The Two Wings of the Liberal Party Cannot
Agree ON Programme.
LONDON, Aug. s.-Negotiations between the
Liberal leaders, in relation to the formation of
an electoral programme for uniting all sections
of the party, have been decisively ruptured. The
meetings which have taken place between Mr..
Gladstone, the Marquis Of Harrington and Mr..
Chamberlain have shown no common platform
possible. Mr.. Chamberlain declined to abandon
the Radical propaganda of graduated taxation of
property, free education, laborers allotments at
low rents, or the scheme of home rule The
declarations made by him in his speech at Hull,
followed by the rupture with the other Liberal
leaders, were taken as an open man
ifesto that he had unfurled the flag Of
he would be free from the control OF Gladstone
or the Wing party. The anxiety of the mode
rate Liberals for the return of Gladstone to the
active political leadership becomes more intense.
There will be confusion worse confounded with
out him. Herbert Gladstone informs inquirers
after his fathers health that he has recovered
the full use of his voice Mr. Gladstone tells his
friends he has undertaken yachting cruise for
the purpose of establishing his vocal strength, so
that he may be fitted to perform prolonged plat
form work. In the meantime he says any strain
affects his voice, and he declines to even hold
converse, except of short duration. The unbiased
opinion prevails that the ex-Premier, nOtwith-
standing the efforts he is making to add to his
strength, will be unable to take prominent part
in the campaign.

MINOR MENTION.

Good Deal of Sham in the Reforms Of the
Administration.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-There are many Pc
culiarities about this administration. While the
heads OF departments are cudgeling their brains
for excuses for cutting and scrmping the annual
sick-leaves of the clerks and other ordinary en-
ployes of the departments, the President and
his Cabinet have been preparing to 60 off on
vacation of four or six weeks, during which sur
cease from their labors the government is to run
itself or 60 unrun. And thus soon the prom
Use that there was to be mo more junketings,"

all the year round, is smashed. Thus perishes
another reform. 1t has gone giimeripg, just
like the reform of last March, that routed the
executive clerks out of their beds at o'clock in
the morning.
That reform lasted for two weeks, and then
the executive clerks relapsed once more into
their old time habits; and now the executive
snores away the morning hours like other men.

is said that the President has determined in
consequence, that he will allow the Austrian mis-
sion to remain in charge of the Secretary of the
legation for some time. This is done to 'teach
the Austrians lesson" President Cleveland
is a mere tyro in diplomacy, which, perhaps
accounts for the fact that he will, by this petty
means, show his dsapproval of the act of Aus
tria in declining 10 receive his secondhand dip
lomatic agents. The President considers that
the Emperor of Austria has fallen behind
in the courtesies of life in not informing him of
the reason of his refusal to accept the United
States diplomatic, and in order to have him
understand the exact feeling upon this subject
in the United States he will take the unwise
course of allowing the mission to be vacant
This is another evidence that the President
allows small things to trouble him very much
more than he should do, and it is only on par
with the letter which he wrote to Democrat
who deceived him the other day. Mr. Cleveland

THE LAS VEGAS HOTEL FIRE.
All the Guests Escape and Save Their Effects
Loss, 100000; Insurance, $25O,O0O.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 9.-The Tribune Repub-
hcan's Las Vegas special says The fire at the
Montezuma Hotel at Hot Springs. last night,
originated about 1l30, in the lobby of the fourth
floor, near the stairway leading to the top of the
grand tower. The general alarm was sounded
in the Office, and the guests were imme-
diately warned of their danger by sound
ing of electric gongs in all apartments
of the house There were about seventy-hve
rooms occupied. Everybody escaped, and nearly
all the personal effects of the guests were saved
Immediately after the general alarm had been
sounded, the chief clerk and three other en-
9loyes Of the house rushed to the fourth floor,
and unreeled a fire hose attached to various
hydrants. Some delay was occasioned by mex
perienced hands laying lines, and in most
instances the hose was too short to reach the
flames. In a very few minutes the flames had
burnt through the roof in several places, and all
hopes of saving the building were abandoned.

distant, was called by telephone. special

DIPLOMACY.
No Foundation for the Rumor Of the Anglo
Chinese Alliance.

CMneSe Alliance.
LONDON, Aug. 8-The reported alliance bs-
tween England and China proves to be rehash
of the story of similar agreement which was
current during the late war crisis, that Lord
Granville, through Marquis Tseng sounded the
Pekin government as to the attitude of China in
the event Of war between England and Russia
the interchange Of views ending with an intima-
ton from Pekin that China would maintain a
friendly neutrslity. Since the appointment of
Sir Robert Hart as British minister at Pekin
the Marquis of Salisbury has made no overtures
for an alliance. The statement made by the
Republque Franchise, that an alliance between
England and China had been formed was
merely sensational, and arose from desire to
justify Ferrys colonial expansion policy, which
included an increase of the French force in
Indo China.
The Chinese minister at Paris says he has
heard nothing from Pekin of the reported
offensive and defensive alliance between England
and China and discredits the report.
France Anxious About the Egyptian Policy
LONDON, Aug. s-Sir Henry Drummond
Wolff, British envoy to Egypt has arrived in
Paris 1t is reported he has been asked by De
Freycnet, French Minister of Foreign Affairs,
to explain Lord Salisburys statement that the
British troops would remain in Egypt until
order had been secured There are indications
that Lord Salisbury is preparing for permanent
occupation of Egypt The War Office has been
ordered to strengthen the Egyptian army
Officers in Egypt from the Indian service are re-
ceiving permanent assignments in place of the
temporary appointments they hitherto held.
Glasses have been formed for non commissioned
officers and pr1vates for the study of the Arabic
language. Arrangements have been made to
send out families of privates when desired. All
furloughs of officers will cease on Oct. l. General
Stephenson, commander of the troops in Egypt,
has been instructed to prepare plan for the re-
lief of Kassala.
