less of the sacrifice of English ascendancy IN Egypt
THE soUDAN BATTLE.
Military critics think that the accounts of General
Graham,s operations on Thursday and Friday point
to osman,s intention TO avoid general engagement
near Suakim, hoping that the English will either
retire 70 their ships or be drawn into more difficult
posi,ions. General Grahams handling OF the force
is thought clever The soldiers fought with cooness
and dash. The object and probable extent OF the
campaigu beyond protecting the beginning OF the
railway remain unknown.
BUSINESS OF PARLIAMENT.
The discussions and divisions in the House OF
Commons over the Redistribution of Seats bill
attract little attention. There were ominous signs
Mt the end of last week of refusal of the Tories TO
snnnort their leaders in carrying out the terms of
the Gladstone Salisbury agreement Hence there
was meeting of the Tory party at the Carlton Club
on Monday, where truce was patched up between
Sir Stafford Northcote and his mutinous followers
TIE disorganIzation of the Torres nevertheless is
daily more evident. Mr.. Bartlett. the chief agent
of the party, publishes letter saying that he has
resigned because be thought it hopeless to bring the
leaders into harmony with public opinion or to
induce them to adopt an energetic policy.
LIBERALS AND THE CAUCUS.
This delights the Liberals, who, however, have
plenty of troubles in their own camp. The success
sive attempts of the Bradford and Ripon caucuses
70 discipline Mr. Forster and Mr. Goschen have only
discredited the caucus. Mr.. Goschen, rejected as a
candidate by the Edinburgh caucus, win receive an
invitation TO stand signed already By more than
one-han of the whole number of electors
AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.
The attitude of the United States Government
toward Central America elicits little comment and
no serious criticism The feeling here is general
that 1T is not matter for European concern
DIPLOMATIC JOURNEY.
The Prince of wales's journey to Berlin is
regarded here and abroad a visible sign of the
complete reconciliation between Prince Bismarck
and the Engllsh Cabinet, and that all colonial and
other differences between England and Germany
are either settled or advancing to a settlement by
friendly discussion The Princes visit in order to
present congratulations personally TO the German
Emperor impresses diplomatists as an extraordinary
compliment

Matters 20 less smoothly for the Prince of Wales
