ANXIETY.
After the governments explanation ia
the house OF commons yesterday, the
opposition was half inclined TO with
draw Lord George Hamilton's motion
ana the debate fell fiat. Members
showed far more anxiety about the re-
suit of to-night's division, which is GER
tain to be very close. Grave doubts are
expressed as to whether the govern
mont will adhere TO its decision to re-
sign If defeated, and the result will de-
pend ON the Parnellites.
REPORTS FROM RUSSIA,
IL is reported that Russia is adding
1900 troops to her frontier guards in
Poland, ON the lines toward Austria and
Prussia. Such action on Russia's part
necessitates an equal increase of troops
ON the Austrian and Prussian sides.
Russian papers suggest the submittal OF
hussias Dill lor war preparations To a
mediator between the two nations, with
the understanding that England shall
pay the bill If the arbitrator decides
that England IL the responsible cause OF
the dispute.
A WRAP AT THE MINISTRY.
In the course ofthe debate in the COM
mons last night, Mr.. Henry Chapter,
conservative, charged tha the expendi-
tnre of 80 much blood and treasure and
the ruin that had been caused in the
Seudan we're due to the efforts to save
the seats of an imbecile ministry. Lord
Randolph Churchill admitted that the
meaning OF the amendment was Ia
enable the ministers TO quit their
seats with grace aud dignity. The 10.
rles, he said, had shown that they were
not the war party, but that those who
had obtained the vote of Ell 900 were.
GLADsToNE's GAME or GAR.
Gladstone, in reply TO Sir Stafford
Northcote in parliament yesterday, said
that Sir Stafford repudiated
the grounds of the motion
which has been proposed and
approved by his supporters. The oppo-
sition had pressed the motion without
waiting for the promised papers. and
made up for their deficiency of knowl.
edge by variety of suggestions. When
the papers were presented IL might ap-
pear that Sir Peter Lumsden had re.
turned in full conformity with the gov
ernment, and that a frontier had been
secured through friendly relations be-
tween LORD Dutlerin and the ameer. It
might also be found that
when the government took a gloomy
view of their position they were doubt
lul OF gaining the objects they were con
tehdlnB iori ana That his more cheeful
speech on the following Monday was
made when those objects had been
gained. IL was not without pain and
regret that he had seen change in the
attitude OF tho opposition as soon as the
blessed prospect of peace offered, and
when IL was found war had been
averted, which would have been ca
lamity TO England, Russia civilized
and tho whole world. cloud
