LONDON. Nov. 6.-The Foreign Office
awaits a response from Peking to the ulti-
matum demanding the adoption of measures
to punish the leaders in the recent outrages.
Sir John Walsham, the British Minister to
China, has been directed to give the Chinese
Government until the end of the month to
reply, when. failing satisfaction, the com-
bined foreign fleet will seize Shanghai and
the other treaty ports on the Yang-tse-
Kiang. and the powers will take control of
the customs of each port until the matter in
dispute is arranged. The British Admiral,
now at Uagazki, two days sailing distance
from Shanghai. has been warned to hold the
squadron in readiness.
GLADsToNE's DIPLOMACY.
The authorized explanation sent to the
Gladstonian papers anent the Liberal lead
ers' share in the Boulogne negotiations will
only serve to confirm the suspicion that
Gadstone's old parliamentary hand has
been once more working in darkness in try
ing 10 win the adhesion of solid Irish
party while keeping the terms of the bar
gain secret. 0'Brien's statements are de-
clared by the Liberal leaders 10 be absurd
mis- representations. 1t is absolutely denied
that the Liberal leaders gave Mccarthy or
any other negotiator any assurance as a
basis for secret covenant. These official
denials. however, are so wrapped up in
bubbles as to be deprived of the force in
herent to direct and honest contradiction.
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE LEADERS.
a cl,4 .bot I,ta
and Morley had secret communications with
O'Brien, Dillon and Mccarthy during the
Bouogne negotiations. O'Brien holds
some of these communications, which Har-
rington and Redmond challenge him to
publish. 1t is not probable, however, that
O'Brien will disclose them as long as his
alliance with the Liberals exists. The widow
Of Parnell has other of these communi-
cations, and it is expected that they will
come TO light as soon US her recovery ena-
ables her to take part in the defense of
Parnell and strike Ills enemies. The ext
gences Of the position are keenly felt by
the Liberals. and confirm the general
party demand that Gladstone shall at the
earliest opportunity make a clear statement
of his revised home rule scheme. The
Unionists revel in personal criticisms of the
leaders ON each side in the Cork election
contest
ANOTHER ANTAGONIST FOR HEALY.
MIR. T. M. Healy has got TO face worse
encounter than the one with Mr.. McDer-
mott. Henry Harrison, member Of Parlia-
ment for Tipperary. has warned Healy that
if he repeated the insulting illusions to
Mrs. Parnell he would take the law into his
own hands and punish him. Healy. in re.
peatiug the references to Mrs. Parnell,
added that he would not mince words be-
cause she had found protection in Harrison.
Harrison, who is OF athletic build, will bide
his time to get at Healy, who is now con-
stanty protected by the police.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
The Conservative press announce that
the labor candidates In the municipal cleo
tions everywhere have been defeated. An
analysis of the returns, on the contrary
shows that the labor men have carried thirty
seats in England. The general results favor
the Radicals. The election has been fought
on party lines chiefly and forecasts Il triumph
for the GadstoniaDs in the coming Parla-
mentary elections.
A DUCAL RESIDENCE.
st. James Palace has been retitted as a
residence for the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale at the expense of the Treasury
The cost greatly exceeds the estimate and
will cause a row in Parliament.
Earl Duffer;n's appointment as Warden of
the Clnque Ports Is viewed as n bribe TO
cause him to adhere to the Conservatives.
