A DisgruntIed Party.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 18.-Speaker
Reed IS tremendous anxiety to force the
Federal election law through congress at
this session is likely to involve him in
Greater difficulties and produce more dis
satisfaction among the house Republic
cans than anything else he has done.
Just now Republicans in the house are
greatly Disguised by the pros eet that
the passage of that bill through the SEN
ate will be imperilled as consequence Of
the proposed Federal election legislation .
Democratic senators have served notice
on the Republicans that they intend to
prolong indefinitely debate on the tariff
bill unless they receive assurance that
the Federal election law will be dropped.
1t is admitted by Republicans that the
Democrats have the power, as the senate
rules stand, to do this. Tariff men are
badly worked up over the situation and
do not hesitate to denounce Reeds tao
tics, which have brought
about this state of affairs
A Republican member said this morning:

LONDON, June lS.-The Post approves
the agreement with Germany.
The daily News admits the value of
the protection of Zanzibar, but thinks
the Conservatives are more likely to be
dissatisfied with the agreement than the
Liberals.
The Chronicle declares that by his con-
cessions TO Germany Lord Salisbury has
fixed on the brow Of the Imperial
Unionist party a brand of ignominy
The Pallmall Gazette in commenting
upon the settlement of the question be-
tween England aud Germany relative to
Africa, denounces Lord Salisbury's sur
render of the island of Heligeland to
Germany in return for German concss-
sious in Africa as shameful, but says the
announcement of the settlement was ad-
mirablv dramatic. Nothing, the Gazette
says, could be more abject, but Lord
Salisbury is an artist at abjectness. He
announced his Sedan on the anniversary
of the battle of Waterloo.
The st. James Gazette says tine agree
ment is bad bargain; it will be the duty
of parliament to reject the bill providing
for the surrender. of Heligeland to Ger
many.
The Globe says Lord Salisbury's gains
are more than adequate-they are am
pie. England gains far more than
she gives away. If Germany has gained
her chief point in interior of Africa we
have vastly increased our defence on the
East coast. If Germany is satisfied, we
have every reason to be more so. The
establishment OF British protectorate
over Zanzibar is q handsome set off to
the surrender of Heligeland.
