tinues to be circulated and believed In financial
circles it causes keen excitement. which re-

Mr.. Gladstone will return to Downing Street
on Wednesday. The declared hostility of the
Parnellites. under the Redmond brothers, to the
Ministry has Quickened the Unionist percep-
tion and the Opposition leaders think they now
see a good opportunity to defeat the Govern
ment. The UniOnist whips will send out espc-
cially urgent messages appealing to Conserva-
tives and Liberal-UniOnsts to be present at the
earliest possible moment. Joseph Chamber
lain the Liberal nionst leader. who did not
expect to return from the United States until
the end of November, will hasten home to
help Mr. Bafour and Lord Randolph Churchill
in their effort to turn Mr. Gladstone out. The
present situation would be changed greatly in
the Ministry's favor If Mr.. Asquith Home Sec
rotary and MI Morley, Chief Secretary for
Ireland would agree to soothe the disaifected
Irish members by releasing several political
prisoners. Such a course. together with as
surances that the evicted tenants would re-
ceive help soon would avert the opposition Of
the Parnellites and inspire with new courage
the anti-ParnelliteS.

cheapness of silver is tempting other native
rulers to follow his example. Although coins
struck by them could not circulate legally in
British India. the people are so accustomed to
regarding coined and uncoined silver as OF
equal value that silver bars could be easily
utilized for payments on the same terms with
rupees.

had a special arrangement for connecting its
