LONDON, Aug. 0.-Tho English receive with sotno
concern the news Of American mediation oe'wec"
Franco and China. English diplomati"'s nave
LONG since been aware Of tho present American
M,n,s,er,. views of the possibility of greatly en-
larging American influence IN Eastern seas iney
suspect that Mr. Young means TO seize this ocea-
.ion 10 strike some blow at English political ana
commercial supremacy In China. Later dispatches
,o-oay deny that France has accepted
wediation and regret that the French squadron
has bombardcd aud captured Keel-ung, in Formosa'
PROGRESS OF AGITATION
The diversion of public attention from the con-
Nict with sae Lords TO Egypt has been but moment
ary. Mondays proceedings at Birmingham nave
gwen a new turn TO the campaign and produced
ooeo IMPRESSION throughout the country Mr..
Rights speech TO an audience Of 2Oooo al
BinQlev Hall is his greatest effort Tor years
His historical summary Of the Lords mistakes
and nolitical iniquites was heartily cheered, but
In. proposal of a remedy-that of allowing the
Lords to reject any bill once bat not twice-was
coldly received. Birmingham thinks that too mod
crate. Mr. Chamberlain, in Difference to his col
leagues IN the Cabinet abstainc1 from offering q
plan, but his whole powerful and brilliant speech
pointed straight to the abolition Of the Lords as
the sole means of checking their continual abuse
ofleGslatiye authority.
Various meetings have been held since that
demonstration, and speeches of MINOR i'm
portance have been made, but they have
not much adva ced the discussion though
they have marked a tendency Of the Nod
crate Liberals to take strong ground in favor Of
abolition.
TORY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
To-day's Tory gathering at Manchester has atwo-
fold significance. The Tories appear to have aban-
doned the futile effort to dispara-e the agitation
aud TO have discovered a chance of using IT them
selves on great scale. Manchester is
meant as an answer to birmingham. Lord
Salisbury opposes Mr.. Bright. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill defes Mt Chamberlain.
The simultaneous appearance of Lord Salisbury
and Lord Randolph Churchill on the same plat
form sets public seal on the reconciliation az
ranged last week on terms not made public. Sir
NJ. Hcks-Beach's presence is understood to
foreshadow as not remote his succession to Sir
Stafford Northc0te as the leader of the House of
Commons. Lord Randolph Churchill serving under
him. The present frst-leutenant theory is
strengthened 10y Sir Stafford Northcote's absence.
COLLAPSE OF THE CONFERENCE.
Mr. Ghdstonc's announcement of the collapse of
the Conference of the European Powers respecting
Egypt produced an explosion of delight The Eng
lsh without distinction of party rejoice that Eng
land has recovered liberty of action i'm Egypt and
applaud the huuness with whch Lord Granville
repcIcd the Gual attempts of NJ. Waddlngton to
hamper future policy and topostpone decisive steps
hy adiouuus the Conference tll October Instead
OF uuc die lhe Ministry has now fresh
start aud stands for most practical putposoa nearly
where IL did after rcl.ol.Kohit with tho additional
strength derived from It's appeal to Europe and tho
failure of Europe to aefor lhofo Ia pretty
unanimous admission that England can and must
henceforth act alone Egyptian stioLa rose with
bound, manly because the cutting OF the coupon
was postponed, but have since fallen from
the uncertainty of the financial prospects
and the belief that the Ministry are resolved
80 adhere to a view which must ultimately reduce
the interest.
