Ish Political Outlock-othsr Notes,
The British political event Of the week
has been the speech OF the Marquis Of Hart
lngJon. Having been assistant secretary
Of war and one Of Mr. GIadstoneis most
trusted ministers. the address is generally
accepted as a foreshadOWlng of the cam
paign which VIII be advocated by the hber-
al party.
The speech was so moderate and so utter
u diselaimed the more revolutionary pro
ieGts Of the radicals, that It has angered the
tories. 1t would appear from their denuH-
atoms as ST Lord Harrington had cleVerly
taken the ground from under the conssrV-
atives. Everybody is anLiOusly awaiting
some political utterance from Mr.. Glad
stone.
1t is thought he may have inspired Lord
Harrington, and that the speech wiz soon
be. backed up by 8 powerful address By the
Grand OlG man" This would leave the
situation thus: The tories, under the lead
Of Lord Randolph Churchill, is advocating
sort Of mild Parneliisn; the radicals, led by
MI Oseph Chamberlain, urging extreme
home rule.
The real conservatives and wings are far
apart, and q large body Of liberals and to-
RES are in a state of doubt, but with preju-
d1css hostile to the ParnelGtes. Mr.. Glad
stone is Tar more influential with the fol-
lowers of Mr. Chamberlain than the Mar
quis of Salisbury is with the follow eTs
Lord Randolph Churchill. AS the EXPIRE
mier is supposed to desire the return Of his
party to power, it is easy TO surmiss that
his policy viii be the combining OF the
wings and moderate conservatives against
the Irish party.
This scheme, if successful, would give
the liberals a sufficient m9jOEity in the
next house to throw the Parnellites out
from their present possession Of balance
and power. Without that possession the
Irish party would go to pieces. Then, Mr..
Gladstone having ParnsU shOrn, could
solve the Irish question by concessions
which would placats the people of Ireland
and leave Mr.. Parnen without an issue.
The question Of independence would dis
appear when the Irish had all they wanted
except that, which then would cease for
any essential purpose to be desirable. Mr..
Jesse Ceilings, radical member of IspWich.
speaking at Salt Barn. Yorkshire,
denounced Lord HartingtOn's address. He
described the eX-secretary's programme as
empty" and said it had already done
much to destroy liberal unity. 1t would
appear, however, that the destruction OF
this unity is Mr.. GladstOns' as purpose. Par
pelPs advice to his followers, to disCOunte- J
nance agrarian OuTages, is perceptablY I
bearing fruit. At the meeting Of the Cork
branch Of the national league, it was unan-
imously resolved to adhere to the Dublin
conference programme Of disaVOWing the
Outrages and supporting only such cand1- |
dates for parliament as would pledge them !
selves to act as a unit on the Parnellite |
programme. The principal speakers de- /
the Outrages.
Letters rom Egypt make it plain that /
the commission which made the idemnity /
awards which were paid on the Egyptian /
loan was a farce, a fraud of the worst kind. /
The commission, it is charged, ratified /
claims for thousands of francs which we're |
worth no more than the same number of i
confines. In many cases, after the cert IL /
Gates for claims, the commission was /
forced by the evidence of fraud, to cancel /
the awards, but in many others where |
fraud was equally as great, payments were |
made. 1t is positively stated that ma |
iority of the claims paid have gone into /
che pockets Of the members of an organized /
gang of finanCieEs,
Many influential foreigners residing in /
Egypt favor an English prOtectOrate over
the country, as the only means Of resCuiDg |
it from bankruptcy. The khediVe opposes |
the idea, but he does so secretly. He dis !
likes England. The Egyptian council OF
ministers recently discussed the question /
and majority voted in its favor, but the !
khediVe Overruled the vote.
Germany is fitting out four expeditions
for Arctic explorations, and recently sent ]
a note to the British admiralty asking for
any advice upon the subject which it was
willing to give. The admiralty replied
fully in a candid and generous spirit. This
has been received by Ger
many with the greatest courtesy.
