special says: Owing to the recent Ar-
rangements in which the Irish party
were included, division on the clotare
has been set down for Thursday. The
government expects majority OF about
2l0. The most effective proposals for the
reform of procedure are found IN other
resolutions than the cloture, but the lat
ter involves q new principle by which
the government will stand or fall;
although the majority will be slight.
The safety Of the government is less AZ
fected by the cloture than by the new
proposals which the opposition are franz
ing for the land act. Mr.. Smyth's mo-
ton, making the purchase clauses more
operative, cenceals q scheme to secure .
wide establishment OF pleasant pro,
prietary. irish landlords are disposed
to accept the position to which the
league is forcing them, and to sell
their estates. The conservative party are
taking up q position TO aid the Irish
landlord by obtaining the purchase
money through state Intervention. Their
project is not yet formulated, but judg-
ing by the disposition of party leaders,
and the questions put to witnesses before
the Lords committee, the conservative
party are to be credited with far more
sweeping scheme than the league propo-
sails. The scheme is in the air, but is
icrystallizinH.
The minority against Prince Leopold's
grant showed o substantial increase over
previous minorities against previous
royal grants. But for the insulting Ian
| guage of Healey, and disrespectful at
tscks of Storey and other speakers, the
minority would have been fifteen or
twenty more.
The electors have taken friendly suit
against Mr.. Bradlaugh to compel him to
perform his parliamentary duties. 1t Is
hoped that this may introduce the ques-
ton, and obtain the decision of law
court.
Mr.. Gladstone is expected before long
to give up the chancellorship of the ex-
chequer.
Mr.. Goschen's action clears the way
for his admission To Downing street. The
liberal party would hail his accession
with delight. His moderation would be
8 counterpoise to the Birmingham school.
He is also The best authority on the
liberal side in foreign politics. His ad-
vice would be of great assistance to the
cabinet and especially to Lord Granville,
who belongs to the old foreign school.
Mr.. Goschen is intimate with all the
leading statesmen.
Several attempts have been made
during the session to discuss ''fair trade"
but nothing was accomplished till last
night, when Mr.. Richie proposed an in
quiry into the effects of foreign tariffs on
British trade and commerce. The de-
bate was notable for Sir Stafford
Northcote's action. Two years ago he
denounced such an inquiry ss injurious;
yesterday he professed adhersnce to free
trade but supported the motion which
found eighty-nine in its favor, q stronger
vote than had certainly been expected,
though it was largely due to the defec-
tive wording of the resolution, which ex-
cluded the real object of the inquiry from
the text.
London society is deeply interested in
ladies' hygienic lectures under the aus
pices of The National Health Society.
There is an exhibition of dress, clothing,
boots, classical costumes, bloomer and
other improved styles hanging chiefly
from the shoulders.
a company ombining two Italian
troupes under Earl Latham's chairman
ship, Mr.. Gye being director, with Mr..
Mapleson's services secured for ten years,
will have entire control of italian opera
in Great Britain and the United States
during the coming season. 1t will give
Carmen" 'Mefstofeles", "L'Herod-
iade," and a new piece entitled "Vel-
leda." Nine. Patti is much struck by
the original power of this work and de-
sires to appear in the principal character.
The WOrLd'S London cable SAYS: The
report that the American press has under
discussion the question of the imprison-
ment of the IRISH suspects" attracts
much attention here, especially in
official circles where it is no longer pos
sible to ignore or pooh pooh the subject
| The government is already embarrassed
by the number of prisoners on its lands,
some 500 in all. and the demands of
macy liberals as we'll as of the con-
serVstives, for their release. In spite of
the continual arrests the number of
serious outrages has not diminished. l
do not take into account the general re-
| turns Of agrarian outrages, in which
threatening letters figure so extensively.
Since it is often pretended that tenants,
whether disposed or disinclined to pay
rent send themselves such epistles by way
Of protection or excuse, and it is now seen
almost universally, il not admitted, that
the land bill, from which so much was
hoped, is an utter failure. A powerful
section of liberals, as l have already said,
is demanding how long tho suspects" are
to be keptin prison; To rei1re any prss-
sure from tn Unite,i : ntes in favor of
America citizens held IN detention,
could SCARCELY fail 10 force Gladstone to
make spee"y and very possibly favor
able decision IN the matter.
The official world is fairly amazed from
centre to circumference at the spectacle
! Of three such prominent mem bers of
the government as Sir Charles Dixie.
Mr.. Favcett and Mr. Chamberlain walk
ing out of the hodse on a cabinet resolu-
ton being introduced By the premier FIR
the customary allowance to the Duke of
Albany at his marriage, and to the widow
should she survive him. The "bolting"
mem ers pub icly repelled their reepon-
slolllty for the proposition; an event never
known before 10 the history of English
ministers, There is great fuss also be-
cause Mr.. Bright kept his hat on when
the Queens message concerning the al
lowsnce to Prince Leopold was read,
out the Chamberlain incident" pro-
vokes far m re attention aud comment,
| because OF the studied insult to the
crown and to the government of which
ne forms part. Mr.. Gladstone is thus
SHOWN to have no influence even with his
radical colleagues.
