Very often the prince of Wales adorns
the meeting with his royal and cheering

During the tir,t part of the evening it seems
as though a strong wind, or some other po-
tental factor, was forcing the occupants of
stalls ami bu e. to turn their heads 81 le-
ways, and most awkwardly, As if they were
intent OF cunjecturing the presumpt We
heirs most secret thoughts. \ phenomenon

stage averted faces will automatically beam
or grin As dolls responding to spring
This second miracle, however, is account
able and is worked out in this way: The

The Pail NdH Gazette says that in view
OF the action of the Conservatives in de-
Gliding to allow the first reading of the
nome rule bill so as to enable Mr.. Glad
stone to introduce his Irish land purchase
measure, and thus strengthen the Tory
campaign in the event OF a general cleo
ton, 1T would be wise for Mr.. Gladstone
to ''ride for falr' tonight. 1t advises
him to force division on HIS request tor
leave to introduce his home rule bill dur
ng to- nights debates, in order to avoid the
Introduction of the land purchase bill and
he consequent addition TO his opp Osition.
The thing had better be faced and settled
at once rather than have the land pur-
chase bill hanging about the neck of his
adherents for several weeks only to be
finally settled in perhaps a less advanta-
ge0us manner than is possible now.
Liberal associations of Newcastle, Sun
derland, TynesmOuth and Liverpool, and
many other Liberal bodies, have resolved
TO support Mr.. Gladstone
The Ddiiy NelcS says it does not know
whether Lord Randolph Churchill feared
incOnVenient disclosures from the Par
nellltes, but that in his speech last night
he certainly referred to the Irish party
with hated breath. 'The whispered
humbleness Of last nights debate" it
adds, "greatly strengthened the position
of the government"
The Daily Telegraph says that Mr.
Gladstone has substituted a scheme for
the issue of Irish cOnsOls, secured on the
land and rentals therefrOm, with a view
of securing the adherence of the Radl-
calls.
ETThe Ddiiy NelgS believes that the pro-
posed land purchase loan has been re-
duced TO 500. 600, 600 since Mr.. GiadstOne's
scheme was first drafted.

extending the power or veto of the Impe-

Lords Kenmore and Cork, SutieId, and
Viscount KllcOursie have resigned. To-
nights speeches in the House OF Com
mons caused disappointment. Lord
ChurchilPs speech lacked the wOnted
point of energy of the orator, while tEat
Of Mr.. Russell was a labored effort and
fell fiat. sir Michael Hicks-Beach will
wind up the debate tomorrow.
AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
An incident of to-night's debate created
his speech wanted to quote from article 3
of the act of union. He fumbed in his
pockets for a time, and then began an
apology TO the House, saying that he mad
forgotten to bring the act with him. Mr..
Gladstone instantly produced the act,
turned up article 8, and handed the docu-
ment to Mr.. Churchill amid general
cheers and laughter.
While Mr.. Gladstone was driving to
the House this afternoon he was
greeted with mingled cheers and grOans.
When he reached the palace yards the
groans and hisses of the crowds quite
Overtopped the cheers. MIR. Gladstone is
in high spirits. He proposes to devote
Easter recess to a campaign in Scotland.
The Conservatives of Manchester have
invited the Liberals to cooperate with
them in organizing great public meeting
to denounce MIR. Gladstone's home rule
scheme.
The home rule issue is being made the
sole ground of the contest in the election
in lpswich to I'll the vacancy caused by
the unseatiug OF Jesse Ceilings
and ii. W. West for iraudu-
lent electioneering practices. The
district is very close, neither OF the sue
cessful candidates at the last election
obtaining 100 majority. The COnserva-
tive candidates sat present are Messrs
Dalrymple and Echo, and the Tory pla-
cards contain the following appeal:
'sWill you vote for Messrs. Dalrymple
