He saw the Queen on July rs. and accepted

Osborne for q farewell audience.
There has been great deal OF talk as to
the probability that another general election Is
near. and there is no doubt that tho Conserva-
tive party organizations are actively prepar-
ing for such an event next yenr. The old Par
liamentary hands on the Conservative benches
are. however. very skeptical upon the point.
Apart from tho fact that the unexpected al
ways happens In the House Of Commons,
there are special circumstances in the present
case which Justify tho beliofthat neither party
will be particularly anxious for q fresh appeal
to the constituencies. A number Of both the
Conservative and Unionist supporters Kept
their seats BY working at . pressure almost
without precedent in tho records Of election
eering effort, and these members freely
admit that they distrust their own CO.
pacity to 60 through similar struggle
and mako similar sacrifices at the end
Of another few months. Moro than one seat
was kept for Conservative government solely
by the personal influence OF the sitting men,

on the Liberal side. but the chances Of an
other general election next year depend on
the action not OF the Liberals. but OF the
Unionist Opposition. Another general cleo

Home Rule BILL but 1t may be trusted very
greatly to affect their m ethods Of opposition.
II they cannot defeat the measure by fair
means they will hesitate to adopt policy OF
obstruction which would compel an appeal to
the country which In turn might provo dis
astrous to their own party.
1t Is quite true that the leaders still talk Of
fighting tho bill by every means consonant
with parliam entary rules and they will carry
the enthusiasts among their followers with
them: but not all the rank and file. either of
| the Conservatives or tho Unionists are enthu-
siastic. Moreover. many Tories speak openly
OF giving the Liberals sufficient time to ex-
pand their policy. and let the country have
some experience Of 1t before forcing division.
A considerable section Of the Unionists prog
nosticate trouble abroad which Mr.. Gladstone
| will be unable to deal with.
Mr. Gladstone has frightened UP with the
| excitement OF the week. but 1t was evident
| after his great speech that he is no longer able
to stand the strain Of parliamentary work. He
went away that night to the country. and the
rest seems to have greatly benefited him. The
next few days. however. will be an anxious
time for his family and friends.
Lord Francis George Godolphin Osborn had
q bad quarter OF an hour at the hands Of Mr..
Justice Chitty yesterday. This representative
| OF the nobility brought an action against the
Aaron's Reef Company to rescind his contract
to take 400 shares. evidently because he was
not app ointed director. In Diminishing the
| action Justice Chitty showed not only that the
| Aaron's Reef scheme was disgraceful to all
concerned In It, but that the plaintiff had dur
ing few years become director Of no less
than fifteen limited" companies. many Of
| which seemed to come within his own denni-
ton OF sham. It is hiKh-sounding names
| like that Of this lord that mislead the unwary
in these matters. The small English capitalist
dearly loves lord or NJ. P. as director. and
with the name Of one or the other on pros-
pectus his gulliblity knows no limit but the
length Of his purse.
