London. Aug. ls-Mr. Gladstone has recently
referred In private letters TO the improvement OF
his general health. his eyesgh. and hearing. ana
has spoken az II he might soon resume pubic
speaking These utterances have encouraged me
hope IN some quarters that he might return 10
Parliament and rescue his party from us pres
ent predicament This IL unlikely; yet should ne
give more definite signs OF his Willingness 70 re-
turn. he would be received by the Liberals with
open arms. The present leaders are leaders only
In name They arouse no enthusiasm.
Sir William Harcourt, Chancellor OF the FIX
cheu,ier and leader OF the House OF Commons.

again at the head OF the Liberal Commoners
When Parliament reassembles In the middle o'
January another will probably be found In his
place. for the breach between him ana l-oro
Rosebery is known to have widened rapldiy IN
the last weeks. They had been at odds Tor years
before the last Gladstone Cabinet was forfneo.

When the Evicted Tenants bill reappears IN
Parliament next session II will have been greatly
broadcned as 10 include most OF the rccoD-
mendations made by the Irish Land Committee:
II the House OF Lords throws II out again. LORD
Rosebery will dissolve Parliament at once and
appeal to the country to settle the whole question
OF the existence OF the upper house. The Gov
eminent have promised that the Evicted Ten
ants bill shall its course concurrently with
the Welsh Discstablishment bill This promise
does not satisfy some OF the Welsh members. and
they are out once more with their threats OF dire
vengeance IL the Ministers do not come up more
promptly to the Welsh demands David Lloyd
George the belligerent Welsh Nationalist who
sits for Carnarvon District, thinks that the GOV
eminent will again break faith with his country
men and that a general election must be held
before the Church In Wales can be disestablsheo
The Governments uncertain attitude toward the
Welsh and the Welshmen's suspicious attitude
toward the Government form one OF the most
serious problems TO be faced by the Liberal party
at the opening of the next session. a government
defeat may be the issue of the situation almost
any day after the business OF the session begins.
The rejection OF the compulsory eight-hour pro-
vision for miners has complicated matters In the
House OF Commons. 1t was due to the opposition

the Labor voters will refuse to make common

many districts The three-cornered contests
which will result will end with the loss OF sew

Sir Charles Dixie, Radical. has introduced In
Parliament remarkable woman suffrage bill.
His proposal Is that any woman Of full age,
whether married or single shall be permitted to
vote or to be a candidate In any Parliamentary
or local election A woman duly elected he pro-
