With Gladstone's return the tactics of
the opposition in parliament changed.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt's policy of
trying. to force dissolution by every de-
vice of worry and obstruction has been
abandoned. 1t is now known that
Gladstone hurried back owing to Har-
courts not accepting hrs instructions to
refrain from appearing desirous to has
ten action on the part of the govern
ment. Feeling secure upon the result
of an appeal to the country, Gladstone
had advised his colleagues to give the
ministers rope and let the electorate be
impressed with the spectacle OF the Con-
servative regime expiring by gradual
decomposition. He looks upon the
Irish bill as containing some proposals
that can ultimately be embodied in his
home rule scheme.
In accordance with the clue given by
Gladstone. the Liberals will allow Bal
four's bill larger consideration, treat
ing it with such courteous contempt as
q strong party can afford to what it
is determined shall be ultimately futile.
Before Easter Gladstone proposes to
ask the government to declare its inten-
tions in regard to the duration of parla-
ment.
A TORY CAVE.
Lord Randolph Churchill forms
Tory "cave" against several proposals
of the Irish local government bill, es-
pecially the clauses empowering Judges
to suspend county councils. If he sue
ceeds in forming q group depriving the
government of fifteen votes, the bill will
be defeated and the movement thus
made opportune for the government to
dissolve parliament.
GLADsToNE's RENEWED YOUTH.
Gladstone seems to have been reju-
venated by his spjourn in the south of
France. Alert and spYi9htly in gait, he
looks . healthy man Of so. He tells his
friends he is wonder to himself.
FOSTERS PRESENCE IN LONDON.
The presence in London of Foster, sec.
retary of the treasury Of the United
States, is daily attracting more attention
from the journalistic and social worlds.
He steadily refuses to accept social in.
vitations on the ground of poor health.
The ready access he gives to all comers
to his reception rooms in the Hotel
Metropole amazes the people here, who
are accustomed to seeing statesmen
environed by q wall of oficialism.
the Bank of England and the mint, and
to ZOO thu xu0rHtnu of tho syrank O. AL
houses. In spite of his assurances of
being unconcerned in the currency
question, he has probably met Goschen
in an unofficial interview.
SHIPMENTS OF PEDIGREE STOCK.
The American treasury ruling with
reference to the importation of pedigree
stock is hurrying immediate shipments.
The live stock journals concur in the
opinion that the arrangements in Great
Britain will be much Influenced; that
developments will be checked, and that
seeking closer union with the colonies
must be the policy of the future.
ROYALTY VISITING THE RIVIERA.
The prince and princess of Wales visit
at Windsor Sunday, and start with the
family Tuesday for the Riviera. The
queen and Princess Beatrice are at
Hyeres, the duke and duchess of Teck
and Princess May at Lady Wolverton's

i'll with neuralgia, but is now recover

A STROKE OF BRITISH DIPLOMACY.
The government of India has con-
cluded a treaty with China as suzerain
of Thibet, providing for the formation
of British marts within Thibet. Under
the treaty caravans will be allowed to
pass freely via the Slkkim passes in the
Thibet valleys, and customs stations
will be created. The treaty is consid-
cred happy stroke of British diplo-
macy, equal to the capture of the trade
of these districts, which was hitherto
closed to commerce.
