ROYALTY Will COME
To Attend The Great Worlds Fair
at Chicago in 1898.
KING WILLIAM AND THE ENGLISH
Royalty VIII Honor the Fair With
Their Presence and the Lord Mayor
ofLondon WIN Come Next Spring to
Sec How She's Getting Along
Other Matters of Interest From
Over the Pond.

Ccpnch, 1891, BY ae NerS York As'oeiaied Pre'''
LONDON, Aug 7.-Tho close OF the
session Of Parliament brings 10 the
ministers only brief cessation of work
and to politicians only short respite
of speech making. The recess will be
the liveliest experienced in many years,
each side working in view Of the fact
that it will be the last campaign before
the dissolution Of Parliament
Mr.. Baltour will open the campaign
on Monday at Plymouth when 1t is ex-
pected he will give a further inkling OF
his solution Of the problem Of Irish
county government to which the cabi-
net is now distinctly pledged. The bur
den OF the work OF recess rests uoon
Mr.. Balfour. In his Irish local govern
ment bill, it is understood the feature
will be the franchise, the electors OF the
county boards being confined to persons
actually paying rates. The measure
will bear the smallest possible resem-
bIance TO Home Rule measure. The
leading principle will prevent boards
createdLunder its provisions from being
controlled by the masses.
Il the presence OF royal persons can
ensure the success OF the Worlds Fair
in Chicago, its'success now seems to be
assured. 1t is certain that several
members OF the English royal family
are showing such an interest in the
progress OF the preparation as indicates
an intention on their part to visit
the Fair, and communications
have reached London from Ber-
lin, which leave little doubt,
II Europe is at peace ct the
time of the fair, that the German En-
peror will indulge himself in the great-
est voyage OF his life in seeing America.
The keen and growing interest taken in
London on the Fair rendered 1t proba-
BILE that an invitation from the mayor
of Chicago to the Lord Mayor Of LON
don, asking him TO inspect the site and
preparations for the Fair this year
would find acceptance. II the pending
arrangements result favorabfy the Lord
Mayor will be enabled to see Chicago
next spring.
Mr.. Dillon, while hero conferred un-
ceasingly with Parnelliles with the view
of ending the sclhsm in the Irish party.
He found them resolutely opposed to
Mr.. Parnell's retirement as condition
OF reunion. Several intimated their in
tention to withdraw from public life,
but during the tenure OF the House OF
Commons they will adhere to their old
leader. The meeting Of Messrs. Dillon,
0'Brien, Mccarthy and Sexton to delib-
crate on the future leadership OF tho
party resulted in an agreement that Alr.
Dillon should be formally invested with
the leadership when Parliament reas-
sembles. Meanwhile Mr.. Mccarthy
will be the nominal chief, though Mr..
Dillon will be the virtual leader. This
arrangement settles rumors ascribing to
Mr.. Sexton an intention to contest the
presidency Of the party.
Lord Salisbury has instructed his
solicitor to press the bankruptcy case
against Mr.. 0'Brien to the rapidest pos
sIble conclusion. Besides Lord Sails
bury, another claimant, George Bolton,
to whom jury awarded "a, 900 damages
in libel action against Mr.. o'Brien
years ago, has revived his demand. 1t
Is plain that the object Of both sides is
to disqualify Mr.. o'Brien for Parlia-
mentary lifo.
