last the remainder of the week. Ihis lelusai
ohIces Mr. Serton TO move his Belfast amendment
TO day IN q thin House and very likely Will result
IN carving over the discussion to the next week.
The tanner and manners of the House are daily
getting worse. Mr. Clark the Scotch advocate Of
the crofters, called the Duke of Argyll roDoer
and n sanctiinonious prig Mr. Baumanu retorted
that Mr. Clark's language was that OF vulgar anu
venomous scurrility Nh Illingworth told LORD
Randolph Churchill that his rebuking the other
members for wasting time was case OF satan
rebuking SIN. Mr. Cony beare assured the Con-
reryative leader that the House regarded him with
contempt. The Irish party occasionally take
hand IN this game, but most of the Irish members
are content to look on while the gsh and Scotch
members exchange compliments across the hoor
The English and Scotch Radicals, In fact, seem
dsposed to relieve their Irish allies of the duty OF
embarrassing the Government and OF prolonglng
the session. Some forty OF them held meeting
Yesterday. Mr.. Illingworth presided Those
present we're mostly Radicals of an extreme type
They declare themselves to be dissatisfied with the
nresent MANAGEMENT of the Liberal party, and
comolain of the whips as inefficient. Mr. llling-
worth said that the interests of the Radical party
were not sufficiently put before Parliament Mr
Conybeare, who has already tried the patience Oh
the House, was in favor of fighting the Govern
ment at all times. The cry Is general among these
men for what they Gail a more active policy COM
bined with action. This means that the radicals
arc ready to proceed with obstruction, whlch Mr.
Parnell thinks at present mlschievous. Inc Dd''y
Ne,cs which is fond of proposing in haste IN order
10 repent at leisure lends what sanction 1t can 10
this new Radical revolt "No opportunity snouid
be lost" exclams this organ, y OF bringing lorwalu
Liberal measures" sThe more proposals INC
Radicals make the better" is war-cry which,
unless silenced by more judcious leaders means
Organized obstruction. There can be no legislation
at TINS session. Sensible Liberals will doubtless
fnl means to suppress guerilla warfare in which
handful Of fanatics desire to engage.
Mr.. Gladstone's pamphlet has scarcely been
mentioned by the London press since SATURDAY,
but to-day appears IN The Times counterDlast
from Goldwln Smith. His letter is perhaps the
most brilliant and bitter of the many he has
written His accusations against Mr. Gladstone
are not less sweeping, though veiled IN more
decorous phrase than Lord Randolph ChurchilPs.
Among the many counts Of this indictment Is one
based Oh the supposition that Mr. GlAistone really
means 10 split up the existing Kingdom INTO
separate nationali;ies. AThe embers of hatred,
saws Godwiu Smith, which have been cold Tor
centuries, are rekndled by the religious statesman
for that holy purpose" Goldwin Smith thinks IT
necessary to add that the suggestion that England
has tyraunized over the other members OF the Union
Is simply venOmous fiction.
English interest in the fortunes of Prince
Alexander and the future of Bulgaria has scarcely
sbated. The papers continue to bestow on him
much good advice and some bad advice One
Radical sheet tells the Prince that he must pardon
the conspirators and kdnappcrs. This is only
schoing what N. de Gers is reported TO have said,
accompanied with threat that Russia will inter
vene if necessary TO protect them. The English
show no disposition to claim triumph over Rus
sia. though Prince Alexanders decision to return
was due primarily to encouragement from Lord
Salisbury.
1.-THE Socialist meeting at Trafalgar Square on
Sunday afternoon gave Sir Charles Warren an oc-
eason to eXemplIfy his ideas of handling the police
He has reversed the maxims of his predecessor
whose theory was to avoid irritating mob by the
display of force Sir Charles Warren stationed
stong bodies all about the Square in full view and
made known through the papers that still
stronger reserves were at hand. The result wa,

criminal classes protested naturally enough against
Niams's Imprisonment. Hyndman and others
including Frenchmen made violent speeches. The
multitude dispersed without single collision with
the police. The French worknen on this occasion
