He Unexpectedly Turns Up I'm London
and Attacks the Tories Vigorously.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING sraR.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-Gladstone Unexpectedly
returned to town yesterday to take part in the
discussion of the Irish estimates He was in
high spirits and adopted far more energetic
and combative style than customary with him
of late years. The opposition cheered tre-
mendously throughout. Balfour was evidently
angry and spoke with much passion. He bore
no traces of his recent illness. Gladstone's
visit to London will be brief. He returns to-
morrow to Hawarden. On the 1kh he will
come to London again to prepare for his Jour-
ney to Italy. On the question of suspending
the new rule by which the house rises at mid
night Gladstone voted with the government
because of the backward state of public busi-
ness, and also because he considered Smith 8
concession excepting two days weekly as rea-
sonable.

ENGLISH OPINION.
The t'Standard'' Severe on the Presi-
dents Reference to Sackville.

The 'tStandard'' Severe on the Presi-
dents Reference to Sackville.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-The Standard says of Presi-
dent Cleveland's message: "Mr. Cleveland's s
message might have been more gracious and
dignified could he have effaced from his recol-
lection the unsuccessful election coup which
sullied an otherwise honorable record. We
did not expect to find him repeating his origi-
nal error to show that he was not ashamed of
himself"
After quoting the references to the Sackville
matter in the message the Standard proceeds in
q similar strain and runs through sentence after
sentence Of solemn froth. "Englishmen," it
says, ''can afford to smile at such puerile nom
sense, and even Americans will not pretend to
take it in good earnest Doubtless Lord Sack
vile was technically wrong, but Ministers Low
ell and Phelps committed themselves in the
same way, though not in the same degree,
scores of times in their addresses to English
men, which we treated with much edification
and not the smallest trace of resentment" The
Standard thinks the fisheries question now has
a chance of being settled.

LIBERAL HOPES.
They Think They See Chance to Break
the Tory Phalanx In Kent,

Special Cable Dispatch to TIRE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. 4.-While the tories are doing
their utmost to prevent an election contest at
Huntington there is more ominous vacancy
now at Maidstone, owing to the painful death
of Major Ross. The liberals feel almost GER
tain of breaking the hitherto solid phalanx of
tory members for Kent. The voting at the last
election was very close. Yesterday the judges
supported the decision of the revising barrister
at Clapham striking 261 tory voters off the
register because the claims were not dated. 1t
is not denied that the persons concerned had
perfect right to vote.

Pacific officials Friday afternoon to
send an engine over to the Santa Fe
Company and get the car, and
secured permission from the Santa
Fe officials to do 30. The Southern
Pacific, however, refused to do it,
stating that they could not afford to
take the risk of precipitating any
trouble, if trouble there was to be.
Everything at the Southern
Pacific depot was perfectly
quiet, with the exception
Of the noise Incidental to big
business. There was not the slight
est indication of strike, and the
officials state positively that they do
not anticipate any. 10 prove THEN
confidence they are receiving all the
freight offered, and sent out a big
special orange train last night, and
will send out another to night. They
state that they 20 not think their
engineers would quit without giving
them some uotice. All their trains
are running as usual. The officials oi
this company express their sincerest
regrets that the Santa Fe Compa-
ny should be in so much trouble.
The overland train, consisting of a
mail, and baggage car and three
empty coaches left last night to
meet the incoming overland train al
Barstow, and bring it in this morning.
This train lett Friday night, and car
ried three or four passengers to San
Bernardino. 1t was stated yesterday
afternoon that the engineer would moi
take it out if any passengers were al
lowed to go in it. A fireman came tc
the HERALD's representative and ask
ed him about some slight thing. In
course of the conversation which fol-
lowed, the fireman said: "We have
received no orders to strike, and in.
deed 1 could not give you any reason
for our getting sick. 1 do not know
whether or not my engineer Seceived
an order to quit. / did not. Il think
the reason the men on the Southern
Pacific Co. have not already struck is
because the Chief is waiting to see il
the O. road cannot be brought to
terms without ordering them out. In
three days time, if the matter is not
settled, the Southern Pacific men will
all get very sick and quit, and l
don't think that is all. think every
road in the country will be tied-up."
do you think you will win ?"
Certainly we will win, We have
plenty of funds and we can hold out
to the crack of DOOM"
