LONDON, December 9th.-Seven Parlia-
, mentary seats remain to be declared The
Liberals count upon obtaining three of

eral Clubs, is current, to the effect that Mr.
Gladstone has decided to seize the first
chance to oust the Conservatives He is
sad to be eager for office, proposing to con-
clude his public life with the production of
home rule measure for Ireland.

tions with the Liberal leaders He pro-
poses not to present himself at the bar of

ylded the Liberals viii introduce and sup
port bill allowing members electto affirm
instead of taking the oath.
The number of members of the new
House OF Commons who never before were
elected to Parliament is 332 This has had

What is Thought Abroad OF the Presi-
dents Message.
LONDON, December 9th.-The Daily Ne,rs
editorially says: President Clevelands
message seems TO place him in the true
succession to greater men, who have occu-
pied the Presidential chair, rather than TO
late Democratic lines. 1t is conceived in
the most just and friendly spirit toward all
foreign powers, and contains no word 10
tickle the ears Of American "jingoes'
| The message expresses a sentiment of in
ternational goodwill. 1t IS equally wise
and prudent on ali d0mestic topics.
The Post says: Some of the Old World
statesmen might ponder with benefit over
some OF Mr.. Cievelands reasons touching
the Nicaragua treaty
The Standard says: The message is
temperate and dignihed, and goes far
towards justifying Mr.. Cleyelands reputa-
ton. The message contrasts very favor
ably with some OF the mild dispatches of
Mr.. Frelinghuysen and Mr.. Blaine Mr..
Cleveland's policy, on the whole, is worthy
of adoption. Austrias action in refusing
to receive Mr.. Kelly accords with we'll
understood precedents in the right to re-
fuse an exequatur, which conflicts with
the American Constitution. The sooner
| the republics laws are put in keeping with
| international laws the less such difficulties
! will be likely TO occur.
The Times says The Presidents message
reflects in tranquil and unexciting para
graphs on the happy detachment from in
ternatonal jealousies and quarre,s which
| 1t is the peculiar good fortune of America
to enjoy. 1t cannot be said that Cleveland
fails to deal with the practical and material
interests of men.
