcrs exclusively.
THE FRENCH TREATY PERPLEXITIFs
The growing irritation questions arising ont of
the French treaty, combined with the obvious reuc-
tancc of the French negotiators make any serious
CONCESSIONS and the hostile of tho French Min
lister of Commerce, equally favor a reciprocity
movement. NJ. Tlrard's declaration that the French
general tariff will be enforced against every country
with which no treaty has been concluded by No
vcmbcr. alarms English manufae turers and coupled
with the fat that the negotiations for new treaty
scarcely advance, creates vivid apprehension of
fresh blow 10 English industries. The Teoqraph de-
clares the attitude of the French representatives. to
DE almost insolcnt and expects the cry for retaa-
ton to become gcucraii IN the north of England fol-
loving period of depression in
the cotton and woollcn trade, which is
deemed probable. The TclsgrapNs article is the
strongest yet published by any important Journal
favoring the modification of English free trade
doctrines for the purpose of sclf-defcnce.
ENGLAND AND THE SILVER MOVEMENT.
The Economist, referring TO the announcement of
the Willingness of the Bank of England to resume
the purchase of silver for the Issue Department il
suitable arrangements are made by France and the
United states, says it would create false impress
sion, If 1t were supposed that the bank proposes any
large operation III silver IL will buy only such
amounts and on such terms as insure profit. The
same journal advocates the sending of Mr.. Goschcn
+" the Paris Monetary Conference but rcafirms that
furl tsclf hptb t,
ploy one or two metals. No leading statesman in
England nor the vast majority of business men are
prepared TO advocate any alteration of the standard
value.
THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY MURDER.
The police believed last night they had trustwor
| thy information of Lefroys whereabouts, the evil
dcncc indicating that the Claytons coud prod, \
hin. Later they received the astonishing
| mcnt that Lc.roy intended to appear volun:a
day. Witnesses at the coroncrs inquest at b..
testify that every road-path near Balconbc and
every railway station the Brighton and other
liucs were watched Orders were sent by the police
that if LEROY took the train the road from any
point for Bilcomba not to arrest him but to accom-
pany him, and allow him to travel with freedom
but if he passed I'acomhc to arrest him Instantly
The inquest opened this morning Nothing has
been yet heard of Lcfroy at the police headquarters
| The police shy they neither believe nor disbeeve
his reported intention, but they arc per
fcctly confident that they will capture him if
he is alive. They feel certain that he has not gone
abroad ani chat he is not far from home. Extreme
irritation prevails in Scotland Yard at the general
criticisms police neiiicency. Hence the dctcc~
tivcs using measures previously unknown IN
England and of doubtful legality. One high
horty declares that ii may be necessary to enforce
a house o-housc search if LEROY is not otherwise

devised clears up the mysterious points in the

TIE CORNELL CREW.
/ know ground for the allegation that the
Cornell crew unfairly treated in the foul be-
tween them and the London on Thursday.
The umpres decision showed both equally to blame;
hence fresh start ordered. The Cornell
again stecrcd badly, but very
easily beaten, losing the from inferi-
ority of styo and pace, most oarsmen
predicted they would. No hostility was shown by
the public, but marked cortiiaty, the crowd cheer
ing. The iasco to-day, when in the match with the
Hcrtford crew the Cornell men into the bank,
shows sufficiently that something was wrong with
their steering. If they wish to vindcatc their rcpu-
taion oarsmen, they will have no difficulty in
making dozen matches No lirst-class English four
would think them dangerous. w. 3.
