LONDON Sept 29-The American Legation and

ihat the pretended fishery and commercial treaty
oublished in The Herald is an entire fabrication.

The document now protesting to be a treaty is

Mr. Parnel's new appeal for American money,
whatever nav be its effect in America, has thrown
his Liberal allies iu England into some confusion
Being in doubt what to say about his manifesto,
they wisely say nothing. The Daily Ners. after
taking two days TO think it over still keeps blank
silence The Unonist and Tory papers, which
always have plenty OF strong phrases for anything
signed by Mr.. Parnell. describe his manifesto as
trayesty Of the situation so wild and so ludlcrous
In its extravaganza and mendacity that no sane
man will give it second thought. That is what
The Standard says and repeats with variations.
correspondent supplies The Times with convenient
ouotations from Patrick Ford's New-York paper
10 show how Mr. Parnells new land war will be
carried on Undoubtedly IL is a surprise to Eng
hsbmen TO be told that a crisis Is imminent seldom
equalled in the history OF Ireland They gave
litto heed TO Parnelps and Dillon's warnings IN
Parliament during the debate on the Tenants Rellef
bill and they still prefer to believe with The Daily
Ae.cs that quiet holiday has arrived; that Irish
landlords will not evct. that Irish tenants Will
possess their sous in patience and that General Sir
Redvcrs Buffers success in preventing outrages
will continue.
1t is perfectly true that far as England is con-
cerned there is little prospect of immediate agita-
tion. Nearly all the ogitators Of both parties
rushed OIL to the Continent and to Scotland soon
rs Parliament adjourned. Never was there such a
stampede from London. Members hardly waited to
hear tie Queens speech. Everybodys patience
and strength were worn out. Nor are there many
lns of the usual autumn speech-making. Mr.. Dill
10 Is however, has repeated in Dublin what he said
In the House and what Mr.. ParnelPs organ also
says-tbat war; if begun, should be begun by the
landlords not by the tenants If General Buller's
anti-moonhg ghtng tactics be initiated in other
counties this advice is likely to be pretty generally
accepted by tue tenants The Generals plar is to
stop outrages before they begin by seizing those
about TO commit them.
Next after Mr.. Paruell's manifesto Mr.. Glad
stones letter on Home Rule in Wales alarms the
timid BntOn. What one journal calls the preten-
tous levity" of the Liberal leader seems to others
a rapid ripening in his mind of the doctrine OF
nationaities as propounded la his recent pamphlet.
Wales certainly shows signs of excitement arising
out of the tirhe question which an adrot leader
might turn in the direction to which Mr. Gladstone
points. Neither in Wales Scotland does the
idea of Home Rule as here understood. gain or the
people Scotland rejects it. if the Earl of Da-
bouse, late Secretary for Scotland truly expresses
her opinion. lie is Home Ruler for Ireland. but
declared yesterday that Scotland would not accept
such a scheme for herself The Scotch want to
exercise their full share of power in the British
Empire
Tho Lord Mayor to-day handed to the American
Legation $4,000 as the first instalment of the
earthquake fund for Charleston 1t is very doubt
ful whether second 900 is forthcoming. The
Legation, which offered to accept American sub
scrlptions for the object. has received exactly
two. of them British. amounting together to
the of $40.
Ii has long been known that the Prince of Wales
meant to decline the testimonial intended to be
offered TO him as President of tine Colonial Indian
Exhibition. In his letter. now published. to My
dear Cadogan he asks the committee to allow the
funds collected for this testimonial to be applied
IN aid OF the proposed imperial institute The COM
mttee acquiesce. but whether the subscribers will
like it is doubtful. One Journal. however. whose
cxuberant loyalty is equal to every occasion. has
already discovered how to reconcile every body.
There mr 81 be Prince of Wales wing TO tho insti
tute as if il hospital. Mean while tho most
influential people of London have taken up the
Princes original jubilee proposal. The Lord Mayor
has called meeting of bankers aud merchants,
and the Bank OF England is ready to receive funds
but the public shows signs of wishing to know
more about the scheme before supplying the funds.
Some want guarantee that the. scheme shall not
fall into the hands of the managers Of the present
exhil ition. That exhibition though successful in
drawing immense crowds. is sharply criticised by
the colonists themselves and is not free from
pIoions OF jobbery.
