THE PARIS FUND DEADLOCK REMAINS

funeral of Lord Teunyson Wednesday il
order that he might attend the Newmarke
races, is provoking considerable comment
His action is especially dilated upon by
certain Radical journals, which appear
anxious to make sensation similar to thai
caused bv the baecarat scandal.
The Prince of Wales, accompanied by tine
Duke of Cambridge, visited Newmarket
Wednesday and saw the race for the Care
witch stakes. He was made the object of a
popular ovation when his horse, Virgil, won
the stand Nursery plate, a handicap of 200
sovereigns. This race Immediately pre-
ceded the one for the Czarewitch stakes.
His absence from Westminster Abbey
would have been less remarked upon but
for the fact that not a single royal person.
age was present at the funeral, though, as
tie defenders of the royal family strongly
emphasize, they were represented by two
generals and two colonels, besides numer-
Gus splendid wreaths.
The Public Lenient With the Prince.
Since the Tranby Croft affair public opin-
ion has been very sensitive in regard to the
conduct of the Prince of Wales, but the pub
Princes present action. The efforts being
made to arouse feeling against him will fall
fiat. 1t is generally felt that his partiality
for the lighter side of national life is SO
marked that to show deep regret over the
death of Lord Tennvson would be mere
hypocrisy. Those agitating against his ab-
sence, however, contend that his presence
was necessary, not as an expression OF his
own personal feeling, but SIS the next head
OF the nation assisting at national event.
The Chronicle SAYS ii is true the Prince
went where the mass of the people went
Tennyson was never the peoples poet, but
the point is whether in the hearts of the
people they really prefer Prince who can
not postpone days shooting or racing in
order to mark great epoch in his mothers
reign. The Radical journals, while dilating
upon the Princes absence, discreetly omit,
as far as possible, all mention of Mr.. Glad
stones absence
Excuses for Gladstone Untenable.
His plea of pressure of work and the
feeble excuse volunteered by his support
ers, OF the danger of catching serious cold
in Westminster Abbey are not considered
quite satisfactory. On the contrary, it is
suspected that some other reason prompted
his refusal to attend the services. AS he is
accustomed to addressing meetings in the
open air bareheaded, the danger of catching
cold in the abbey wss very remote.
The Prince of Wales to-day went to Lady
Brooke's country seat, Eaton Lodge, Dun
NOW, where he will remain until Monday.
He will before the end of the month make
his first appearance in public since the
death of the Duke of Clarence and Avon
dale. He will open the new wing of the
hospital at Paddington.
The defeat yesterday of Mr. Lawson, the
Gladstonian who contested the Cirencester
division of Gloucestershire with Colonel
Master, Conservative, is keenly felt by the
Liberals, " no, though they expected tough
fight, hoped to retain the seat This is the
first loss the Liberals have sustained since
the general election.
1t Puts Heart Into the Tory Party.
Following their reduced majorities in the
by-elections in Leeds and Bedfordshire, it
is certain to make a marked impression on
the public while it will stimulate the Con-
servatives to contest every election where
there is the smallest chance for victory
The local Liberals refused to believe that
they were defeated. They insisted upon a
recount, which was made during a scene of
feverish excitement.
The Conservatives were overioyed when
the result was announced. They marched
in professions about the town, drawing
Colonel Master in his carriage. The sue
cess of the Conservatives was largely due to
the popularity of Colonel Master. Mr..
Lawson was practically a stranger in the
constituency. He was largely assisted in
his campaign by his wife.
A movement is on foot among cattle
breeders to promote bill providing for the
quarantining of all foreign live stock ex-
cept such as are intended for slaughter.
The movement is chiefly directed against
the admission of American store cattle.
The Live Stock Journal an influential organ,
strongly supports the movement.
The Same Plan Used Against Holland.
The paper considers to be moderate the
estimate that from 100, 600 to 150 600 head
of cattle would be imported if the present
restrictions were removed; but even that
number would infiict heavy blow upon
the British breeders. 1t urges the Govern
ment to take the same course in regard to
America as it adopted towards Holland
when three months were allowed to elapse
before applications to admit cattle to Great
Britain were granted.
The proposal made by the Parnellites that |
the Paris fund be placed in the hands of a |
committee OF three members from each Sec |
tion OF the Irish Parliamentary party, |
which, it was thought, would be accepted |
by the McCarthyites, in view of the speeches |
made Dy prominent members of the section |
favoring it, has fallen to the ground owing
to the action of the Parnellites in insisting
that claim be admitted of charges, which
consist of law costs and debts of the National
League amounting to over $40, ,0O0 The
McCarthyites insist that the claims of the
evicted tenants be the first charge on the
fund. Neither SIDE seems disposed to Weld
In this matter, and thus the long deadlock
continues.
A Last Kick Against the New Mayor.
Londoners who oppose Mr.. Knill's cleo
tion as Lord Mayor on the ground that he
is Catholic have decided to make a final
attempt 10 prevent his assuming the office.
The Anti-Popery Association has prepared
q petition to the Queen, praying her to re-
fuse to confirm the selection of Mr.. Knill.
on the ground that he has publicly declared
that he owes first allegiance to the Pope
There is not the slightest chance of the
petition being granted, and the petitioners
will probably receive q well-merited snub
A manifesto has been issued, calling upon
workmen out of employment TO march in
behind the Lord Mayors show
on November 8, and afterward to force
way into the Trafalgar Square for the pur-
pose of holding meeting there to give
formal expression to a demand for work or
bread
