POLITICS OF BRITAIN
Irish Questions Still the Source Of Min
isterial Trouble.
FUTURE OF HOME RULE.
Prediction That There VIII BE None After
eladstone's Death-London Note and
Journalistic Comment.

to have met yesterday, but the meeting
was postponed until after Mr.. Gladstone
had conferred with Mr.. Morley, Chief
Secretary for ireland. Hence IL has been
readily assumed that the Irish questions
which the English Liberals had hoped
were tabooed for the session, are again
troubling the Cabinet.
Ministerial circles attach less import
ance 10 the hostile action Of the Parnel-
lites who threaten TO withdraw from the
majority owing 10 the differences with
the government as to the relief OF eyicted
tenants, and the release OF political
prisoners. than they do TO the widening
breach between Morley and Asquith. the
Home Secretary.
MORLEY CONCILIATORY.
Morley fayors a more conciliatory policy
towards the Irish. He advises the Cabi-
net TO introduce before Christmas bill
for the relief OF evicted tenants in Ireland
and to release several more political
prisoners. lie urges this policy as ueces-
sary to avert the partial dissolution OF
the Anti-Parnellite party under Justin
Mccarthy, upon whose unbroken support
tho government depends to hurry the
projected English legislation.
Asquith opposes Morley at each OF these
points, and reports credit the Cabinet
with an overwhelming sentiment against
asking Parliament TO consider this winter
any Irish measures involving prolonged
debate. John Dillon, William O'Brien,
and other Ani-Parnefiites speak and
write as II the government were pledged
20 introduce in the next session a bill
to reinstate the tenants. Privately the
Liberals of ministerial rank deny that

REDMOND TO LEAD OFT.
On Monday John Redmond, leader OF
the Parnellites, will ask Mr. Gladstone In
the House of Commons whether the gov
eminent intends to introduce or to pro-
pose a temporary measure OF relief, based
upon the thirteenth clause OF the land
purchase act of 1891, and supplemented
by provisions for compulsory settlement
Mr.. Gadstones reply can be predicted
with considerable certainty. he VIII de-
cline to introduce the bin suggested by
Redmond. although he may indicate the
possibility OF q compromise Wlthn the
limits OF the thirteenth clause. The Wis
dom of this course is concentrated in the
point that no prolonged Conservative op-
position will be provoked by 1t, and that
the progress Of the English bills will not
be impaired.
Is HOME RULE TO VANISH?
The Duke OF Argyll speaking in Glas-
gov this week, said the cause Of Home
Rule was dependent entirely upon the lie
OF Gladstone, and with him would vanish
from the field OF politics. This theory OF
his Grace was hardly enunciated before
Il WIS most strikingly contradicted Nv
the speeches OF Asquith and Campbell
Bannerman. Secretary Of state for War,
both OF whom proclaimed for the first
time their attitude in favor OF federal-
izInR the United Kingdom.
The Daily Standard, the Weekly Specta-
tor. and other Unionist organs, dilate on
. tremendous Importance Of policy by
which tho liberals virtually commit them
selves 10 revolution-to weakening the his
toric constituency Of the constitution
and Transforming the United Kingdom
into a collection Of State governments on
the Federal model
INTERESTING NOTES.
Mr.. Gladstone has not derived so much
benefit from his holiday as the Liberal
press would make the county believe. His
gait is feebler and his face Is ashen gray.
Hts voice however, is as clear and reso-
nant as ever.
In the absence Of Joseph Chamberlain.
Sir Henry James is leading the Liberal
JJniouists In the House of Commons. The
Duke OF lDtNOnSnlTt, VI .lAt GiA'h7
fists In the House of Lords, has subscribed
to a fund for the defence Of the Estab-
lined Church I'm Wales. This Is the first
time he has identified himself with the
opposition to Welsh disestabllshment
AN INCENDIARY MEETING.
The London Anarchists celebrated with
a public meeting last evening the release
of their commander David John Nicoll
from prison The speakers reyelled In the
most incendiary and blafphemOus Ian
guage. They became so utterly reckless
occasionally that the audience groaned
and Kissed them. Prince Krapotkin, who
had promised to attend the meeting, sent
regrets.
c. Mowbray, publisher Of the Common
veal, proclaimed without mincing words
the revolution OF Force Better fight
than starve." he said. Editor Samuels, OF
the Commonweal, said the Social Demo
Gratis were towards. Gladstone, ne
said. was a humbug Samuels closed
his TRADE amid fervid cheering.
Nicoll described his prison life and pre-
dcted that the day was at hand wher
some Of his audience would be called
upon TO die for the cause Of Anarchy
Policemen were present, but did not inter

Indicate that this illegal mintage IL mo-
likely to influence values or the imports
OF silver materially. Financial experts II
Indian affairs agree that the unexpireC
magnitude of the Indian demand for sill
yer is due partly to the cessation OF Tho
practice OF melting down rupees for or
naments. This practice was too wastefu
TO be continued after the coinage OF silYel
ceased. and bar silver is now used almos
exclusively by the artisans and manufac
turers hence the recent influx OF silver.
During the last three months the ship
ments of silver from England to Chint
have amounted TO more than double TIT
quantity of silver shipped in the CORE
spending period of 1885. This enormous
increase has helped greatly to sustain tn
price OF silver.
