LONDON, August 10 The holiday
pause in legislation Is TO be much
shorter than usual. as the houses were
prorogucd until October 3ist, only
Prime Minister Salisbury will not
tarry long ut Hatfield. lie has ar
ranged to go next week to Cecil
Chalet at Dieppe, France. lie will
| return TO London on the 9TH of Sep
tember, assemble the cabinet aud open
the tory campaign. The only new
phasr in home politics which has de-
veloped during the past week is the
activity ofagitation in favor of church
disestablishment. MIR. Jesse Col
lings, radical member of parliament
for Ipswich, Mr.. Henry Labouchere,
Mr.. Richard DIllwyn and other radi-
Gals, make disestablishment the main
plank IN their platform, ard insist
that the church funds should be ap-
piled for educational purposes.
The campaign is already exciting
and the deputies who are seeking re-
election are all ON the stump already.
THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
The issue OF the French election
becomes daily more difficult to fore
cast. The POLITICAL situation in that
republic is much the same as 1t is in
England, party lines are largely
drawn, parties are badly mixed and
no one can tell which side will be the
larger when the Encouragement Is
completed. The French radicals how
ever seemed to have increased their
confidence since M. Clcmencau began
his stamping tour. His pot-au-ieu
policy Is finding greater assistance
among the pcasantry than is that of
Nj. Ferry, of proposed national eX.
penditure aud colonial expansion. II
may be said with truth that whatever
changes may occur in the relative
strength of the parties IL is certain
that the French elections will result
in the return of very different per-
sonnel from that which now controls
the civilization of the country. AT
least four.iiiths of the chamber of
deputies will be composed of entirely
new men.
MIR. sTANLEy's RIVAL.
NJ. DE Brazza, SANKEY'S rival in AZ
rica, will soon return TO France. lie
will be splendidly recognized by the
government Tor his work In central
Africa, and will he made all officer OF
the Legion of Honor. Congo land
will he embodied in the government
of Gaboon and NJ. DE Brazza will be
given II sort OF general charge of the
French colonial interests in Africa by
special appointment.

aud to construct telegraph line to
Cabul, the capital OF the ameer's do
minions. The work on the telegraph
line is already in progress. Abdur-
rahnan, the amecr, has expressed a
wish to have the line end at Canda-
har, and has refused to guarantee to
maintain il in safety beyond that
point. General McGregor and Major
Nicholson have left Simla, India. to
form an entrenched camp in the
l1sheen Valley aud construct u mill

nund river.
