LONDON, Nov. ls.-The completeness
with which the cabinet passed the
clauses of the nome rule bill dealing
with political changes in Ireland has
broken down on facing the financial
question. Mr.. Gladstone displayed his
accustomed tact by Withholding the,
fiscal proposals until this week. The
first the members OF tho cabinet heard
Of them was on Tuesday. when prob
ably majority Of the ministers for the
first time realized that the financial
problem was likely to prove crucial
difficulty Mr.. Gladstone himself has
not ventured to present definite or
detailed solution OF the question, post
poning, with the assent OF his colleagues,
the clauses relating to finance until the
cabinet resumes its sittings in January.
In the meantime the minister most
perplexed over the question is Sir VIM.
Vernon HarcourI, chancellor OF the
eXchequer.
Under Mr.. Gladstone's scheme the
timatcd at an amount which reaches
nearly the whole OF the present rev.
cnue OF about I,00O0O0p pounds. OF this
sum 4,500, 900 pounds are now expended
locally, while 2,500,000 pounds is the
amount OF Ireland's contribution for
imperial purposes. In preparing the
coming budget, Sir William Vernon
Harcourt has 10 encounter notable de-
iicit in the imperial revenue. Ii to the
deficit the loss OF the Irish contribution
is added, it must involve recourse to
increased burdens upon the British
taxpayers.
THE MAuDE ROMANCE
The Associated Press representative
in London has been enabled in an inter
view with Mr.. II, II. Myers; the solic-
itor defending Gwyneth Maude. to OBJ
tnin glimpse into the private history
of the MGude family, which deepene
the interest attached to the cases Of
Gwyneth and her mother.
Mrs. Maude, who was cousin OF the
Mahnrajah of Mysore, was the only
daughter Of an English physician, DR..
Campbell, who was long an attache OF
the English residency in Mysore and
afterward figured in an important otii-
cial position in Afghanistan. DR.. Camp
bell married Mysore princess,
who had an immense fortune,
which fell, on his death, to his
daughter. The daughter married Col.
Maude, and came to England, and her
subsequent history is one of continued
misfortune due to reckless living, She
sauandered various sums in continental
gambling hells and on the English turf.
1t appears that she early separated
from her husband, who, having returns
ed from the army in an impoverished
condition, now conducts, under an as.
sumed name, the business Of a ladies'
tailor at the West End. Related as
Mrs. Maude was to a number of noble
families, her father being scion OF the
Argyle Campbells, she managed for
years after she had consumed
her fortune to lead fashionable
existence on borrowings and credit.
Accommodating debts, she had to
resort to wholesale system OF obtains
ing money by pawning valuables, and
when the crisis finally came there wore
over forty charges pending against her,
in which the hapless daughter was in
volved. A sheritf's writ OF arrest for
contempt OF court was issued against
Mrs. Maude n few days ago. Finding
her friends no longer responsive TO her
appeals for help, she sought relief in
death. Strong and high influences are
now being brought to stop the prose-
cution OF Gwyneth and the efforts are
likely to be successful. Though
brought up in doubtful environments,
Gwyneth is a highly cultured girl of re-
fined manners and extreme suscepti.
bility.
