LONDON, June Although the
present session of parliament is quite
body is yet to be confronted, and to-
morrow's sitting will begin the earn
est labor of clearing away the
mass of legislation which has
accumulated. Upwards of 800 public
bills and scores of private measures have
been introduced, and of these only ten
have passed since the opening of the ses-
sion. There is q strong indication that the
government is shaky in regard to the
compensation bill, and only Goschen is
understood to be determined to push it
to an end. Unionist newspapers now
advise the government to drop the
measure and Tory journals are advocating
reconsideration and modification of the
bill before the occurrence of the temper
anoe mass meeting called in Hyde park
next Saturday. The protest against this
movement is growing to large proper
tons, and the meeting promises to be ?
one of the
LARGEST AND MOST ENTHUSIASTIC
public gatherings held in London for
many years. and in addition to these
signs of hot warfare against the
measure, there is significant
movement in opposition to it
within the ranks of the government
party. Several strong supporters of the
government have formally intImated to
the ministry that while supporting the
second reading of the bill,
they will, if the measure is
proceeded with, be obliged to offer
and advocate extensive amendments in
committee. The whole tone of the rep
reservations thus made points to the
abandonment of the measure as the
simplest way out of the difficulty, but up
to the present Goschen is obdurate and
speaks to his friends privately as if the
government were determined to proceed
with the bill at all hazards. In this re-
speot the views of MIR. Goschen are
at variance with those of Mr..
Ritohie, who is not sanguine as
to the practicabilIty of passing the meas
ure after the experience gained on the
licensing clauses of the local gov
eminent bill, and in fact Gosohen stands
almost alone in his faith in the prospects
of the bill.
LEPRosY HAS INCREASED
q hospital for lepers has been founded
on Robbers Island near the
African coaet and other hospitals
will also be needed to deal with the evil.
In India legislation is urgently demanded |
for the suppression of leprosy. Six |
lepers were recently arrested while beg |

300 members, LOG for England, 100 for |
the United States of America and 100 for

tive character.
INDIGNATION AT VENICE.
The syndio of Venice has created a
sensation and aroused popular indigna-
ton by the work of undermining
and con sequently vandalizlng the
quare of San Marco in front

,est seems to be of little avail, however,
Ind the work is to be pushed as rapidly
as possible. The improvements will ne
pessitate the removal of many objects
to visitors because of their
ancient origin and historic associations.
