today are full of mournful regrets
The week has been full of rumorS OF Caolne1
schemes and consequent designations. Many de-
clare the Government will collapse next week. out
this IS not the opinion of the Cabinet themselves
Mr.. Chamberlain, however. is yet to be reckoned
with. It appears that Mr. Gladstone has definitely
decided ON a sweeping measure OF Home Rule.
This fa> ors the notion that he leans to MI Morley
rather than to Mr.. Chamberlain and hence there is
prospect of difficulty; but the fact is that neither
has greatly influenced HIM. He has his own strong
view and has drafted whatever there is with the
helm Of Earl Spencer and Sir Robert Hamilton con-
seouenty the scheme is to be thorough, but I'M
mediate legislation is unlikely. The probability Is
that q declaratOry resolution in favor OF giving an
independent Parliament to Ireland Will be pro-
nosed. If the Government keeps together the
resolution will be carried and legislation postponed
until next year.
Meanwhile the land question may be tackled.

is very doubtful. This is the crux OF the irish
ouestion to the Liberals when they think of their
constituents If Mr.. Gladstone can satisfy them
here, he will get his majority in the Commons IN
spite of Mr.. Chamberlain's opposition II that
should come about. Jesse Ceilings declares that
Mr.. Chamberlain will never. never consent to an
Irish Parliament. This shows that Mr. Chamber

Councils altogether exploded
Parliamentary incidents are few, but important.

hereditary peerage rejected by thirty-sx votes
only in a house Of nearly 400 members-t this, too.
after n hostile speech from Mr.. Gladstone. The
Premier admitted that large reform of the House
of Lords was inevitable, but asserted that this
would not happen in his time and pleaded That
when it should be undertaken the hereditary prin-
cipIe should be preserved. He also suggested the
inclusion of the bishops showing his old tenderness
for the ecclesiastical profession The Radicals and
Parneltes coalesced in the division.
The Irish debate on Thursday was notable mainly
for the utter foolshness of the Tory tactics and for
Lord Randolph Churchilrs confession, which the
country now has from his own lips, that LIE had
thought it was possible for the Tories TO cooperate
with the Irish party. The confession does much
damage to his political judgment almost as much as
to his Manchester proposal for union OF English
members against Scotch Radicals and Irish
Separatists.
France ia again hostile in Egypt. Its representa-

throw England back into all the old difficulties of
two years ago.
Sir Charles Dixie has reappeared for an hour in
the Commons. The Pal NAL Gazette is indignant
at this latent arOnt to public morality and declares
now tnat he cannot be forgiven. Mr. Stead's i'm
pudent letters to Mr.. Chamberlain in regard to the

Mall Gazette may have purity of sort, but it has
no decency, nor spark of charity. Otherwise
there nothing in regard to Sir Charles Dixie
His career is apparently concluded. The Pal Mall
Gazette is being sued for libel Mrs. Broughton, at
whose house Jarrett made the arrangement which
led to the abduction of Eliza Armstrong and her
subsequent Imprisonment by Mr.. Stead and his as
sociates. His enemies assist the woman with her
suit.
The Queen has taken tine recent lecture of The
Standard to heart and is emerging from her long
seclusiOn. Being in town for a draw ing-room this
week. she drove three separate days in the park.
She has further promised to attend public functions
in the city, and if she will consent to ante date her
Jubilee that celebration may take place this sum-
mer. 1t is hoped that she will undertake Royal
progress through the great towns. At Windsor on
Monday Lady Rosebery presented Mrs. Phelps who
was received very graciously. Mr. and Mrs, Phelps
