one period during the day, but the mar
ket closed better, although prominent
foreign securities were materially lower,
as compared with Fridays figures. On
the Paris Bourse there YVES a serious re-
lapse, and the market closed at the lowest
prices of the day. IN Berlin the stock
market was weak. Russian aud Austrian
securities dropped per cent.
THE BALKAN WAR.
The declaration of war by King Milan
against Bulgaria and the actual beginning
OF hostihties engage the undivided atten-
ton OF the people tonight, and yet it is
next 10 impossible to get any reliable news
from Bulgaria, owing to the expulsion of
most of the press correspondents, and the
difficulty the others have in getting their
DISPATCHES forwarded to telegraph offices.
The extraordinary Liberal campaign which
is being made in Scotland by MIR. Glad
stone is comparatively ignored for the
moment.
GLADSroNE's DIsESTABLIsHMENT SPEECH.
Despite the adverse criticisms made by
the editors of the great London dailies on
Mr.. Gladztone's treatment OF the dies
tablishment issue it cannot be denied that
he has succeeded largely in satisfying the
churchmen in England that the church is
lot threatened with immediate attack, nor
that be has pretty well convinced the
Scotch voters that for them the issue is g
separate one and within their own control.
AS time elapses this becomes daily more
clear, and the result is becoming appa-
rently advantageous to the Liberal cause.
The ex-Premier's great speech has stopped
the stampede from the Liberal party which
was taking to the Tory side thousands of
| men who had begun TO deem it their duty
to go that way to save the Church Of Eng
land, and it Will undoubtedly bring back
| to the Liberal ranks large proportion Of
the deseTters whose fears on this
| score had already driven them away. By
| his admission to the Scotch that SO Jar as
! they were concerned he willing to bring
| the question OF disestshlishment to an
issue whenever they desired it, it is
thought Mr. Gladstone really strengthened
! his following il Scotland. The Scotch
| have for several years demanded the ex-
| tension to them of ths privileges accorded
| Ireland in religious and land affairs, and
| perhaps majority Of those English
| Liberals who still insist on the main
tenance of a union OF the State and church
| in England have long been willing that
| Scotland should for herself have perfect
| freedom in the matter. Some persons
| contend that by refusing to pledge himself
| TO establishment in England AIr. Glad
stone has lost strength with the Radicals,
| but this can hardly be true, for the Radi-
Gals thoroughly appreciate the fact that
| they are act in majority in the Liberal
party. They desire the party's success,
and are intelligently willing to bide their
| time, which they firmly believe will come
| in the Parliament succeeding the next
one if it does not arrive sooner.
THE IRISH QUESTION.
| The probabilities are that Mr.. Gladstone
| will yet succeed in making the Irish ques-
| ton the main one before the election day.
Even now many politicians affect to see
| his Edinburgh Irish speech overlapping his
| disestebllsbment address in importance.
| It's effect on the Home Rule party is very
marked. The leading Parnellites already
manifest indications Of desire to come 10
terms with the grand old man." Several
| of Parnelps organs openly advocate such
| an alliance. The Dublin FreeHadn's Journal
to-day says that Mr.. Gladstone has yet
| ample time before election to meet Mr..
| ParnelPs reasonable demands. The ex-
| Premier, the Journal contends, can, before
| he concludes his Midlothian campaign, so
| place his party On the irish question that
an alliance with the Parnellites will be q
matter of course. All the paper asks is
| that Mr.. Gladstone shall be sincere, ike
Mr.. Parnell, who, the Journal says, is al
ways in earnest, and it would be vel for
Mr. Gladstone to be earnest also. United
1 IreiGn5, Mr.. Parnell's own organ,
insists that the Lore rule question
| is recognized by all the frst stateSmen OF
Great Britain as the leading issue OF the
hour in British politics, and says that
| frGE which ever party its settlement
comes, ths settlement will probably be a
| mere wTaDge over aetaite. This latter
| utterance must be considered important.
1t was undoubtedly inspired by the great
| Irish leader, and was probably meant to
convey to the League the information
that the Irish party managers no longer
, consider themselves obliged to tie to the
! Conservative party for the accomplish

| for good deal elsewhere are sufficient to

I perdence. It would be quite s.atural for

not guarantee that their party would per-

Mr.. Gladstone could guarantee that his
