Of Business.

LONDON, May l4.-Ine vote on the
second reading of the local taxation bill,
involving the question of compensation
to keepers of public houses forced out
of business by the reduction Of the
number of licenses, which it is ex-
pected will be reached tomorrow even
ing, is in its turn the matter of para
mount political interest. Speculation
upon the strength of the support which
the government will be able to hold
to the measure is engaging the at
tentlon of men of all parties,
and the general opinion is that the
bill will pass its present stage by an av-
erage government majority. The whips
have been active today, and the attend
ance of members tomorrow evening is
sure to be large. A few Liberals will
vote with the Conservatives on the
question. and SOmeTOries will vote with
Mr.. Gaines following of UnioniStS into
the temperance ranks on this occasion
will amOnnt to much. and owing to the
attitude of the Liberal party in regard to
the liquor question in the past, the Glad
StOnianS cannot afford to commit the
party to a stultifying position by voting
in body against the measure. Tie
Parnellites will vote with the opposition
solely as matter Of consistency, the
bill being a government measure, and
not as an expression of opinion on the
main question. The meekness with
which the London press receive the
drubbing administered to them by Mr..
Stanley in his speech in the Guildhall
yesterday causes great deal of COM
ment and strengthens general belief
that his remarks were
None Too Severe.
The Times is especially mild in its
references to the speech. and thinks
that the explorers warning ought to be
needed by the government. England,
the paper asserts. has the strongest
claim of any European power to any ad-
vantage that may be secured in Africa,
owing to the undeniable fact that every
thing that has been done in the interest
OF civilization in that country is due to
England's efforts. This is precisely the
kind of language of whose absence
from the columns of the newspapers Mr..
Stanley complained. and it is conse-
quently evident that his speech has had
good effect. The rumors which have
been in circulation the last two or three
days that Mr.. Munro, chief commits
sioner of the metropolitan police, would
shortly resign, owing to his disagree
ment with Home Secretary Matthews,
are not to be put down, Mr.. Munro's
denial to the contrary Notwithstanding.
1t is known that the commissioner and
the home secretary have disagreed for
fImn nact and If lie nllttnp nf
record that on Saturday Mr.. Mat
thewS unhesitatingiy countermand-
ed Munro's orders in regard
to the parade to Hyde park in the
interest of the WOrkingmen'S hospital
Everything points to the fact that a
crisis is imminent, and this view of the
matter is supported by the rumor in Of
fetal circles that the commissioners
resignation has already been asked for.
The Irish diStillerS are raising fund
of ESQ, 900 to be used in the interest of
the liquor manufacturers and dealers
in the next general parliamentary cleo
ton, which they are persuaded is not
far off. A case of wholesale poisoning
has occurred in Wurzen, SaXony, which

and fifty Or more of them, mostly chill
dren, are seriously ill. Investigation
discloses the fact that the victims had
had eaten bread made of -four which
had been ground in leaden machine.
Most of the flour was purchased from
two dealers, whose stock has been
seized, and the authorities are conduct
ing a searching examination of the flour
in the hands Of other dealers. Lubbock
is excited over the mysterious murder
of girl, a daughter Of prominent
lawyer of that city named Petersen. The
body was found in horribly mangled
condition, with evidences that the girl
had been crlminally assaulted before
being butchered by some emulator of
Jack the Ripper. Kaiser William, in a
speech at the banquet gwen in his honor
in the castle at Konigsberg this even
ing, said: 81 drink to the prosperity of
East Prussia; may it be spared the hor-
rors of war. Should. however, the duty
be imposed upon me of defending the
frontiers, the sword of East Prussia will
deal with the enemy as it did in 1870"
