rovnoS. Nov 25.-Parlamentary proceed
,Dos during the week have been more animated
than important Good progress has been made
with the new rules but the Ministers are already
,eaninu the fruit of their too great readiness to
make concessions demanded. which were mostly IN
order to facilitate obstruction striking instance
occurred yesterday when the Tories and Parnenites
and the Fourth Party rose together under RuIe
Q in support of Mr.. Yorkes motion to adjourn
made in order to attack the Government about the
Kilmainham treaty. The attack proved feeble
snonOh and failed to damage the Ministers, but Mr.
Gladstones friends say that he now regrets accept
inc the amendment to the original rule allowing
forty members to move an adjournment. The
Tories openly declare they and will use it freely
tor obstruction.
Mr.. GladstOne's statement on the Kilmanham
treaty proves what everybody knew before, that he
did not consider himself party 10 any agreement,
but nothing will shake the general belief that he
and Mr. Parnell understood each other before the
release was ordered.
TORY WANT OF DISCIPLINE.
hlr Crosses leadership OF lne lOIlcs luuiO@VSo
that he has less control the party than Sir Staf
ford Northcote had. Everybody is doing pretty
much as he pleases The younger and wilder spirits
of the party are resuming guerilla tactics. Lord
Randolph Churchill is mdugingin continual porcu-
pine practice on Mr.. Gladstone and other Ministers
whom he personally dislikes Lord Randolph offers
10 support Sir Wilfred Lawson's threatened attempt
on Monday to raise debate on the Egyptian war.
The bulk of the Tories have vanished in the coun-
try but the reckless maneuvres of the minority will
probably prolong the session well into December.
THE PROSPECT IN IRELAND IMPROVING.
Mr. Trevelyans able speech on Thursday
makes the best case possible for the Ar
rears Act but it Is certain that the Act has
not answered the expectations of either the
Ministers or the Parneltes The prospect is never
theess improving in Ireland. where the Joyce con-
vetions and the decrease of outrages indicate re-
turn of the reign OF law. Mr.. Parnell intends to
renew the agitation in Parliament in spite of Mr.
Gladstone refusal to introduce new Arrears Act.
RECENT ELECTIONS.
The election of Tory In Salisbury turned ad-
mitedly on local causes. Mr. Tomlinson's success
In Preston, though he is Tory, disquets the Tory
managers, who selected Mr.. Hanbury as their can
dIdate The Liberals, though able to choose be-
tween two Tories would have taken little interest
In the contest but for Mr.. HanburyS declaration
that he meant to be a thorn in Mr. Gladstonesside
whereupon the Liberals gave Mr.. Tomlinson 1000
majority. Cambridge University will elect Mr..
Rakes in spite of his exposure in connection with
speculative companies, but Professor Stuart polls
larger vote than was expected. AT the close of to-
days polling the vote was Raikes 1885, Stuart
LIS.
THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY IN SCOTLAND.
The Marquis of Salisburys Scotch cam nsign prom
ises to benefit the Liberals more than the Tories
His excursion has other object than to inspirit
his followers. This he endeavors to do by sue
cession of brilliant but impractical, self-contradct
DRY speeches.
HoNoRs FOR EGYPTIAN SOLDIERS.
Honors of all kinds have rained all through the
week the Egyptian officers and troops, the Queen
bestowing promotions medals and decorations mum
pTecedented iberality, while people of every rank
oyerwhem the officers with private attentions aud
invitations
THE ILLNESS OF MR. CHILDERs.
Mr.. Childers suffers not only from reckless over
work, but from a return of his former malady, |
BrightS disease. His political opponents applaud
his admirable good sense and the energy which has
distinguished his administration of the War Office.
THE COPYRIGHT CONTROVERSY
Tho copyright controversy isgrowing still iveier,
three columns of letters appearing in to-day's
Akeaerm Mr. Marston, a partner of Sampson
Low. takes up the defence of the Harpers. He
1js that the Harpers are endeavoring to check
mate the present race of American freeboOters but
saws the amounts paid by the Harpers for the early
SUN named by Mr.. Low He says that Mr.. Russell |
did receive a small part of this sum, though Mr. Rus
eel last week again denied this. Mr.. Low declares,
however, that Mr. Russell was ignorant Of the fact |
that the Harpers paid anything, Mr. Mars;on ap-
peals 10 me- through The Atten0um, to correct my |
Statement in THE TRIBUNE of November II, but |
that statement was an accurate summary of the let
Yer from Mr.. Marston's partner. whom Mr. Marston

states that the Harpers have adopted no rule which
