LONDON, Sept. 19.-Mr. Gladstones
manifesto, published in the Scotch press
and a few papers in the North of England
Yesterday morning, only reached the Lon
don press last evening, and the comments
of the London dailieS appear for the first
time this morning. All agree to MI. Glad
stones moderation and reserve, but the
press criticisms do not affect the public
estimate of the Conservative tendency OF
the address, which would fifty be described
as the drag on the radical coach. In all
divergencies between Lord Harrington and
Mir. Chamberlain, Mr.. Gladstone leans
toward the former. On the land question
only does he seem to go in advance, and
here Interpretation varies. But he GER
tainly proposes abolition OF entail settle
ment and deals with land-like personal
property to be transmitted by will to the
next life. Only on Ireland is he explicit,
beyond asserting the necessity OF maintain
ing the union. His phrase respecting the
necessity Of maintaining all the authority
of parliament is taken to mean that he Is
indisposed to grant legislative freedom or to
90 to the full length of the Chamberlain
Morley school. His language, however, is
sufficiently wide to accept

and parliamentary veto. His views of
foreign policy are in the old vein. 1t leaks
out that Mr.. Gladstone personally opposed
Egptian intervention and both here and in
South Africa he seems to have learned
nothing in the last five years. The only
strain of pugnacity in foreign affairs IS
found in his illusions to Afghanistan where
he advocates preparation" The mani
feStO will probably fail to arouse radical en-
thusiasm. but Mr.. Gladstone has yet to
make his public appearance i'll Mid
lothian. In the meantime his ad-
dress is welcome to such divergent
personalities as Mr.. Goshen and Mr..
Chamberlain. The former considers that
Mr. Gladstone supports Lord Harrington in
four main parts of his domestic policy. Mr..
Chamberlain's brief commentary at Inver-
ness suggests disposition TO surrender his
program and displays less aggressive
ness than his Warrington speech. Mr.
Gladstone'S manifesto OvershadoWs all
other political topics, but the conservatives
make much of 1Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's
address at Cirencester, in which is found
the first sketch of the Tory domestic pro-
gram, and a spiritless disapproval

and Mr.. Plunllett's illusions at Gloucester
to the Irish question
INCREASES THIS UNEASINESS.
The nebulouS propositions of sir Michael
Hicks-Beach and the general anxiety of the
Conservative rank and file respecting Ire
land invest Lord Salisbury's deliverance,
which may be shortly expected, with in
creasing importance.
British Intervention in the HiSpano-Ger-
man quarrel has been exaggerated. The
English government has merely endeavored
to throw a safeguard around their large
commercial interests in the Carolines by sug-
geStng that in the event of an arrangement
between Berlin and Madrid British trading
rights shall not be prejud ced. A similar
arrangement has been made with Germany
respecting New Guinea, where both coun-
tries enjoy absolute equality in commercial
rights England certainly has not at
tempted to influence Spain to accept arbi-
tratiOn. Delay increases the prospect Of a
peaceful settlement. The Zulicar protO-
col is rOmdIy abused in st. Petersburg.
1t is a decidedly incOnvenient document for
Russia, as it practically traces the entire
boundary line, leaving a very small margin
for variation according to circum-
stances. Lord Salisbury has deliberately
attempted to fix the Russians and prevent
them finding opportunity of dispute without
a gross violation of compact.
CANINE INTELLIGENCE.
Sir John Lubbeerek's paper on Canine
Intelligence was the chief popular item at
the meeting of the British association. The
papers generally were not calculated to Stim-
ulate originality or arouse public interest.
The excursion to BalmOral was equally dis
appointing. The castle hospitality was
frugal, and the deliberate absence of the
queen has been much commented upon. The
reception was much better than the social
science congress obtained several years ago,
for on that occasion there were no re-
freshments, and the members were only
allowed to pass through the private grounds,
and then were sent back to Ballater, the
party being eight hours without food.
Balmoral hospitality is becoming a byword
except to Germans.
Social affairs are very dull. The holidays
are not over, and the theaterS consequently
postpone novelties. The Lerman-J ones
quarrel as to their respective shares in the
''Silver King" is causing much amusement
in the theatrical and literary circles.
Opinion, however, leans toward Jones,
whose later work goes to support his claim.
Report says that Sir Charles Dixie will
be married to the widow of the late Marx
PattlSon III ParIS next month. Slr Charles
holds aloof from politics, but will carry
Chelsea without difficulty.
Dispatches received from Spain this
morning indicate that, although the cholera
is vanishing from the infected districts, the
distress in the provinces is fearful. Desti-
tuition follows death, and the path of the
pestilence is marked by a broad swath Of
poverty. A dispatch from Jaen says
that the situation is SO horrible
that unless God takes pity on the wretched
population, they will entirely disappear
by deaths caused either by cholera or starv-
alton. Quarantine is enforced Illegally by
many towns, and travellers are kept fol
days in filthy huts unless they are able to
pay tribute or to foot the distance necessary
to take them beyond the lines of the strin-
gent measures. The bishop of Calahorra,
after being nearly dead with cholera, has
returned to the city and is now working il
its slums like a sanity slave to alleviate the
sufferings of the people.
