The anti-Parnellites have arranged to hoid
a conference with the Parneltes early in
November with a view to restoring harmony
between the factions. They have been weakened

time for breaking the rule of the Natonalists

AN INDIAN LOAN INEVITABLE.
The Government of India cabled to London
on Tuesday to advise urgently that such
duty be placed upon the import of silver to
India as would equalize the prize of silver and
the price of rupees The dispatch was debated
in Council at the India Office. with the re-
suit that the suggestion of the Indian Govern
ment was condemned as untimely The Earl
of Kimberley's response is understood to indi-
cate, however that in the near future the i'm
port duty will be imposed. The Home Gov
ernment hesitates to take any action in the
matter before the currency question in the
United States shall be settled For three
months the India Council has been unable to sell
bills, yet 1t must pay in London during the cur
rent financial year f1s,750000. Against this the
Council raised by the sale Of drafts and deb
entures f7,O0OOO0. An Indian loan appears,
therefore, to be inevitable.
Financial houses here agree in expecting the
United States to call for gold loan. resulting
in a large rise of the rates THE Statist"
holds that only the repeal of the Sherman act
can restore confidence in America BY con-
tinuing their present policy of obstruction, ii
says the silver Senators in Washington may
oblige the great capitalists who recently sent
gold to the United States under the belief that
the Sherman act would be repealed, to with
draw their loans.
THE DECLINE OF THE TURF.
Sportsmen and their newspapers are mourning
over the decadence of the turf Never before
has the list Of titled patrons been 50 small, and
there is no sign that the rising generation Of
Lords will recruit the depleted ranks. The
names of the men who have been lost to the
turf recently show what racing in England has
suffered Lord Calthorpe is dead. Lord Gerard
and Lord Hastings have withdrawn The Dukes
Of Portland. Beaufort and Devonshre own
rhyn, and Londonderry are reducing their studs
rapidly and the Earl of Dupraven is too busy
with yachting to revive the decreasing glores OF
the turf. Lords Rosebery, Zetland, Durham and
Ellesrnere are the only peers who remain
stanch in their loyalty to the turf and upon
them the British sportsmen are resting their
hopes for better days. the rich members Of the
House of Commons have left the tracks al
most as rapidly as have the peers. While among
men of honor and substance the interest in
horse-r HIS thus noticeably decreased the
general public remains devoted to the sport.
The betting on big races this year mas sur
passed all precedent. The Derby, TO be run
next spring already figures in the letting and
the Earl of Rosebery's Ladas is favorite at

at EPSON and the Champagne Stakes at
Doncaster.
RETURN OF THE PRINCESS OF WALES.
The Princess of Wales. with her two daugh-
ters arrived at Marlborough House to-day from
Copenhagen, where she has visited her parents
for several weeks. After short stay in Lon
don 1be will go abroad for the winter probably |
to 80ypt. The Prince Of Wales came up from
Sandringham this morning to meet her. Many
stories aioat to the effect that the Princess's
frequent and prolonged absences from England |
are due to family quarrels. In court circles she
Is said to go abroad merely to improve her own |
feeble health and strengthen the lungs of her
daughter Maud.
