| Progress in the first two hours was very
| slow. Lord Rosebery is q wonderful master OF
| mon OF all classes. He permitted no outbreak
! OF an uncon clliatory spirit on either side. Be
| invited the twenty eight delegates into an ad-
| joining room at 1 o'clock. whore q sumptuous
lunch was served. and there was no lack Of
champagne. Before lunch. Lord Rosebery
| said there seemed no prospect OF q settlement
on that day. After lunch. which lasted q long
time. by tho way the progress OF the adjust
ment became remarkably rapid. With con-
summate tact and skill Lord Rosebery guided
the question OF settlement to the Issue. and
within an hour the terms were practically
agreed upon.
1t is after all only temporary solution OF the
question OF a living wage. which the men
declared was the principle they would die to
establish. This has OF been settled. In fact.the
vast sacrifices on both sides have been In vain
save that they have aroused exasperated public
opinion into universal demand for some
method for the settlement OF such disputes.
Tho political effect Of yesterday com promise
is Of very great importance. No more valuble
piece OF good fortune could have come to the
Liberal Government. Tho Intervention By the
Cabinet came at precisely the right MON nt.
and tho credit OF the settlement will be given
to Lord Rosebery and Mr. Gladstone by tho
entire country 1t opens the question whether
the accomplishment Of the whole Newcastle
programme would 80 strongly establish tho
Liberal Government in popular esteem as this
single. timely coup. Shrowd politicians sug-
gest to-day that It would be good politics for
the Government to ride for q fall in Parliament
within tho next few weeks in order to take adj
vantage Of the strong reaction in Mr.. Glad
stones favor In general election. The situa-
ton exasperntes the Opposition, who cannot
successfully detract from the capital which
the Liberal party is making ont CT the in
cident.
Mr.. Chamberlain will enter the Parliament
AIRY fray again next week. and the peaceful
days OF legitimate work may be expected to
end. He denounoes tho Employers Liability
bill and other Government measures in long
interview to-day. What he says about the
prospects and effects of the pending revision
OF the American tariff 10 rather interesting:
Il believe" he said. that President Cleve-
land is absolutely honest and straight. and
that he will adhere to the principles he laid
down in his prediction addresses. which
pointed in the direction OF reduction OF
duties in cases In which they are not required
for revenue purposes. and whore they are
clearly excessive and directed merely TO the
protection OF particular industries At the
same time. he is opposed by gigantic vested
interests and 1t is quito impossible for an
outsider to predict whether he will be suo-
cessiul I think. probably. some changes will
be made. but do not anticipate any very
great alteration in the tariff generally.
Il am still oithe opinion that as far as Eng
lish trade is concerned. 1t would not be good
thing for US that the Americans should mako
any real approach to free trade. Although at
the outset our manufacturers might gain con-
siderable advantages. sooner or later the nat
ural resources OF the United States. II set en-
tirely free. would enable them not only to hold
their own against our competition. but to
compete successfully with US In the neutral
markets in which. at the present time. their
protective system gives US the advantage"
The naval scare. naval panic it Is now called
does not abate in England. The Times and
other Tory newspapers thunder daily their
warnings that the British supremacy OF tho
seas Is in imminent danger. 1t Is q rather
popular cry. and the Liberal party is ofrsettng
It by equally vehement declarations that the
navy shall be maintained on o basis distinctly
superior to the combined fleets OF Russia and
France. There Is little doubt that tho Gov
eminent will provide for big naval expendi-
ture In the next budget. including the provi-
sion OF several m st powerful new vessels The
budget. by the way. will call for sharp in
crease in taxation. which is another reason for
a tenn pting appeal to the country before the
