London, Feb. 1.-THE liberals plan to
triumph over the peers by compelling
them TO abandon their amendments TO the
parish councils bill They are hopeful of
success but they may experience a sharp
set back next week. 1t is not improbable
that the peers will declare their adhesion
to certain points which the government
consider impossible. The conservatives
in the House of Commons have surrend-
cred, but not all Questions concerning
the control Of charities, the
allotments, the poor law and boards
of guardians and the reform of the Lon
don vestries are still bones of contention
between the government and the opposi-
tion. These questions must be settled in
the governments favor before the liber-
ais can truthfully boast of compelling the
assent Of the peers to the programme of
the commons. If Lord Salisbury should
concede everything involved in the dis

ence to the personal wishes OF the queen,
who is known to dread an open con-
flict between the two houses. She is
convinced that such a conflict would
cause universal clamor for the abolition
Of the hereditary lawmakers, and the
same conviction has before this caused
her to interfere, notably in 1884 when the
two houses quarreled seriously over the
redistribution of seals under the fran
chise reform. The queen then summoned
the Duke OF Richmond and made him an
intermediary for the settlement Of the
questions at issue between Lord Sails
bury and Mr. Gladstone.
POPULAR DISLIKE INCREASED.
Since then popular dislike Of the herid-
itary privileges Of the upper house has
become intensified and the royal family
knows that II an attack upon these prlvi-
leges be once fairly organized, it will soon
effect the prerogatives of the crown For
these reasons the queens influence has
been exerted already to induce the tory
peers to act with greater prudence.
Whatever may be the result of the
queens interference, many liberals and
all the radicals feel that the time is ripe
to limit the power of the lords to veto
the decisions of the commons. No sur
render of the lords on existing issues is
likely to modify the determination of
these men to deal radically with the
upper house AS the tories have per.
petual control of the peers, they hold and
will hold the power to wreck all liberal
legislation They have not
hesitated to reject the home
rule bill; they have made every
effort to destroy the employers liability
and parish councils bills.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT SESSION.
They have already made their prepara.
lions to defeat in the next parliamentary
session the Welsh disesta blishment To-
cal option. and registration bills. With
tory oligarchy permanently ruling the
country, the liberals ask how 1t will be
possible to proceed with any reform. The
speaker voices the opinion Of the best
minds in the party when IL demands that
the power of veto of the peers shall be abo,-
ished while the House of Lords shall be
allowed to stand as venerable ruin, con-
tinulng such customs as are completely
harmless
The Radical Star, T. p. O'Conner's old
daily. suggests: The cabinet ought To
end the trouble by adding to some impor-
tant bill the declaration of the House of
Commons that it lis against good govern
ment that the lordsinterfere herewith. ,"
Another proposal is that the House of
Commons shall refuse to vote the salaries
of the officials of the upper house, thus
giving the peers summary notice to Quit.

THE ANARCHISTS OF LONDON.
The explosion near Greenwich observa-
tory on Thursday evening has caused
vast amount Of newspaper talk concern
ing the dangers Of anarchism in England
An official well acquainted with the
methods and personnel Of the anarchist
colony here said that there were hardly
a dozen militant anarchists of English
birth in the city The colony was made
up, he said, of squalid nobodies,
wretehedly poor and without organiza-
tion as party. These men, he thought,
were powerless to do much harm. The
French, Swiss, and Belgian anarchists,
he said, did not constitute, either individ-
ually or collectively, such a dangerous So
cial factor in London as sensat tional po-
lice reports had indicated.
NEW THREE-KEELED BOAT.
Commodore Hodge has brought out
new three-keeled boat at Cowes. The
first trial which was made yesterday, ex-
ercised the interest Of yachtsmen
throughout the country.
AS the wind was light, it was hard ~
possible, however, to test the ability Of
the new model to Counteract the tendency
to roll in heavy seas. A notable feature
of the boats work yesterday was the alb
sence of side wash. She sailed close 10
the wind, ran well, was quick in stays,
and turned in her own length. Among
the other advantages claimed for her is
increased stability, greater carrying ca
patty, high speed and greater ease in
handling and steering.
