Trouble Threatened ln .ndIa.

The native malcontents in India are be-
coming expectant of breakup of British
rule. European officials, civil and military.
have sent communications home stating
that never since the great mutiny was
crushed, were the natives, and especially
the Brahmin classes, so insolent and threat
ening as now. The native press is more
than ever hostile and aggressive. The de-
mands of the educated natives include self
government through the Brahmin class, the
reduction of the English garrison and the
formation of a strong body of native artil-
lery to replace the English, the control Of
India finances, of judicial appointments and
of the native army seems to be the pro-
gramme of the civilized Hindoo. Beyond
the press agitation there is known to be a
nucleus of a conspiracy league, which, if
permitted free growth, will become formid-
able.

BRITISH POLITICS.
scotch and Irish SuppOrt of the Home
RuIe BiII.


Gladstone denies the story that he has
decided to join the Roman Catholic church,
and that he had requested the fact to be
kept secret for six months for political rea-
rons. If it is stated that John Morley,
Chief Secretary for Ireland, in a speech to
be delivered at Glasgow, will announce that
the Government has decided to abandon
that feature of the Home Rule bill which
excludes Irish representatives from West
minister.
David Davies, member of Parliament
and Liberal, will resign his seat because
he objects to Gladstone's home-rule meas
ure.
At conference between Archbishop
Croke and the priests of his parish, q me-
moral was signed expressing deep graft
tude to Gladstone for his past service 70
Ireland, and lauding him for his heroic
fortitude, utter forgetfulness of self and
fearless devotion in initiating his present
Irish measures
At Belfast two anti-home-rule meetings
were held, at one of which 6000 persons
were present. Both Liberals and Conserv-
atives attended the meetings, and resolu-
tons condemning Gladstone's scheme and
Morley's threats" were unanimously
adopted.
The National Liberal Federation of Scot
land has adopted resolutions favoring Glad
stones Home Rule bill.

THE IRISH PROBLEM.
Diverse Views Of the Outlook for Glad
stones Bills.

The strongest supporters of Gladstone are
growing uneasy under the weight of criti-
clsm brought upon the details of the Home
Rule bill. Amember of the House of Com
mons, nnquestionably loyal to the princi-
Piles of home rule, and extremely influential
among the Radicals, said 90 Discipline is
now our only hope. I feel pretty confident
that we have a majority of ten buttOned up
for second reading, but it is impossible to
defend the bills on their merits, they are SO
absurdly bad. In arguing in favor of their
adoption l confine myself to the platform,
and am therefore compelled to indulge in
the vaguest sort of claptrap.''
Mr.. Parne1 and his friends are so conf
dent of success that they have already begun
to constitute a ministry, which will be formed
on the establishment of an Irish Parliament.
The member for Cork will, of course, be
Prime Minister or, as his formal title will
probably be, President of the Irish Council,
and the distribution of the other offices will
be as follows Chancellor of Exchequer,
A. O'Connor Minister of Interior, Sexton;
Minister of Agriculture, Biggar Minister of
Education, ]. Mccarthy /; Minister of Public
Works, T. p. O'Connor Minister of Justice,
Chance ;Attorney-General,H ealy Solicitor
General, d. Sullivan Minister of Com
merce, Harrington. 1t is also intended to
appoint Minister who shall have charge
of the relations of Ireland with the Irish in
and it is probable that Patrick
Eagan Will be brought over to fill the posi-
ton.
The O'Donoghue publishes letter in
which he denOunces Mr.. Gladstone's insid-
iOus proposals, which, if adopted, will re-
suit in seriously diminishing the strength,
and glory of England, and in alb
solutely rending the Irish social system.

strikes Spreading.

twenty-five thousand is the fairest esti-
mate of the number of men who quit work
and went out of the various shops and fac
tories in Chicago because the employers
would not consent to an eight-hour working
day with ten hours pay. The trades most
affected are the furniture manufacturers and
the lumber interests.
The Allison car work at Philadelphia,
have shut down and locked out 900 en-
ployees. The men, one week ago, demand
ed an increase of to Is per cent. The
men to-day notified the company that the
increase was not satisfactory. The COM
pany Immediately shut down the works.
The 5000 employees of the large Milwau-
kee breweries decided to strike unless their
wages were raised SO per month. The
companies have already made large con-
cession in the way of fewer hours and an
increase in pay, and have said they will not
accept the terms proposed.

China.

A correspondent of the North China Daily
Neaos writes from Canton: eve have re-
ceived very bad news here from Tonquin,
and it is firmly believed that the renewal of
hostilities between France and China is u
sure thing. Some of the 'knowalls' pre-
tend that peace was never made with a
view of its lasting perpetually, but simply
to allow China to get out her iron-clads and
lots of war material, machinery, ETC., SO
as to renew the conflict on better terms. 3"
The same correspondent, in speaking of
the receipt of the news of the firing on the
mob at Seattle, remarks: "We wonder if
this news, which reflects some credit on the
Government of the United States, will be
as widely made known as has been that
concerning the previous riots. We trow
not Anything rejecting discredit on
Americans, or on those of any other nation
atty is spread far and wine, but anything
creditable is quietly hushed up"

WALK IN JOHN.
The Administration Ruling i'm Favor
of the Chinese.

Acting Secretary of the Treasury Fair
child made a ruling on the Chinese Re-
striction Act which throws open the doors
wider than any other Interpretation of the
law or previous order from the Treasury
Department. He instructed the Collector
at Norfolk to allow the landing of Chinese
seaman named All Foy, who was on the
American schooner Frank NJ Thayer, which
was wrecked in the South Atlantic some
months ago. He was sent to Norfolk by
the United States Consul at Barbadoes.
The Acting Secretary holds that there is
nothing in the Chinese Restriction Act to
prevent the temporary landing of Chinese
seamen in the ordinary pursuit of their
calling. If this ruling is to stand, the
sailors that man the Pacific Mail vessels
can land temporarily in the ordinary pur-
suit of their calling. This is the most
serious and dangerous evasion of the law
yet permitted.

people gathered to witness the laying of
the cornerstone of the Confederate mOnu-

presenting a surface of thirty-ive feet
square. Near at hand stood the corner
stone, on which, in raised letters, was the
inscription, " Corner-stone-Laid by ex-
President Jefferson Davis, April %, 1885,"
Opposite this was a large platform for the
speakers. Ex-Governor Watts, presiding
officer of the occasion, opened the exercises
with a reference to their Importance, calling
down the benediction of Heaven upon the
occasion, and requested the Rev. Mr.. An
drew, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, to pray The prayer was earnest
and simple. Ex-Governor Watts then pre-
scented Jefferson Davis. The scene, as Mr..
Davis arose and grasped the hand of his
old Attorney-General, was very affecting.

though Carter might carry the South
east solid; but when tue matter was
discussed and opinion crystalized, the
bent of the people became so apparent
that only he who wanted to could mis-
understand it. In fact there were
three changes, apparently: first, that
Cockrell wovld be the choice of this
section; then that Il vigorous effor.
might give it to Garter; and, finally,
when the matter had been fully can
vassed, that the people were satisfied,
and desired no change. During all
this time, we do not remember that
the Times exerted itself in any way to
influence opinion in favor of Carter.
Why its unwonted interest in him
now? Merely that it may set him and
Clardy by the ears, and thereby injure
the latter, whom the Times hates
without reason, and fears with good
cause.
