Gladstone, Harcourt and Parnell Sup
port the Government.


LONDON, July 24.-Since Mr.. Labouchere
laid on the table in the House Of Commons
his motion to substitute for the report of
the royal graft committee an address to
the queen stating that the sums given the
royal family are already amply sufficient
and that If further supplies are needed,
they ought to be provided through re-
trenchment in the expenses Of the roya!
household, and not by fresh demands upon
the taxpayers, there has been rupture
among the liberals, and MIR. Glad
stone, Sir William Vernon Har-
court, and Mr.. Parnell have decided to
support the government. John Morley
will move an amendment against
increasing the allowances of the royal
princes, unless when the Aext request is
made, it is accompanied by a pledge that it
will be the final one. Mr.. Gladstone's pressure
upon Mr.. Labouchere to withdraw his motion
las been futile. Mr.. Labouchere will listen
to no compromise The Parnelites are
whipping for the government, greatly 10 the
disgust of the radicals. The opposition
being thus at skies and sevens, large gov
ernment majority on the report of the
royal grants committee is assured.
Many ParnelIites will support Mr..
