her God my God.
The Toronto Globes London CORE
spondent interviewed Sir John A. Macdon-
aid on his arrival there who said: The
main object OF his visit to the old country
was to gain short rest. Dnring his stay
he hoped to give attention to one or two
matters OF Canadian interest, notably to
fishing and the reciprocity question with
the United States. AS to this subject, Sir
John expresses himself very hopefully. It
was, he admitted, by no means certain that
President Cleveland, IS promised proposalto
congress for the appointment OF Joint
commission would meet with acceptance,
but he thought the outlook was favorable,
as he considered there was a much stronger
feeling in the United States in favor of
reciprocity than had previously existed.
Sir John apprehended no difficulty in COM
ing to any understanding that might be
necessary with the imperial government,
whichever party might be in power.
In an interview a few days ago M. Cowen,
NJ. P, said: The Liberals would assume
Office before March. This was a pity in
view OF Lord Salisbury's foreign success.
County boards would not satisfy Ireland.
If the Orangemen did not better the Tories,
the latter would speedily devise satisiac-
tory system of home rules. It lis not likely
that the Orangemen would allow the Wings
to prevent the Liberals carrying a home
rule measure in the next parliament.
There would be deadlock and certain dis
solution within eighteen months. The par
lament would be uncertain and unsatis-
factory. Mr.. Cowen was in favor OF any
scheme Of home ruling allowing the Irish
to manage their own affairs, while uphold
inv hn Sv%a re
act OF an Irish parliament would be to es-
tab!ish protection, which England would
probably not allow.
A dispatch has been received at the state
department. from Minister Lathrop at St.
Petersburg stating that the gold-mo unted
sword which the president sent by Lieut..
Shueltzfor presentation to Maj. Gen. Licher-
naeff, governor of Yakutsk, was left at the
United States legation at St. Petersburg by
Lieut.. Shueltz, when he learned on his ar
rival that Gen. Lichernaeff had died leav-
ing no children. In accordance with the
subsequent directions of the president
Minister Lathrop presented the sword
through the minister Of foreign affairs to
the emperor of Russia. who accepted it and
directed it to be placed inathe Imperial ar
senel, there to remain as another bond OF
the friendship existing between the two
countries. 81 II

sions provides for the pensioning OF all

Mr.. Gladstone says: Only an Irish par.
Lament will meet the case. Local councils
etc, would be useless. The right to vote
the acts OF an Irish ministry would be an
illusion. 1 propose instead the exercise
ters responsible to the Imperial parliament
The suggestion Of an Irish privy council is
nworthy OF attention. The privy council
survives only as q relict. The substitute
is a cabinet. The questions of commerce
and police are difficult ones, but the limita
tions believe that home rule may be safe
ly granted, and that it would tend to raise
the charactes OF the Irish members.

the steamers in port which had put out tt

A cable dispatch from London states
that the decision OF the privy council OF
the license question was rendered. 1t sus
tains the right Of the provinces to exclu
sively control the issue Of licenses. Thi
decision invalidates the dominion act.
