exceedingly ANXIOUS that the country should
know more Of bis Irish plans ana when the
house OF peers meets he Is likely TO make n,
much political capital as he can out Of a
iull exposition Of what be would have done

general impression Is that he Tory leader's
grand measures Of reform are all IN EN-.

have been promised by the government have
yet been drafted
In Tory circ es 1t Is confidently predicted
that Mr.. Ola stone will fHil in his attempt,
