Morleys Irish land bill
The government supporters are firmly
convinced that it is possible to pass tho
anti-lords and registration measures be
fore the dissolution Of parliament, and
have instructed the managers throughout
the country to organize the agitation
against the House of Lords and to ar
range for demonstrations at various
points without delay. The National Re-
form Union has arranged a series of
meetings in the principal midland county
centers and the executive committee OF
the National Liberal Federation will car
ry on the agitation in the north and south
of England.
All over Great Britain the various local
liberal associations will respond to the i'm
petus from headquarters with alaCrttY
and the movement against the upper
house promises to become as enthusiastic
and widespread as any reform agitation
ever known in the country.
Lord Roseberry to-day visited Mr. Glad
stone for the purpose of consulting with
the ex-premier on the general position.
The ministers have been encouraged by
the success already attending their et
forts. A vigorous private canvass among
the wealthy Gladstonlans has already
realized for use in the campaign against
the lords and for election purposes nearly
$3.50 900. as the conservative papers allege.
The state of the election fund will enable
the executive committee to promote the
candidacy of number of workingmen
who are not associated with the socialists,
and of the independent labor candidates.
The conservatives, on their side, being
unable TO work the popular vein, will
send lecturers everywhere. The chief OF
these campaign lecturers is the author,
w II. Mallock, who will attempt to edu-
cate the public on the relations between
labor, capital and property.
Lord Salisbury will reluctantly assent
under pressure Of Joseph Chamberlain
for the Introduction in the House of
Lords of measures providing for old age
pensions for workingmen and for state
aid for artisans in securing dwellings
for themselves.
The Tory press treat Mr. Chamberlain's
schemes with suspicion, while the work
ingmen look upon them with an indiffer-
ence approaching contempt.
Lord Roseberry in his speech at the
lord mayors banquet in the Guild hall
last evening hinted at the possibility of
an entente with Russia being reached.
The prime minister did not reveal the
exact line of diplomacy to be followed
to reach the desired end, but stated that
II had received the sanction of the cab
met and would effect such an arrange
ment with Russia as would be counter
to the French policy.
An article which appeared in the Daily
News signed Diplomat" but known to
have been inspired by Lord Roseberry,
urges the settlement of both European
and Asiatic difficulties with Russia and
suggests the construction of extensive
Russo Asiatic railways to meet the STRAIT
egic lines in India, making continuous
trading connection. Diplomat argues
that every advance made by Russia in
Asia within assigned limits ought to be
welcomed not only without the least mis-
giving but with the most positive salts
faction. With regard to the effect upon
Europe of an entente such as the one
in view, DIPLOMA asserts that the
Dreibund has brought the natives of the
localities concerned to the verge Of bank
ruptcy with England and Russia friends,
however all Europe would be compelled
to follow their example. The monstrous
system now in vogue, he declares, cannot
survive to the end of the present cen
tury.
No policy such as advocated by "Diplo-
mat" however, has been foreshadowed
by any government organ, and 1t is gem
orally believed that Lord Roseberry
grounds his plans upon the hope that the
regime of Emperor Nicholas ii. will be
favorable to the establishment of close re-
lations between the two countries.
Lord Ripon secretary of state for the
colonies, will urge upon his colleagues
I'm the cabinet that a colonial conference
be shortly convened in London for the
discussion of such questions as were
treated at the similar conference recently
held in Ottawa, especially such as have
any relation to the United Kingdom. The
premier looks with favor on the pro-
posal. and whether or not such a con-
ference shall be held will be determined
after it shall be seen how the report Of
the Earl of Jersey, who represented the
British government at the ottawa con-
ference, is received.
The Prince Of Wales has ordered
Clyde-built yacht of less beam than the
Britannia, to be ready for next season.
Lord Dunraven will defer the definite
approval Of the designs submitted for his
new challenger for the Americas cup
until the conditions governing the con-
test for the trophy shall have been def
nitely settled.
The Field advocates the holding OF
conference Of leading yachtsmen Of Amer
lea md Great Britain on the rating rule.
The paper says the views OF the COM
mittee OF the New York Yacht Club. as
expressed In their report OF 1893, harmonlze
with the opinions OF the foremost yachts
men Of England, and adds. THAT re-
port was drawn by men Of clear cOncep-
lions as 20 what the rating rule should
