Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, May 2.-Balfour's brilliant
speech on the Irish land purchase bill in
the commons last night immensely aided
the bill and added to his own reputation
Is an orator. The speech was marked as
free from biting sarcasm and inoisiye IN
vective which usually characterize the
declamatory efforts of the Irish secre-
tary, and his political opponents have
freely We'd with the members of his own
party in extending their congratulations.
wIDENs THE BREACH.
The severe snub which the marquis of
Harrington administered to Chamberlain
,ast night supplied abundant evidence
that the recent breach growing out of
the question of leadership of the Union
list party IN the absence of Lord Harting-

WILL REMAIN AN AMERICAN.
Lord Salisbury will give magnificent
reception to Stanley next week on which
occasion the explorer will be welcomed
by most distinguished gath
ering. The statement that Stanley
intends to become a British sub
ject is unfounded. 1t is I'M
doubleday true that he has though of do
ing SO, but ne is advised that his natu-
radiation would in all probability yitiate
the American copyright of his latest and
most important book and will not take
the risk.

methods in his rescue of Emin, has

The streets of Hamburg are infested by

dealing summarily with every footpad
caught.
