THE OLD WORLD.
In France the political situation remains
strained. NJ. Flouquet, president Of the
chamber of deputies, N. Lockroy, NJ. Glenn
enceau and n. Ranc have arranged for such
concerted party action during the ''ballot-
ages'' of the 18th inst. as will give the
united Republican vote to the candidates
who received the highest number of votes
in last Sundays election. M. Flouquet's
influence with Republicans is dominant just
now. NJ Flouquet has had an interview
with President Grevy. 1t is stated that the
latter is arranging the formation of a Goa
lition ministry which would be ready to as
sumo Office instantly If the present cabinet
breaks up before the meeting of the
chamber. It is reported that M. Flouquet
has urged NJ. Grevy to expel the Orleanists
from France and to prevent the projected
marriage between Prince Waldemar, son of
the King of Denmark, and Marie, daughter
of Due de Chartres NJ. Flouquet believes
it to be the duty Of the republic to sup
press, if possible, all alliances of this kind
made with a view of maintaining and
strengthening royalist aspirations in
France.
Mr.. Gladstone has openly assumed the di-
rection of the Liberal campaign. He has
already managed to compass the difficult
ties between Lord Harrington, leader of the
Wings, and Mr.. Chamberlain, leader of the
Radicals. The latter was making such
headway that Lord Harrington became
alarmed and threatened to withdraw from
active management in the campaign unless
Mr.. Chamberlain were so far curbed at
least as to be unable to commit the whole
Liberal party to his schemes of radical re-
form. The ex-premier summoned the ex-
president Of the local government board to
Hawarden. The result of this meeting has
been that Mr.. Chamberlain has agreed to
modify the program Of reform during the
campaign, at least, and the evolution of q
plan for dealing with the rivalries of the
different candidates.
London had fifteen million dollar fire
on the 9Th. It began in the Charter house
buildings, a row of thirteen eightrstory
warehouses, on Aldersgate street. The
flames spread with such rapidly that in a
few hours the whole of the building, in
Guiding the contents, were almost totally
destroyed. The origin of the fire is un-
known. The row was mostly occupied by
fancy goods dealers, furriers, toy stores
and printing offices. One bank was also in
the buildings. This institution was the
only one that escaped being burned COM
pletely out.
