I EyGLAND.-Senator Sherman's re- marks of the Canadian question have excited some uneasinesS here. The con seryative journals especially discuss the question in the light of Mofeton Frewen's critique in the Times, declar- | ing thai unless Canada is more closely tied to England she will naturally find herself interested in coalescing with the United States, The Radical Union issues a pamphlet consisting of articles recently published by the Birmingham Post, under a title of A Sketch of the Uniouist Policy" MT. Chamberlain contributes long preface, in which he says in effect that the UniOnist policy must be something more than a nega- tive policy or the coerciye policy now pursued. He highly approves the Post article as the bass of discussion with the view of attaining the object that MT. Gladstone's bill attempted but failed to attain. The Daily News calls the pamphlet issued by the Radical Union a tedious and confused state ment, but thinks 1t is instructive to ob- serve that MT. Chamberlain considers cprcion failure. The Chronicle thinks that Mir. Chamberlain argu- ment that the duty of a democratic government is to bring the law into harmony with the peoples sentiments, if applied to Ireland now, would carry Chamberlain even further than Glad stone dared to venture.
 SPAIN.-The people of Madrid are just recovering from bad scare three n ghts ago. The Governor, expecting military revolt in favor of a republic, kept the imperial troops under arms all night. and extreme vigilance was exerc sed at the barracks.

There has been more or less uneasi- ness in military circles, however, for some time past, and it is undeniable that disaffection prevails among the soldiers. To what extent the revolu- tionary spirit prevails cannot be de- termined, at least by the outside public, and it is only from the anxiousness of the government that it is inferred that the army is seriously honeycombed with disloyalty to the present form Of administration. DsbelieveTs in the stability of any kind of government in Spain are pointing out that revolu- tion is about due, if the country IS to keep up it's record in throne changing.
