beyery prospect that Arabl Pachas trial Will drag
through several weeks. Tie admission of English
counsel is interpreted both here and there to mean
that the Ministry is pledged not to allow Arab to
beexecuted unless for the massacre.
THE PROSPECTS OF TIE CLOSURE.
There seems TO be little doubt that The Ministers
are substantially agreed in their purpose to press
the Closure by majority. No member Of the
Cabinet is known to prefer tie twothirds rule, but
hints are thrown ont in certain quarters that Mr
Gladstone Is not inclined to resign should the
House accept Mr.. Gibsons amendment The oppos-
ton on the Liberal side is weaker than last spring
It's known that important Liberal associations all
over the country favor the Closure pure and simple
Lord Harrington and Mr. Chamberlain, represent
ing the two extreme wings Of the party inside the
Cabinet, are equally strong supporters Of closing
debate by a majority vote.

National and commuuistic. The only point where
Messfs Davtt and Parnell agree Is on home rule,
but this though the 1rst plank N the platform, Mr..
Parne means to postpone till the land question is
settled in his own way. MI ParnelPs friends say
that he intends 10 devote himself in the next ses
EOn to amending the Land Act as indicated by the
resolutions Mr. Davltt will betake himself to the
secret propaganda, caring nothing for Mr.. ParnePs
Parliamentary programme. Mr.. Dillcns retirement

garded here as formidable for purposes of agitation
Mr. Parneu having completely beaten the American
party in organizing the League, it is supposed
that he has made up his mind to forego future sup
phes of American money.
KILLING THE EGYPTIAN WOUNDED
The controversy over the killing of the Egyp-
tiau wounded continued during the week. Every
attempt is made TO impeach the testimony
Of The Cologne Cd=etIs correspondent. 5ir Cameron
teegraphs from Cairo that he lies The Swedish
correspondent writes that he saw some of the
wounded killed. English journals resent the
charges and attack their author bitterly, but
though some of his original details wrong it
