LONDON, May IA. 1t is stated on ex-
cellent authority that the real object of
the government in observing so much
secrecy about the dissolution is to catch
the Liberals mapping. The Conserva-
tive leaders are afraid that ii they were
to set a day, the Liberals and their
friends abroad would at once begin in
the most earnest manner to prepare for
the struggle, but. that while there is
doubt about the dissolution. there will
be disposition to put off active prepa-
ratiOnS. The most significant indica-
ton that dissolution is not far off is the
eivility of the Conservative and their
Liberal nioniSt allies. Everywhere an
earnest canvass is being carried on with
view to ascertain the strength of the
respective parties. The Conservatives
are we'll satisfied with the results of the
canvass so far. They do not expect the
overwhelming maiorities of 1886, but
they are confident of victory.
The Ulster movement is developing
an Importance that causes the Liberals
much anxiety. The non-eonformist
ministers who have been sent as polit-
zeal missionaries from Ulster to the
English nOn-conformistS are meeting
with a better re ception than they ex-
pected. and everywhere the non-con-
formist Liberals are being appealed to
not to turn over their fellow religionists
in Ireland to the mercieS of
Catholic Home Rule Parliament.
These appeals are being carried into
the home and workshop, as well the
chapel, and it is claimed that many of
the English nOn-conformistS have al
ready been converted to the side of the
Ulster brethren. The weakness of the
Irish national cause consists in the bit
ter antagonism aroused by the utter
ances of Timothy Healy. While Healy
remans prominent in the federation a
reconciliation of the Irish factions seems
impossible. Healy continues as bitter
as ever in his expressions relating
to the ParnelliteS, and they are as
bitter as ever against Healy.- Nothing
short of -Healy'S retirement would be
satisfactory to the friends of the late
Irish leader, and Healy will not retire.
Consequently it seems certain that the
ParnelliteS and i-ParnelliteS will 20
into the general election opposed to
each other, and the Conservatives are
confident that they can capture several
seats as a result OF the Irish division.
:. The anti-P arnellite leaders are report
d.to be much disappointed at-the prac-
teal faiiureOf the attempt to RAISE funds
in America, and they are beginning to
he convinced that while some prominent
Irishmen in America may contribute to
the national cause as represented by the
anti-Parnellite federation, the dollars of
the WOrkingmen and of the servant
girls, which formed the bulk of the con-
tributions in the pastfor the support of
the Irish cause, when united under Par
nell, will not be gwen to avowed antag-
onists of Parneii. The scene at Cork
Friday night shows thatin Ireland the
mutual hatred of the factions is not
dying out. "a .-I
Mr.. Gladstone anxiously anticiptes an
early dissolution of parliament, as he
has written to his constituents in Mid
Lothian: "In my opinion Twill ask the
electors for their votes before the end OF
June" -,.5.- o. -
