ANTI-GLADSTOyE.
| LONDON, Sept. 2l.-The recent signs OF
friction between the Tories and the
Unionists had greatly raised the hopes OF
| the Liberals that they were the precur-
sors OF complete disruption or the coal
ition in the very near future, but these
hopes were dispeled by the Unionist coa-
ference held at Bradford Yesterday. The
fact chat Mr. Chamberlain dominated the
conference adds greatly to the impor-
lance of the resolutions adopted pledg-
ing the party TO sink all minor disputes.
defer indefinitely the consideration OF
questions not immediately urgent, and
support the government until home rule
had collapsed; in other words, until Mr..
Gladstone should die. These resolutions
show the hand of the Unionists in man
ner more open than any previous act or
declaration of the leaders of that party,
and confirm the already strong belief that
the Unionists are anti Gladstone first and
foremost and anti-home rule only be-
cause the Liberal leader Is for II
ANOTHER AMERICAN EXCHANGE SwINDLE.
Mr.. Glandville, formerly an attache Of
Gillig's American Exchange, was en-
gagged last spring by Colonel Wolsely
| Cox, a cousin of General Lord Wolsely,
and Dwight c. Colder, OF New York, to
manage an establishment called the
American & Colonial Exchange, situated
opposite the Hotel Metropole. He per-
formed his duties but was unable to COL
lect his salary, and was about to take
legal proceedings. Yesterday, however,
bailiffs took possession of the place for
| unpaid rent, and Glandville sought in
vain the advice Of Bow Street magis-
| trste. Colder is being flooded with vrits
OBJ ined by tradesmen. Cox recently
went into bankruptcy, and the prospects
! Of the creditors are bad.
THE ATTACK ON THE HOME SECRETARY.
The Daily Telegraph has resumed its
onslaught on Home Secretary Matthews,
and other papers are following its exam
| pie.
All London is roaring with laughter
| over cartoon in the last number of
Punch, representing blindfolded po-
| liceman seeking criminals while uncon-
sciously lodging between their legs. The
cartoon is said to have aroused feelings
I
of the Home Secretary, but the opinion is
now general that the present Scotland
Yards system, which he inaugurated
with flourish of trumpets upon taking
| Office, will not survive the autumn ses-
sion Of parliament
THE wHITEcHAPEL HORROR
| The inquest on the body of the woman
found murdered in Whiteohapel was re-
sumed yesterday. The evidence given by
the witnesses testifying confirmed the
theory that the murderer is a skilled
anatomist. 1t was shown that certain or
gans Of the murdered woman were re-
moved in a way that no one but an expert
could have done it, and the theory that
the murder was committed by an insane
surgeon is revived and finding many new
believers.
CHAMBERLAIN's SPEECH.
LONDON, Sept. 2O.-Mr. Joseph Cham.
| berlain, speaking at a conference of Rad
ical- Unionists at Bradford yesterday,
said that the healing of the rupture be-
tween the Unionists and the Liberals was
almost impossible. The Gladstonians had
not announced their programme because
| they did not know what their unstable
leader might next propose. The action OF
strictly in accordance with legislation.
Mr.. Chamberlain denied that the evic-
tons had been unfair. 1t would be a
gross injustice to social order If the law
were permitted to be defed under the
mensces of the leaguers. The U nionists
would protect the minority in Irelan
and preserve the honor and integrity Of
the country.
