FEMALE SUFFRAGE
To Be Agitated in the Coming Elec-
toral Reforms
NOT MET WITH GREAT FAVOR.
Rare Event in Parliamentary Afair-A Lord
Suspended for Cranky ActiOn-krs 0Shsas
Correspondence With Gladstone
The Premier Nothing
10 Fear.

[Copwiost6y Nso York associated Press,l
LONDON, July 17.-Nothing has re-
Gently excited the inner Conservative
circles, as much as Lord Salisbury's
declk kration that female suffrage ought
to form part OF the coming electoral re-
forms. The election agents OF intend
ing candidates besiege the executive OF
the Conservative Association, demand
ing to know whether this is an essen-
tial part of the government programme.
A host of members OF the House OF
Commons have warned the execu-
tive that female vote plank
would not be accepted by an
influential section Of the party without
a protest. The Premier has hong been
known TO be inclined TO concede the
right of suffrage TO women as probable
counterpoise to the democratic tendency
to the principle of manhood suitrages,
but now for the first time he has tried
10 commit the party TO this momentous
change of franchise. The council OF the
Conservative association, at an informal
meeting to-day, without passing reso-
luton TO that effect, decided TO intimate
to Lord Salisbury that the party was so
divided on the question that IL would be
unwise TO recognize IL rs Conservative
principle.
The suspension OF peer, rare event
in the upper house OF Parliament,
occurred tonight In the case Of erratic
Lord Denman, the successor OF the
illustrious Judge Denman; but Inherit
ing little OF Ais fathers powers.
Lord Denman had given notice OF q
motion for return OF the number OF
days on which the late Lord Granville
had attended the house and also the
days on which he, himself, attended
during Lord Granville's life time.
Whether the motion was In
spired by sheer crankiness or
by malice, Lord Denman was not al
lowed to explain. He was about to rise
10 speak, when Lord Salisbury interpos-
ing said that the motion could only be
described as unseemly; he might use a
stronger word, but he preferred not 10
discuss the motion; he would simply
meve that Lord Denman should not be
heard during the remainder Of the ses-
sion. Lord Kimberly concurred and
(, Lord Saiispufy's motion was agreed TO
in silence. Lord Denman looked dag
gers at Lord Salisbury, with whom he
has an old feud, once nearly culmlnat-
ing In personal violence.
Sensational rumors that Mrs. Parnell
has In her dossesslon compromising cor
respondence with Mr.. Gladstone, which
she obtained while she was go-be-
tween between Mr. Parnell and the Lib
eral lead er, show basis OF trnth. Dur
Llng the period when Mr.. ParnelI was In
ihilmainham jail Mrs. O'Shea was a busy
kmedium and was in constant communi-
cation with Mr.. Chamberlain. Mr..
Morley and others, but never
with Mr.. Gladstone. II Mr.
Parnell chooses to publish these letters,
they will disclose chiefly the keen politl-
cal craft of Mrs. 0'Shea and the entire
Inconsistencies OF the Liberals that
her relations with Mr. ParneIl were
other than pure.
There is a court report current that
the Queen has written 10 the King OF
Roumania advising him TO let the love
episode OF the Crown Prince with
Helena Vacaresco, take It's natural
course, and reminding him OF the mar
riages OF affection In the English Royal
family.
