Tbe Enclish Political situation,


New YORK, July 7th.-The Times Lon
don cablegram says; Much capital will be
made out of the rioting in Dublin Monday
evening, albeit it has been satisfactorily
| proved that the first offenders were men,
bers of the Conservative Workmen's Club.
As the 18th of July approaches, evidences
are curiously enough in favor of the capa-
biiity of Irishmen to maintain self-restraint
while laborilg under great excitement,
with good cause for the same. Never in
| the history of Ireland, not even during the
widest period of Daniel 0'Connell's repeal
agitation, were there greater reasons for the
expectation of disorder. One cannot point
to year since that great agitation when,
as July 18th drew near, there were fewer
squabbles resulting in bloodshed than at
present; but you will hear of more now
than ever before, for the reason that every
petty row will be reportedand magnifed.
DEFEAT OF HONE RULE
Everybody in London concludes that
! the question whether there shall be home
rule or not has been decided in the mega
| tive. There is not room to doubt about the
| indications. They are decidedly against
| Gladstone's scheme. Above the actual re-
turns changing the votes in the new House
stands the damaging fact that in almost
| every case the figures show an increase in
| the Tory and opposition vote, the results
| in Edinburgh, Newcastle and some other
exceptional places to the contrary, notwith-
standing. The leaders of the Irish party
while not altogether disheartened. are
| wholly angry because of the side issues
| which have caused or helped to cause de-
| feat, such as John Bright's deSertion and
| annoying attitude Joseph Chamberlain's
artful reticence, and the Marquis of Hart
| ington's Uncommonly active canvass, con-
| Quoted with an ulterior purpose. The list
lesSness of voters in the public of London,
| of which / have spoken in previous dis
| patches, has now disappeared. The selfish
! Conservatives of London, believing they
! see victory secure, are now proving them
| selves as capable of demonstrations leading
| to disorder and violence as the riotous ele-
ments of any Irish city.
LABoUcHERE's sPEcULATIoHs.
LONDON, July 7th.-Labouchere's opin-
ion on the result of the elections so far is
given in this mornings Truth. He says:
, The counties have yet 10 speak. VIII
they pull us through? l doubt it. The
agricultural laborer knows and cares little
about Ireland, and he is told that had it
not been for the Irish bill he by this time
would have had his COW and three acres of
land. The land bill has done us vast
amount of harm. The very possibility of
the Irish landlord benefiting at the expense
of the taxpayer has alienated him from
Gladstone. As things stand now it looks
to ME as though the new Parliament will
De much like the old. The Liberals will
not have decisive majority, nor the Con-
seryatives, even with the support Of the
Liberal and Radical Unionists. who have
made common cause with them. What,
then, will happen? suppose Lord Sails
bury will be installed in office and be sup
ported by Hartington's friends and the
members for Birmingham. And what
then Will be the duty of the Radicals? To
render it impossible for any one else than
Gladstone to carry on the Government.
This they can easily do by strict alliance
with the Irish.'
MINISTERIAL PANIC.
New York, July 7th.-The Sun's cable
special says Lord Wolverton. Postmaster
General, upon receiving the news of the
defeat of 6. w. Erskine Russell in the con-
test for Fulham, remarked that be gave up
the fight. and intimated that the main
question now was whether Lord Salisbury
would be obliged to constitute a Govern
ment. There is no attempt made to con-
ceal the fact that the Ministerialists are
nervous and rapidly losing heart. Glad
stones buoyant and stirring letters and
kilograms to various candidates alone pre-
vent a panic, which would result in dire
disaster.
LARGE GAINS FOR THE CONSERVATIVES.
LONDON, July 7th.-Returns from the
English counties show large gains for the
