GREAT BRITAIN.
POiRts and Politics from the
United Kingdom.
Review of the Past week.

New York, Autonomous Tri-
6tI1l6 will have the following:
PARLIAMENT.
London, 4 Everything points to
stormy first night in the House of
Commons. The Parnellites threaten
to raise the question of privilege at
the earliest mement in regard to the
Imprisonment of Parnell and his
colleagues. It is understood that
the speaker, following the precedent
in billions case, will rule that there
is no privilege. The Bradlaugh
question will almost certainly be
discussed before the Irish one. Brad
laugh meaning to arrive at the table
among the first to take the oath.
The government intends to secure
his admission, and the strongest
pressure will be used en- the recall
citrant liberals. The wings are re-
calling absent liberals from all parts
Of the world by urgent kilograms.
The Home-rulers and tories have
agreed to oppose the admission of
Bradlaugh and to protract the de-
bate on the address, with the view
Of preventing as long as possible the
introduction of the clOture and
other reforms in procedure. The
ministers, nevertheless, anticipate
that they will carry TIE proposals
in reasonable time, hintlng that the
speakers authority will be exer-
clsed again, if necessary, to silence
obstruction.
THE IRISH.
Three organized Irish efforts,
within ten days, to break liberal
meetings in London, have aroused
fresh general Indignation. Sir
Charles DilkeS' audience at Chelsea
behaved disgracefully, 1,50O people
flying before less than q hundred
rioters, only the police restoring or
der. Bryce's supporters at the sec
ond meeting organized themselves in
American fashion and secured
Bryce's hearing by finging the in
truders out of doors. Coupled with
the discovery of the Tough mass
murderers and other fresh outrages,
these events have revived English
evaporation and strengthened the
government by renewed demand
for stern measures with Irish ruff
fianism.
The Post and Daily NeoOs ex-
cepted, the English press has in
dulged in few comments on this
weeks dispatches, describing the
port of Blaine's South Ameri-
can policy, and of the universal re-
pudia5ion of his views by the people.
The Daily NeIos assumes that the
ClaytonBulwer treaty will stand,
and likens Mr.. Blaine to Oscar
Wilde, Deacon Program and Jeffer-
son Brick.
THE JEWS.
The mansion house protest against
Russian persecution of Jews, al
though rendered weiglty by the
presence OF numbers or representa-
Tive men, will not induce govern
ment to take any step whatever.
The ST. Pc, ersburg te.egrams, to-
day, indicate, as was expected, ex-
IRENE resentment, on the part of
Russia. English sympathlzers them
selves doubt whether the Immed ate
effect of demonstrations before and
in America will not he injurious.
THE CHANNEL TUNNEL
Meetings of the two rival channel
tunnel companies this week and the
appearance of Admiral Dunsaly's
article in the Nineteenth Century
have reused keen interest in the
project. The British public is there
lore skeptical of the possibility of
ext cutting the works and the prOba-
bility of raising needed sums. 1t is
suddenly discovered that the two
companies are seriously at work and
being convinced of its possibility
previous Indifference has been sue
ceeded by the ivelieSt alarm at the
military peril, and the determine
ten is expressed on all sides and in
numerous high quarters to oppose
resolutely the enterprise. There is
good authority for saying that every
member of the cabinet except
Bright, and perhaps Chamberlln,
is against the tunnel project.
