WHAT INTERESTS THE BRITISH CAPITAL.
IBY CABLE To THE TRIBUNEl
rovpov March h1O.-Mr. Gladstone's temperance
II the House of Commons. where he was coruiany
welcomed on both sides, marks the beginning VI
the serious business of the session. Everybody mas
heretofore felt the want of authority and OF dehnte
a;rect,on in pubic affairs, Lord Harrington leading
tbe House with Judgment, but being unable to give
decisive answers to important questions, ana soue-
times going quite wrong-as in the declaration 'n"V
the English troops would be withdrawn from EeSp'
within six months. This unhappy shp though

London. Mr.. Gladstone on being questioned an
swered that Lord Hartington's remark was merely
an expression of hope in which the Government un-
happily, was unable fully TO share The troops Mr.
Gladstone added certainly would not retire tli tne

tion. though hardly less rampant under the new
rules than it was last session. will not be allowed 10
interfere with the pressing financial necessities OF
the Government. Mr. Gladstone decliues to gave
anv promise about the vacation till the estimates
have been passed, but it is well understood that he
has resolved, when the House resumes Its sessions
after Easter to ascertain whether the new rules are
really efficient or not
EGAN's FLIGHT.
The Dublin authorities not little chagrned
nv the flight of Egan evidence of whose direct COM
plleity in numerous crimes is rapidly accumulatng'
The Times in an article obviously based on oinelai
information. says that the investigations now IN
prooress will implicate the Land League In I'M
,uadiate patronage of crime, and perhaps estab-
hsh a direct connection between 1t ana
the "Invincbles." Egan's flight Is OeheVeu
to have been due to a dread of this last danger
sundry prominent Land Leaguers are expected 10
follow him. The Times plainly points to MI far-
nall and 10 other members of Parliament as prob
ably included in the presumption of guilt afforded
nv Egan's fight, a presumption involving the
whole organization of the Land League and every
one of Its authorities.
IRISH ATTACKS.
Nevertheless, the Parnellite attacks upon the
Government continue in the House OF Commons
and elsewhere Mr.. OBrieD on Thursday declared
that Mr. Trevelyan, the Chief Secretary was deserV
ing of execration in Ireland.
Mr.. Trevelyan replied that Mr.. OBrens news
oaper had successivey attacked. with singular
ferocity, Mr. Forster, Mr.. Burke, Justice Lawson
and Juror Field and asked the House to remember
that the connecting link between these four was the
.ome paper. which now attacked himself as the
man most hated IN Ireland, and as more lnhuman
and destitute of feeling than Mr., Forster. This
was a remark which Mr. Parne after vainly en-
deayorirg to arrest Mr.. Trevelyan's exposure ana
10 break its force, boldly cheered.
Mr.. O'Brien's subsequent attempts at explanation
leave the matter exactly where it was. Mr.. Sexton
emphasized the meaning of Mr.. ParnelPS cheer by
the declaration that he never would withhold one
word because criticism led to violence.
RELEASE OF BYRNE.
Bvrnes release in Paris was due to Ministerial
md not TO a judicial act. The Government, finding
flat the press and public opinion were eager to in
flict rebuff upon England, readily seized the pre-
text that the accusation against Byme was
political.
ANGLO-FRENCH DIFFERENCES
Madagascar news counterbalances the supposed
GOOD effect in Paris of Mr. GladstOnes friendly as
surances. The friction will not be diminished by
Lord Granville's admission in the House OF LORDS
last night that the Government does intend to
Conclude treaty with Portugal to promote freedom
of navigation and commerce OH the Congo. This is
precisely what France under the pretext OF the
De Brazza treaty, is striving TO prevent.

Emperor of Germany upon the Prince
OF Wales though partly personal compliment to a
