PETROLEUM TOLLS In SEUZ CANAL

LONDON, June 3.-The last session of
the present Parliament virtually closed to-
day. The desire of section of the Cabinet,
strongly supported by Mr. Chamberlain
and the Unionist party, to pass the Irish
local government bill so that they would be
able to go before the constituencies with
their Irish pledges redeemed, has failed to
prevail against electoral exigencies.
The Radicals have decided not to oppose
the passing of the estimates, which will be
voted in the desultory fashion in which
millions are usually voted At the fag end of
session. The Queen will curtail her stay
atBalmoral and will return to Windsor June
% in order to avoid the necessity of the
Ministers travelling to Scotland to tender
their resignation.
The formalities of the dissolution of Par
Lament are certain TO occur before June %,
and the electoral contest has already CON-
menced. The date of the opening of Mr..
Glsdstone's Midlothian campaign is not yet
fixed. His idea of addressing small meet
ings from village to village has been aban-
doned, and, instead, he will address three
great meetings-one at Edinburgh, another
at West Calder and the third at Dalkeith.
GIadstone's Eyesight and Hearing Fail.
Mr.. Gladstone is in capital health, but a
great speech nowadays leaves him almost
prostrated In his letter to the Trades
Council, appointing June 16 for an inter-
view, Mr. Gladstone for the first time COM
plains of deafness, and he asks that the
deputation sent to him be few in number.
His eyesight, too, seems to be failing, for
recently he had to ask Mr.. Morley to read
document for him in Parliament. Mr..
Gladstone's face-about on the eight hour
question receives scathing treatment in the
columns of the Conservative papers.
The Liberal election funds, already
swollen by large contributions from wealthy
Liberals desirous of political promotion,
have received an unexpected accession in
the labor interest. The contribution came
indirectly from Andrew Carnegie, the
American iron manufacturer, who thus puts
10 practical test his principle that wealth
should be used for the benefit of the peo-
which of the genuine labor candidates are
entitled to the benefit.
The Irish End of the Campaign.
The McCarthyites are now completing
their election programme. The whole of
tllG OO SlIIlLS luc"UeIs VIII bcth d Ie-cltC-
tion, and all of the Parnellite seats will be
contested by McCarthyites. The amount of
the American donations to the election
funds will largely determine the fate of the
Parnellites. General Collins, the Ameri- |
can delegate, left London for Dublin with |
O'Connor to endeavor to promote a recon- |
ciliation between the two Irish factions, but |
1t is not likely that he will succeed
