Press Opinions.

LONDON, August 12.-The Times sayss
''It is party victory on party grounds
and to be employed for party objects.
No government that has remained in Of
flee for six years has enjoyed the same
measure of success as the government
just defeated. Blunders and disasters
there are none to lay to the charge of the
Unionist ministry.
TT is impossible to assume that the
vote of mo confidence in Salisbury is
equivalent to declaration of confidence
in Gladstone. When the government
meets Parliament in January it may turn
out on the first trial of strength that
Gladstone never had real majority and
never possessed the confidence of the
House at all. The Gladstonian's task is
as hopeless as that of squaring the circle.
The curse of separation is upon them.
They have the fear of the malady of
disintegration, against which the Union
lists are secure"
The News says: "The government of
pledge-breaking coercionists is virtually
dead 1t is noticeable that the whole of
Mr.. Chamberlain's remarks were adj
dressed TO The Liberals. IIdC does nOU
look as if he thought the Tories had any
future OF he anything to gain by going
over to them"
LONDON, August 12.-The St. James
Gazette, Conservative under the cap
tion of ''Leaping Into Darkness says:
s'The government was elected by a ma
jority simply going it blind for the grand
old man and half understood idea. If
the disaster results in increased taxation,
malignant chickering's with France, dis
graceful retreat from Egypt, an open
breach with Russia in Central Asia, and
renewed outrages and rioting in Ireland
the country has itself to thank.
LONDON, August 12.-The Pail Mall
Gazette GiberaD says: 'tMr. Glad
stones triumph is Mr.. Parnelps also.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Parnell had not
even entered Parliament. Before he
died he had converted nine out of ten
Irishmen against revolutionary meth
ods. The effect of the division is irrevo-
cable. Difficulties and delays in Home
Rule there may be, but its final adoption
is now inevitable"

journal, after remarking that the ma
iority against the Salisbury government
is ten more than that which rejected
home rule, says: 1t is more than a re-
versal of the decision which handed Ire
land over to the rule of coercionists. The
effect of the verdict can never be I'M
done. No obstruction from the peers,
no ventilation of constitutional conun-
drums can ever destroy the moral OF
practical effect of the condemnation of
the union by the parliament which set
the act of union up. Pitts work must
be amended. Insofar as it was work
for imperial supremacy it may stand, but
insofar as it unnecessarily suppressed
the national rights of Ireland it must
be undone.
Mr.. Chamberlain's argument against
the creation of a home rule ministry was
solely an argument forEMr. Redmond.
The Irish people were not deluded into
the pursuit of will-o-the wisp schemes
by Mr.. Parnell, and will withstand the
much less magnetic witchery of Mr..
Redmond. They have shown how they
can face a foe, and will now show how
they can back the friend of home rule.
The government shall have fair play.

DETROIT, Mich, May 19.-An afternoon

Secretary Blaine into the Presidential
race. AS soon as Gen. Clarkson reaches
New York, he will proceed directly 10
Washington, where a secret conference
will be held with Secretary Blaine, and an
effort viii be made TO have him consent to
make the run. The paper adds:
In case Blaine consents TO be nominated
as a Presidential candidate, Alger will be
pushed for second place. This was also
decided az last nights conference. IN case
nothing will induce Secretary Blaine TO re-
scind his determination not to become a
Presidential candidate, Alger will be
pushed for the head of the ticket by the
entire Harrison contingent all over the
country. He will then have behind him
such leaders as ClarksOn, Quay, Platt,
Thurston. Langston and Fassett, with all
that that implies.
Chairman ClarksOu left for New York

LONDON, May l0.-Advlces received
here from Mauritus, state that hurri-
cane unprecedented In its violence
passed over that island on April 29th,
causing enormous damage 70 shipping.
A majority OF the vessels at the island
were blown ashore. The western bali
OF Port Louis, the Capital, was devasta-
ted. Houses were blown down. gigan-
tic trees were uprooted and tina. part OF
the town was about wiped out OF exist
ence.
The loss OF life is appalling. A large
number of persons were caught in tho
falling houses and crushed 70 death.
while others lost their lives by being
struck by flying debris while they were
seeking places OF safety. The exact
number OF dead is not known. Every
effort is being made by the authorities
TO alleviate the suffering that has been
caused by the disaster The Governor
has issued orders for military tents 10
be distributed TO shelter the homeless,
and food is being issued TO those who
have lost everything by the storm.
Half OF the crops OF sugar, rice, cof-
fee and pepper have been utterly ruiued
and the loss in this direction is extreme-
ly heavy. Mauritus. or as IL Is some
times called, Isle OF France. has always
been noted for its violent and destruc-

destructivness ana hitherto known.
The island lies in the Indian Ocean
and is well known as the scene OF the

In that story the author describes with
great minuteness terrible hurricane
that passed over the island during
which Paul and Virginia lost their lives.
But the horror OF that scene was far ez-
celled by this last death-csrrying wind
that has thrown the whole island into
mourning.
1t is not in the power OF words TO de-
scribe the scene. The lowering skies
and falling barometers gave warning OF
the approach OF the storm. Taking
warning from previous gales everything
was done 10 minimize the threatened
damage, but when at last the gale burst
all the precautions proved OF no avail.
