means deserted during the last few days. On Eastse

MR. PEEL MAY RETrRD
Several times last session there rumop
that Mr. Peel might resign his Office Speaks,
For the most part they were unworthy and dis
creditable reports emanating from and circulated
by those whom his frmness and impartialty kept
properly in check. Otherwise they were mere
g1esses, founded the observation of the obvious
strain put upon the Speaker by the longest and
fercest session record. Mr.. Peeps present In.
disposition mas not been serious. and he will be In
his place on Thursday according 10 present ex-
pectation but PROFESSIONALLY good authority Il
is being said that he will not offer himself again
to the House after dissolution. His loss will b
irreparable. and 1t is to be hoped that he may be
able to reconsider what there Is reason TO fear 10
his present intention.
THE QUEEN ~ FLORENCE
The Queen, who il much enjoying her stay IN
Florence Is in excellent health and very good
spirits Her Majesty met with slight accident at
Windsor Castle the day after her return there
from London. She had fall, which hurt her knee
but she is quite recovered. The Queen. how
ever scarcely put her foot the ground during the
last few days of her stay at Windsor, but was
drawn about in a chair both in the house and gar.
dens ard this was because Her Majesty had been
advised TO rest her knee entirely for week. She
never once left the train during the journey from
Flushing TO Florence. The Queen is to pay a rent
of 5000 francs for villa Fabbricott. which sum is
to be distributed by Count Fabbrlcotti among the
charities OF Florence.
ROYALTY BY THE SEA
The German Emperor and Empress are residing
in Abazza, villa Amaa, which is opposite to the
sea- and It has a very large veranda OF in
closed glass which OPENS out Of two drawing
rooms and is deliberately decorated in the Pom
peian style with pale yellow curtains and draperes
The villa which stands in beautiful garden. 10
splendidly decorated and furnished. and contains
thirty rooms. Villa Angelina, which is next to
Villa Amalia is the residence Of the Imperial chill
dren. An adjoining villa is occupied by the suites.
Everything is cooked for the Emperor and En-
press's family at the neighborng hotel. The
grounds of these villas down TO the sea, the
children have delightful playground
IRISH LEADERS TIRED OUT.
Though Mr.. Sexton, somewhat in the style OF the
Biarrtz telegram. has declared that he has no
intention OF resgning there is no doubt whatever
that before long the Irish Parliamentary party will
lose or more or those Few members VINO can be
said to give II air of responsibility. Probably
the first to go will be Mr.. Justin Mccarthy. His
health is not good he has plenty Of outside work
that he wants TO do, and he is tired. Who would
not be with the continual wrangngs around hmf
Nor does he stand alone in his retiring disposition.
Several other members OF the Anti-Parneite Sec
tion determined to cut their connection at the
first reasonable opportunity.
SCOTCH BUSINESS IN THE SESSION.
the session. which begins Thursday. will be the
Governments proposal to transfer Scotch business
to a Grand Committee. 1t their original Intent

bers there should only be appointed fifteen repre-
sentatves of English. Welsh and Irish interests.
Naturally this proposal caused deal Of dissatis.
faction. and in consequence OF representations
which have been made TO them the Liberal leaders
than likely 10 make juster proportion.
Meanwhile. all sorts OF sections are camoring for
similar concessions This is notably the Of
the London Radicals. but it is more than doubtful
whether their request will be granted. In any case
there will be keen debate on the devouton and 3
large attendance when the matter comes before the
House.
MR. MORLEYS SAD STATE.
At the present time it is probable that the most
unhappy politician in the country is Mr.. John Nor
ley The great nigh priest of anti-opportunism has
been compelled during the last eighteen months to
the Eight Hours bill. Now having suffered these
humiliations at the hands of Mr. Gladstone, he is
being obliged by Lord Rosebery 10 swallow what Is
practically the shelving OF Home Rule. Mr.. Nor
ley certainly occupies a trying position and being
himself fully conscious OF the fact, it is quite on
the cards that may hear of his resignation be-
fore another month has passed over our heads.
CHURCH APPOINTMENTS.
Considerable curiosity exists 10 the color OF
7 nrl fasffr NOR
opinions believed be very broad and his beau
ideal OF a cleric is alleged to be Prebendary Will
lam Rogers OF Balliol fame while 1t would not be
surprising il men OF the type of Prebendary Eyton
and Professor Shuttleworth to receive official
ntrnation Of an appointment.
NAVY RECRUITING.
The experiment OF recruiting 500 men from the
merchant service for the Royal Navy will excite
much curiosity and interest. Time when the
mercantile marine was naturally happy hunting
ground when seamen were wanted for the Queens
service but in those days all ships were OF wood
and all very much alike. \ seaman who knew his
trade was at home anywhere. But things very
different now. There is likely TO be considerable
difficulty In getting merchant bluejackets TO sub
nit TO the discipline OF a man-of-war for nineteen
pence day. the present wages OF an able seaman
II will take at least year to lick those who join
into some sort of useful shape. But scarcely any
worth having will be likely to join II this
Idea is wrong there will be no need to limit the
number to 500.
THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE HOME.
The Duke and Duchess OF Newcastle spent
few days In Rome the Palazzo Doria on his
way home from India that the Duke might see
his sister. Princess Dora. and his mother, who are
staying there. They have now arrived at Clumber
The Dukes health was much benefited by his tour
around the world although the consequences OF the
riding accident he met with In India might havs
been very serious
