allowing the Sultan to pass under German inuu-
o,cs and Sir John Kirk to be set aside The PrlEie
minister's statement will certainly provoke contro-
versy.
THE BURMESE QUESTION.
On the Burmese question Lord Salisbury IS mere
,.tsfactory It is generally believed that any oAtcr
,,;.o that England may undertake in this rcgon
will not result in annexation, but in the creation oil
q native State under fresh ruler controlled by
British Resident. Lord Ripons speech last night
Indicates that the Liberal party would support such
apolcy.
ANOTHER BID FOR IRISH SUPPORT.
II s sufficient to say Of the Whig speeches OF Lord
Harrington, Lord Derby, Mr.. Goschen and Mr.
Cbilders that they were moro directed to crushing
the arguments of the Radical wing than to answer
ing their Consery yativc opponents Mr.. ChillcrS
however. gave tho public a surprise by producing
detailed plan for tho settlement Of tho Irish did
Guilty. The bold. confident way in which hc appcr-
Toned the several functions Of Imperial and Irish
administrations under bis proposed arrangement
has given severe shock to many of Ills own friends
The transfer of tho police to the Irish local govern
mcnt is the chief point of objection. The Irish
papers arc delighted at this oIrr from man Of Mr.
Childcrss position. Lord Rossbery's declaration
on this sabcct went even TO tue cxtent Of conccdng
a federalzel Parliament. but it was accompanied
with this important qualification. that the loyalty
of ireland should frat bo beyond doubt.
DIsEsTABLISIIMENT NOT AN ISSUE.

@Grand Old Man" The Cutcry Of Liberal
clarchmen against forciug Oh al unrpc scLemc
alarmed Mr. Gladstone and other Liberal leaders.
Tho attitude of Cardinals Newman and Manning
in defence of tho Church has also accentsateA the
resistance to Radical demand
THE BALKAN SITUATION.
The divisions of the European Powers have given
rein TO King Milan AMI the Greek Government so
that the Balkan is OH tho verge Of hostilites
Scrvia having armed considers it necessary to fight
somebody and as Austria apparently keeps her
FROM entering Turkish territory she is now picking
a quarrel with Bulgaria. There is, however, a
chance that the astutcncss Of Prince Alexander
will again preserve him from disaster. If he
arrange will. King Milan for an adjustment of the
frontier in tho Widin District, and can complete
the secret g1tiatous in hand with TIC Sultan the
Powers will again bo circumyeuted In this way
all may be happily settled.
Russia continues its cadeayors to remove Prince
Alexander, if possible. Germany and Austria have
consented TO its proposal of conference, whose
first work will be to invite Prince Alexander to
withdraw fron Rolmelia as condition precedent
to recognition of his claims. This cumbersome
suggestion for discrcditng Prince Alexander in tho
eyes of his people is too transparent to gain
approval.
BOOKS NEW AND OLD.
Tho Greville Memoirs have not made the same
sensation as tho first instalmcnt OF tho book. TIE
work being tho private property of the editor has
tecn Mngularly dealt with. No arrangement was
made for an American issue, and it was only on
finding n newspaper a review last Thursday that
American agents here had an inkling of the books
existence. The issue was Immediately mailed, and
no doubt American rights have boen last through
Mr. Reeves obstinacy. You may look for publish

TIE ENGLISH STAGE
There is unparalleled dulness in the theatres.
Mr. Irving's production Of Faust for which the
public is looking. seems to have been indefinitely
postponed, the success of Olivia" being unexpect-
caly great. At birmingham Mrs Weldon has been
able after much contention with the censor, to
rake her debut in the drama Not Alone" The
piece promises WELL and Mrs Weldon, though a
