LONDON, June 19.-Parliament will be
prorogued Aug. 6. This is the official ar.
rangement, which resulted from an agree
ment between the government and the op-
position whips, after the latter had commu-
nicated with their leaders with reference to
their policy upon the remaining bills of the
session.
| Vigorous effort will be made in the COM
mittee on the education bill to extend the
operation Of the measure. A strong section
OF radicals will fight for an amendment
giving the rate payers local control. But
the progress of the bill generally will be
accelerated by the liberal hcquiescence in
its main principles.
LONGING FOR A REST.
The members long for a spell of rest be-
fore beginning the election campaign. The
local party managers, who are swarming in
just received authentic instructions TO pre-
pare for dissolution early next summer.
The government intend to summon the
House early in January and stake their fate
on the Irish local government bill, and they
calculate TO dissolve parliament after car
rying the bill.
CONSERVATIVES IN ROW.
The. conservative uncertainty over the
future of the party is leading to further
refusals by present members TO re>oontest
their seats, and within the ministry itself
discomfort is producing disorganization. A
remarkable outburst, In which Sir j. E.
Gorst expressed contempt for certain Of his
colleagues in the ministry, occurred In the
Manipur debate. Being obliged officially
to defend the Indian government he made
mockirg apology for the brutali-
ties and stupidities Of the British
rule abroad and behind jibes at the Indian
| government he satirized the imperial gov
| ernment. He said that Senaputty was a
man OF brains, that his real crimes were in
| dependence and originality, and that the
| government disliked original talent, pre-
| ferring amenable mediocrity. The :tories
heard him aghast. wondering at whom the
language was leveled.
SIR GoRsT's DENIAL.
When interviewed later Sir Gorst denied
| that it was directed at Viscount Cross, his
chief In the Indian Office, or at any other
colleague whose complaisance ovartops his
| ability. The accepted Interpretation Of the
| speech Is that Sir 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 and lead group
strong enough to give them eventual oon-
troll, or at least that the most prominent
shall lead the party. Sir Gorst, who is a
| tory democrat of keener intellect
and sounder Judgment than Lord
| Churchill, mas long cherished ideas
of renovatinR the conservative party.
He believes prolonged period in opposi-
tion would afford his best chance to come tc
| the front.
THE BAoCARAT SCANDAL.
| The bacoarat ferment Is not quite over
yet Mr.. Cobb proposed to ask Sir Stan
hope what the Duke ofCambridge intends
to do to enforce the auti-gambling regula-
| tions In the army, and what officers or men
have been punished for gambling. Regret
ing their weakness in abandoning the
hunt on the Prince of Wales some other
radicals mean to raise the subject again or
the army estimates. IL the plans to sustain
| the denunciation of the Prince of Wales
are pursued the liberal leaders will moi
| only be- dsassociated therefrom, but mr
Gladstone privately states that he and his
colleagues must retaliate on the defamers,
The unconcealed disgust of the bulk
of the liberals over the propose further
action OF parliament In the direction oil
censure of the Prince of Wales may deter
the democratic radicals from following UT
the question.
CATTLE ON THE OCEAN.
Chaplain's Atlantic cattle bill, behind tn,
seeming simplicity of its provisions, chiefly
relating to additional powers to inspect yes
sells, has latent application Of the severesi
protective character. Under the claus,
granting the board Of agriculture the power
TO insure animals proper ventilation. food
water, etc., the board obtains supreme reg
ulation of the trade. A meeting o.
the National Liberal Club, Sir Thoma
| ganized opposition 10 the amended
| American and Canadian regulations fol
improving the conditions Of the traffic anC
will reinforce the opposition against tn,
new measure, which really aims to obstruc
the importation of cattle.
THE HALF-TIME SYSTEM.
The consular reports on the half tim
system abroad, which were tabled In par
lament for use in the debate on tho facto
| ries bill, showed that the recommendation
of the Berlin labor conference have beer
fully applied In German, Belgium, HOLLAND
and the Scandinavian countries and partly
so in France, Switzerland and Italy. The
consensus OF the reports Is that legislation
for the protection OF women and children
is everywhere progressing. Most countries
are also promoting schemes for the insur
| ance of workman
