WASHINGTON, July 17.-Everybody is
anxious to get away from the Capital, and
tao common expectation is that the ses-
sion will end next Saturday or the fol-
lowing Monday. The members will
make last desperate effort to secure ac-
ton on their tavOrite bills, but in both
Houses everything must give way to the
appropriation bills, for the word has gone
out that the session viii end as soon rs
they are disposed Of.
The sundry civil, Notifications and
general deficiency appropriation bills re-
main to be acted on. The only serious
controversy looked for is in connection
with the Worlds Fair appropriations in
tie sundry civil bill.
In the intervals between consideration
OF the conference reports the Senate will
resort to the calendar, and friends of the
anti-oPtion bill ptend to try to pass or at
least debate the measure.
Tomorrow being suspension day in
the House, an effort will be made to call
up from the Committee on Merchants
and Marines the bill to repeal the present
ship subsidy law An attempt to pass the
bill under suspension of the rules will
find general support on the Democratic
side. Tuesday the Senate Worlds Fair
amendments to the sundry civil bill will
be considered.
Probably the report of the Pension
Office Investigating Committee will be
made special order for Wednesday.
Action on the conference reports will
take up a considerable portion of the
week, and after the date is fixed the last
day Of the session will be devoted to CON
ference reports, and the passage of meas
Uros under suspension OF the rules.

LONDON, July l7.-All the Cabinet Min
listers are summoned 10 London for
Thursday next Salisbury went to Wind
son yesterday for a conference with her
majesty, and returned to London this
evening. 1t is expected some develop
ments Of unwonted character are impend-
ing. 1t is stated section of the Cabi-
net want Salisbury to resign forthwith,
in order to force Gladstone to meet the
House of Commons with full disclosure
of his home rule and general policy, and
so precipitate crisis. The Liberal lead
ers are prepared to take Office imme-
diately or wait the defeat of the Govern
ment on the amendment to the address.
No tactics the present Government will
adopt can force the hand of Gladstone. A
conference Of Gladstone and his col
leagues is expected to take place Thurs
day. Amongst the troubles menacing
the Government is the habit the Irish
members have or irregular attendance.
If the practice is continued, the absence
Of some forty Irish members will render
the Government liable to defeat at any
moment.
If American subscriptions freely con-
tinue during the final crisis, the home
rule party will be wonderfully heartened
and strengthened.
The resources of the Unionists are in
eXhaustible as compared with those Of
the Liberals, though it is learned that
assurances have been obtained by the
Liberal executives that wealthy Glad
stonians are ready to respond to de-
mands.
Regarding the coming crisis in Parlia-
ment, month must elapse before the
actual business of the House begins. If
this is followed by a change of Govern
ment, Gladstone may take forthwith
from the Ministry numbers which may
require re- election. The Liberals thus
calculate that it will be October before
the new Government can be called upon
to present to Parliament it's programme
It is probable Gladstone will not begin
the work of legislation in the winter ses-
sion, but will postpone it until next
spring.
The number of members thus far re-
turned is 652, leaving eighteen yet unde-
cided. The Opposition combined num-
bers 342 and the Unionists 80. Of the
eighteen seats yet unreturned, seven are
Irish and six British in the late Parlia-
ment, nine held by the Opposition and
five by the Unionists. AS changes are
unlikely, the new Parliament will con-
sist of 800 Gladstonians and 3I5 Unionists.
