CONSERVATIVE QUARRELs.
Lord Randolph Churchiips quarrel with the
leaders of the Conservative party has produced
many columns of literature this week in the jour
nals the Liberals joyfully dwelling on the disagree
ment as proof of split in the Tory
camp. What Lord Randolph attempted was
to take the control of the organization of the Tory
orito Nnr,,, .
representing Lord Salisbury and Sir Stafford North
cote and to transfer it to Council of the National
Union Of Conserva ative Associations, of which he
himself is chairman. He declared his design to be
70 substitute a general committee of the party,
elective and represen tative. for the present
self-appolnted and irresponsible Junta. In the
course of the struggle Lord Randolph Churchill
addressed letter to Lord Salisbury, which the lat
ter's friends deemed sufficiently insoent to termi-
nate personal relations between them. The party
ultimately succeeded in defeating Lord Randolph
Churchill in his council, whereupon he resigned
His resignation was followed by the publication of
angry letters on both sides. The Tories saw with
chagrin their leaders engaging in controversy in
the newspapers and the unity of the party appar-
about to engage the enemy. The immense efforts
made to arrange matters proved successful. Lord
Ra dolph Churchill yesterday put IN penitential
appearance at meeting at the Carlton and promised
TO support the leaders. He mas postponed his
threatened Journey to the Continent. sundry
cessons are reported to have been made to him in
return, but the victory rests at present with Lord
Salisbury and Sir Stafford Northcote.

measure again to introduce the bill in the House of
Lords.
That chamber yesterday rejected the bill to pro-
hibtpigeon shooting by thirty majorlty-less than
was feared--the Archbishop Of Canterbury and
seven other bishops handsomely supporting the
bill.
The Franchise bill in the House of Commons
makes slow progress in Committee Of the Whole |
House.

throw it out as they convinced that 1t will be

of the proceedings in regard TO the Presidential
succession in America. but venture upon few com
