LONDON. May S--To-day's cabinet coun-
Gil, which was prolonged over three hours,
discussed Lord Knutsford's reply to the
memorial which the Newfoundland dele
gates presented Wednesday and the
more momsntous question Of the
period OF this dissolution of parlia-
menr. Elections in miniature have
progressed far enough to indicate the drift
Of public opinion. The South Dorset poll
showing significantly large reduction in
the Toryite vote. coming upon the striking
Gladstonian success in Slowmarket, has
dispelled the unionist delusions that the gov
ernment is still certain Of a big majority
although the recent series OF by-elections is
not a perfect test for the general elections,
they have already afforded abundant proof
that the Parnell disaster has not weakened
the popularity of Mr.. Gladstone or the
strength of the liberals The cabinet
business in the House Of Commons in view
of the fact that if the government decides
TO dissolve parliament in the autumn the
strongest measures must be taken to hasten
the passage of the Irish land bill and the
introduction of an educational measure.
After to-day's council it became known
that the ministers had determined against
early dissolution. The lahd bill OBJ
structors can thus work through
their nineteen pages Of amendments
unchecked until after the Whitsun holidays.
Mr.. GoscHen told the House of Commons
to-day that the government is prepared to
jog along with the clauses after the Whit
sun recess. The ministers In the lobby OF
the House assured the disgusted legislators
this evening that parliament might be kept
sitting until late, in the autumn, as the
cabinet meant to pass the educational
measure, and to introduce an Irish local
government bill before proroguing.
THE NEwFoUNDLAND BILL.
In regard to Newfoundland, Lord Knuts-
ford, after to-day's council, resumed COM
munications with the New fOundland dele
gates. The latter, In their memorial, offered
TO submit bill to the imperial government,
which once agreed to, could be- expedi-
tiously passed by the colonial legislature
as temporary act. The delegates draft
OF the bill now known as the Knutsford re-
pA1 w buo uelbkhLbb IueLlOIl0l Is now pre-
pairing and ought to be In the hands Of the
delegates tomorrow. IL is expected that
this reply will enable the colonial legisla-
ture to pass the proposed act before tho
Whitsun recess and thus lead TO the govern
ment's dropping The present obnoxious bill.
vERNEY's EXPULSION.
The formalities Of the expulsion of Capt.
NerEey and Mr.. De Cobain from the House
OF Commons will be secres. Messrs. Glad
stone and Gosohen, Lord Harrington and
Mr.. Mccarthy will speak in vindioation of
the historic purity of the character Of the
House OF Commons. The recent crop Of
seven members OF parliament,
not including several who escaped
exposure. though their cases we're widely
talked about. No party capital can be
made out Of the revelations, each section
contributing its blackguard to the list.
Special curiosity attaches to the question IS
to how Mr.. Gladstone will deal with the
phenomenal outburst Of vice among the
members of the House of Commons. Con.
versing with friend on the Verney case
he expressed the opinion that there was
nothing exceptional in the cases of the pub
lie men exposed, that the Importance Of the
cases liy in their being symptomatic Of
social and moral disease, requiring vigor
GUS, united Christian action to amend it.
A BLACKGUARD RELIEF BILL.
Sir Henry James has introduced bill en-
abling members of the House of Commons
TO resign without resorting TO the fiction Of
applying for the stewardship Of the Chitern
Hundreds. Pending the House publicly
cleansiu ug itself OF Capt Verney aud Mr..
De Cobain. Sir James bill will not be used,
as designed, to enable other culprits TO
sneak out silently, and has got fatally
dubbed "The Parliament Blackguard Re-
lief Bill, although it compels members TO
apply to the House for leave to resign.
THE TIED-UP IRISH FUND.
Mr.. Parnell's refusal to refer the question
of the release OF the Paris fund to arbitration
has thrown the MoCarthyites back upon
another method to relieve evicted tenants.
County conventions meeting throughout
Ireland will raise funds until the date OF
the general election, when 1t
is hoped Parnelism will be
finally wiped out. The McCarthyites
have received overtures proposing
| to them not to contest a number OF seats in
consideration Of the Parnellitos abstaining
from contesting other seats. AS this
arrangement is a trick to allow Mr. Parnell
to return to the next parliament at the head
| Of a secure faction OF probably twenty the
McCarthyites viii not assent to it. Every
Parnellite candidate will be opposed.
BALMAoEDA ARRANGING TO FLEE.
Private cab es from Chile state that Pres
dent Balmaceda is arranging 70 fee from
Santiago and TO come TO London via Buenos
Ayres. The proposals of mediation by
France, Brazil and the United States are
rejected by the Balmacedans, who consider
the success Of such mediation as impossible.
President Balmaceda has invested a large
sum on bis personal account in a London
bank.
RUssIA's JEWS
Lord Rothschild. Sir Julian Goldschmidt
and Samuel Montague form the English
committee to concert with Baron Hirsch and
other continental Jews as to the means to
| assist the Russian Jews. No definite
scheme Of emigration has been ar
| ranged. Communications from st. Peters
| burg leave it doubtful whether the govern
ment will permit wholesale emigration. Mr..
| Vishnegradsky, the Russian finance minis
| ter, who fights the court party against the
| expulsion OF the Jews, has warned the czar
that the commercial interests Of the empire
| demand that the Jews be justly treated In
| the meantime Baron Hirscn's personal
scheme Is limited TO the settling OF 400
families in the Argentine Republic.
