LoNroN,Aug. 1.-lSpeciall-The Eng
lish Radicals arc arm and arm, for the
first time, with the Irish Tories. The
bond of union is a common one against
the Roman Catholic supremacy in Ire
land. The Irish Tories claim that Bal
four is betrying them to the enemy, and
is willing to conciliate tho Roman pre-
late 1T the expense OF Irish Taxpayers.
So great is the feeling aroused that
Balfour has been compelled to abandon,
for this session, his bill for training
schools, which was believed to conceal
an insiGious surrender of Irish educate
to the Church of Rome.
The Irish Protcstants. being about
one fourth the population in number,
and being conside rably moro important
in proportion to their interests. are OBJ
posed to any educational plan that does
not make allowance for Protestant
claims. The English Radicals, it is
evident, will not consent to Irish homo
rule, with the Catholic clergy OH top,
and English Tories at heart are not
nearly so opposed to the Catholic Church
as the non-conformistS.
On the other hand the Irish Tories
have not the old rancor toward member
of the opposite faith, and it is not singu-
lar that when they suspected Rclfour OF
conceding something to Catholicism,
they should join hands with non-con-
formists to oppose him.
Dillon is n lrpodv Inv ponu1or loi in,
the leader of the Irish people. Ills an
nounccment Of opposition to Parncll
was the final blow to Parncll's prestige,
! and reduces the former leader to tho
! rank OF Il guerilla. Indeed. before Dill
Ions release it was apparent that Par
nelfs most persistent followers were
becoming shaky in their allegiance. lie
gives no sign of yielding, but, except in
Dublin, he can hardly be said to have a
respec table following. There one null
titudc is with him still, and beyond
question he would be returned in gen
eral election. His refusal to pay tho
costs Of the O'Shea divorce suit is add
ing to his unpopularity.
People say that as no. got O'Shca's
wife away he ought to be willing to
meet the court expenses OF tho hus-
! band. There is much doubt as to Par
nell's financial condition. Mrs. OShca
has property in her own right, and will
come into considerable more, whatever
may be the result of the suit about the
estate OF the late Lady Wood. On the
other hand, Parncll has been cxtrava-
! giant Of his private means in the de-
vclopment of his Wicklow property
! and in carrying on his futile attempt of
! Irish affairs. 1t is thought that there
may be an element of revenge in his op-
.
costs. as the impression is general that
0'Shca was we'll paid for breaking down
the Irish leader.
| Mr.. Parncll started for Ireland to-
night. His followers in the house Of
commons are visibly weakening in their
| loyalty to tho declining leader. They
are talking OF tho necessity Of another
room Is" conference To discuss the
/ leadership. Some Of them say they are
! tired of Parnell's hauteur, which i,
hardly less marked than in the times of
his undisputcd supremacy.

TIE KAISER At KEEL.
The Kaiser is expected to arrive at

his yachting trip TO the westward and
northward. Great preparations are be.

| HEAVY DUTY on AMERICAN PORK.
Advices from Paris go to show that
American interests are confronted with
new disadvantages. The political ALI
ance between France and Russia, vir-
tualiy arranged if not formally signed,
/ is TO be cementcd by intimate CONNER
cial reciprocity. Russia is TO be the
corn field OF France. and French manu-
facturers are to have favorable admis
sion to Russia. This care of the Rus
sian harvest will prevent the agricul-
tural interests of that country from
profitins greatly by "A preferential ar
rangcment with France, but it is not
doubted that next season Russian pro-
duction will be greatly stimulated.
The proposed pork tariff to take the
place OF the prohibition now existing on
! American pork, is sufficiently burden
some to discourage American importa
