LONDON. Jan. 1.-The correspondents In
the SaclEville case, published in the Blue
Book, confirms tbs impression that no minis
Ter win be appointed by the British govern
inent to iii the vacancy in Washington
during the present administration Regard
less OF appeals from members Of his own
party. Of the opinions of the Liberal leaders
and of the sentiment of the country gener-
orally, Lord Salisbury is determined to carry
out his policy Of resentment to the bitter
end
He fully sympathizss with Lord Sackville,
considers him an III used man, and brings
precedents to his support furnished by Lord
Palmerston, whose delight it was to bully all
the weak nations OF t1e world. While he had
not the courage to apply to the United
States the precedent cited in the cases Of
Spain on the occasion of Lord Bulwer's dis
inissnl. he follows in the footsteps Of his pro
tlecessor as far as he dares and it will take
d long time for the III feeling he has aroused
TO subsie. The sincere desire which exists
here, and, no doubt, in America, TO see all
questions at issue settled and harmony re-
stored, is thwarted and mutual hopes indefin-
itely deferred.
The satisfaction which was felt over the
rumor Of the appointment OF Sir Baker
Powell TO reopen negotiations on the fishery
question testihes TO the eagerness of the
country for "A settlement. People are inn
patient ut the petty personal quarrel which
stands in the way How long it will be suf-
fered TO remain as ON obstacle depends on
parliament The commons, when they reas-
semble, will have something to say. Lord
Randolph Churchill, it is understood, is pre-
pairing 10 speak on the subject. His advice
having been rejected, he is likely to make his
indignation felt. The opposition will not
allow the opportunity to pass, and very
lively debate Is expected, during which the
government viii have some uneasy moments.
Prosecutions against the Irish members OF
parliament are multiplying Mr.. Balfour
has resumed his plan of campaign with all
his malign vigor Summonses and warrants
are going about in all directions, seeking
wnom to seize. None of the leading men of
the Irish party, who have rendered them
selves constructivey liable under any clause
OF tho coercion act, are liable to escape Mr..
Balfour's attentions When parliament re-
assemblies il viii flni the Irish vote consider
ably reduced All Che gentlemen who have
received summonses refuse to take any no.
tice of them, and arrest, IL they stay in the
country, is sure to follow.
The penalties imposed under the act are
increasing in severity, and the treatment of
political prisoners is more rigorous than
ever Mr. Edward Harrington is reported
TO be suffering from the harsh treatment he
has received His brother, Timothy Har-
rington promises to make the house of COM
mons ring with denunciation of the manner
in which convict rules are enforced in the
eases of delicate and educated gentlemen, TO
whom the application of such rules is wanton
torture
With the revival of political persecution
the cruel work of eviction is carried on with
relentless determination Resistance be-
comes the more logged and threatens to
grow the more dangerous. Firearms are
displayed on both sides, although happily
they have not yet been used. Several times
have tho combatants been on the brink OF
firing, but in all cases the priests have in
terfered to prevent bloodshed Should shots
be exchanged and lives lost the consequences
would be terrible. There would be an out
burst of long pent up wrath and fury which
might precipitate the most disastrous events.
The Nationalist leaders still counsel patience,
and the moral influence of their English
friends is the great restraining power.
There was a scene of unusual violence on
the estates of Lord Lurgan, in Armagh. A
large force of bailiffs and policemen sought
to evict one John Haney from his holding.
Tho house was surrounded by ell the defenses
which ingenuity could devise and strongly
garrisoned by Harey's family and friends.
The fight was desperate one The police
advanced to the attack several times and were
as often driven back, the defenders using
pitchforks, stones and hot water. A number
al assailants, among them the land agent of
Lord Lurgan, were injured. at last came
the usual result. The garrison was over
powered and all Were madc prisoners. The
building was leveled with the ground.
All France is occupied with the electoral
contest in Paris, which is to decide the future
Of Gen. Boulanger. Imperial observers say
his cause gains daily. 1t seems as If the
hostile Republican groups conspired to help
him. The candidates they have nominated
against him are the weakest that could be
found-all obscure men, of merely local
reputation The general grows more con-
Gitlent daily; his maniEestos follow each other
rapidly, each more jubilant and boastful
than its predecessor. He is Indifferent
TO the dennnciations of the press, the
politicians and the presidents of both
chambers He declares he is sure of the
people OF Paris. and, with them, of those of
the provinces The Monarchists openly give
him their support; the Imperialists say moth
ing, but viii vote for him. The Socialists,
an unknown but not a neglected quantity in
this election, have declared for HIM, and he
will recruit his ranks by numbers that can
not be calculated from all sections OF
the Republican party. The papers have
given up making estimates of his
vote and of the sources from which
it win be derived Previous elections
afford no clew, give no basis for COM
parison The old political divisions are aban-
saoned. Men of all parties are for him and
men Of all parties are against him. The pre-
ponderance at present would appear to be in
his favor, although nearly all the newspa-
pers deny this, ard, giving up their calcula-
tions, take to betting on the result. One good
symptom is noticeable Passion is subsiding
and good humer Is becoming q marked feat
