The methods which the party intend to
employ are not calculated to attract at
tention. They expect to achieve their
object by means Of protest and pressure
in the committee, believing that they will
not have to rely upon a division.
THE ANGLo-BELGIAN CONVENTION.
1t seems certain that the Anglo. Belgian
convention will not be put into operation
for some time 10 come, if, indeed il goes
into effect at all, and, in any case, it will
without doubt, be considerably modified.
Though the differences between France
and England are acute, the
ministry OF neither country is
stable enough at present to
adopt drastic enforcement Of its views
One significant evidence of this is the fact
that the sweeping assertion of NJ Hano-
taux, foreign minister, in the French
Chambe of Deputies day before yester-
day that the Alglo- Belgian convention
was null and void. was modified in the
official report of the processing by the
addition of the words until further in
formation is received" M HauOtaux.
resting his objection on the ground that
the territory which England had Ceded
belonged TO Turkey, was a clever move,
raising the question Of Englands contin-
ued occupation of Egypt. A great many
English politicians are much displeased
at the haphazard partition of Africa, and
suggest the holding of conference in
which the present vague spheres of infiu-
ence may be better defined and the aues-
tion as to what constitutes annexation
made plain. But the belief that the pres
ent ministries of France and England
will not be long lived is likely to postpone
such action, and there is a tacit under
standing among the responsible French
politicians that they shall not raise sharp
issues If they can be avoided until after
the presidential election in November.
RosEBERBY AND THE TURF.
The newspaper battle over Lord Rose
berry's connection with the turf con-
tinues with more bitterness than ever.
The provincial journals have Joined in the
hue and cry, and it is noteworthy that
several Scotch newspapers which were
among the strongest supporters of MIR.
Gladstone have bitterly attacked Lord
Roseberry's horse racing proclivities,
comparing MIR. Gladstone's scholarly pur-
suits with Lord ROse0errys partaking in
what they call d carnival of ras-
cality." Several defenders of Lord
Rose6crry have written open letters
to the newspapers, stigmatizing the
hypocrisy of these anti-gamblng protests,
when at the same time the Young Mems
Christian Association has rapturously
welcomed American millionaircs whose
fortunes are due to speculations which
throw the heaviest Derby bet into the
shade. 1t is stated that unless Lord
RoseberrY retires from the turf at the
end Of the present session, the liberals
will place the matter before him in a
strong and authoritative form. This is
Just the sort. of thing that would make
lord Roseoerfy u con irmed turtle.
THE SCOTCH MINERS.
The projected strike of the Scotch coal
miners is not likely to be serious or pro-
longcd. The pinority, who did not wish
and voted against a strike, are strong and
determined. The resolution was carried
by a vote of % to IA, and it is believed in
many quarters that this does not show
sufficient unanimity to guarantee success.
The strike is not to begin until June 25,
which leaves an interim during which
the differences between the owners and
the miners may be arranged.
YACHTING PROSPECTS.
The yachting prospects are now being
much discussed. The opening DAYS OF
the season have been uninteresting.
owing to the raw weather 1t is re-
marked that the Vigilant and the Da-
kotah have had their framework strength
ened by means of angle irons extending
from the deck beams to the floor. The
English yachtmen seek comfort in racing
for defeats by hoping that the English
yachts will not need these awkward hull
supports in making passage across.
Every one is lauding the phenomenal
speed of the Dakotah.
BAYARD HoNoRED.
United States Ambassador Bayard has
been elected to the Twenty-One Club,
which consists of the deputation of the
honorable artillery company, of which the
Prince of Wales is commander and which
visited Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia.
The Statist, in an article discussing at
length the financial outlook in the United
States, advises the immediate withdrawal
and cancellation of greenbacks, which, il
is believed, would restore confidence, as
suming that the American government
has made up its mind to restore a gold
standard at whatever cost. This ought
to be followed by reform Of the banking
system without delay.
Lord Randolph Churchill is much
broken in health. 1t is upon the advice
of his friends that he has decided to take
a long rest and recuperative tour of the
world.
