LONDON, Feb. ia correspondent to the
Manchester Guardian says: We understand
the general inquiry by the governments shows
there will be majority in favor first, of the
proposed new rules OF parliamentary procedure.
1t is supposed Gladstone will appeal to tie
house to permit discussion to continue from
day to day.
The Daily Ne,0s says in leader, probably
inspired, that il the rules are rejected the
proper course Of the COVE rnment is clear. It
should devote at many sessions of the present
parliament as may be necessary to pass the
country franchise, redistribution of seats and
corrupt practice bills. When these have been
passed it should appeal to the enlarged and
reformed constituencies on the question of
other substantial reforms to which revision of
procedure is an essential preliminary. The
Daily Naos also stated the cloture rule is the
very essence of the governments proposals,
not be submitted to the house. The Neaos,
however, has no apprehension of such re-
suit. Liberal seceders will probably be num-
bered by units. They will be persons who
nominally joined the liberal party in order
better to serve Its opponents, but these ques-
tionable allies and aid of Irish enemies will not
insure victory for the forces of obstruction.
It should be well understood by the constit-
uencies that all members who vote against the
various reforms which the minister is ANXIOUS
to pass. The Liberal seceders are expected to
include Norwood, Sir Edward Watkin, Cow
en-, storr, Marriott and Waiter.
The Times says the cloture beyond all dis
pute Is the question of the hour. 1t has been
accompanied in many cases with ludicrous
Misrepresentation of meaning by the organs
of the machine which was brought to per-
lection two years ago, and of which the ma
tional federation Of liberal associations at
Birmingham is the main spring, but has ar
rayed against it the unexpected unanimity of
independent criticism. In regard to the evils
of the proposal the Times points out that
Brand, speaker of the house, will probably
retire at the beginning of the next session and
that az Gladstone will soon complete his ff-
tieth year of parliamentary service, his retire
| ment from the active conduct of the affairs of
the lower house cannot long be delayed. The
disappearance of these men would throw
machine. The clotufe, whenever it suited the
purposes of the government Of the day, would
be clamored for by ahundred organs inspired
| by local caucuses, whose wires would be
worked from Westminster and Birmingham.
Hin the house of commons this evening Mr..
Storey gave notice he had prepared an amend.
ment to the first of the new rules of procedure,
| which will provide that the speaker may pro.
pose cloture only after being satisfied that the
subject has been fully debated, and that cloture
| is the evident sense of the house. Mr.. Storey
intends in the first instance to support Sir
Stafford Northcote's amendment. If the latter
is rejected he will then move the above amend
ment In ministerial circles it is thought that
the government proposals will be carried by a
majority of nearly thirty.
The submarine cable companies have writ

Arrangements are nearly completed for the
establishment of line of steamers called the
