interest in financial circles in Berlin,
and more so in Austria. Austria and
Hungary each requires 120000,000
forins in gold to complete the cur
rency conversion, and the prospect
of the United States draining gold
from Europe excites anxiety among
the Rothschilds syndicate, which is
working the Austro- Hungary con-
version. Financiers calculate that
the cost of the Austrian currency re-
forms will become greatly enhanced
IT Cleveland's plans are approved.
HOME RULE SICK.
Sections resignation from Parlia-
ment is attributed to sulks over the
Freeman's Journal discussions. John
Dillon and William O'Brien are &C
cused of devoting their energies,
since they came out of jail, to un-
doing the work of national rescue
from chaos which was performed
during their confinement. They are
not bad men, but they are ingrained
cyclists, wholly unable to conceive
of anything helpful being done in
Ireland or in Irish politics which
does not recognize their heaven-born
leadership.
So says Harold Frederic by cable
to the New York Times, relating at
the same time the story of how these
men captured the Freeman's Journal
from the men who had fought the
| fight for it and owned IT,
! The same despatch has the follow
ing dispiriting news for home rulers:
Poor old Gladstone departed for
Brighton yesterday afternoon to
snatch two days rest from his great
burden, all unconscious of this wan
tonly vexatious addition to it being
piled up in the committee-room of
fifteen. No kilograms apprising him
we're sent down last night, but to-
day two Ministers have gone down
privately to discuss the situation in
fear that this new revelation may
affect his nerve and depress his
spirits. The most disturbing feature
of the whole wretched affair is the
circulation of various versions of his
reported remark that he does not
expect to live through the summer
These are now widely circulated
through Parliament and the Liber-
ais are gloomier than at any time
since the election a year ago.
FIRST AMERICAN AMBASSADOR.
Thomas w. Bayard, the first Am
bassador to London, received an
ovation on landing at Southampton
in the steamer Paris. In replying
to an address of the Chamber Of
Commerce he referred to his passage
in steamer under the American
flag, saying he was sure she was the
precursor of fleet of vessels Amer
lean built, finer and faster, which
would ply between the United States
and Southampton. He congratu-
lated the citizens of Southampton
upon selecting their home as the
terminus in Europe of such an ex-
tended commerce as the future would
develop. He said he valued his Off
cial designation chiefly as means
of giving greater facilities to more
perfectly bring about harmony of
interests between two great branches
of the English-speaking races. Bay
ards manner and words captivated
everybody.
BRITISH PRoTECToRATE WANTED IN SPAIN.
Riots have broken out in Corunna,
their cause being the indignation
aroused, against taxation arising for
military reforms. The Provincial
Defense Association is circulating
pamphlets advocating that the pro-
vince ofNCorunna should be placed
under British protectorate. The
movement is of a local character
and does not extend to other parts
of Spain, but the authorities appear
to be alarmed by the agitation, and
have ordered troops to be concen-
trated promptly to suppress the dis
} orders.
