Special 10 THE MoRSINs CALL.

NEW YORK. Nov. 24.-Edmund Yates in
his special cable-letter to the Tribune from
London says: have reason to believe that
Lord Stanley of Preston intends to resign
his appointment as Governor-General to
Canada next spring, but it is not true that
he is to follow the steps of Lord Dufferin
and Lord Lansdowne, aud proceed from
Ottawa to Calcutta. II is certain, in spite
Of the quasi official contradiction, that Lord
Lannsdowue will return home next year.
SO that India and Canada will be for the
second time at Lord Salisbury's disposal.
Some Liberals appear to think that Lord
Randolph Churchill will attempt to form a
coalition or "cave." On the Tory side of
the House the idea is regarded with ridicule
among Conservative members. Lord Ran
dOlph has not two followers. If he at
tempted 10 form cave he would only make
himself ridiculous.
THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.
The enthusiastic reception accorded to
Prince Bismarck when he passed through
Berlin may be regarded as an outward and
visible sign of the uneasiness which gener-
ally prevails in Germany respecting the re-
Ccul III az VI puUllC all AIS. nc emperor )
blunderingS have alarmed all classes
When Prince Bismarck was at the helm
every body felt safe, for Russia was then
real friend, and Franco was still isolated
and in Tejee ton, while the policy of Austria
and Italy was dictated from Berlin. Now
not only is there an undisguised under
standing between Russia and France, but
the relations between Austria and Russia
have become more friendly than they have
ever been since the Crimean War, and if
Austria showed signs Of Withdrawing from
the Triple Alliance everyone knows that
Italy would at once throw over Germany
Then, in spite of the Emper"r's really OBJ
seQuiOus efforts to concilate Sweden, Den
mark and Greece, those countries have de-
Hberately thrown themselves into Tie arms
OF Russia. b smarcK's wise policy was to
isolate France, but the Emperor William,
in the last two years. has gone long way
toward isolatlng Germany. There is pain
ful impression that the French have really
grown strong Gn impression which is inten-
sifed by the fact that the confidence of the
Germans i9 the invincibility of their army
has been seriously shaken of late, while
their arrogant belief in the sagacity of their
foreign policy has been entirely shattered.
The EmperOr's prestige has utterly de-
parted, for since Bismarck's retirement all
his moves have turned out TO be false ones,
and he has experienced mortifying repulses
from both France and Russia.
BRITISH ART AT CHICAGO.
Sir Frederick Leighton has consented to
act as Chairman OF the Fine Arts Section of
the Royal Commission Society of Arts fer
tbs Chicago Exhibition. This news vii be
received with much qualification in Amer
lea as well as in England. In order to give
SIT Frederick proper official status it will be
proposed to re-eiect him 10 the Vice Presi-
dency of the Society of Arts from which he
retired by rotation a couple of years OF age
1t is much 10 be hoped that English artists
Will seize the opportunity to show the
American people such representative col
lection OF contemporary British art as they
have never before seen. 1t Is stated that
excellent space has been allotted TO our
commission IN the tne-art building. 1t is
generally believed that up 10 this time art
lovers and collectors in America have ac-
corded greater popularity to the French
school of painting than to our own. Thus
1t is all the more important that a good
show should be made by the English art
lists. From the lowest point Of view the
pot-boiling Interest offers 4 remarkably
tine large market. There will also be an
excellent loan collection of the works of de-
ceased masters Of the British school.
THE QUEENS ORGANISE.
The Queen has appointed DR.. Creser, or
ganist of Leeds Parish Church, to be organ
ist in the Chapel Royal of the st. James
Palace and composer to her Majesty in sue
health after sixteen years service. There
were 249 candidates for the post, which is
worth about $3.50 year.
IMPORTING AMERICAN BUFFALoEs.
Pure bred Western buffaloes have arrived
in England from America, and their future
home is to be in the park at Haggerston
Castle. Leland's place in the Northumber-
land. 1t has cost 5000 to buy them and
bring them across the Atlantic. They are
magnificent animals from Nebraska, and
came from the herd Of c. j. Jones, who has
made butfao-raising a specially. These
buffaloes were bred by Judson of Stony
Mountain, Manitoba, whose herd is one of
the last of those remaining in Northwest
Canada. The herd was inspected some time
ago by Lord and Lady Stanley of Preston.
1t is asserted that buffaoes which have
been born and raised in captivity are quite
tame, and if any experiments in crossing
are attempted the results will be watched
with great interest.
