bill giving financial aid to evicted tenants
in Ireland they will withdraw their sup
port from the Cabinet. Several anti-Par-
ncllltes. moreover have agreed TO follow
the same line OF action.
John Morley. Irish secretary. wishes to
grant the Parneliite demands. but the ma
jority of the ministers insist upon the
necessity OF fulfilling the pledges given to
the Liberals that the whole session next
winter shall be devoted to the discussion
Of English measures.
The ultimate decision OF the government
will depend upon the strength OF the
Irish. The Parnellltes Will get their evic-
ton bill II Cladstone's majority seems
likely to be reduced TO the danger point
and the fate of the government becomes
involved.
PROPOSED IRISH HARMONY.
The anti-ParnelIltes have arranged 10
hold n conference with the Parnellites
early in November with view toward
restoring harmony between the factions.
They have been weakened greatly OF late
by the disaffection of John Barry and
w r. Reynolds and the reports that
others are about to desert their organiza-
tons Justin Mccarthy evidently feels
himself too old to stay the process Of dis
Indignation, and he offered to resign the
leadership IN favor OF Arthur OConnor.
John Dillon or Thomas Sexton Dillon
and Sexton. aided by Michael Davltt ana
William O'Brien, have succeeded. how
ever, in inducing him TO reconsider his
offer They are now endeavoring to per-
suade Barry and his fellow members to
retain their seats in the House OF Com
mons
II is reported that John Morley has
offered Thomas Sexton the post of Irish
Commissioner of Education, urging upon
him that the present is an opportune
time for breaking the rule OF the Ma
tionalists against accepting office from the
British government. But Sexton, however
willing he may be to take the place. is
not the man to accept 1t without first
obtaining the full assent of his colleagues.

Observation-Disclosures IN WALES.
Mr.. Gladstone is busy drafting the
Welsh establishment bill. He is. as usual,
drawing upon his marvelously fertile re-
sources to find !. new way out OF diff
cultles. He has discovered already
simple solution OF one problem. He will
contend, for instance, that no church of
Wales exists but merely the Church OF
England in Wales.
The Conservatives have started a re-
port that Gladstone will abandon his
candidature for the Midlothian District
at the next election, because of fears that
he would be defeated. The report of his
retirement from the district. however, is
pure fiction. In his last interview with
his election committee. he gave and re-
ceived assurance that his connection with
his historic constituency would be main
tanned.
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
The Indian government cabled TO Lon
don on Tuesday TO advise urgently that
such duty be placed upon the imports
OF silver to India as would equalize the
price of silver and the price of rupees.
The dispatch was debated in Council at
the India Office with the result that the
suggestion Of the Indian government was
condemned as untimely. The Earl OF
Kimberly's response is understood TO in
dicate, however. that in the near future
the import duty will be imposed. The
home government hesitates TO take any
action in the matter before the currency
question IN the United States shall be
settled
For three months the Indian Council
have been unable TO sell bills. yet they
must pay in London during the current
financial year $3.50 900. Again, this Coun-
Gil raised by the sale of drafts and de-
bentures. 100000. An Indian loan ap-

LOCAL OPTION.
.,anigesto In favor of the local-op-
ton i'quor bill has appeared over the sig
natsi - 40 leaders among the work.
IN. 'che Labor members of Parlia-
r,t- signed the manifesto are John
Bum o.. liardie. John Wilson, Joseph
H. II. Wilson, Samuel Woods, and
Joeepa Arch The paper has an impor-
tant present bearing. as 1t imposes upon
the government the necessity OF hasten
ing forward the measure. In the face of
the manifesto It will be clearly impossi-
BILE for the Ministers to shirk or delay the
bill in the House of Commons. The
Lords will reject the bill unless 1t be ac-
companied with provisions fully to COM
pensate the publicans to be dispossessed.
DECADENCE OF THE TURF.
Sportsmen aad their newspapers are
mourning over the decadence Of the turf.
Never before has the list Of titled patrons
been SO small. and there Is no sign that
the rising generation OF Lords will re-
cruit the depleted ranks. The names OF
men who have been lost to the tracks
recently show how racing In England has
suffered. Lord Calthorp is dead Lord
Gerard and Lord Hastings have with
drawn. The Dukes OF Portland. Beaufort,
ami Devonshire own only two or three
racers each. Lords Cadogan, Penrhyn,
and Londonderry are reducing their studs
rapidly, and the Earl Of Dunraven Is too
busy yachting to revive the decreasing
glories Of the turf. Rosebery, Seatland.
Durham. and Ellsmere are now the only
Lords who remain staunch In their loyal
ty to the turf, and upon them the British
sportsmen are resting their hopes for bet
ter days The rich members of the
House of Commons have left the tracks
almost as rapidly as have the Peers.
While among men of honor and sub
stance the interest In horse-racing has
decreased thus noticeably, the general
public have remained devoted to the sport.
The betting on big events this year has
surpassed all precedent For the Derby
