The defeat of the Liberal party s candi-
dates Ina the bye-eection in FOrfarshire
ard Rrigg OF North Lindsay division, has
struck q chill 10 the hearts of the LIB
erals The announcement OF the results
IN the Brlgg district fell like the pail Of
doom upob the crowd assembled In the
National Liberal club. These Liberal de-
fests are held 10 prove that the cries OF
the party against the House of Lords ana
IN favor of the disestablishment of the
Church in Wales. etc, are failing OF ell
feet asairst the reaction towards the
Inionist policy. especially in regard TO
the social reforms initiated by Joseph
Chamberlain The Conservative organ

party's candidate 20 the combined opera
tions Of numerous Ulster delegates VINO
are now paid TO act as canVassers IN
opinion prevails in Liberal circles that the
Cabinet must reconsider its position.
7HY GOVERNMENT MAY FALL.
4 movement was started to-day by the
National Liberal club. which is strongly
supported by the party generally, demand
ing the Cabinet summon general meet
ing of the Liberal members of the House
of Commons for the purpose of ascertain
ing the exact condition of affairs. Nomi-
~ ont ygfg .
OF fifteen in the House, but the secession
Of Henry Labouchcre and Sir Charles
Dixie is threatened unless they are salts
fed that the Cabinets measure for the
reforming OF the House OF Lords has the
adherence of at least twelve Radicals.
The Redmonditcs declare their intention
TO vote with the Uuiouists if the anti
Lords resolution obtains the precedence
OF the Home Rule measure In the consld-
GRAFTON of the House. The Government
obviously will fan unless the Radicals
bo placated. and In any event Will be IN
continual peril of the formation of CO.
ahtion between the Unonists and Par
Heliitcs.
Within the Cabinet diecord undoubtedly
exists as TO the treatment of the House
of Lords matter. Lord Rosebery, Lord
Spencer and the Earl Of Kimberly
with Gladstone i'm the background
are i'm favor Of reforming the
Peers. while Campbell Banncrman As
ouith Morley and Harcourt advocate
the abolition of the upper house. SO iar
have these ministers views advanced
that Campbell -Banncrnan. in speech
on Thursday last declared that 1t would
be foolish and mischeivous 10 maintain
second chamber, whether hereditary or
elective. and that if any be allowed TO
exist. ID must not Doc vested with power
60 override the legislation adortcd by
the first.
Il is probable that the Ministers will
meet the party with a proposal relative
90 the House of Lords which VIII secure
the adhesion OF the Radicals.
n,GFouH TO NAhE a TEST.
Mr. Bafour will test the strength Of the
Government al the coming session by
moving am amendment in the address
reply to the speech from the throne, IN
sisting upon the immediate necessity for
the production of the anti-Lords propo-
sails The opposition will have very
strong case. as according 20 every pre-
Cedcnt of the House of Commons, when
any great constitutional change Is an
nounccd il should be dealt with without
delay. If the Government shall prove 10
have a bare majority dissolution VIII be
imperative.
The Prince Of Wales has taken heartily
10 the diplomatic game. Instead or rest
ing over night in London on Thursday,
where Count Tornielli- Brusau de Nerga-
no the retiring Italian Ambassador TO
Great Britain. who Is TO succeed Baron
de Marochetu as Italian Ambassador at
ST. Petersburg, was being entertained
Lord Rosebery and the Earl Of Kimberly
were also at Windsor Before the reurlhg
Ambassador left the castle he had an in
tarview with Lord Kimberly, and subse-
quently the queen granted an audience
to the Prince the Count and the two
Ministers.
The inference generally drawn from
their interview Is that the Anglo-kussiah
raproachement is not intended TO eHect
in any way the relations between tne
Governments of Great Britain and Italy
The Simultaneous presence Of four gen
erations-re represented by the Queen the
Prince of Wales. the Duke of YORK, ana
the latter's son-at Windsor Is tact
unique in the history Of the English
monarchy.
THE ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.
The communications from the Porte
10 the British Foreign Office indicate that
the line OF defence TO be pursued regard
ing the Armenian atrocities will be that
the Armenians and Kurds were engaged
in civil war and that outrages were
committed by both sides. Turkish reSu-
lars were called upon to suppress the
feud. ana finding the Armonians entrench-
ed. called upon them TO surrender.
The Armenians refused aud were there
