LONDON, Jan. 13.-lt requires but a
very hasty peruSal of Lord Salisbury'S
Liverpool speech to establish the con-
yiction that the Tories are determined
that they will not resign their control of
the government, even in the face of
vote of want of confidence. The premier
has practically declared that he and his
colleagues will remain in Office until the
legal expiration of their terms, and as
there is no question of Importance upon
which majority against the govern
ment would exceed bakers dozen, if
indeed an adverse vote is at all possible,
the outlook of the opponents of the
ministry for return TO power is very
poor at present. Mr.. Parnell has de-
cided 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 to take place in the house
ing the rules of procedure. OF course,
the rules will be amended and greatly to
the disadvantage of the Liberals and
Nationalist. but their modification will
be c0mbatted at every step and the lead
erS of the movement to
INCREASE THE SEVERITY
of the gag law put conSplcuouSly upon
record. The question of amending the
rules has lately engrOsSed the attention
of the Irish press and provoked consid
cradle SurmSe as TO the scope it is in
tended to give them. The Dublin Ex-
press predicts that the amendments
the adoption of which goes without say
ing-will prohibit any member of the
house who has been, or who may be. cOn
Yieted of any offense under the coercion
act from sitting in parliament, and de-
clareS its belief that the government
will put as many of the Irish members
in Jail as it possibly can before the in
PRODUCTION of any Irish business in the
house.
Typhoid fever is raging yirulently in
the village of Inyerie, Scotland, and
many of the inhabitants have already
died from the disease, among them two
clergymen. Upward of fifty persons
afflicted with the scOurge are being
treated in the hospital, and number of
OtEctS dIC IcCclflIiS tIcdtIlC1it 1T liiclI
own homes. The prevalence of the
fever has created intense excitement
in neighboring towns, and local quar-
antines are being established to prevent
its spread.
A great scare prevails in the poor
quarters of Birmingham over the dense
fog which has envelOped the city for the
last few days. and which has moved the
wiseacres of those localities to predict
the speedy coming of the end of the
world. Under the depressing influence
of this baleful prediction the people re-
fuse to work, and spend the most of their
time in prayer.
1t is quite evident that the powers
have no intention of taking the initia-
tive in settling the Bulgarian question,
and Russia will have either to accept
the results of their inactiOn or cut the
GOrdian knot 10y Ousting Prince Ferdi-
nand as she did Prince Alexander and
setting up provisional government in
Sofia, which she must perforce defend.
