LONDON, April 2d-The news OF the queens
journey TO Berlin and her cordial reception there
Is suddenly cast entirely In the shade by new de-
velopments of English party poktics. once more
the Irish question absorbs attention owing to the
action OF Lord Randolph Churchill In breaking
dennitely with the government The secret has
been well kept. Probably not a single member in
the house knew It with the exception OF Chamber
lain, whose relations with Churchill are very in
Innate. In the early part OF the evening he had a
long and earnest conversation with him, as n he
expected the quarter whence would come the
most effective attack on the government Just
before Churchill rose the debate appeared to have
entirely collapsed. Half an hour later, just as
the house was crowded In expectation OF a divi-
sion, Churchill rose from a corner of his seat be-
nlnd his late colleagues. HIS purpose was soon ap
parent, and as he referred 10 the broken pledges
OF the government wild bursts OF cheering arose
from the opposition side, the ministerialists look
ing on In mute dismay. since he retired from
ON m~e on the ostensible ground OF economy In the
army estimates, but really because he aimed at
controlling the cabinet Instead or having Salts
bury do IL, Churchill IL has been well Understood
mas only been blding his time. Salisbury, d. uot-
iul now long Churchiils support would last, did
MS Dest 10 conclllaie him Only lately he referred
In humble terms TO that support, which he char
acterlzed as very kind. In private IL Is under
stood that Salisbury has a bad opinion OF Church
nill as colleague. Being aIfroaca aed recently by
some members OF the tory party o d the subject OF
readmltting Churchill TO the Cabinet, he Is said,
on good authority. 10 have marked, DO you
think after a man has got rid OF a troublesome
carounce on his neck he Is anxious TO get IL back
again?" So Tar Churchill has not succeeded In
drawing away much support from the govern
Ment. Only two liberal unionisis, Barclay and
Watkins, voted for Carews blll, While three iini-
tated Churchill's example and walked out with
out voting. Churchill, however. has larger Io-
lowing outdoors than In the house. There are
persistent rumors that the tories intend TO pro-
duce q home-rule Oil, and they are more tnan
ever uAeiy to be verified.
