LONDON, June 19-Parliament will be
prorogucd on August 9Th. a vigorous
effort will be made by the Committee on
the Education Bill to extend the operations
Of the measure. The local party managers
have received authentic instructions to pre-
pare for the dissolution Of Parliament early
next summer. The Government intends to
summon the House early in January, and
stake its fate on the Irish Local Govern
ment Bill. They calculate to dissolve Par
lament after carrying the bill. Conserva-
tive uncertainty over the future of the
party is leading to further refusals by the
present members to recontest their seats,
and within the Ministry itself discomfort is
producing disorganzadon.
GoRsT's SARCASTIC SPEECH.
Tie remarkable outburst in which Sir
John E. Gorst expressed contempt for GER
tain Of his colleagues occurred in the Mani
pur debate. Being obliged officially to de-
fend the Indian Government, he made
mocking apology for the brutalities and stu
pidities of British rule abroad, and behind
giDes at the Indian Government he satirized
the Imperial Government. He said Sena-
putty was a man Of brains; that his real
crimes were Independence and originality.
and that the Government preferred amena-
bic mediOcrity. The accepted interpreta
ton Of the speech is that Gorst, recognizing
that the period OF Conservative power is
about to close, is preparing for the time
when he will reassume with Lord Randolph
Churchill an Independent position, aiming
to form aud lead a group strong enough to
give them eventual control Of. or at least.
that the more prominent shall lead the
party
THE BACCARAT SCANDAL
The b8ccarat row is not yet over. Cobb
proposes to ask S,anhope what the Duke of
Cambridge intends to dc to enforce anti
gambling regulations in the army. Regret
ting their weakness in abandoning the hunt
after the Prince Of Wales. some of the other
Radicals mean to raise the subject again on
tie army estimates. L the plans to sustain
the denunciation of the Prince of Wales are
pursued, the Liberal leaders viii not only
withdraw therefrom, but Gladstone pri-
vately states that he and his colleagues mast
retalate on the defamers. The uncOHcealed
disgust of the bulk Of the Liberals over the
proposed further action OF Parliament in
the direction OF q vote Of CensUre of the
Prince may deter the Democratic Radicals
from following up their quest.
TRANSATLANTIC CATTLE BILL
Chaplin's Atlantic Cattle Bill. behind The
seeming simplicity of lis provisions, chiefly
relating 10 additional powers TO inspect yes
sels has tie latent application of the Sc
veTest protective character. Under the
clause granting the Board Of Agriculture
power to insure animals prOpeT ventilation,
food, water, etc. the board obtains supreme
power over the regulations Of trade. a
meeting Of the National Liberal Club has
been arranged for organized opposition 70
the amended American and Canadian Tegu-
latuns for improving traffic, and VIII re-en-
force the opposition against The new meas
uTe, which really aims to obStTuct the
impOTtatiOn Of cattle.
