LONDON, January l4.-It requires but =
very hssty perusal of Lord Salisburys Liv-
erpool speech to establish the conviction
that the Tories are determined that they
| will not resign their control of the Govern
ment, even IN the face Of vote Of want OF
| confidence. The Premier has practically
declared that he and his colleagues will re-
main in Office until the legal expiration Of
their terms, and as there is no question of
Importance upon which a majority against
| the Government would exceed baker >
il&en-if, indeed, an adverse vote is at all
po.si6ie-the outlook OF the opponents OF
the Ministry for return to power Is very
poor at present.
Mr.. r.. nell has decided that he will not
speak at Cork, as he had intended to do,
nor will he speak at any other place during
the remainder of the parliamentary recess.
Though the home rule leader is in much
better health than he has been for the last
three months, he is far from being well
man and realizes the Importance OF
outstanding his strength for the contest that
is certain 10 take place in the House OF
Commons over the question OF amending
the rules of procedure. Of course the rules
will be amended, and greatly to the disad.
vantage of the Liberals and Nationalist,
but their modification will be combated at
every step and the leaders Of the movement

couspicuously upon record. The question OF
amending the rules has lately engrossed
the attention Of the Irish press and pro-
voked considerable surnise a. to the scope
IL il intended to give them. The Dublin
Express predicts that the amendments
the adoption of which goes without saying
will prohibit any memSer of the House
who has been, or who may be convicted Of
any offence under the coercion act from
sitting in Parliament, and declares its be
lief that the Government will put as many
of the Irish members in Jail as it possibly
can before the introduction OF any Irish
business in the House
Typhoid fever is raging virulently in the
village of Inverie. Scotland, and many OF
the inhabitants have already died from the
dEeaSe, among them two clergymen.
Upwards of fifty persons afflicted with the
scourge are being treated in the hospital
and number Of Others are receiving treat
ment At their own homes. The prevalence
Of the fever has created intense excitement
in neighboring towns and local quarantines
are being established to prevent its spread.
A great scare prevails in the poor quar-
tsrs of Birmingham over the dense fog
which has enveloped the city for the last
few DAYS. and which has moved the wise
acres Of those localities TO predict the
speedy coming of the end Of the world
Under the depressing influence of this
bsleful prediction the people refuse 70
work and spend the most Of their time in
prayer.
Ii is quite evident that the powers have
NO intention of taking the initiative in Set
uing the Bulgarian question, and Russia
will have either to accept the results Of
their inaction or cut the gordian knot BY
ousting Prince Ferdinand as she did Prince
Alexander and setting up provisional
