LONDON, June 19.-Parliament will be
prorogued August g. This is the official
arrangement which resulted from an agree
ment between the Government and the op-
position whips, after the latter had commu-
Icated with their leaders with reference to
their policy upon the remaining bills of the
session.
A vigorous effort will be made in commit
Tee on the education bill to extend the
operation Of the measure. A strong section
Of the Radicals will fight for an amendment
giving ratepayers local control, but the
progress of the bill generally will be acceler-
ated by the Liberal acquiescense in its main
principles. The members long for a spell
Of rest before beginning the election CAM
Iaign. The party managers, who are
swarIninC TO the lobcIeS of the House of
Commons, have iuy1 received authentic in
sTructions TO prepare for dissolution early
next summer. The Government intends to
summon the House early in January and
stake its fate on the Irish local bill, and
calculates to dissolve Parliament after carry
ing the bill
Conservatives Beginning to Lose Hope.
The Conservatives uncertainty over the
future of the party is leading to further
retusais by present members to recontest
their seats, and within the Ministry itself
discon sent is producing disorganization. A
remarkable outburst, in which Sir. j. E.
GeEst expressed contempt for certain of his
colleagues in the Ministry, occurred in the
Manipur debate. Being obliged officially
10 defend the Indian Government, he made
z mocking apology for the brutalities and
stupidities of the British rule abroad, and
behind iihes at the Indian Government he
satirized the Imperial Government. He said
that the Senaputty was a man of brains;
that his real crimes were independence and
originality, and that the Government dis
liked original talent, preterring amenable
modiocrity.
The Tories heard him aghast, wondering
al whom the language was leveled. When
interviewed later, Sir. Z. J. Gerst denied |
that il was directed at Viscount Cross, his |
chief in the India Office, or at any other |
colleague whose complaisance overtOps his |
ability.
Gerst and Churchill May Lock Arms.
The accepted Interpretation of the speech |
j. that Gerst, recognizing that the period |
OF Conservative power is about to close, is |
preparing for a time when he will resume |
pendent position, aiming TO form and lead a |
group strong enough to give them eventual |
control, or, at least, that the more promi- |
nent shall lead the party. Gerst, who is a |
Tory Democrat of keener intellect and |
Suucjer Judgment than Churchill has long
cherished ideas of renovating the Conserva-
tive party. He believes prolonged period |
In opposition would afford his best chance |
TO come to the 'front.'
The baccaraJ ferment is not over vet. |
Mr.. Cobb proposes to ask Mr.. Stan |
hope what the Duke of Cambridge in |
tends to do TO enforce the anti-gambling |
regulations in the army, and what officers |
or men have been punished for gambling. |
Rcgretting their weakness in abandoning the /
hunt On the Prince of Wales, some other |
Radicals mean 10 raise the subject again on |
the army estimates If the plans to sustain |
the denunciation of the Prince of Wales |
are pursued the Liberal leaders will not |
only be disassociated thercfrom, but Mr.. |
Gladstone privately states that he and his
colleagues must retalliate on the defamers |
Thc unc0ncealed disgust OF the bulk of the /
Liberals over the proposed further action of |
Parliament in the direction Of censure of |
the Prince may deter the democratic Radi- |
Gals from following up the quest.
Protection Measure in Disguise.
Mr.. Chaplin's Atlantic cattle bill, behind |
the seeming simplicity of its provisions, |
chiefly relating to addional powers TO inspect |
vessels, has latent application of the sever
es5 protective character. Under a clause |
granting the Board of Agriculture power to
insure animals proper ventilation, food,
water, etc. the board obtains supreme regu-
larion OF the trade. A meeting of the Ma
'icual Liberal Club, Sir Thomas Farrar pre-
siding, arranged for organized opposition TO \
the amended American and Canadian regu-
IuJions Tor improving the conditions of traf-
Tic, and will reinforce opposition against |
The new measure, which really aims TO OBJ |
struct the importation OF cattle.
Consul reports on the half-time system /
abroad, which were tabled in Parliament
for use on the debate on the factories BILL |
showed that the recommendations of the |
Berlin labor conference have been fully ap-
piled in Germany, Belgium, Holland and
the Scandinavian countries. and partly so
IN France, Switzerland and Italy. The con-
sensus Of the reports is that legislation for
the protection OF women and children is
everywhere progressing. Most countries, |
also, are promoting schemes for the insur-
auce OF workmen.

fatigues OF q cabinet position.
