Politics at the Lowest Ebb In London
Just at This Time.


They Believe to be Inevitable-Irish
Members Making the Most of the
Recess by Enjoying American
Tours-Opinions That the Monarchy
Will be Restored in Brazil.
London, Sept. 23.-The question domi-
nant at the moment is whether Gladstone
will make his speech before his Midlo-
THAN constituents in Edinburgh next
week, opening the campaign against the
existence of the House of Lords. The ex-
ecutive committee of the liberal fedora
tion keenly desired that he should de-
clare war against the peers at once, but
they dom expect any definite utterance
from him within the next
few months. While asserting in
private to the federation's
recent manifesto against the lords, Glad
stone informed the executive committee
two weeks ago that he intended to con-
fine his action to the measure for discs
tablshment, tone man, one vote" and
the better regulation of the relations be-
tween landlords and tenants in London.
In ministerial circles, therefore, no espec-

pected from Gladstone at Edinburgh, al

will be directed against them.
RosEBERY AND THE QUEEN.
The liberal campaign against the peers
will open in earnest at the next congress
OF the national liberal federation This
congress will adopt as permanent plank
IN the party platform a demand for the
reform or abolition of the upper house.
The Earl Of Rosebery, secretary of state
for foreign affairs, advocates the creation
Of single senate, in which the heredi-
tary element of the House of Lords shall
be preserved as subordinate element.
He had conference on the subject
with Gladstone at Blackcraig castle yes
terday and afterward went to Balmoral
to consult with the queen. 1t is not prob
able that he took to her the Intelligence
of any new plans Of Gladstone against
the peers. Such declaration, combined
with the Gladstonian programme of dis
establishment in Wales and Scotland,
would undoubtedly have strained TO the
utmost the relations between her majesty
and the prime minister.
CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE LORDS.
The approach of the campaign against
the lords has caused several English
bishops to propose to leaders of the
church in Scotland that they join an of
fensive and defensive alliance to fight
disestablishment and the reform of the
upper house. The Scotch churchmen,
however, received the proposal so coldly
that the project of an alliance has been
abandoned. The Scotch clergy seem to
regard disestablishment as inevitable and
almost justifiable. They don't wish to
link the fate Of the church in Wales with
that Of the church in Scotland.
Politics is at the lowest ebb in London
just now All the cabinet ministers are
out Of town and the clubs are deserted.
VACATION OF IRISH MEMBERS.
Among the Irish members of parlia-
ment who will take advantage Of the re-
cess to make American tours are Florence
Driscoll, Anti-Parnellite for South Mo-
monaghan and Arthur OConnor, Anti-Par-
nellite for East Donegal. VIM. Redmond,
who helps his brother lead the PaFnell-
ties, has gone TO Australia. John Dillon,
Timothy Healy, Thomas Sexton, William
O'Brien and Justin Mccarthy
have been invited to visit the
Chicago fair, but have been
detained at home, partly through the dis
pute over the Paris fund. Michael Dayitt
writes that the real difficulties in the
way of the release money are not due to
the dispute with the Parnellites, but
caused almost entirely by the Paris
fund, he says, acted in a frivolous and ar
bitrary manner. This statement has not
as yet elected the expected response from
Messrs. Munroe & Co.
UNRELIABLE REPORTS.
The Brazilian secretary of legation here
said in an interview this morning that the
official advices from Rio although mea-
ger, contradicted many of the sensa-
tional reports favorable to President
Peixotto. The telegraphic service of the
country, he said, was still in the govern
ment's hands. The legation, he added,
has reason to consider the alarmist tele-
grams about rebel successes along the
Brazilian coast as manufactured
matter sent out by the re-
bells. Decisive news is expected
by the legation to arrive in a few days.
The secretary expressed sanguine views
of President Peixottos position. He de-
MED emphatically that there was busi-
ness panic in Rio. The banks, he said,
continued to transact business, and Bra
lillian securities had not declined notably
on the European bourses.
RESTORATION OF THE MONARCHY EXPECTED.
Such official opinions, he averred,
hardly ever agree with the tenor of pri-
vate dispatches. These show that busi-
ness in Rio is paralyzed The comparative
strength of Brazilian securities is due to
the belief of the large financial houses in
Paris that the revolution will end in the
restoration of the monarchy and eStab-
lishment of affairs on a solid basis.
The British dailies laboredly declare
the opinion that the days Of the republic
are numbered.
Mail advices from Rio concur that Ad-
miral Mello, commander of the revolu-
tionary squadron, is an ambitious schemer,
whose greatest desire is to secure for the
navy and at the same time for himself q
predominant influence over national
affairs.
GoYERNoR-GENERAL NORMAN.
Sir Henry Norman, who was appointed
governor general of India early in this
month, took two weeks to reconsider his
acceptance Of the office. The alleged rea-
son for his withdrawal was, that at his
advanced age, he feared he would not be
equal to the burdens of the place. This
excuse is ridiculed in official circles,
where Sir Henry is known to have
magnificent physique almost untouched
by age He is said to have a frame OF
iron, Injured to health and hard work.
The real reason for Sir Henry's refusal
was undoubtedly the hostility OF members
Of the Indian council. They let it be un-
derstood plainly that they could not be ex-
pected TO work with him without friction.
Gladstone is now in quandary. He
wishes 70 appoint Lord Herschell, with
his fabian policy towards Russia in Asia.
The Earl OF Rose berry, however. favOrA
