RRITISH POLITICS.
Indications Point to Pitched Battle
Between the Opposing Forces.

Indications Point to Pitched Battle
Between the Opposing Forces.
LONDON, Feb. 11.-At last it looks as if
a general pitched battle, with all the
available forces on both sides, was going
to be fought in British politics. Urgent
signals are flying and trumpets are sound
ing all over the field, and sharp engage
ment on Parliamentary skirmish lines is
advertised for tomorrow.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has
gone to the length Of writing letter to
the Times, striving to reconcile their two
diametrically opposed attitudes. This has
evoked at best only contemptuous notice,
even from the Tory press.
Everything depends upon the strength
and staying power OF Salisbury's grip on
the Lords. There is no doubt on earth
about his wish to fight. His high spirit
and domineering methods have reduced
the whole situation to matter of boss
ism. His mastery only a few days ago
seemed supreme and unquestioned inside
the organization. Who can promise that
fortnight hence he will not stand practi-
cally alone? Such things have happened
before.
About the solidity of the Gladstonian
ranks there is no question. Here the
difficulty always lies in the fear that the
leaders are not wholly in earnest. In the
present cases [ believe something like
pledges have been given that no part of
the Liberal ground taken up by the Com
mons will be abandoned in compromise,
and that the Parish Councils bill will be
sent again to the Lords with every line OF
their amendments brusquely stricken
out.
In the meantime all machinery for pro-
ducing the effect of grand indignant
popular uprising will be set in motion,
beginning with a meeting of the Liberal
Federation at Portsmouth on Monday,
and we shall see if this once more scares
the Lords into turning tail and scurrying
away. Ii it fails then there will be fur in
the air.
Gladstone reached home to take charge
of the struggle last evening. The tram
was eighty minutes late, owing to the
boisterous condition of the channel, but d
huge Throng gathered earlier than the an
nOunced time of the trains arrival, and
swelled as the time went on till it over
flowed into Trafalgar square, and the
Whitehall platform was barred to all but
the press and some official Liberals. Both
close and open carriages were drawn up
for the veterans use, and for the first time
in his experience of his homecoming he
chose the latter and drove out bareheaded
beside his wife through the acclaiming
crowds. This daring of the sharp east
wind on February evening was accepted
as the least possible answer to the silly
rumors of his intended retirement. Per-
haps, also, it was designed as token that
he had come back full of fight.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-There will be
an effort on the part of the Senate during
the present week to clear up the calen-
dar as far as possible prior to taking up
the tariff bill, which, when reported to
the Senate, is expected to exclude consid-
Grafton of most other subjects.
The speechmaking during the week is
to be devoted to variety OF topics, in
Guiding the Stewart bond resolution. the
Turpie Hawaiian resolution, and prob
ably the resolution of Hale instructing
the Committee on Finance to grant hear
ings on the tariff bill. Gray and Daniel
have given notice of speeches on the
Hawaiian resolution on Monday, and
White of California is among the others
who will probably address the Senate
later in the week on this topic.
The bill to compel railroad companies
operating roads in the Territories over
rights of way granted by the Govern
ment to establish stations at all town sites
established by the Interior Department
is the unfinished business on the calen-
dar, and when disposed of the bill to pro-
the Government Printing Office will be
taken up and acted on as soon as practi-
cable.
II is believed the Committee on Judici-
ary will dispose of the Peckham nomina-
ton tomorrow, and if so, in all proba-
bility there will be at least one day during
the week devoted to an executive session,
for the purpose of passing upon this NOM
ination.
1t is expected that consideration of the
Bland seigniorage bill will be completed
in the House on Wednesday. To-mor-
row is district of Columbia Day, but
by special order the time after 3 o'clock
has been set aside for paying tribute to
the memory of the late Senator Stanford,
and fight will PROBABLY be made for the
three hours previous by Bland. When
the Bland bill reaches vote the general
expectation is that it will pass, after hav-
ing been modified in certain particulars
to meet the objections of Secretary Car
Isle to give him some latitude and dis
cretion in the issue of Treasury notes
against seigniorage and in the coinage OF
bullion. Thursday the ON eill-Joy con-
tested election case will come up, and by
agreement six hours will be devoted to
debate thereon. O'Neill will probably
be seated by almost a strict party vote.
The remainder of the week will be de-
voted to the fortihcation appropria-
ton bill.

TROUBLE is BREWING
GERMANY A AGAIN BOYCOTT
AMERICAN MEAT PRODUCTS.
Unless Congress Changes the Sugar
Clause of the Tariff Bill Our Ex-
pOrters May Lose a Growing Trade.

Copyright, 1894, by the Associated Press)
BERLIN, Oct. 6.-The news that the Ger
man ambassador at Washington has en-
tered a protest against the sugar duty
clause of the Wilson tariff bill has excited
general attention here. The Associated
Press correspondent called on Councillor
Hannah, of the Foreign Office, who has
the full confidence of Chancellor Won
Caprivi. The Councillor explained the Ger
man view of the matter, saying: Ger
many pays outright export premiums to
sugar-beet producers. France, Austria and
Russia pay higher premiums, but they do
not pay them outright. The German pro-
ducers, nevertheless, have outstripped all
competitors in the American trade. The
Wilson bill clause, however, discriminate
against Germany to her serious injury, as
the margin is so close that a tenth of a cent
a pound makes a great difference. This
discrimination certainly is not in accord
with the existing trade between Germany
and America, since we are entitled to the
most favored nations treatment. Besides.
while the Mckinley law was in force our
representative at Washington and the res
ident minister made an agreement that the
treatment of sugar imports from Germany
should not be changed. We, therefore,
contend that the clause imposes an extra
burden upon Germany alone which in
fringes existing agreements. The matter is
a serious one for US, as it concerns not only
the 600 or 400 sugar manufacturers of Ger
many, but also the agriculturists Of large
districts of Germany especially those of
Saxony, Brunswick and Anhalt, and, to
some extent, those of East Prussia, Posen
and Silesia, whose beet crops are affected"
Councillor Hannah continued: 'The gov
eminent still has hopes to come to an ami
cable entente, and there Is nothing men,
acing in our minister's protest. But, nat
urally, we may adopt retaliatory measures
in the event of the protest being unheeded.
Such retaliation would especially please our
big Agrarian party, as it would rid them of
American competition in breadstuffs and
