Among the other guests were the Earl
and Countess of Onslow, the Hon. Sir John
Broderick.an lady. Hilda Broderick, and
Col. Allen Gardner. They are on tour
through America and have accepted an
invitation to join Mr.. Wizards party.
A GLOBE representative called on Lord
Onslow and found that gentleman in a
happy frame of mind and filed with adj
miration for America and the cordial
reception that has attended his stay in this
country thus far. The earl is accomplish
ed, a close observer of the history of
parties in England, and he discusses cues
tions of state in a decidedly intelligent
manner. He is man of quick, nervous
temperament, a good conversationalist,
and what he says comes forth in clear cut
sentences, disclosing energy of thought
and sincere convictions on the subject in
hand. In personal appearance he is de-
cidedly American Attired in the conven-
tional black dress suit, his clear complexion
and sandy hair would indicate to the
observer that he was limb of the law
such as one. meets every day where
the disciples of Blackstone most do
congregate. The earl of Onslow, Sir Will
liam Hitler Onslow, is by.oficial designa-
ton of the county of Salop, Viscount Cron-
ley, of Crowley, county Surry, baron Ons-
low, of Onslow county Salop, and of west
Clanelon, county Surry, Baron Clanley,
of Imbercourt, and a baronet. He was
born March Z, 1853, and succeeded, his
grand uncle as fourth earl October "a,
1870. The earl sits in the house of lords
and under Beaconsfeld's government he
he was the representative of the local
board in the house of lords where iuris-
diction embraced matters connected with
the poor laws and towns and cities and
controlled the management of prisons and
lunatic asylums.
Gas a conservative how do you regard
Gladstone and his policy?"
81 do not believe the conservatives
have been in a position to impugn
the policy and induce him to appeal to the
country. Some of Gladstone's plans were
ill-advised, but he generally abandoned
them when they met with too general dis
favor, as instance, his abandonment of The
Suez canal scheme the other day. There
is strong feeling in the country among
trading interests that England must have
command of the shortest route to India.
], for one would be surprised if the British
troops were withdrawn from Egypt until
either England has predominant control
of the existing canal or builds another on
her own account. The prime minister
Palmerston. I believe it was held that
De Lesseps made mistake in not invit-
ing English capital instead of French to
go into it. Now there is very strong
feeling in favor of England having
control of the second canal. Gladstone
las 1.-TWO elements to contend with-a con-
servative minority in the house of COM
mons and conservative majority IN the
house of lords. The leader in the house of
lords must be man of tact and great de-
clsion, as he can throw out bill if he is
satisfied the measure will not win favor.
To illustrate, the bill in the house of COM
mons altering the relations between
landlords and tenants drew from Lord
Salisbury the advice to his faction to &C.
quiesce in it. If he had not have done
this the house of lords would have been
accused of having only the interests of
landlords at heart as against the large
majority"
Hon. William st. John FreemantIe
Brodrick is the eldest son of Viscount
Middleton, and is accompanied on this
journey by his young wife. He is mem
Der of the conservative party in the house of
commons and was there present during the
existing session until August z. His father
is peer of both England and Ireland, and
being an Irish landlord, the son took spe-
cial interest in Irish politics. When ques-
toned by reporter concerning the Irish
people, Mr.. Broderick said:
II think the Irish landlord is more favor
able to his tenants than landlords any
where else in the world. I was speaking a
few days since with an American lawyer,
and asked him how soon he could turn
out tenant here if he did not pay his
rent. He said he could get him out in
about three months. In Ireland, delin-
quent tenant can hold on six months, and.
if he takes advantage of certain pleading,
he can remain six months longer.
Before the adoption of the land
act the average rent per acre
was thirty shillings in England and only
81 in Ireland. Now it has been reduced
in Ireland to Is shillings per acre. But the
reduction has not been full relief. It does
MT make any difference how much you
reduce rent if the land will not enable peo-
pie to live off it. In the western part of
Ireland there are ten times as many people
per acre as the land can support. You
cannot put ham on a cheese plate, no
more can you make an acre of land sup
port SO many people as there are on it, no
matter how low the rent may be. For this
reason the land bill has been failure in
that line. We favor voluntary emigration
but the home rulers are opposed to it,"
