LONDON, May 10.--Britsh politics are get
ting into a tanRle. the unravelng OF which
will be accompanied by much strong language
and an amount OF heat sufficient to set both
Houses Of Parliament on fire. Joseph Cham
berlain predicts that the Government will have
to sacrifice a part OF their Irish Land Purchase
bill. He Processes to despair OF carrying the
bill through the Commons. even In an emascu-
lated form, without the benevolent co0pera-
ton OF Mr.. Gladstone and suggests n confer-
ence OF the Government and opposition lead
ers to that end But the Tory and Homo Rule
rank and file are full Of fight. and the idea of
compromise has been received with howls of
derision from both sides. Chamberlain has
again been snubbed by the Tory leaders, and
It has been considered necessary to issue an
official communication explaining that his ro-
latonS with the Government and Lord Hart
tngton are OF the most cordial character.
The dissatisfaction Of q section OF the Union
ists with certain clauses OF the Government
Tithes bill has necesSitated n private caucus
at Lord Hartington's house. at which Chamber
lain and his friends we're not present To that
bill there are already 120 amendments on the
order book and nearly as many have been
tabled to the Land bill. The Govern ment de-
clares it will carry both bills substantially in
their present form. but II ever 1t had chance
OF doing so 1t has recklessy and fatuously
thrown 1t away by introducing a third i'm
portant measure providing for compensation
to publcans deprived of their liquor licenses
The political gale caused by the notice OF the
Licensing bill has grown during the week into
o bowling tempest. The powerful temperance
organizations. which number in their ranks
politicians Of all shades OF opinion. have taken
tho waIpath. and are painting for Ministerial
scalps. Foremost among the water-drinking
braves Is W. S. Caine. Chamoerlain's trusted
lieutenant, who has proclaimed to the world
that he will not return to his wgwam until tho
bill shall have been withdrawn or the Govern
mont smashed. Scores of meetings are being
held daily. and tho agitation will eliminate
with q great temperance demonstration in
Hyde Park on June I.
To maintain that in tho face Of public opin-
Ion the three measures referred to can be car
ried through Parliament intact Is the verest
drivel. The Government must bend or break
before the storm now raging. Their backs will
not be stiIened by the result Of the East Bris-
tol election. The seat which was rendered
vacant by the death OF Mr.. Cossham was con-
sidered safe for the Liberal candidate. but the
Tories tried to split the Liberal vote by run
ming Wilson. radical labor candidate. The
trick looked like succeeding. for Wilson put
forward an attractive programme which In
cluded home rule. and he proved to be
a powerful speaker. The Tory candi-
date also was good candidate and
he was assured OF the solid 700 votes

posed to DO dissatisfied with the Liberal atti-
tude on the Tory scheme to neutralize foreign
sugar bounties by imposing countervaiinG
duties on imported sugar.
The Liberals had therefore prepared them
selves for a reduced majority. and were hugely
delighted last night to find that they had in
creased their majority from 2.2G4 in 1885 and
l,736 in 1886 to SAT-. The Tory poll. which
was 1888 in 1885 and 1886 in 1856. has fallen

unsatisfactory point about it is that 1t will

Tho rrelates Of the Church OF England. as

discussing the burning question OF permitting

Upon the more delicate question OF sister

place them under the care and guidance OF |
the Church. Sisters not under 30 years OF age |

encouragement British merchants generally
recognizing that any Interference on their

touch the belfast Chamber on tender
