LONDON, Oct. i--Tho Radicals declare that
II is horrible and impossible. and nevertheless
everybody believes II TO BIO true. The quarrel
botween tho Government and tho House OF
Lords Is likely to DO patched up. The Topping
comes. too. not from the Tory. but the Minister
rial side. The Wing supporters Of Gladstone
in the House Of Lords are disgustcd by the vio-
lence OF the attack upon their House. and are
SO anxious about tho safety OF the order that
they have joined tho cry for compromise. which
means against the Radicals. Tho splendid
popular reception given to Salisbury and Lord
Randolph Churchill. the grave dangers every
where confronting the empire the smallness OF
tho roal points at issue. and. above ell. tho
dread OF Parnell are tho chief agences in
bringing about this new state OF feeling. Many
means arc proposed Of getting out Of tho diiil-
Guilty. 1t Is said that the Ministry have already
aarood on the draft OF n now redistribution BILL
and that they will be prepared to produce this
draft on the day OF tho opening OF tho session.
1t Is suggested that n good plan for pushing for
ward tho two measures simultaneously wouldbc
to produce the franchise Dill In the HOUSE Oh
Lords and the Redistribution bill In the Com
mons. so that tho two Houses might thus
simultaneously bo engaged in getting tho
measures disposed Of. The speech Of Sails
bury gave no indication whatever of desire
, to surrender for his words were very bold. and.
tho Radicals are compelled to admit. very bright
and very effective; but this is interpreted rs
simply the feint to cover u rotroat
Meantime. things are not cleared up In tho
foreign relations of tho country. Affairs In
Egypt seem to bo getting more hopclcssly
mixed every day. The reports about Gordon
are 90 perp!cxing and his movements 90 con-
trary to all reasonable antlci pations that no.
body knows what can be done or what Is going
to happen. 1t was duo to the general disor-
eanizatioI that tho Times WAS taken in by tho
canard ttat Lord Wolseley was about to be
Withdrawn. and made itself supremely ridicu-
