The Bulgarian Afrair--A View of the
English Political Situation.


English Political situation.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-tSrecial TO the BEE. i
England has consented TO enter the Constan-
tinOple conference. This ought to mean Lord
Salisbury has obtained some guarantee that
the Russian programme shall not be carried
out, but no assurance ON this point has been
made public The change in the situation
since last week is remarkable. Russia has
got round the porte, shaken its intention TO
recognize accomplished facts, and convinced
Germany that the restoration of the status
quo alte can only prevent an unknown meas
ure of complications. Germany is putting on
the usual pressure, and Austria, rs usual,
gives way. Russian diplomacy looks like
winning all along the line. Prince AleXan-
der will be discredited. IL not removed; he
must resume his vassalShip 10 Russia, Lord
Salisbury, if he allows Bulgaria TO be again
divided, will make desperate effort to save
Prince Alexander, in whose behalf the
queen is doing all she can. Lord Salisbury
knows, moreover, that handing over Roume-
lia again 10 Turkey must have u damaging
effect on the English elections.
The electoral contest continues amid the
confusion which has hitherto prevailed.
Gladstone's two attempts to harmonic the
contending sections of the liberal party have
failed; The manifesto that was intended TO
provide platform on which everybody might
stand has only served to mark the extent Of
radical incurslOns before its four corners.
Mr., .Chamberlain's summons TO HaWarde II
resulted in an Intellectual compromise. The
duel between the liberals aud radicals con-
puzzled public The truth is the liberals are
over confident in victory, and think, they
may indulge in factious dissensions with i'm
pun lty. The radicals seem much more
anxious to obtain ascendency in the liberal
eering, indeed, has been Of the dullest
character since Lord Salisbury spoke until
Lord Randolph Churchill entered the field.
But Lord Salisbury and Lord Randolph
Churchill are alike silent on one question
which the English public want answered !:
What are they going TO do about lreland?'
Yesterdays cabinet meeting is bcliev d TO
have resolved to continue to do nothing.
Lord Randolph Churehill's will, as usual
prevails, and lie regards the alliance with
Parnell as the sole hope of preventing q re-
turn of the radicals to power.
Nobody in England troubles the accuracy
Of Trevelyan's description OF The condition
of Ireland. In most parts of the island no
rent whatever is paid, ,bOycotting Is verilent
and almost universal, but the tory cabinet as
Englishmen think, prefers to tolerate . sub
version of law and social disorganizati0n
rather than lose the chances of buying Par
ncils support; Roughly speaking, England
has to choose between a policy which tends
tends towards an ultimate surrender to Par
nell and the policy which embodies a seri-
society. Both may be avoided If moderate
men regain control of both parties. but cN-
treme men at this moment are most intuen-
tial in both. .I
LONDON, Oct. 24.-It is now evident that
the parliamentary campaign will not pass OFF
without serious rioting in many quarters as
party feeling is already running high and
dS 1Se Ssa ors aDddas StsF 1r he h,S Maqs Of
when at Brenford seven miles west of Lon
don, delivered a speech. While addressing
the electors a mob assaulted him with rotten
and GE hs of he@ sng sgd the hs atS
pOrters of the marquis rushed to his rescue
and fight ensued. Lorne then
became thoroughly frightened and
hastily departed from the, scene,
to the railway station and Immediately de-
parted for London. Meanwhile the row con-
tinued, and the supporters of the marquis,
being severely handled, and discouraged by
leaving their, contestorss masters Of the field;
The latter then seized the platform and
passed q resolution c0nslenming the liberal
policy. When the queens son-in-law made
his appearance as q liberal candidate for
Hampstead, it occasoned cons derable sur
prise, and when in his address lie advanced
radical opinions, the surprise was greatly in
creased.
The marquis advocated immediate discs
tablishment I'm Scotland. He champoned
the, principles of the free land league, and
with a view to the encouragement of sub
division of land, suggested that the sales of
large estates en- bloc should be subject to
heavy taxation, while sales of land to be di-
vided into smaller lots should be left duty
free. He favored the extension of local
self-government, to Ireland, and infusion
INTO the house of lords Of elected mGmbers.
