IsypoN May l.-Tory wrath over Lord Ran
,olnb ChurchilIs attack on the Government has
not vet died away Much more would have been
hoard Of il had not the Popes manifesto against
Tho National League put Lord Randolph for
,,o out of court. No authoritative answer to
,bc Pope has yet been made, nor is it clear what
linz the hrnellites mean to take. To say that
tho Pope is interfering in politics and must be
kept within his proper domain, which is faith and
morals, is but an academic answer. The Popes
sirouar is addressed to the Roman Catholic Bishops
of Ireland and copy Of it is sent officially to
each. 1t is declaration by the Supreme Congre-
ration of the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisi-
ton. confirmed and approved by the Holy Father,
and therefore Of final authority upon the con-
sciences Of good Catholics.
The question Of first interest is, what will the
Bishops do? They ordered to admonish
prudentIy but effectively, the clergy and people
they are expected TO that the clergy obey and
nforce obedience upon the people Many of the
.lergy are leaders in the campaign which the
League wages against. the law. What Monsignor
Pers:co saw and what led him to urge this course
apon the Pope was that if the priests could be
taken out of this combination its power would
be much reduced.
The circular is directed expressly against the
Plan of Campaign and Boycotting, not against
the League urge the Irish organs. True, answer
the English; but suppress the Plan of Campaign
and Boycotting and what becomes of the authority
If the League? The managers OF the League have.
Of course, no idea Of letting that powerful organ
ization go to pieces because the Pope as they say
has gone over to the landlords. But they well
know that they now confronted with oppo-
sition of very formidable kind, and some dec1-
sion must speedily be taken.
The story of an impending change in the rela-
tions between the Parnellites and Liberals, which
has been denied by one of the former, is repeated
Lord Randolph Churchills speech last Wednes-
day is supposed to supply some proof OF coming
breakup. "If," said Lord Randolph, you will
give Ireland the same privileges as England, you
will do much to vile away from Mr. Gladstone
many who now follow him in despair of getting
what they want from this side OF the House.
That is not much evidence. Better may be found
in the energy with which the Parnellites deny the
story. 1t remains, however for the present in the
form Of sheer rumor.

night for the first time in their lives at dinner
The gver Of the dinner was Mr.. Arntstead,
formerly member for Dundee, and the scene Mr..
Armitstead's house in Cleveland Square, under
the shadow of St. James's Palace, Stafford House
and Bridgewater House. There is no more aris
tocratic neghborhood. There company of
six altogether the other three being Mr.. John
Morley, Mr.. T. L. Ellis and Mr. Herbert Gladstone.
Mr. Ellis is Nottinghamshire colliery owner
and Member for the Rushchffe division Of that
county. This meeting, Judge, is the fruit of Mr..
Herbert Gladstones diplomacy, as he is more or
less a permanent guest Of Mr.. ArmitStcad, who is
q strong Home Ruler and a prosperous Russian
merchant So, perhaps, that terrible impending
split between Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Parnell may
be averted.
The bitterness of current politics again showed
itself yesterday in the House. the bill for giving
a salary to the Irish Under-Secretary. There
not two better-tempered men in England than Mr..
John Morley and Mr.. Bafour. But on this burn
ing question they have contrived to fall out Mr..
Morley accused Mr.. Balfour of bad faith There
is evidence of bad faith, and Mr.. Balfour
resented the charge In terms which implied a
breach Of all personal relations between himself
and Mr. Morley.
The fashion Of turning social into political
gatherings was AGAIN IOuOWcu SATURDAY eNe0-
Ing though at house Of no Importance What
Importance the matter had was lent by Mrs.
Gladstone, who arrived on the scene to excuse
her husbands absence The host to her surprise,
called on her for a speech. This speech, kindly
and genial and altogether informal to her fur
ther surprise, was reported in Sunday papers.
Exercises Of this Sort with the publicity which
attends them, supposed TO counteract in some
mysterious way the activity of the Primrose
League. Lady Sandhurst's name figures in the
report, but this is the Dowager Lady Sandhurst
not Lord Spencer's sister.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has returned from Paris and is
now in occupation of Herbert House, Belgravc
Square. which he has taken for the season from
Lady Herbert of Lea. He was one of the guests
at the dinner given on Saturday by Mr. Chamber
lain. Others were Lord Harrington, Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, MIR. Balfour Lord Charles Beres
ford Lord George Hamilton and Mr. Howard
Potter.
Mr. Donnellys Great Cryptogram,' published
In London to-day, receives the honor of a long
obituary notice in " The Standard" Mr.. Don
nelly had indeed prepared for his own funeral by
more refusing to disclose the KEY of the
"Oryptogram." He had previously DELAYED Oh
the plea that he should lose his copyright, and
again postpones it on the pretext that he
wishes TO work it out in more plays But il
aoes not matter. His present reviewer, who
writes with signal fairness, admits that Mr.. Don
nelly's literary argument, though not original is
\ solid and conscientious piece of literary crti-
,ism But to the "Cryptogram" he is merciless.
One of Mr.. Donnellys most important root num-
bers, 523, which he processes to have obtained by
multiplying certain unnamed numbers, can
not have been obtained by multiplying

tion proves TO be nothing more than O system so
flexible and so arbitrarily used that anybody can
make any story with it that the words in Shake
speare supply There is just show enough of method
TO deceive those who do not examine details But
Mr Donnellr is the author of his nwn story 90.
