LONDON, October 3l.-The Home Rule
party has already held ore-hAlf Of its eoun
/ ty conventions in, Ireland. In every one
Of these Mr.. Psruelfs dominance ERs not
even contested. The result Of these con
ventions has, therefore, that tbirty.four
Parnellite candidates for Parliamentary
seates have been nominated to receive the
Home Rule vote, and iu every case the
nomination was made without q single
division. Twenty Of these nominees are
new men, who have never been members
the House Of Commons.
In England the Irish cause is beginning
to attract great deal Of respectful atten-
ton from persons who, not long ago, utter
ly ignored it as-unworthy of consideration.
Prominent Irishmen in London have com.
bined to establish in the metropolis an
Irish clRb, on basis equally sound and
respectable with that enjoyed BY tha best
of the other great political clubs. This
enterprise has already made considerable
advance Suitable premises near the par
Lament buildings and business centres
have already been secured, but great
number of solid subscribers must yet be
obtained before the Irish club can be as.
sured Of permanent success,
THE EASTERN DIFFICULTY.
The Kingdom OF Greece has been obliged
by nj events 10 carry economy to the
point of largely reducing the number of
officials employed on the State staff and
is nov meditating on the expediency Of re-
duciug all State salaries Eve per cent. and
of deductipg q similar amount from all
payments due from the public treasury.
The reduction to be maintained during the
mobilization of the army.
The St. Petersburg slav committee have
sent 5000 winter oyercosts to the Balgsr-
ian troops engaged in the present uprising
against Turkey.
The prevailing opinion among European
statesmen is that the conference OF the
powers convened at Constantinople at the |
Porte's request to decide upon the best
mode of adjusting the Balkan trouble is
that the con erencs will end in q complete |
failure. This is deemed inexpedient be.
cause Of the nature OF the division among the
parties to the conference. England, Ffapce
and Italy will, 1t is thought, stand firmly
together in favor Of standing by the &C
couplished fact OF the union of Bulgarian
and Eastern RoumeliR under Prince Alex /
suder while Russia, Germany and Austria |
will insist on the restoration Of the status
QUO ante. When the Sultan frat called
the conference three empires loudly de.
clsred their intention Of insisting upon the
restoration Of status quo ante, but since
England, France and Italy have
Joined hands on the question
the empires have changed their
diplomatic uttersnce and nov say they will
insist upon the restoration of the status quo
ante as preliminary bssis for argument,
that is they will not discuss the question at
the conference unless the condition exist
ing in the Balkan States Just previous 10
,herecent union Of Rounelis with Bulgaria
is first agreed to ss a basis Of agreement. |,
This may be taken as
HIGH SOUNDING BACEDOwS.
1t amounts to simply this, Russia. Ger.
many and Austria will decline TO discuss
the situation upon the only basis accept
able to England, France and Italy, while
these three powers will not discuss it on
the basis demanded BY The empires Hence,
il the conference sdjournS, the whole ques-
,ion will be relegS,ed to Turkey, which
tried to escape it by throwing it upon the
conference. Turkey will not know .
which way TO turn, for if she
tries to depose Alexander and disuDite
Bulgaria and Roumelia she will be acting
contrary to the declared policy OF England
AMI her two partners, while il she allows
the union to continue che will be opposing
the emperors of Russia aud her sister en- |
pires, and if Turkey remains inactive no /
foresight can discern the Importance Of the
outcome of the continuance Of Prince
Alezarder's sscendency. The chances |
are thst Turkey unless drawn !
by selfdefense to fight the
rebellious states will remain inactive and
allow the balkan mine to co oltinue being
charged with political dynamite uLtil
inevitable explosion rends Europe.
Dispatches from ConstAntinople tonight, |
state positively that Prime Minister Sails
bury has explicitly instructed the English
representative at the Conference to insist
for England upon the continuance Of the
union Of Bulgaria and Roumelia.
The dispatches also state that the French
delegate has received identical instruc
tions from his governm. Mt With those sent !
to the Epglish delegate on all the main
points cf the controversy, and that Russia
has ordered his delegates to oppose the
Bulgarian union and to insist upon the
deposition Of Prince Alexander.
The latest sdvices from Constautinople
aver that Turkey with the aid Of German
officers is doing her utmcst to improve the
condition of her army, and that German
officials are adVising the Sultan in his
civil affairs.
