first cases or baskets of oranges, toma-
toes or apricots, and not single sack
of the earth nuts OF Valencia, form
erly purchased by Frenchmen for the
manufacture of oils, is exported, the
MarseilleS merchants now obtaining all
that they require from India. These
miSfortunes fully account for the large
emigration from Spain to South Amer
lea. The article published on Thursday
in the Berlin Tageblatt to the effect
that Arehduke Johann Salvador, of
Austria, was about to enter a ship
building yard in London, was I'M
doubtedly meant to discredit the young
generals qualifications in the eyes OF the
world. The Archduke Johann is a
bachelor of thirty-SiX, the fourth son of
the Grand Duke Leopold, of Tuscany,
who abdlcated i'm 1889. He is long way
removed from any prospects to success
sion to the throne, being member of a
younger branch of the imperial house.
His reason for wishing 10 retire into
private life is one which illustrates the
way in which things are managed in
Austria. The Archduke Johann is
keen military refOrmer. But the
multitudeS of archdukPS who object to
reform is so great that such efTorts have
very little chance of success. The
arehduke became disguised with the OPP
position he encountered and finally
GAVE UP THE STRUGGLE.
He proposes now to devote himself
largely to military literature. He has
already had several very t1attering of
fers from London publishers, and will
undoubtedly accept one of them,
and make London his future
home. In the field of military Ii
terature he is already well known, lee
ture which he delivered six years ago
to society of officers having attracted
much attention. In this lecture he Sc
verely criticised the red tape system,
which is nearly as injurious In the Aus
trian army as it is in the army of Great
Britain. His Outspoken criticisms eX-
cited the wrath of the author
tiles, and he has been in disfavor
with them ever since. The AuStrlanS
have long been masters of the
art of losing the services of good gener-
ais. The Archduke Charles, brother OF
the Emperor Francis l., was for many
years the only commander in Europe
who could face Napoleon with the ghost
of chance in his favor, but he was so
hampered by the court that his brilliant
talents were made useless. The Italian
campaigns of 1866 produced two brill
liant leaders of the Austrian side,
the Archduke Albert, son of Napoleon 5
adversary, and Baron Kuhn, who
about year ago was retired from ac-
tive service because he had made q
speech criticizing the military policy OF
the court party. The action OF Arch
duke Johann is
SYMPTOM OF THE Discomfort
that prevails among the ablest men of
the dual monarchy. 1t is to be feared.
however, that it will have little effect.
No permanent improvement could be
expected from anything short of a gen.
eral striking off of the archdukes
who are now barnacieS impeding
progress. A definite arrangement has
now been made with Mir. Gladstone as
to his great speech in Manchester. The
delegates of the National Liberal Fed
Grafton are summoned for their first
business session on Tuesday, Dec. 8,
and on the evening Of that day Mr..
Gladstone will review the political stu
alton generally in an address which
he is already preparing. This feature
will enhance the interest of the
first days meeting and insure a
splendid attendance of delegates. On
Monday. the day before the federation
business begins, number of public
meetings will be held in Manchester
and its vicinity, to be addressed by the
men of note who will be drawn to so at
tractive political center. There will
be three sessions of the council of the
federation, which consists of represen-
tatives of liberal associations
throughout the United Kingdom, and
fully 5000 delegates will be pres
ent. The meetings OF the council will
be held in the Free Trade hail on Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday. Sir
James KittsOn, president of the fedora
ton, Will preside. A conference and
public meeting, under the auspices OF
the Women's Liberal Federation. will
also be held. It is now learned that the
recent conferences at Hawarden castle
