LONDON, Nov. l3.-GIeat interest is iet IN
oohtcal circles in Count Kanolys speech to-uaS a'
ptsth. though there is no apfrehepsion OF "aT
lord Salisbury has however. placed TINS country
in tho hands of Austria. ami particularly OF the
,Iungarians, who can if they so please, bring Eng
land into collision with Russia whenever IL sui'S
Them The various DEPARTMENTS are making ar
rangements for p ssibe contingencies especlaiN
the Admiralty for if England coopciates at all is
doincs will be limited to the fleet Talk IN naval
circles indicates pretty clearly what would be inc
line of action. There would be no difficulty III
cutting off any Russian troors which ventufed ii'o
Bulgarian territory, since the Danube hiaiN'S
the Black Sea accessible to British shils. The
story going the rounds last night respecting
Quarrel between Lord Iddesleigh and Baron de
Staal was probably denied authority. NO DOUBT
lord Salisburys suggestion as to the debauchmen'
of Bulcarian officers by forei,n gold has ciea'ci
much irritation at ST. Petersburg. IL Is 10 oe
noted that since the Anglo-Austrlan UNDERSTANDING
became known General KaubaIs and his agents
have been much less active. The action OF the
Great Sobianje in electing Pnn'e Nalueihar ID
fully approved by the British Cabinet ana ueie
is reason 10 believe that Lascelles had hand III
lis suggestion This election regulmizcs the sit
scene since they have to confirm the nomination
with Turkey. AMI consequently a Benevolent state
like En.hnd which desires 10 help the Bulal1aiS
vnile kenpinc TO the strict line of hcf duty las
now an opportunity for proposing conference OF
ambassadors which viii lift the dispute TO ah0thcr
elevation. This aspect may be disturbed py irhoo
~ aldcmer's refusal to accept the uhone puu l. 10
quite ON the carts that another election would loi

indepen lence. The Prince of Mlngreha seems
simply to be a Russian provincial go'c nor dllect
inc his emisslrcs in the Cars interest.
Lord Salisbury's Guildha1 remarks have par
alyzed French agitation TO Egypt IL is under
stood that the British Government is seeking TO
arrange o settlement with Turkey, ana Slr liehrS
Drimmond- " olf is now engaged on an elaooia'c
scheme which is to supplant the famous consutu-
ton of the Earl of Duilerin. When all the details
arc settled il is generally unlcIstood that the Gov
ernment will consent to take France into It's con
tidence probably giving her slight share In the
work ing of the project Much would be saclhcci
10 meet the real friendship of France in tie Nile
Valley, snce Ensla desires to release her amy OF
occuuation and get rid of that burden on the
British eXchequer.
In r.-ard TO domestic politics the most interesting
feature of the week Lord Salisbury check
e. Lord Rando ph Churchill respecting Irish aiias
lie absolutely put aside all questions of local gov
eminent reform, and the gene al conclusion is tlat
no Irish bill of importance will be brought 1or-
ward for twelve months. 1t is evident that LORD
Randolph is driving the coach too fast and we now
see how little value there is in the statement That
the Dartfori sleech was made with the fun con
Of 4 lao "a Randolph

ton Of tie sinews of war at eecuon umes' III
this same hartford spec he spoke of reforming
the method of ncensing i'll connection with local
government bill for tngand. and there is sus-
picon that this iniCates that Lord Randolph Is
not unfavoIable TO the principle of popular control
This say the critics, is too serious a departure
from Conser, ativc lines TO be tolerated
The prospects of the Queens jubilee celeb alton
arc developing and already promise an eXtIaor'il-
nary series Of dem nsti alions. All the Mayors
who will be in office are elected, ami i'll
lal1e majority of cases most elaborate celebrations
are expected. Many Of the candidate, elected on
tuesday have intimated their intention OF confer
rng large gifts. In one place the little town of
GLOSS 10 in Derby yshiIe. there is TO be provided
public library and reading room, baths, public
mark and new town hall-a large order for a
Ylace of 20 600 inhabitants Even the project OF
tie I'm; clial Institute improves About half of
the present Colonial Exhibition will be leta ned as
q nuclcus of the institute. These objects will be
arranged in part of thc present exhibition build
in-s by June. where they will be open to the public
during tie WogrcsS of the permanent structure.
Much INDIGNATION is felt over the extravaganza in
thc MANAGEMENT of the Health, Fisheries ami In
Mentions exhibitions, the accounts of which are
only just published. All this goes badly for the
South kenslngtOn set
The Cove nmcnt is much criticised for giving the
Bombay command to the Duke of Connaught.
The Duke of Edinburgh holds the best command
in the navy, and the Duke of Cambridge, who
draws fl z, 900 pension from Parliament, is still
receiving IS, 600 as Commandea-in in-chief OF the
Army. 1t is conten led that they should let their
pay be mc.red in their pensions us they are mem
bes of the royal family. The object of the Duke
of Connaught's rapid promotion is TO enable him to
succeed tie Duke of Cambridge at the War Office.
II is on all hands admitted that he is thoroughly
eomnctent and is even smarter and more assdu-
Gus than tie Duke OF Edinburgh, which is sayne
much.
The question of withdrawing from Port Hamil-
ton is still under consideration. Naval and mill
taly authorities agreed that it is hardly worth
keeping because of lis remotcncSs and cost of de
fence English merchants having interests in
China are strong in the other direction. The Cab
met has asked China if it will guarantee that the
port shall not pass into Russias hands, but tie
lel<in Government cannot undertake this. With
In the last day or two ii is learned that the Rus
sian Cove nment has renewed its oVertures to Japan
10 lease part of 1sushima Island coalins
station. 1hs ought To cinch the matter in favor
OF England retaining Port Hamilton.
Considerable irritation is caused by the fact that
ihc Socialists permitted, in defiance of all
police Instructions TO hold their twenty minute
meeting Lord Mayors Day. The Socialists now
insist Oh holding a meeting in trafalgar Square on
Sunday next and sending thence a deputation
