LONDON, Jan. N.-Ths meeting between
Lord Salisbury and several deputsti0Ds
from the Irish loyal and patriotic union was
full Of disappointment to both sides There
were seven deputations in all representing
every phase Of Orangism, and it was sppar-
ent from the outset that the chairman Of
each committee vas saturated with a feel
ing Of deep responsibility and determined to
unload the wrongs Of bis particular section
on the Tory premier at rs great length a.
possible.
Lord Salisbury had intended making q
long speech defining the position Of tho gov
ernment on Irish affairs and placing clearly
before the Populations just what the Tories
would propose for Ireland and what they
would not. Ibis intention was, however,
abandoned at the last moment.
Throughout the proceedings his lordsbip
exhibited an impotence Of manner which
was undoubtedly aggravated by slight in
disposition. lie looked tagged and worried,
and after listening for two hours to this
grumblings VI the excited loyalists he was
compelled 20 give them hint that he fsIt
fatiguet and would listen no more When
he did speak 1t was only for few minutes
ami his words were delivered in the spirit
less aud parfunctorY style Of a weary man.
MIR. Gladstone, It appears, was also press
ed to receive the loyaiist deputations but
he refused peremptorily. In the light OF
Lord Saiisbury's experience, and for other
reasons, Mr.. Gladstone must be adjudged
lucky, as several OF the visiting Oraugemen
told Cable News reporter That had they
had chance at the Liberal leader they
would have given him bit of their
minds
Lord Salisburys speech, although brief
seems to indicate an attempt on the part OF
the Tories to clip the wings Of the National
leaguers aud that it is not the present intan-
ton Of the government 10 greatly increass
the powers Of the Irish local bodies He
seemed to be somewhat startled as we'll as
greatly impressed when the numerous in
stances of tho influence exercised over local
boards OF guardians were graphically de-
tailed by the Loyalist speakers
London society is in full swing over the
near apprc ach of the formal opening OF
parliament by the queen in person Twenty
five thousand applications for the $50 seats
in the strangers gallery Of the house Of
lords have already been received by the Off
cials. Tho military guard inside Bucking-
ham palace are doubled and a Gordon Of po-
lice have been placed outside, on Thursday
next when her majesty will proceed in state
to Westminster, the route of the procession
will be lined by large body Of troops as
sisted by 1900 policemen. Every possible
precautlon is being taken TO protect the per
son Of the sovereign against mishap during
the ceremonies.
The acquittal of the laborer Kenny on the
charge Of libel, preferred by Mr.. George
Howell, NJ z. for the South Bethnal Green
division, will undoubtedly result in the po.
litical ruin of the latter and work serious
injury to Mr.. Fl. Broadhurst, one of the
Liberal members for Birmingham. 1t was
proved at tho trial that Mr. Howell wrong
lully drew two guineas weekly as secretary
OF the fund for ths relief Of distressed stok-
ers, and further that be donated in his own
name large portion Of the stokers' funds
TO the trade societies of which he was the
salaried secretary
These shady transactions occurred in
1875, and it was KennY'R persistent publica-
ton of them which led to the present suit
and the establishment beyond doubt of the
above facts. The suspicion that Mr.. Broad =
hurst, through his labor alliances, must have
known of these irregularities is causing a
great deal of comment among bis constitu-
