Events in Parliament.

THE RESURGENT POWER OF SIR dixie

LONDON, July 18.-The Associated Press
correspondent in interviews to-day with
several prominent Liberals found general
concurrence Of opinion that the course of
events will be as predicted in the dis
patches last evening. Some Liberals
venture to forecast the exact dates
of the different events. Thus the
momentous division on the amendment
ousting the Government is set down for
August 10, the resignation OF Lord Sails
bury for August 20 and the adjournment of
Parliament for August %, period of one
month being occupied in the reelection of
Ministers and the formation Of the Cabinet,
the House formally reassembling at the end
of September and the real work beginning
about the end of January.
Events then, it is thought, will absolutely
depend upon the prudence of the Irish
members. If they insist upon the imme-
diate precedence of the home rule bill they
will play into the hands of the Conserva-
tives, who want the earliest possible re-
appeal to the country, having full conf
dence that they will obtain better re-
suits at a re-contest The Conserva-
tive executive has already con-
voked meetings of the London elector-
al agents to discuss the causes of the loss of
twelve metropolitan seats and the pro-
vincial agents will be summoned here alter
the London agents conference. If the Irish
support MI. Gladstone the new Government
can rely upon two sessions of Office before
being obliged to dissolve Parliament.
Foreshadows of the Policy.
Herbert Gladstone, speaking at Buxton,
foreshadowed as the best conrse policy e1-
actly similar to that referred to in these
of Friday, namely, that the
"home rule" bill be postponed for year,
and that the zone man one vote" bill be
proceeded with, together with measures for
q further democratizing of the rural vote.
He declared that county Government
bill, including parish councils, compulsory
allotments, registration reform and "one
man one vote" provisions must pass before
the Liberals went to the country again.
Herbert claimed that the redistribution Of
seats could be postponed, overlooking the
inevitable rejection by the House of Lords
Of any bill aboiishing plural voting not ac-
by measure for redistribution
of seats and reducing the disproporlionate
Irish vote.
The sum of to-night's position is that the
Liberal meaning to play for two or three
sessions before dissolving Parliament, will
not rush the "home rule" bill If con-
strained to give it precedence they will not
accept its rejection by the House of Lords
as necessitating an immediate dissolution,
but will proceed with measures tending to
strengthen the Liberal vote throughou the
a No Confidence Amendment.
Mr.. Gladstone will move a simple ''no
amendment to the address in
stead of one alleging specific reasons and
will thus be enabled to limit the scope of
the declarations of his own policy. He has,
as precedents, the facts that in 1841 the
Melbourne Ministry was thrown out on
vote of mo confidence" and in 1859 the
present Duke of Devonshire's ''no conf
dence' amendment turned on the Derby
Disraeli Government.
A most striking indication of the re-
surgent power of Sir Charles Dixie is seen
in the manner of his reception at demon
stration Of $4,000 miners at Derby to-day.
A number of members of the House of
Commons were on the platform.
Mr.. Bayley, M. p, who presided,
maintained that the working classes would
reinstate Sir Charles Dixie in the i'm
portant position which he formerly held in
Parliament, and the assemblage gave Sir
Charles an ovation when he told them
what they liked to hear in regard to eight
hours, employers liability, the workmen's
state and other subjects
The Parsere community of India, chiefly
Bombay merchants, has sent G28, 900
to Mr. Naoroji, member elect for
the central Finsbury district of London as
defender of Indian interests in Parliament.
To this amount an Indian ruling prince
adds IL, 600 pounds.
