The English Political Situation.

AhC ohtiNNi
LONDON, June 6th.-Politicians have
been active throughout the day The re-
suit of to-day's meetings at all the political
rendezvous shows that there is little hope
that the home rule bill will pass, although
many MinlsterialiSts claim that Gladstone's
reply TO Commoner Moulton's letter has
secured more waverers On the other
hand, Labouchere, who has been conduct
ing negotiations with malcontents, has
thrown up the sponge. He says he could
bring over sufficient waverers TO carry the
bill if Gladstone would give way only
very little; but the Premier refuses to
yield an inch. Eight Liberals still hest
tate. If they vote with the opposition, the
bill will be lost. 1t is regarded as possible
that the division may result in tie, in
which event Speaker Peel will give the
deciding vote All attempts to elicit the
Speakers opinion have failed.
