HARCOURT FOR PREMIER.
TRYING TO GUST ROSEBERY.
LIBERALS START A MOVEMENT TO TEST
SIR WILLIAMS STRENGTH.


PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF
WALES FRIGHTENED.
London July IA haze of intrigue so en-.
velops the inner life Of Parliament that It IL i'm
possible TO say whether or not Sir William Har-
courts threats to resign his seat and the Leader
ship OF the Liberal party in the House OF COM
are genuine who is likely to be his
cessor If he retres. 1t is certain however that
he has sent to his colleagues intimation that
his physicians have advised him TO take an abso-
Lutte rest and he therefore desires to retire from
Parliament at the end OF the session But his ad-
herents in the House Of Commons obtaining
signatures to a proposal to entertain him at q
banquet at the National Liberal Club. The pro-
motors Of the movement privately urge that II q
sufficient number Of Liberals sign the invitation
it will influence Sir William Harcourts decision
to continue in the Parliamentary Leadership Of
the party. and nearly 200 Liberal members have
already signed. The banquet will be limited to
Liberal members of the House OF Commons and
will be held ostensby TO celebrate the passage
Of the Budget 1t is really designed however, to
ascertain how many members would adhere to
Harcourt in struggle to Gust Lord Rosebery
from the Premiership. No member OF the Cabinet
has been solicited to sign the invitation The
probable outcome will be that Sir William Har-
court will temporarily retire from Parliament,
leaving the question Of the Liberal Leadership In
the House Of Commons in doubt
John Morley, II. Campbell Bannerman and
Home Secretary Asquth have fractional follow
ings in their aspirations to the leadership. and
this undoubtedly would threaten 80 to disor-
ganize the party to lead TO a united appeal
for the return Of Sir William Harcourt In such
event he could dictate the displacement Of
Lord Rosebery. Referring to the question of his
resignation Sir William himself tells his friends
that he has not the remotest intention OF going
into the House Of Lords II he returns to poll
tics his labors will be performed in the House
Of Commons.
Among the complex negotiations in the lobby
OF the House OF Commons is a proposal that Mr..
Chamberlain. at the head OF most OF the Liberal
dssidents shall return TO the Liberal fold and
assume the leadership Of the party. Few people
believe, however, that Mr.. Chamberlain would
recant on the question Of Home Rule for Ireland.
and fewer still believe that he would ever again
be trusted by the mass OF the members OF the
Liberal party This report merely illustrates the
internal confusion into which the Government
parties are plunged. The McCarthyite section Of
the Irish party. whose sOlidity OF votes and
steadfastness Of purpose make them power in
the selection Of a new Liberal chief would sup
port John Morley as the successor Of Sir William
Harcour,. Mr.. Morley is now in Ireland en-
deavoring TO arrange with the landlords a modl-
ficaton Of the Evicted Tenants bill which Will
induce them to abandon their opposition to the
measure
Justin Mccarthy, with the assent OF his col
leagues has consented to give the whole OF the
next session to British measures providing the
cipia ~
Home Rule by resolution. thus enabling the
Government at the close Of the session to go
before the country and show that the leading
proposals Of the Newcastle programme have been
dealt with.
The money comprising the Paris fund OF the
Irish National party will not be available for
four months: the French law insisting upon an
interval or three months between the legal APP
peal for the money and its payment. Mr..
McCarthy's signature will command over fSO,O0o.
and for the remainder Patrick Egans signature
is also required 4 large part Of the fund ought
go to the evicted tenants but there Is no legal
or moral reason why a portion Of the money
should not be devoted to the necessities or the
party.
The Cabinet has been summoned TO meet In
council on Tuesday to consider Lord Salisburys
Alien bill In spite Of Lord Roseberys strong
denuncation Of the anu-Ararchist section OF the
measure some Of the Ministers favor revival

archists Lord SaSbury's proposal 10 give
supreme power 10 the Home Secretary IN the
matter Of the expulsion or foreigners, however.
