LONDON, March 2S.-The Daily Ntws, re-
iering to the political situation, says:
"All efforts to effect a compromise have
failed. The crisis is on the land question,
because that was the frat question to be
presented to the Cabinet. Mr.. Chamber
lain and Mr.. Trevylan are just as implaca-

Mr. Gladstone Is much annoyed BY the
erroneous reports Of his scheme which
have been given TO the public. The
authentic statement will show that his
projsct differs widely from the published
accounts OF It."
