LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE American minis
ter, in a speech before the members of the
Glasgow bar Thursday, said that nothing in
the administration of justice in Great Brit
ain was more excellent than the prompt and
effective manner in which the laws were
executed But legal proceedings here, he
thought, were too expensive. Doubtless the
two branches of the legal profession in Great
Britain were conspicuously successful, but
the blending OF both orders worked well in
America and Canada, and why should it not
sork equally well in Great Britainf

Gladstone Criticised.

LONDON, Nov. H. Mr.. Gladstone mas
been criticised great deal of late, and es-
pecially after the delivery of his speeches at
Birmingham recently, for not outlining an
Irish policy which he considers advisable for
the government to follow and one which he
advocates for the Liberal party. 1t was
even disappointment to his own followers
in parliament that he did not, in his Bir-
mingham addresses, offer a definite view of
the plans which it is believed he cherishes for
the remedial measures affecting Ireland
One of the Liberal leaders intimate friends
said to-day in regard to this subject: 1T is
not Mr.. Gladstone's purpose to make any
statement of his Irish policy. What he
thinks on the Irish question is too well
known for any statement of policy regard
ing it to be necessary. However, the reason
that Mr. Gladstone does not formulate his
plans in so many words. for the guidance of
his party, or for the attack of his enemies,
whichever way you choose to look at it, Is
that he does not consider it his place to do
SO. When he was prime minister, he stated
very clearly what his policy would be in
Irish matters But now that he is a member
of the house and not government minister,
he considers it the duty of the government
to outline policies and not his.
The grand old man is greatly pleased at
his reception at Birmingham and argues
that if this hotbed of Unionism was ready to
give Liberals such welcome, the country
at large is further advanced toward Liberal
opinions than is generally supposed to be the
case. Mr.. Gladstone is confident that gen
eral election would place his party in power
And from present outlooks there will be a
chance for such an election in the near
future. The contest over extending the
Ashbourne act will be hard one and the
government proposition to spend 93,OO0,0OO
on new navy vessels will cause much opposi
tion. The government is ready to go to
pieces from internal dssentions and from
whatever cause the fall comes the Liberals are
ready to make the most Of the opportunity.
Neither side expects that the bill for the
extension of the Ashburne act will be carried
through in a week, although the cloture rule
will doubtless be freely used in forcing its
passage According to opposition estimates
at least fortnight must be given to its dis

BERLIN, Nov. l7.-Both the Krenz Zeitung
and the Post consider the redistribution of
the west portion of the Russian army as i'm
plying a serious advance
They say that the Russian garrisons ON
the frontiers have been strengthened by two,
and in some cases by three divisions, which
are also available for an advance.
The Post says: "The increase Of frances
military forces brings us nearer to war This
increase is being made at rate with which
the peace powers are scarcely able to keep
pace. The same remark may be applied to
Russia, the increase of whose military
strength cannot be explained as defensive
measure"
The simultaneous preparations of both
Russia and France for a great struggle is
indicative of an entente between the two
powers of long standing. Although an Of
fensive and defensive alliance between the
two can hardly be suspected owing to the
mutability of French politics, yet she can be
relied upon by Russia to be faithful to her
ingrained determination to recover Alsace
and Lorraine
It is denied emphatically in Russian
government circles that the new changes in
the organization of the troops in western
Russia have a warlike intent The object
of the movement. it is declared, is merely
to develop the defences necessary to present
military balance as compared with the
forces maintained by neighboriug powers.
