LONDON. November 1.-THE arrang-
Ing OF the programme for the annual
conference of the Conservative National
Union was only finished last night As
finally announced, II presents nothing
new. II avoids making any declaration
on the question OF electoral reform; the
disestablishment of the Church In Wales.
or other political issues on which IL
would be dangerous TO commit the party.
Lord Dunraven, who besides being
genuine sportsman, takes rather great
interest In the success of the Conserva-
tives. will preside at the conference. and
Lord Salisbury will make a speech. On
the second day. Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bart-
lett. who sits in Parliament for one of
the Sheffield divisions, will move the
adoption OF a resolution approving the
rejection by the House Of Lords OF the
home-rule bill. which. It Is scarcely ne
cessary to state. will be unanimously
adopted.
ARBITRATION.
Sir Albert Kaye Rolitt, who represents
the South Division Of Islington in the
House OF Commons, will speak In favor
| OF boards OF arbitration for the settle
| ment OF trades disputes. Mr. Arthur
Hugh Smith-Barry, representative in
Parliament OF the South Division Of
Huntington, will call the attention Of
the conference to the time wasted by
| Parliament in discussing g. probable
home-rule bill
Among the more prominent resolutions
to be submitted will be one affirming
that Great Britain is suffering from the
AFFECT submission Of Parliament to the
demands of Irish demagogues.
Viewed as a whole, no emptier pro-
gramms was ever submitted to great
| party-cauous. 1t IL significant that nothing
is said in the programme about forcing
| the dissolution OF Parliament.
| GOVERNMENTAL DANGER-PoINTS.
The Conservative cue now being followed
| by the press and on the platform repre-
| sents the government as certain TO be
| ousted at the next session, either on the
| Minlstry's providing for disestablishment
of the Church in Wales or in the budget.
| 1t is an undoubted fact that unless the
| Anti-Parnellite section of the Irish Parla-
| Tnentary party gives the government unre-
! Taxed support during the divisions on the
disestablishment bill. Mr.. Gladstone and
| his ministry will be compelled to resign.
| The budget, too, will prove point OF
danger. The trade of Great Britain is so
| diminished. while the expenditures are not
| lessened that an enormous deficit will
| stare the government I'm the face. The only
| possible solution Of the financial question
will bs the imposition of fresh taxation,
| and this will, of course, make the budget
unpopular.
| Having these facts In mind, the Conser-
vatives argue that there Is no neea 70
| clamor for the dissolution of Parliament

| IRISH DISCoURAGEMENT.
| With regard to the fidelity of the anti
| Parnellites. on which the government VIII
| depend for its existence 1t can be plainly
seen that it is being subjected to heavy
strain. The visit OF Home-Secretary AS

Morley was in favor of making conces-
sions on these questions to the irish
members of Parliament in order to Sc

The latter's return from Dublin mas

Defrinne estates, and the prosecution OF

POPULAR FRESHMEN PROSECUTED.
Eleven of the most popular men In
