BALFOUR INCREASES ITS LENGTH
OF LIFE.

sCopyright, 1892. by the N Y. Associated ress.)
LONDON. June 17.-Another effort to get
she government to fix the exact datGof the
dissolution of parliament was baffleti in the
House of Commons Tonight by Or. Bal
four's courteous but resolute exclamation
that business, even II It was expedited in the
House of Lords as in the Hous of Com
mons, would not permit Of dissolution before
June 30 or 80. This statementwas Some
what at variance with the statmene made
last Monday by Mr.. Balfour, When he said
that parliament would be Dissolved on a
date between June 10 and Junt25.
THE OPPOSITION FUNNG.
The opposition, though fored to admit
the reasonableness of Mr.. Balour's conten-
ton that the House Of Lordsought to have
decent time to deal with measures already
passed by the House of Commons, ragged
over the delay, although precedent. which
was on the side of the government, made its
position impregnable.
Henry Labouchere in moing to adjourn
with a view to assailing Mr.. Balfour
brought the whole opposition to their feet
10 support of the motion. Mr., Gladstone,
who had set the ball rolling by opening the
questions on Mr.. Balfour, knew the fuhlity
Of an attack on this line ami sat obviously
tuning bu. he kept sieLt. Mr.. Balfour
maintained his reserve andt the liberals OBJ
tanned no information more definite than
that the government would fix the date of
dissolution at a time suitable to the business
Of the house and especially suitable to con-
sentative convenience.
While this scene was proceeding In the
House of Commons the House Of Lords pre-
sented spectacle of co1rtly splendor, the

DANGER OF THE LIBERALS.
The liberals appear to be becoming con-
scious of certain cold blasts of popular
opinion to chill their prophetic ardor of
victory. The Gladstoaian organ, the
Pail Mall Gazette. and others, confess that
there are difficulties menaoing the chances
of success of the liberals in Mr.. Gladsb0ne's
attitude toward the S-hour and church dig
establishment questions and the open party
scorn of the woman's suffrage movement.
The Pail Mall Gazette has demanded that
Mr.. Schnadehorst repudiate the circular is
sued from the liberal headquarters, suggest
ing that lady speakers be not allowed
10 address liberal meetings, as the woman's
liberal federation has passed into the hands
of the female suffrage party, which has
advocated woman suffrage at the expense
Of the general programme. The liberal ex-
ecutive has not withdrawn the circular. In
the meantime the active members Of the
womans federation use liberal platforms
whenever possible, contrasting the policy
Of that party toward women with that Of
recognition with the conservatives of their
claims and their influence as an electioneer-
ing factor.
THE LABOR VOTE TO BE SPLIT.
In regard to the probable results of Mr..
GladstOne's hostility to the S-hour move
ment, there is a concurrence Of opinion that
it will split the vote in number of labor
constituencies. A meeting of leading mem
bers OF the labor party, held at the Demo-
cratic Club, sent an intimation to the
liberal executive that further negotiations
on the question Of running candidates were
useless and that labor men would appoint
their own candidates without consulting
party managers. The Chronicle, the
mouthpiece of the London trades council,
says that Mr.. Gladstone, try as he may,
cannot put into his coming manifesto any
statement more important than the one he
made yesterday to a deputatlon from the
council regarding the S-hour question. 1t
leaves every man, woman and child in
England who earns his or her bread by
manual labor disappointed and depressed
CHURCH DIsEsTABLIsHMENT
Concerning church dlsesta blishment Mr.
Gladstone will meet tomorrow a group of
nOn-conformists Of the house of Guinness.
Rogers He has been warned that the nom
conformists expect a definite pronounce
ment on the question of disestablishment In
Wales and Scotland. Organizers rightly
fear that Mr.. Gladstone will decline to
speak definite. He may chill the non-con-
formist enthusiasm by frankly declaring
that the home rule question excludes every
thing else.
SALIsBURY's PROGRAMME.
According to a report current in minis
telal circles, Lord Salisbury will not place
q new programme before the country but
will rely chiefly upon denunciation of home
rule. The election platform, as defined In
Mr.. Balfour's speech Wednesday, has dis
appointed the governments supporters.
The tories are offended over Mr.. Balfour's
promises regarding ground rents as attack
ing property, and the advanced conserva-
nves are displeased on account OF the abb
sence of proposals in favor Of labor. A
number of conservative candidates relied
upon the government to give them plank
for the rural vote.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minis
ter at Washington, arrived here to-day and
at once proceeded to the foreign Office.
Later he held a conference at the colonial
office with the permanent under secretary,
Mr.. Meade and H. G. Topper, British agent
Office predict that the Boring sea arbitration
will be protracted affair, even if all sides
desire to expedite the proceedings.
DILLON ON THE STUMP.
John Dillon began yesterday q weeks
stumping tour Of England. In an inter-
view with an Associated Press representa-
tive he said: LAS far as my advices go the
position has not been changed by Mr.. Red
mond's visit to America, If his visit had
any influence tending to reconcile the
parties it is not yet known here. l do not
Know what Mr.. Redmond has effected by his
visit" As Mr.. Dillon had nothing fresh to
communicate on the relations Of the two
parties, the Associated Press man
turned the conversation to the oc-
cult allusion of Lord Rosebery
IN his speech at Kelso last night to q trI-
bunal to which differences between the inn
perlal and Irish parliament should be
referred. On being asked what the tribunal
alluded to could be, Mr.. Dillon ventured the
surmise that Lord Rosebery was applying
hls we'll known ideas on imperial federation
70 home rule. The tribunal alluded to, Mr..
Dillon added, was probably some scheme to
create supreme court similar to
that Of the United States, for
The settlement of disputes between
the imperial parliament and the other par
lament, but neither he nor the Irish party
had In the meantime anything TO do with
buch scheme. Some idea of the activity
OF Mr. Dillon in the electoral field may be
gained from the records OF this weeks
work. Tuesday be spoke in Cork, Wednes-
Jay in Dublin and Thursday in North Lon
