| LONDON, Sept 23.--The placidity on the
surface Of political affairs is altogether de-
ceptive as 10 the real state of the liberal
sections In the ministerial position. There
is nobody on the stump in Great Britain,
and though some of the Irish politicians
maintain their controversial their squab-
bles have small bearing upon
the tendency of events. But, unseen of the
general public, the greatest danger men.
aoing the existence of the Gladstone gov
ernment is the formation Of a strong radi-
cal faction. Labouchere's diatribes do not
represent fully the radical discontent or the
growth of radical intentions. A represeu-
tatiye OF the Associated Press hav-
ing had chance 20 interview some
of the stanchest Scotch members of the
! House OF Commons supporting Mr. Gladstone
was surprised at finding them declaring
refuse to continue their adhesion to Mr..
| Gladstone II he did not subordinate home
rule to what they considered the more
important planks in the Newcastle pros
| gramme.
| DISCONTINUED AND DIsGUsTED.
One prominent Scotch commoner said:
| "We are not only disconteuted at the sacri-
| flee Of radical politics to Ireland, but are
! disguised. We shall vote for the second

thus far, allegiance 20 our chief. but we will
not suffer our own affairs to be delayed
through prolonged discussion Of the bill in
the House of Commons. II the unionists or
the Irish choose to protect the proceedings In
the House of Commons and the bill is de-
teated on its crucial clause. home rule will
I be dropped Among the commoners adj
herring to this determination a representa-
tive Of the Associated Press learned that
forty-two members concurred in this deS
termination, enough to make havoc In the
party II Mr.. Gladstone persists In his de-
| termination 90 push home rule at all
hazards. The Scotch members of the House
OF Commons have rarely intervened IN bulk
against the liberal government, and when
they do so their action will be final
IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH THE IRISH.
John Morley, chief secretary for ireland,
is keeping in the closes touch with the
leaders Of the Irish party. He finds the
prominent officials Of Dublin castle burden
| come, and he distrusts them as they distrust
him. If he followed the advice OF Dillon,
| O'Brien aud others he would dismiss the
| whole lot. They are notoriously uuionist in
| their sYmpathtes and are apt to hamper or
pervert every measure he takes in behalf of
the nationalists. MIR. Morley is adverse to
clearing them out, but he Is compelled TO
act through others, thus making official
procedure slower and less direct.
The Associated Press has authority to
state that though Mr.. Morley cannot advise
the wholesale release of prisoners convicted
under the coercion act. he IS considering
evsry case In itself and is hopeful OF over
taking every conviction within a month.
He also decided TO release every one Of these
prisoners unless he is an offender under the
common law.
GOVERNMENT PROTECTION OF TENANTS.
Concerning government protection Of
tenants who have been evicted from their
holdings, practical steps in this direction
will be taken Ia October, after Mr.. Morley's
tour of the distressed districts. He has
sent circulars to the authorities asking them
to supply him with information concerning
evictions in their districts He will person
ally examine the cases and determine the
methods Of relief. Archbishop Walsh and
the Archbishop of Cashel and other leading
Catholic clergymen give him strenuous sup
port
In view of Mr.. MorIey's decisive inter-
vention, the eviction campaign of the tory
landlords shows signs OF subsiding.
The corporation OF the city OF Dublin has
decided by vote of II TO 16 not to present
an address to Lord Houghton, the new
viceroy Of the Irish. The Parnelites are
still in the majority in the corporation, and
to-day's narrow vote indicates that they
have relaxed their hostility to the govern
ment.
THE DECLINE IN SILVER.
The disastrous results of the fall in the
price of silver on the financial position Of
India is shown In an estimate made public
to-day by Mr.. Barbour, finance secretary
Of the Indian government. This shows a
probable deficiency OF from $1,000 to 10000
lacs of rupees in the next budget. Mr.. Bar
bour opposed meeting the deficit by tho
issue of loan, and advises the curtailment
Of the military expenditure.
AMERICANS IN LONDON.
Practically all the berth room on every
steamer scheduled to sail for America up to
the middle of October is takeI. The num-
ber Of Americans In London Is increasing
All are anxious to get thus far on their
homewerd journey, in order to prevent any
detention on the continent oboause Of the
cholera.
