Cable Letter to New York Tribune.
LONDON, July Pew people
share Mr. Gladstone's confidence that
parliament will adjourn in the first
week in August, but everybody agrees
that the land bill is going smoothly
since the government secured prece-
dence for it ovcr all other business.
The seventh clause, touching falrrent,
gives less trouble than was expected.
The Parnellite opposition is no longer
formidable; the house now pays little
attention to Parnell or his satellites,
but looks to Mr.. Shaw and Charles
Russell rs sufficient authorities on
Irish radical views. The government,
though often unable to accede to
their proposals, finds NJ difficulty in
dealing with them frankly. The con.
servatives have practically abandoned
opposition, such guerillas as Mr..
Chaplin and Lord Randolph Churchill
excepted.
THE NEW GREEK FRONTIER.
The Greek debate in the house of
lords on Thursday was remarkable for
the agreement of Earl Granville
representing the government, Lord
Salisbury representing the opposition,
and Lord Rosebery representing the
active English friends of Greece, all
three considering the present frontier
either satisfactory or the best attain
able unoer the present circumstances.
RETALIAToRY DUTIES.
Reports from various parts of the
kingdom indicate that retaliatory re-
ciprocity theories are making converts
among manufacturers, both employed
and operatives. A correspondent
afirms that the conservative leaders
have been seriously considering, since
the Preston election, the advisability
of adopting reciprocity as u 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 impossi-
bility of taxing wheat, fear the effect
on farmers of the adoption of q pro-
tective policy beneftting manufactnr-
ers exclusively.
THE FRENCH TREATY PERPLEXITIEs.
The growing irritation on questions
arising out of the French treaty, COM
bined with the obvious reluctance of
the French negotiators to make any
serious concessions, and the hostile
tone of the French minister of COM
merce, equally favor the reciprocity
movement. M. Tirard's declaration
and the French general tariff will be
enforced against every country with
which no treaty has been concluded
by November, alarms English manu-
facturers, and, coupled with the fact
that the negotiations for a new treaty
scarcely advance, creates a vivid APP
prehension of a fresh blow to English
Industries. The Telegraph declares
the attitude of the French representa-
tives to be almost insolent, and ex-
poets the cry for retaliation to be-
come general in the north of England,
following a period of severe depres-
sion in the cotton and wooden trade,
which is deemed probable. The Tele-
graphs article is the strongest yet
published by any important journal,
favoring the modification of English
free-trade doctrines for the purpose of
self defense.

The Economist, referring to the an
nouncement of the willingness of the
Bank of England to resumethepurchase
of silver forthei issue Departmental suit
able arrangements are made by France
and the United States, says 1t would
create a false impression if it were
supposed that the bank proposes any
large operation in silver. 1t will buy
only such amounts and on such terms
as insure profit. The same journal
advocates the sending of Mr.. Goscher
to the Paris monetary conference, but
reafirms that each country must judge
for itself whether to employ one OF
two metals.
THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY MURDER.
The police believed last night thai
they had trustworthy information OF
Lefroy's whereabouts, the evidence
indicating that the Claytons could
produce him. Later they received
the astonishing announcement tha'
LEROY intended to appear voluntarily
to-day. Witnesses ut the coroner'l
inquest AT Balcombe testify that every
road-path near B,lcombe and every
railway station on the Brighton ant
other lines were watched. Order,
were sent by the police, that if Lefro,
took the train on the road from any
point for Balcombe not to arrest him
but to accompany him, and allow hin
to travel with freedom, but if he pass
ed Balcombe to arrest hin
instantly. The inquest opened
this morning. Nothing ha
been yet heard of LEROY at the polio,
headquarters. The police say the,
neither believe nor disbelieve his re
ported intention, but they are per
fectly confident that they will captur,
him if he is alive. They feel certain
that he has not gone abroad and tina
he is neal home. Extreme irritation
prevails in Scotland Yard at the gen
eral criticisms on police inefieiency
Hence the detectives are using mea
sures previously unknown in En-
gland, and of doubtful legality. On
high authority declares that it ma,
be necessary to enforce a house-to
house search LEROY is not other
wise found. 1t is admitted that N
theory of facts yet advised clears u
the mysterious points in the case. TIL
public interest is undated.
