British Party Managers Dissatisfied
With the 1ithes Bill.

LONDON, Nov. S0.-The British cab
met are much concerned at the reports
from their party managers of dissatls-
faction with the tithes bill. Landlords
complain that whatever relief the clergy
obtain from the difficulty with farmers
will be at their expense. The clergy
alone are friendly to the bill, because
they think it will relieve them from
the demands for reduction on
the grounds of agricultural distress
and from religious objections OF nom
conformists. But il is the farmers who
give rise to poli:ical anxiety in the gov
ernment. without the farmers the
government could not hold seat in the
southern and midland countries, and the
farmers BILE that the bill does moth
ing for chem except to
IMPOSE NEW LIABILITIES
to ejectment, and that it depriyes them
Of that cluiin OH person which is now
often effeciual TO obtain reduction or de-
lay. But their strongest complaint is
that the bill does nothing to revise, in
crease or modify the burden of the tithes
with no reason assigned. The 1.-THE is
sometimes eight shillings on one side of
the hedge and two shilings on the other
side; then the farmers can not see how
tiIhes computed upon prices of forty
wears ago can be equitable now. The
bill is not ct all popular with Tory county
members.
RUMoRs ARE CURRENT
tonight that Parnell has been during
the day in private consultation with two
members of the Salisbury cabinet, one
OF them. Lord Knutsfori, who is known
&c possess peculiar personal confidence
of Lori Salisbury. Nothing is known as

cede at least partial home rule 10 Ire
land in the form of provincial councils
for the administration OF local affairs of
the several provinces. This would be
satisfactory to Ulster and aliay
strenuous opposition. which home rule

land.
Gladstone AMI Sir William Harcourt
were in conference Saturday. 1t is I'M
derstOod that Harcourt will lead the
Liberal side of the debate IN commons
this week.
CONSIDERABLE INTEREST
is felt In the action 10 be taken on Tues
day by the town council of Edinburgh,
Scotland, on the motion to remove the
name of Parnell from the burgess
roll of the city. II is significant
that Gladstonian Liberal members of the
council show themselves much more
acrimonious than the Torres in their
treatment of the case. The Liberals, or
portion of them, were in favor of act
ing on the matter of hand, without any
time for consideration. and it was only at
the instances of Baltic and TUrnouil
(Tories) that the subject WAS put over.
IT Is now thought that the council may
find some pretext for again deterring
action.
THE CZAR
has formally annul ed the old free CON-
stitution OF Finland by adopting the
form of government framed and pre-
pared by committee of Russian officials
appointed for the purpose. The new
system places Finland under the same
uutocrHtic rule us other provinces of
Russia. The Finish diet ia not again to
be convoked and the senate is 10 be cou-
stituted under direct appointment by the
car. Trouble is expected in Finland,
where great dissatisfaction is sure TO be
caused by the abolition of ancient privi-
leges of the provinces.
At the request of Duchess OF Tuscany
prayers were offered up to-day by direc-
ton of the pope in St. Peters for the
safety Of the missing arch duke, John
Orth.
Austrian government is much disturbed
over the discovery that fifty plans of
Notifications of Cracow have been stolen.
IL is feared that the thief will dispose of
them to Russia.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-Morley writes to
the press as follows: "The manifesto OF
Parnell contains two or three statements
affecting me which desire. without loss
Of time, TO correct. First, / made no
sort of attempt TO frtter Parnell's action
with reference 10 the lund bill. Second,

ceedings in court were begun, the re-
markebie proposal with the object of

1t was natural that in
