rospos. June 24.-Mr. Gladstone's now
scandal plan in the Homo Rule bill Is received
9TH various emotions by his own supporters.
I, cannot be denied that some Liberals in
parliament arc much disappointed. Tho
rnionist party arc too sangutne In their expec-
t.tiop OF seeing the bill wrecked on the rock Of
nav proposals. These proposals have. 1t Is
tvus created o minor crisis In the tate OF tho
Mn. but am assured BY high home rule au-
horty that all OF the Irish members who fol-
inv Justin MoCarthy's lead will support the
Goyernmen mt and accept the substituted scheme
Of finance.
John Redmond and his eight Parnelllte COL
leagues threaten on tho other hand to oppose
Tho scheme. and tho Tory opposition rest
their hopes OF their early defeat Of the Gov
,rnment and It's Irish measure upon this
threat The detection Of nine votes, counting
slahtecn on division. would give q serious
,hoek to the Ministry. but 1t would not give q
majority to the enemies OF homo rule or
cause Mr.. Gladstone to tender his resignation
10 tho Queen. It is just possible that Redmond
may prudently reconsider the unwisdom Of
his action whom he realizes the fact that Bal
four and Chamberlain applaud his policy and
,re prepared to employ both 1t and him for the
purpose OF killing the bill Mr.. Redmond
would not DO eheered by the Unionist mem
bsrs II he was taking what they considered to
DO the best course for the Irish cause and tho
worst line for It's foes.
There is still no indication what policy Mr.
Gladstone will adopt for overcoming the per-
sstent obstruction OF tho Unionists. Four
clauses Of the bill have been disposed Of In
committee. but tho end seems as far of as
ever
The great naval disaster has naturally given
ssudden check to the public gossip about and
preparation for the royal Wedding. The new do
mand upon public charity for the relief OF tho
widows and orphans Of the Victoria victims
will probably put q salutary stop to some Of
tho phases Of wedding present begging. There
have been collections OF o shilling each from
al men with the surname George. three pence
from all women married In July. six pence
from oil women born in May. six pence from
women between % and 30 years old. and so on
adnausednl It Is not surprising that there has
been some sharp public resentment OF this un-
authorized begging. which has not stopped
short OF penny collections In the public schools
and other institutions.

are coming to hand. There have been many
sudden banishments Of persons in authority.
and the highest officials Of the empire are evi-

A case OF this kind occurred recently. A

granted. and he had q conversation with
u!e'ad Pasha on a private matter. Re-
turning to his hotel, tho visitor found awaiting

requested him to accompany him 10 the Yildiz

questioned as to the visit, by one OF the Sultan's
secretaries. lie replied evasvely. Tho secre-
@ry thanked him. and he withdrew. Mean
while tho Grand Vizier had sent report of tho
interview to the palace. The Sultan, observing
this did not tally with tho account given by thu
