London Sept. 25.-Mr Gladstone's coming deliver
at the liberal Federation meeting is invested with
further Importance by the authorized announcement
that he intends to review Lord saIisburys foreign
policy and declare what HE will be II he should
again be placed in power. Mr.. Morley has already
declared that the next Gladstone Administration Will
accomplish the evacuation OF Egypt with the bnefest
possible delay. Letters from Mr. Gladstone to tie
Servian politician Govomovtch which will appear In
tomorrows issue Of The Speaker likely to cause
q sensation in Europe, rs they show the widest pos
sble divergence between the Liberal and the present
Conservative policy. Mr. Gladstone advocates the
closest harmony among the Balkan States epudiates
Lord Salisburys diplomacy as tending toward the
supremacy of Bulgaria the other states and adds
that he feels warmly with the lately subjected popuia
tions of southwestern Europe. AS the last phrnse
can only apply Autria's taking possession of Bosnia
and Herzegovina. the letter Is interpreted to mean
that Mr. Gladstone desires to ous the Ausrians from
Bosnia and to support the formation Of federation
Of the Balkan states.
The Gladstone Liberals continue to arrange for the
future on the supposed certainty Of their bciug in
power by the autumn of 1892. The Conservatives
now talk of postponng the general elections until
the remotest legal period, April 1893, In order to
enable the Government to get the Irish local govern
ment in working order.
Economic experts agree that the net addition to the
normal imports OF American grain has not exceeded
100000 900, of which part will be taken in Injuries
and part in gold. II the extravagant buying OF
American railroad securities continues the English
indebtedness will be further enhanced, and will lead
10 an increase Of bullion shipments. Mr.. Grifen's
recent estimate that G1ooOooOo in gold would be the
limit of the export to NewYork is not disputed, but
this maximum is expected to entail an inGrease
of the Bank Of England rate to or per cent.
