dorsed rebellion of Irish Protestants
in the event of home rule being grant
ed 10 Ireland, has caused y great SEN
sation. HIS lordship had many weeks
in which to premeditate hls speech as
grand master of the Primrose league,
and Lord Salisbury never says any
thing that is not carefully premedita-
ted. Both liberals aud tories acknowl-
edge that the premier uttered careful
ly chosens entences, intended TO out
line the future as we'll as To define the
past. Lord Salisbury leaves no doubt
that, il the liberals could carry the gen.
eral elections they will pass home rule
measure in the house of commons. The
house of lords will throw out the bill
and demand another appeal to the
country on the ground that the cleo
tors had not been made aware of the
scope and meaning Of the measure.
He also gives 1t to be understood that
the house of lords will remain firm in
this position and will look to the con-
servatives and liberal unionists for sup
port = nd sympathy.
Election or Deadlock.
If the house of lords should be sus-
tanned by the crown and the minority
OF the house of commons then there
would have to be another election
or q deadlock. The crisis would be
serious. not for Ireland alone, but for
Great Britain, and it should be remem-
bered that in the event Of any dis
turbance the army and navy are both
officered by conservatives. Should
matters go peacefully, however,
another general election would be held
and the home rule bill accepted or
rejected. If accepted by the election
of another liberal majority then the
bill would presumably be passed. The
next war to come according to Lord
Salisbury's program is the Ulster
rebellion. That is, in order to
achieve Irish home rule, its
supporters must carry the coming gen.
eral election, then get . home rule bill
through the house Of commons, then
carry another general election, pass the
home rule bill finally. and be prepared
to deaf with rebellion in the province
of Ulster.
EKypts Young Khedive.
A dispatch from Cairo says that
Young Khedive Abbas is proving Q
model monarch. He largely consults
his mother, the beautiful and intelli-
gent Eminh, and he has, it is said, +,
promised her that he will take
only one wife, a. his father
Tewfik did. He 10, however,
in no hurry to get married. Abbas has
ordered that no more eunuchs lshall be
procured for the palace, IS no wishes
to discourage the form of servltude.
The eunuchs already in the palace can
remain, however, a. long A. they live
and desire to remain. Abbas is very
much opposed to slavery, and he has
expressed . wish TO aid in its suppress
sion, especially on the Red sea, where
the worst form of Arab slave trade
fiourlshes. He has admopished the
officers of his army to DO vigilant in
preventing the traffic, and has promised
to reward those who are most success
full. In all matters he 10 under the in
fuence of his mother, who is known
among the European residents of Cairo

Egypt"
spain's Hing Has Fits.
Madrid advices state that the young
king 10 developing a tendency TO fits.
He has already had several fits OF an
epileptc character, and his mother,
Queen Christina, shows the greatest
anxiety about him. The little king
will be 6 years old on the 18th inst,
and it is intended to celebrate his
birthday with mere than usual display.
He has not been allowed SO far to
enter upon serious studies, as the
queen mother thinks II better for his
BRAIN and body to be well strengthened
before he begins TO learn the rudi-
ments. His father. the late King Al
fonso XII, was subject to epileptic fits,
and the same trouble seems TO be de-
vcloped in the child.
King Bumbsrt's Quandary.
Advlces from Rome Rome state that
King Humbert has been put In . seri-
Gus quandary by the resignation of NJ.
Rudlui as it is feared that no other
statesman acceptable to the king and
TO the chambers will accept under ex-
lsting circumstances. The direct cause
of the popular Indignation which was
reflected IN the chamber of deputies
and led to the vote of no confidence IN
the government, was the proposal TO
revive the flour tax.
This would have meant an increase
IN the price of macaroni, which is .
general diet IN southern Italy.

The determination of the Vienna cab
men and coschm men to strike and leave
the city without conveyance during
the musical and theatrical exhibition Is
