LONDON, Feb. 2.-In the opinion of the
foreign war Office critical times are i'm
pending through the trouble in New
foundland and the Egyptian occupation
reaching climax. 1t is deemed impossi-
BILE to protract the negotiations with
France, and another year must see settle
ment injurious to the governments repu-
ton or grave diplomatic collision with
France.
If the cabinet determine to dissolve par
lament they will not catch the liberals un-
awares. The provincial agents are in COM
munication with Mr.. Schnadhorst, the eel
ebrated organizing chief of the central as
sociation here, and preparations have been
completed and the local candidates select
ed. The central election fund is already
ample. The conservative manager does
not appear to be possessed of equal
powers of organization.
The Parnellite campaign in Ireland pro-
taking the field is a bad augury for them.
Mr.. Harrington and Mr. Redmond are
changing their attitude of forebearanoe to-
ward the priests opposition, and warn the
clergy that they will no longer tolerate
their hostility tamely. Speaking yesterday
at Tralee, Mr.. Harrington said that the
priests must confne themselves to their
private duties; that their dictation in poll
tics did not suit the people, who would
NOT DO f1a - Al
priests should not make war on the peo-
pie. Mr.. Redmond used similar language
at Roscommon. The Freeman asserts that
the priests, despite the bishops, are return
ing to allegiance to the league and that
fifty clergymen of the Dublin diocese have
already intimated their adhesion to the
Parnel1 party. Several McCarthyites at
tempted to address meetings to-day in
West Limerick and Glare, but everywhere
they were obliged to retire. In the face of
the leaguers' opposition they could not get
a hearing. Whilst Mr.. Parnell has called
every possible man to work under the con-
troll of the headquarters in Dublin, the Nc
earthly party take isolated action, chiefly
on personal initiative.
A social sensation has been caused by
the reports of verbal fracas between the
queen and the Prince of Wales at Ports
mouth yesterday. Before going to the
launcn the frlnce OF wales nearQ through
the foreign Office alarming accounts of the
position of ex-Empress Frederick in Paris
He decided to go to bring her away and
wired the queen his mention. On arriv-
ing at the dockyard and joining the queens
circle grouped around the Royal Arthur's
bows, the queen was heard accosting him
with "what do you say-turn my daughter
out of Paris? Nonsense! 1t is impossiblel"
The prince replied in an understone.
The queen visibly enraged, repeated that
it was impossible to believe that any Insult
could be offered to her daughter in Paris
She then sat down and oxcitedly played
her fingers on an electric button to the
alarm of Professor Edgar, and the dock
yard officials, who dreaded a premature
launching of the ship. In further CONVEX
sation she blamed the prince for the in
judicious course he had taken, and threat
ened to countermand his kilograms by
herself wiring. The controversy, how
ever, ended in harmony. The queen, sp-
peased, talked over the matter with the
prince, and the latter before leaving Ports
mouth, sent cipher telegram to eI-Em-
press Frederick backing his own wishes
with the Queens
