LoNpoy. November 1s.-The COM
placence with which the cabinet passed
the clauses OF the home rule bill deal
ing with political changes In Ireland
has broken dbwn on facing the financial
question. Mr.. Gladstone displayed bis
accustomed tact by withholding the
fiscal proposals until this week. The
first members of the cabinet heard OF
them was onl Tuesday, When probably a
majority of the ministers for the first
time realized that the financial
problem was likely TO prove a crucial
difficulty. MI. Gladstone himself has
not venGuIed to present a 1etnite or de-
tailed solution Of the question, postpon-
ing, with the assent ofshis colleagues,
the clauses relating to finance until the
cabinet resumes its sittiDgs In Janu-
airy. In the meantime the minister
most perplexed over the question is Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, chancellor
of the exchequer. Under Mr.. Glad
stones scheme the cost OF administra-
ton in ireland is estimated at an
amount which reaches nearly the whole
OF the present revenue OF about 81, 000,-
600.
OF this sum Ga, 500, 900 is now expend
ed locally while G2,500,000 is the
amount OF Ireland's contribution for
imperial purposes. In preparing the
coming budget, Sir VIM. Vernon Har-
court has to encounter notable deficit
in the imperial revenue. II TO this
deficit the loss OF the Irish contribution
be added il must involve recourse TO
increased burdens upon the British tax
payers.
The Associated Press representative
In London has been enabled In an inter
view with Mr.. II. III. Myers. the solicit
tor defending Gywneth Maude 10 OBJ
tain glimpse into the private
history OF the Maude family which
deepeas the interest attached 10 the
cases OF Gy wneth and her mother. Mrs.
Maude, who was cousin OF the Maha-
rajah OF Mysore, was the only daughter
OF an English physician, DIR. Campbell,
who was long an attacbe OF the English
resldency 10 Mysore and afterward fig
ured in an important official position 10
Afghanistan.
DIR. Campbell married Mysore Prln-
cess who had an immense fortune. which
fell, on his death. 20 his daughter. The
daughter married Col. Maude, who came
TO England, and her subsequent history
Is one OF continued misfortune, due to
reckless living. She squandered va
riOus sums In continental gambling
bells and on the English turf. 1t ap-
pears that she early separated from her
husband who, having returned from
the army in an impoverished condition,
now conducts, under an assumed name,
the business OF ladies' tailor at the
J West End.
Related as Mrs. Maude was to num-
Der OF noble families, her father being
a scion Of the Argyle Campbells, she
managed for years after she mad con-
sumed her fortune 10 lead fashiona-
BILE existence on borrowings and credit.
Accommodating debts, she had TO resort
TO a wholesale system OF obtaining
money by pawning vaIuables, and when
the crisis finally came there were over
40 charges pending against her, In
which the hapless daughter was In
volved.
A sherlff's writ of arrest for contempt
of court was issued against Mrs Mande
a few days ago. Finding her friends no
longer responsive 20 her appeals for
help. she sought TO judge 10 death.
Strong and high influences are now
being brought TO stop the prosecution
OF Goyneth, and the efforts are likely
to be successful. Though brought up
in doubtful environments, Gwyneth is a
highly cultured girl. OF refined manners
and extreme susceptibility.
