cOmpelleQ TO regard as nOSCllo aCC any
move of Russia toward Herat. On the
other hand it is assured Russia has
spontaneously diSclaimed any men-
acing intention regarding Herat.
The British government is favOrably
inclined to consider that the question at
issue between England and Russia has
reached settlement satisfactory to both
countries. The documents submitted to
parliament to-day, covering the Anglo
Russian dispute up to the time OF the
Penjdeh incident, tend to show aggression
on the part of the Russian government upon
the ameer's territory, Of which Herat is-the
salient point.
A dispatch from Paris this evening states
that Gen. Briere de Lisle telegraphs under
to-day's date from Hanoi as follows: "Chi-
nese emiSsarieS state that the evacuation of
Thuyanquam is now actively proceeding.
Rebel chiefs are arriving at our camp and
rendering submission"
THE QUARREL
in the cabinet over the advisability of re-
newing the Irish crimes act came to head
this evening. A majority OF the ministers,
headed by the Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
chairman OF the board of trade, advocated
the abandonment of the act. This minor
ltJ WdO ONClUOlIiC dliu tilO SOfClu-
ment have decided to proposea renewal for
two years of the act in modified form.
The Parnellites are this evening indignant
at the government for this decision. They
have privately warned the ministers that
the effect of any attempt to renew the at
tack, even in greatly mitigated form, will
be the throwing of the influence of the
Home Rule vote on the English constituent
cies with the opposition. Ministerial az
rangements have been made to bring
the present parliamentary session to
a close by the middle of
the coming July at the furtherest. In all
likelihood this intention will be thwarted
by the determination of Mr.. ParnelPs fol-
lowers to resist the passage of the re-
newal bill. Mr.. Parnell is a master Of par
liamentary tactics and If the renewal bill
be Objectionable to his party there can be
no doubt that he will so obstruct its pas
sage as to prolong the session uncomfort-
ably. He may be able to
EXTEND THE SESSION
for several weeks and then tire out the gov
ernment. There is another cause of es-
arrangement between the Parnellites and the
ministerialists, and this is the interference
of the government, through Mr.. Errington,
the special British agent at the Vatican, in
the appointment Of Catholic archbishop
for the diocese of Dublin to
succeed the. lates Ndinal McCabe. The

See eaaffd and has: Nationalist SYM
pafhies. Besides the Catholic clerical con-
clave which met in Dublin to elect nomi-
nees for the place elected Dr.. Walsh as
first choice of the three candidates.
United Ireland, the organ of Mr.. Parnell,
who is himself an Episcopalian, speaks with
the voice of the whole Irish party when it
laments the success Errington has achieved
with the Holy Father. and says that the re-
lection by the Vatican through Mr.. Erring-
toms influence of DR.. Walsh, name and the
substitution of that of DR.. Moran is
A BLOW STRUCK
at the independence of the Irish Episco-
pacy and of Irish clerical rights. The
prayers and longings of the Irish prelates,
priests and people seem," says United Ire
land ''unavailing at Rome against the Sc
cret machinery of the English govern
ment."
Mr. Gladstone's promises to give Ireland
certain schemes for the extension of local
self-government and to facilitate land pur
chases have failed to soften Irish opposition
to his policy concerning the Irish crimes
act. They will accept nothing short of all
abandonment of the whole crimes bill.
The approach of the general election CAM
paign is bringing forward an unexpected
political strength among the British work
ingmen. The workingmen are cOncen-
trating everywhere upon labor candidates
for parliamentary seats. This is noticeable
particularly in many of the larger bor
oughs, such, for instance, as Glasgow,
Newcastle and other centerS of manufactur
ing industry. The workingmen of these
places are actively engaged in the work of
raising subscriptions for the purpose of
sending
WORKINGNlEN TO PARLIAMENT.
There can hardly be doubt that the rea-
son why there are at present so few repre-
sentatiyes of the poor men in the British
parliament to-day lies in the fact that no
man without secured livelihood can afford
to accept an unsalaried parliamentary seat,
and few labor constituencies can
afford to furnish salaries by
subscription. If members were to-day sal
aried like American congressman the house
in its character. Mr.. Joseph Arch, the ag
sented to contest the constituency
of West Norfolk and is sup
ported in his determination by the
ganized in parliament lines to raise num-
ber of worklnen to the magisterial bench
in Lancashire and Yorkshire and several
members oftrades associations have already
been offered magisterial appointments.

Mr.. DGIadstone, Sir Charles Dixie, colon

Vasali. Advance sheets of these letters

NUMBER OF SCANDALS
against the three gentlemen named. Some
of these scandals are old, but many of them
are new. 1t will, perhaps, be news to
most American readers that Mr.. Gladstone
is vulnerable to gossip, especially to gossip
concerning women. But Count Paul Vasali
refers circumstantially to the premier as
having been engaged in not very credita-
BILE intrigue with living woman described
as Laura B." who is known to many, and
who is described in the counts letter as a
woman who has contracted some very
respectable debts in Paris society, ''the
only thing about her," says Vasali. (which
can be called respectable" The
count in that part of his literature in
which he associates. the name of the British
premier with that of Laura b." who de-
clared that ''the beauty named had occa-
sion to send her portrait to her old admirer,
and Mrs. Gladstone, who jealously watches
over the whims and fancies of her husband,
sent the portrait back" Concerning the
same subject, Count Paul Vasali says,
among other things: 81 cannot tell you
