LONDON, Jan. 16.-The Dublin Freemdn's
Journal to-day says: The Cabinet at its meeting

The Dublin Irish Times. Loyalist organ, offers
solution to the Irish question to-day 1t says that the
outcome OF the present situation will be that the
present LordIieutenancy will be entirely done away
with and the functions OF that Office will become part OF
the duties Of the president of the Local Government
Board. This latter oceri will be assisted by Chief
Secretary for Ireland who will reside at Whitehall and
have general charge OF the administration Of Irish affairs
The immediate executive duties will be performed by
officer stationed AT Dublin. The advocates OF this
scheme find for believing it possible In the fact
that the leaders Of both parties have already abandoned
the idea Of creating Irish Parliament while it Is I'D
mtted all hands that the mode OF governing
Ireland cannot continue unmodihed.
Nothing will be settled regarding tho government OF
Ireland until after Parliament formally opened by the
Queen next week. The Earl Of CarnarvOn will return 10
Ireland and resume the duties of the vceroyaty tenn

Philadelphia Trade Summary.

General trade has suffered n tenn
porary drawback during the past week
This has been partly owing to the re-
cent spell of Over-mild and unseasOn-
able weather which has prevailed gen
orally over the entire country. In
some instances, reports show that the
crisper weather of this week has re-
newed tbs trade relations of week or
so ago, while from other points there is
as yet no account of seasonable reCov-
cry from the temporary falling off.
Raw materials have generally held
their own, or advanced.
The most serious falling off has been
in the wool trade. Here the sales of
the week are scarcely two-thirds of
the totals of the corresponding week of
last year, but this occasions no degree
of alarm among the dealers, as they all
recognize the very apparent cause in
the stifiening of prices in the face of a
quiet market. This has caused a fall
ing back upon the requirements only
and the slackening of sales. Prices,
however, are keeping right up to the
top notch and holders are forcing them
still upward.
There has been little done in grain
speculation save on the smallest scale
The coal trade remains without
change. Lumber is selling well. Dis.
counts are had with little trouble, and
rates on the street are easy. COllec.
tiOns are good.

A Woman Wins.

Women are getting into politics prac-
tically and effectively on both sides of
the Atlantic sooner than many woman
sufragists ever thought possible. Glad
stone was beaten by the Ladies' Prim-
rose League. and has now 100000 Irish
women enrolled in his support In
this country the temperance movement
enrOlls women workers.
But in the Michigan Fusion Conven-
tiOn, the other day, there was woman
delegate, Miss Matte Strickland. There
was a tie for the nomination between
her favOrite, J. H. Fedewa, and Rev.
G. I. DeyO. Near midnight Miss
Strickland took the floor and made a
stirring speech of forty minutes for
Fedewa. The latter Immediately gain
ed upon his vote, and was nominated
on the forty-fourth ballot. A Detroit
correspondent says:
Miss Strickland is now Assistant Pro-
scouting Attorney of Clinton County,
and Fedewa is her superior in office.
His nomination to Congress leaves Miss
Strickland clear field for the office of
Prosecuting Attorney, and tits believed
she will be elected by handsome ma
jority. Nothing can keep the nomina-
ton from her since her clever triumph
at the convention.
