LONDON, June 6.-No progress has been
made during the past week in allaying the
dissensiOns in the British cabinet. The
government is on the verge of disruption,
Mr.. Chamberlain, ambitious to become an
English premier, and Sir Charles Dixie,
radical, still Stubbornly refuses to assent to
Gladstone's announced policy of renewal
OF the Irish crimes act. 1t
is true that the grand old man" retreated
from his original position on this question
far enough to admit that the government
now We're only to renew the bill modified,
but the rebels in the cabinet insist that
there exists in Ireland to-day no reason and
no prospect OF any reason for renewal in
any form. While neither Mr.. Chamberlain
nor Sir Charles Dixie has personally stated in
public that ne will resign from the cabinet
If the premier persists in his renewal policy,
1t is generally understood, though they
have not actually threatened to do so, and
1t is not believed that the modified policy
announced yesterday has in any way
altered the threat. The quarrel in the
cabinet has, in fact: extended to
ether matters. The radical min
lsterS are just as much opposed
to the plan of the electoral campaign form
ulated for the coming election by the Whig
members as they are to the renewal Of the
crimes act. The number of ministerial
REBELS ON THIS POINT
is larger even than that arrayed against the
bill. Mr.. Chamberlain, chamber
lain Of the board of trade, Sir Charles
Dixie, president of the local government
board, Mr.. Trevelyan, John Bright's
in the chancellorship,
OF the duchy of Lancaster, and Mr.. G. X.
Shaw Lefevre, successor to the great Faw-
cett, as postmaster general, all insist on a
radical platform. These gentlemen agree
that the principal planks i'll the Liberal
platform should be: First, a reform in the
constitution Of the house of lords, by re-
ducing the number of hereditary seats
and increasing the number of life
titles; second, reform of the law of
entail, which will work toward division
rather than concentration of land titles;
third, general reform in the land laws of
Great Britain, to the end that the number
OF holders i'll fee be increased, and titles to
land be more easily obtained; fourth, for
Ireland the widest possible measure of self
government consistent with the unity of the
British empire; fifth, public
DENOMINATIONAL EDUCATION
on the principles accepted by the Irish
party. The Whig faction in the cabinet
refuses steadfastly to adopt any of these five
principles in the platform of the Liberal
party for the coming campaign. Hence the
party will enter the canvass weak from lack
OF cohesion. On this account it is
more than probable that Mr.. Glad
stone will remain in politics and power,
for the purpose of personally conducting
the campaign for his party. The Liberals
have no other man competent for the task.
Gen. Lord Wolseley is engaged in the prep
aration of an official report on the charges
preferred against Gen. Sir Gerald Gresham,
commander Of the Suakim-B Berber expedi-
ton, and Gen. Mcneil, commander OF the
advance force of this expedition, for neglect
of duty and incompetency in the conduct of
their campaign. Ii the.report be unfavor-
able both generals will be subjected to a
special inquiry by a military council.
The outspoken denunciations of the con-
duct of the government toward the British
Afghan boundary commission, said to have
been made by Sir Peter Lumsden, on his
way home, since his. recall, have induced the
British war office to ask whether the
NEWSPAPER INTERVIEWS
are accurate reports of what he has said.
Sir Peters answer to the interrOgatOry is
awaited with interest. The authorities in
the war office undoubtedly sympathize
with'S Peter LumSden, but the members
of the cabinet are exasperated over his
stinging criticisms Of the governments
management of the Afghan dispute, and
they demand that he repudiate them
or be punished by some signal mark
of displeasure of the government
Sir Peter Lumsden's friend say he meant
every word attributed to him in these inter-
views, and that he will not retract a word.
He believes, his friends argue, that the
government outraged the country and dis
graced the Afghan Boundary commission,
and that he will abandon his office rather
than retract any of his criticisms
The Russian report that Abdurrahman,
the ameer of Afghanistan, has been muir
dered by his suite. is not credited at the
British foreign Office. Couriers from Cabul
arrive at the British posts on the Afghan
frontier twice a week, regularly. In the
latest reports brought to the British agents
at these posts there was no news of any
ACTUAL DISORDER
in Afghanistan, but the general situation in
the ameer's dominion has been described in
all recent reports as one betokening danger
to the ameer's authority. This has been at
tributed to the discomfort among the tribal
chiefs over the ameer's failure to distribute
among them the sums of money which the
chiefs believed he received from the Earl
of Dufferin, viceroy of India, that
the recent DuerbaS, at Rawald Pindi, with
which to subsidize the Afghan tribes. The
chiefs have all along felt certain that the
ameer was intrusted with large sum of
money for their benefit and that of their
tribesmen, and they have chafed under the
failure to get what they have expected as
their shares. 1t would not be surprising if
some of these disappointed chiefs should
haveresolved to adopt murder as revenge
upon the ameer.
The government Of India, besides COM
pleting the projected railway to Pisheen,
will construct an ''alternative line" through
the Bolan pass, and will build a military
road from Deeregahazi to the Pisheen
plateau. The cost of these national works
WILL EXCEED $25, ,OOO,O 600.
From Berlin it is stated that Prince Bis
marck, in reply to an address sent him by
the peasant congress, at present in session
at Koestritz, asking him to use hisinfuence
in securing the adoption.amOng nations of
bi-metalisln, said he could at present
give no personal opinion upon the subject,
as the entire question of bi-metalism had
been submitted to the consideration of COM
petent authority.
The Berlinese and Germans generally,
are still greatly puzzled over the mysterious
death of Herr InterbOck, an eminent jour-
nalist. His death, although at first re-
garded as somewhat singular, was deemed
natural. Interbock was found insensible
on the pavement in front of his residence,
at late hour in the night. He was carried
into the house and placed under the care of
physicians. They found him unconscious
from hemorrhage of the lungs, and when he
bled to death the doctors certified that he
