THE CAUSE OF THE MINISTER'S RECALL
LONDON, April THE recall of the
bulgarian Minister at Belgrade was not
due to the strained relations between
the two Balkan powers, but to the fact
that the Servian Government had sent
the Sofia Cabinet proofs of the Bulga-
rlan Minister'S intrigues against the
Regency and the Servian Government.
General Gruitsch, president of the Ser
Wan Cabinet, asked M. Stambuloff, the
Bulgarian Premier, to Judge for himself
whether the Bulgarian Minister'S con-
duct was in accordance with diplomatic
usage. The Bulgarian Government. in
recalling its Minister, showed that it
was anxious to maintain amicable rela-
tions by adopting severe measures
against its representative.
A STRATEGIC MOVEMENT.
1t is stated that Mr.. w. S. Caine, M.
F., is contemplating strategic move
ment to meet that recently executed by
Mr.. Caldwell, member for the ST. Rollox
division of Glasgow. So robust Liber-
al as the member for Barrow must find
himself i'll at ease among his present
surroundings, and his recent action on
the Parnell Commission report has
shown commendable independence of
official leading. The chief difficulty in
the way of Mr.. Gaines return to the
Liberal fold will arise from the fact that
he sits for Barrow by the grace of the
House of Devonshire, who would show
scant liberation for any qualms Of their
nominees conscience. The extraor-
dinary doctrine of
LOCAL OPTION FOR PEERS
is apparently gaining ground, though
few really believe such reform of the
House of Lords will ever form part of
an act of Parliament. Lord Roseberry
would certai My succeed Mr. Gladstone
in leading the Liberals if he would
change his place in Parliament; and
probably Lord Dunraven would prefer
the popular atmosphere. To address
the House of Lords has been well COM
pared with the speaking TO an iceberg.
But it is a strange way of mending a
legislative house to allow its members
power of going elsewhere. Mr..
Bright once said that he might nat OBJ
ject to be Senator in reformed Sec
ond chamber, upon which friend re-
marked that his statement was in it.
self
A STRONG ARGUMENT AGAINST SUCH A
REFORM.
Other elderly ornaments of the House
of Commons might, he suggested, have
similar disposition, and so power
would gravitate, as it has in the United
States, away from the popular cham Der.
Lord Derby and Lord Sellbourne fancy
that Lord Harting gton's presence in the
House of Commons is an effectual bar
rier against Mr.. Gladstone's success.
But that is not at all in agreement with
Liberal opinion. The common feeling
is that Lord Harrington at the general
election will be obliged, to the advan-
tage of the Liberals, to rank himself
with the party of Lord Salisbury.
EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION.
LONDON, April S-The statistics sub
mitted by the authorities in charge of
British emigration show that since jan
uary emigration to America has de-
creased eight thousand below that for
the corresponding period Of 1889. This
falling off, it is represented, is duo to
the fact that wages have increased at
home until they are quite as high, and
in some cases higher, than the rates
paid to similar employment in America,
while the opportunities for obtaining,
work here are equally as good. These
evidences of improvement are attested
by the fact that the number of immi-
grants arriving in England from foreign
countries have increased since January
1, by more than eight thousand in COM
parison with the months of January.

long hours which they are compelled to
work, and have organized a general
strike. Hitherto they have averaged
fourteen hours labor day, and as they
only demand a reduction to twelve
hours the justice of their movement is
apparent to everybody except their en-
ployers. The success of the strikers is
generally predicted.
THE MATTER OF REAL CONCERN.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting
on the situation in Germany says:
''The point that concerns statesmen of
other countries is not who directs the
policy of Germany but what course will
it take? Prince Bismarck, though he
could not always be interpreted with
certainty, represented in the main
known ideas, prominent among which
was the status quo. William II. in all
probability has plenty of definite ideas,
but at present his policy is known to the
world at large only from his speeches.
Between speeches and acts there is
often a great gulf. The Emperor has,
for instance, declared in the most posi-
tive language that his chief aim is
peace. Soha every monarch and every
statesman within the memory of the
