LONDON, Oct 28-That section of the
Cabinet having any influence whatever with
home rule proposals has long been so
versed in both the leading principles and
the details Of the measure that the presenta-
tion Of draft of the bills. if the prssenta-
tion occurred at all, must have been consid-
cred mere formality.
Immediately after the Government was
formed, Mr.. Gladstone constituted several
committees, each charged with preparing
the leading measures of the coming session
of Parliament The Home Rule Committee
consisted of Mr.. Gladstone himself, Earl
Spencer, Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
John Morley and Sir George Trevelyan.
Supreme confidence prevails in the inner
most ministerial circle regarding the abso-
lutte unanimitv of the Cabinet Committee
on the home rule scheme. With the COM
mittee in unison. dissension is impossible.
And it is certain that the bill will be pre-
sented IN Parliament, without the remotest
chance of any Minister breaking loose from
his colleagues
The Government measures next in i'm
portance before the Cabinet are electoral
registration reform, publicans' licenses and
parish councils bills All of these have
been drafted, and it can now be announced
that they will form the bulk of the business
of the session.

The currency agitation, radiating from
Manchester as center, is now working up
the commercial and financial circles of
London. The London Chamber of Com

principal resolution adopted by the meet

luton affrms that the best remedy for the
depression in trade is broad, international
compact re-openirg the mints of the lead
ing nations of The world to the unrestricted
coinage of gold and silver and demands that
the Government cooperate with the coming
International Monetary Conference to Sc
cure such an agreement. In the highest
financial quarters, however, there is a be-

a policy of inertia on the currency ques-

Davitt Ridicules LIE Caron's Statement.
Michael Davitt, writing in The Speaker.
characterizes DR.. LIE Caron's book of remin-
iscences as Scissors and paste mixed with
bad invention" With reference to DR..
LIE Caron's assertion that he brought
sealed package from John Dewey to Patrick
Egan, who was then in Paris, Mr.. Davltt
says that he has obtained from Mr.. Egan
the identical sealed packet, fac simile of
which appears in The Speaker and instead
of containing a Clan-na-Gael document,
which Dr. LIE Caron declares he could not
trust to the mails it proved to contain only
an ordinary letter of introduction. Mr.
Davitt denounces LIE Caron's statements
generally as palpable yarns.
Dame rumor, in different garb, with pre-
tentious certitude, makes the woman pois-
oner Neill tell the whole story of his
crimes The Associated Press representa-
tive, however, has authority to state that
Neill, since the sentence of death was
passed upon him, has breathed not word
of confession, and has profered no state
ment whatever relating to his guilt or inno-
cence. Neill is regularly attended in his
cell by the Protestant chaplain attached to
the Newgate prison. He treats the chap
lain courteously, and listens to his admoni-
tions with respect, but otherwise keeps an
absolute reserve.

the disposal of the funds to be raised for

with him to be absolute
