| OF all. Asked abous dissolution, he said that
| the only thing he could tell inouirers was that
under the Septennial act this Parliament will

The House of Commons is working steadily at
supply and fully expects to adjourn the first
week in August, though the Irish estimates have
still TO be- discussed, and Mr lIealy has returned
in mood which led him on Thursday to insult
the Duchess of Fife. The House groaned and the
Chairman rebuked Mr.. Healy; but nothing will
