LONDON, Sept. 25.-ICopyrighted by

Gladstone's coming deliverance at the
Liberal federation meeting is invested
with further Importance by the author
lied announcement that he intends to
review Lord Salisbury's foreign policy
and declare what his own will be if he
should again be placed in power. The
federation proceedings are not likely to
astonish the world with any startling
variation from its cut and dried pro-
gramme, but if expectation proves cor
rect, Gladstone will make the meeting
memorable by statement of his foreign
policy, committing the Liberals to line
of action directly opposed to that of
Lord Salisbury. Morley has already
declared that the next Gladstone ad-
ministration will accomplish the eyacua-
tion of Egypt with the least possible
delay. M
POLITICAL SENSATION.
Letters from Gladstone to the Servian
politician, Yovomovitch, which will ap-
pear in tomorrow issue of The Speaker.
are likely to cause a sensation in Eu-
rope, as they show the widest possible
divergence between the Liberal and
present Conservative policy. Mr.. Glad
stone advocates the closest harmony
among the Balkin states; repudiates
Salisburp's Diplomacy as tending to-
wards the supremacy of Bulgaria over
the other states, and adds that he "feels
warmly with the lately subjected popu-
lations of Southwestern Europe" The
last phrase can only apply to Austria's
taking possession of Bosnia and Herze-
govinia. The letter is interpreted to
mean that Gladstone desires to oust the
Austrians from Bosnia and support the
formation of federation of Balkan
states.
LIBERALS BUoYANT WITH HOPE.
The Gladstone Liberals continue to
arrange ior the future on the supposed
certainty of their being in power by
s the autumn OF '92. The conservatives
now talk of postponing the general cleo
tions until the remotest legal period,
which will be April, '93. in order to en-
able the government to get the Irish
local government in working order.
THE BALANCE OF TRADE.
Economic experts agree that the net
addition to the normal imports of
American Grain, has not exceeded $780,
900 900, of which part will be taken in
luxuries and part in gold. If extrava-
CANT buying of American railroad Sc
curities continues, English indebtedness
will be further enforced and will lead to
an increase of bullion shipments. Mr..
?Geiffen's recent estimate that G10,000,-
900 in gold would be the limit of the
export to New York, is not disputed,
but even this maximum is expected to
entail the Increase of the Bank of Eng
land rate to or per cent.
M BIDwELL AND MAVERICK.
The appeals of the friends of Austin
Bidwell to Home Secretary Matthews to
remit the remainder Of Bidwell's term
of imprisonment have failed, in spite OF
the fact that they were supported by
high influence. Secretary Matthews re-
fuses even to reply to the memorial.
Efforts to secure the release of Mrs.
Maybrick will be equally futile. The
convict's solicitor has been advised not
to proceed with the agitation as the
home Office will decline to reopen case
In any form.
MR.. GRAvES's EXPERIENCE IN GERMANY.
The American artist, Mr.. Graves, who
was recently arrested in Germany, for
taking photographs of scenery, has ar
rived in London. He says he was ar
rested at Mayence, while taking harm
less view of the town from the fort
works, and was confined for thirty three
hours in cell, furnished with only a
dirty mattress. His food consisted of
black bread, mug of coffee which was
drawn from tank, and rotten soup,
also taken from tank, until he was al.
lowed to buy his meals. He was re-
leased through the American consul,
and then went to Metz, where he was
again arrested for taking photographs
in the streets. From Metz he was
hunted over the French frontier.
BALFoUR's VOTING PLACE.
Mr.. Balfour has registered himself as
"a voter in South Dublin. The Conserv-
atives propose his candidacy for mem
ber of parliament for that seat.
