which nave taken place between Glad
stone, the Marquis Of Harrington and
Chamberlain show no common plat
form is possible, and Cham
berlaln has declined Eto ADAM
don the Radical propaganda of
taxation OF property, free education,
laborers' allottments at low rents, or
the scheme of home rule. The declar-
ntionS made by him in his speech at
Hull were followed by a rupture
with other Liberal leaders, and
were taken as an open
manifesto that he had unfurled the
flag Of leadership Of the Radicals and
that bencetorth he would be free from
the control of Gladstone or the Wing
party. The anxiety of the moderate
Liberals for the return Of Gladstone to
active political leadership be-
comes more intense. There
Is confusion without him,
Herbert Gladstone's information
to inquiries after his fathers health,
is that he has recovered tho full use OF
his voice.
GLADSTONE
tells his friends he hes undertaken
catching cruiae for the purpose OF es-
tablishing his vocal strength, SO that
he may he fitted to perform
prolonged platform work. In the
meantime he says any strain affects
his voice and he declines even to hold
conversation except OF short dura-
ton. Unbiased opinion prevails that
tho ex-premier, Notwithstanding the
efforts no is making to add to his
strength, will DO unable to take q
prominent part in the campaign.
THE TWO JOHNS.
The reported alliance between Eng
land and China proves to DO q rehash
OF the story OF similar agreement
which was current during the late war
crisis, thst Lord Granville, through
Marquis Iseng, had sounded the Pellin
government an TO the attitude Of China
In the event Of war between England
and Russia, the interchange of views
ending with the intimaLion from Pc
kin that China would maintain friend
ly neutrality. Siuce the appointments
OF Sir Rob2rs Hart 40 British
minister at Pekin the Marquis
Of Salisbury has made no overture
for an alliance. The statement made
by La Republiquo Francaise that an
alliance between England ana China
had been formed is merely sensational
and arose from 81 desire to justify Fer
ry's colonial expansion policy, which
included an increase of tho French
force in o-China.
FEAECE AND ENGLAND.
Sir Henry DrummOnd Wolff, British
envoy TO Egypt, hes arrived at Paris.

missioned officers and privates for the

THE GAZETTE AND THE GIRLS.

the women Of England, thanking the

The Pan Mall Gazette has weakened
its position by an article depr6cating
the raising Of the ago OF girls to Is, on
the ground that such law would de-
strOy the means of livelihood of hosts
otyOung girls already launched into
immoral life, The article says the

ton OF prostitution.
