The Marquis of SaIisbury's Health
Shattered.
LONDON, March 13.-Painful news comes
tonight from Cannes where ret ne MARQUIS Sis q sals
tered health. Private dispatches from his
friends at Cannes to their friends at the Carlton
Club say that the great Tory leader Is getting
worse. Lady Salisbury has telegraphed to Sir
William Jenner, her husbands principal physi-
clan, asking him if he could come to Cannes IN
case of urgent necessity, and Sir William has re-
piled by telegraph that he will be ready to do so
on receipt of despatch from her ladyship. 1t Is
known that Lord Salisbury left London III a most
deSOondent mood Almost his last words here
were that he would never live to see another Tory
premier Of Great Britain. This dependency has
increased almost to melancholy since his arrival
in France and is the principal thing that battles
the physicians.
If Lord Salisbury breaks down now the Tory
party will go pieces for time, and at least Mr.
Gladstone wifi be able to push his home rule pro
posals through the Commons without any opposi-
lion which he will consider serious. and may even
he able to manRuYre 1t through the Lords. Ihe
ex-premier proposed to return in time for the
Irish debates. which he expected TO come up tne
last week of this month. In face OF tonights news
from Cannes this is now hardly possible II DIS
absence the Tory party in the debate will be
without guidance, and working cross purposes
which will be fatal to its only hope-that Of, Of OBJ
Mr. Gladstone is the equal as an orator OF any
three men they can produce, and they have no
speaker who can compare with any one OF a
dozen men who could be named in the Irish
Uneasy France.
PARIS, March 13.-The situation in France is
exciting high degree of uneasiness. The uneven
support which the municipality of Paris is offer
ing to the De Cazeville strikers and the defiant
attitude Of Deputies Asley and Cameinat mas
created feeling of alarm among theCOnServatlVe
Republicans, without whom, In the words OF

The lions den'
The general financial and commercial uneasi-
ness In France is partly due to the uncertain pc
itical situation and partly to the increasing de-
felt in the revenue, and is aggravated IN the
minds of thoughtful men by the shadow oyerhang-
seps. The proposed banquet to De Lesseps OF
course awaits his return. The unfavorable report
of NJ. WaldecK Rousseau Is loudly denied by the
best authorities. The President of the Tribunal
to the Panama Canal Company, and the govern
ment hesitates to authorize it. Were Panama
shares at par, the government might yield to the
prestige of NJ De Lesseps, and the
clamor of interested spectators: On
rumol that the lottery loan had been
conceded. Panama shares rose from AGO to 4S5,
but they have since fallen The whele matter IS
very shaky and uncomfortable, although the faith
of the small investor in NJ de LessepS equals the
faith of the English voter in Mr. Gladstone. The
ment of Irish independence, appears TO be con-
tingent upon the uI ISetting of the PSalm1Sts
doctrines respecting human life and strength.
