Mr.. Ralfour has just caused to be pub
ished fpr general circulation brochure on
the 1r14h question. In this the new chief
secreta1y strongly supports home rule for
Ireland but contends that this home rule
shall ktend to local interests only. His
argument tor this is the favorite one of the
Toriesaviz: That it is as necessary for the
general welfare OF Ireland sitaeh as it il for
the stragetic security of Great Britain that
in all national affairs the present state Of
dependence shall be maintained and that
all concession to Ireland shall be based on
the absolute maintenance of England's
imperial control. Another idea is elabor-
ated in this brochure, namely, that in any
new organization of the government Of
Ireland the rights of the Irish Tories, such
as the loyal minister in Ulster, must be re-
spected and maintained. While it may be
said that these statements lack definitneess,
still it must be admitted that they indicate
remarkable change of attitude in the Con-
servative feeling toward Ireland
The Paris Gaulois affirms that Prince
Bismarck directly influenced the Marquis
Of Salisbury's acceptance of Office through
the German princess imperial, the daughter
of the queen. He advised the queen Of the
imminent possibility of change in reign in
Germany, and said renewal of the alliance
with England was desirable. The queen
then renewed her insistance that the Mar
quis Of Salisbury should accept Office, and
he complied.
The Marquis of Salisbury, the new prime
minister, and Baron de Staal, the Russian
ambassador, will resume negotiations on
the frontier question this week.
THE NEW ENGLISH MINISTRY.
Queen Victoria threw her influence into
istry. The Marquis of Salisbury declined
to form new cabinet unless the liberals,
under the lead of Gladstone, would agree
to work in harmony with the conserva-
tives. In view of the fact that the conserve
tives and radicals had just overthrown the
liberals such demand was substantially
equivalent to declining to accept power.
Mr. Gladstone promised to use his influence
with the liberals to prevent factious oppo-
istion and at the queens urgent request the
Marquis of Salisbury decided to accept that
pledge and the following cabinet is an
nOunced.

GEN. GRANTS CONDITION.
Up to the 25th there had been no material
change in Gen. Grants condition.
The physicians attending Gen Grant pub
lished on the 25th the first bulletin they
have issued for month. They report that
the disease is progressing slowly but
surely. The removal to Mt. McGregor has
proved favorable, but affords, of course
only temporary relief. He spent most OF
the day out Of doors and talked only with
his pencil, writing on the tab he keeps con
stantly with him.
Gen Grants condition was not so favor
able on Saturday and Sunday. His phys
icians attribute it to over exertion in his
work upon his book.
