is concealed as much possible 1t Is an open secret

SREAT MEN ovERRULED BY MRS. GLADSTONE
Mr. Gladstone was not in the least anxious TO
come to London for the autumn session lie was
more inclined 10 remain at Hawarden and finish the
arrangement Of his papers. Mrs Gladstone, however
took quite a different view. Having suspicion that
the discipline Of the party was getting reIsAcd inc
more ardent spirits among them incning 10 be
nutjnous she deemed It most advisable that Mr..
Gladstone should to London forthwith and lead
hts party and despite the anxious and repeated assur-
ances Of Sir William Harcourt that the health OF MI
Gladstone would suffer from fatigucs OF the autumn
he was prepared TO undertake the leading of Mr.
Clsdstone's party during his absence Mrs. Gladstone
thought II more prudent that he should not delegate
that position TO any one, however devoted; so she
brought her husband TO London
II is said that Or Haldane and Sir Edward Grey
saw Mr. Gladstone the Sunday before the debate on
the Land Purchase BILL to tell him that they ieI'
obliged TO speak and vote against him. MI Olaa
stone was greatly surprised and quite unprepare1
for the announcement. There has been great re
toicng among the Unionsts at Sir Edwards deserion
but the most important by far OF tho TWO Wa
Mr. Haldane. Sir Edward is young man, Win
a good deal Of enthusiasm. He was caught by the
Home Rule cry without quite realizing Its 1uIl
import The debates Of the last three days have
gain hrourbt into prominence the unstable foundation
OF the Gladstonan party. Mr.. Gladstone is blamed
for having made a technical blunder Mr. Morley
IS condemned by the opponents Of the Lana Purchase
bin for the outspoken repetition OF MS Vews' Inc
party seem agreed on one point oniy-that II tney
came into Office they would go TO pieces In week
som. Of the party 20 so far as 10 say that Mr.
Morley and Lord Spencer could not be members OF
the next Gladstonian Cabinet because Oh the d.
verrence Of their views the Land Purchase ques-
ton. MI Gladstone's amendment has brought about
q curious disclosure Of conflicting opinion IN The
party. - -o.noo,-
The contest in Holborn promises TO be close and
very exciting and though the Conservatives are sure
TO win IT win be by a narrowed majority. MI.
Caisford Bruce is not good candidate Tor cohsuu-
ency Ike Holborn, where birth and TITO are MoIo ap
precated than ability not accompanied by ELMER NJ
Bruce has also the misfortune OF being the de1eateu
candidate IN one or two other places, which always
nlaces a man az a disadv antage and he IS not par
ticularly good speaker. Lord Compton, on the othel
hand is an ideal Radical candidate. the eldest son OF
a MARQUIS and the owner of some OF the worst mousse
property for tho working GLASS in London lie Is
home Ruler and ardent Gladstonfan, speaks well ana
has pretty and fashionable wife He Is supported
In the canvass by large PhdaHA Va '"o 0N
women in London.

purposes 10 British representatives at foreign o4hiD-
tlons even when there was no royal commission Inc
application from late Lord Mayor on behalf OF the
British section at Paris met with courteous gra'
cousy worded reply that the store Of flags was limited
and as they could be obtained through the ordinary
trade channel their Lordshps saw reason why they
should lend them. On the other hand most OF the
