LONDON. June 4.-Parliament has adjourned
until Thursday next When the House OF Com.
mons reassembles Mr.. Balfour will ask for the
whole time OF the House for Government bust
ness. and the request will be granted. as every
body will be anxious to wind up the session as
quickly as possible. or the imposing array OF
bills mentioned in tho Queens speech at the
opening Of tho session scarcely any have
mado real progress. Tho Clergy DscipliH9 bill
has been passed. and tho Small Holdings bill
has safely reached the House OF Lords. and Will
get through all right The fate OF the Irish
Education bill remains In suspense. but
the Irish Local Government bill and other
; measures have been dropped. BY sitting late
and working hard the House OF Commons will
be able to dispose of tho Supply bill and other
necessary business in about fortnights and
Parliament will be dissolved on or about June
%. tho date fixed by THE Sun quite six months
ago. when everybody else was talking about
an autumn dissolution or o general election
In 1893.
Mr.. Gladstone will probably come to town
on noxt Thursday for a few days. but three
fourths Of tho members will remain In tho
country. looking after their election interests.
Joseph Chamberlain will opcn the campaign
IN Birmingham next week. His recollection Is
assured. thanks to the personal devotion OF
tho citizens among whom he has lived and
worked for thirty years past; but more than
half his party will find thomselve without
seats in the new Parliament. for nothing Is
more certain in connection with the coming
struggle than that tho chief victories Of the
. Home Rulers in the British constituencies will
be gained at the expense OF the mongrel group
calling itself Liberal Unionist and acknowl-
edeing the dual leadership Of the Duke Of Dew
onshire and Joseph Chamberlain.
Mr.. Gladstone will not tako the field until
Parliament has been dissolved. He will pro-
coed direct to Edinburgh. and forthwith COM
mence an oratorical campaign Of about. ten
days which cannot fail to have immense inilu-
ence upon the country. II all tho omens be
not falsfled. he will be Prime Minister OF Eng
land in about six weeks from now. He will be
the first English statesman who has been
Premier four timos. That he will attain that
unique distinction Is evidently the belief Of
Queen Victoria. one Of the shrewd-
est political observers Of this country.

Majesty is entitled to some praise for her con-
sideration She remained at Balmoral during
the crisis in 1886. and Lord Salisbury had to
undertake the journey. although he was in
poor health at the time.
Prince Ferdinand OF Bulgaria has been in
London several days this week. and his move
ments have been closely watched by agents Of
the Russian and French embassies. The
Prince has not been received here with the
formal honors due to the reigning sovereign.
but his reception unofilcialy has been more
than cordial. On last Tuesday. as the world
only knows to-day. he had long private in
terview with Lord Salisbury. and on Sunday
he will start on visit to the Queen at Bal
moral. 1t Is almost certain that the young
man is here on matrimonial business

and stood pledged to his constituents to en-

generally known that three years ago q
select committee Of the House Of Commons
actually reported in favor OF regulations
at British ports similar to those enforced at
New York. and 1t is strange that the bill. basod
upon the committce's recommendation. was
not introduced and passed long ago. in view
OF tho circumstance that it would havo been
extremely popular. THE Sun reporter
