RoseLery's Unsteady Seat.

The majority by which the evicted-
tenants bill was thrown out Of the House
of Lords affords pretty good evidence that
that body attaches very little Importance
TO the crusade against the upper cham
Der. The fact IS. the movement to end or
mend the hereditary house seems TO have
practically ended with the farcical Leeds
meeting. 1t was confidently predicted that
If the Lords did reject the bill, the move
ment would be revived, but so far the
prediction has not materlalized in any
aggressive form.
There have been here and there indi-
vijual sporadic agtatiOns Of the question.
but no man Of any weight seems 10 en-
terrain seriously the idea that it Will be
made a party issue.
As the situation presents itself now, the
Rosebery government seems in infinitely
more danger from the Irish question than
are the Lords. The Irish and English
Radical supporters of the Government are
showing in very pronounced fashion that
they are becoming disguised with what
they term the fast and loose" policy
OF Rosebery touching Ireland. and it
would not be a matter of surprise if they
forced a dissolution of Parliament or the
Premiers resignation. Some of the most
patient and conservative of the Irish lead
ors in the House of Commons have allied
themselves on occasions with the oppo-
sition obstructionsts in the hope of
eyoking from the Government a declara
tlon Of a fixed policy. but failed. AS 4
consequence, the whole Irish and Radical
camp is in state of mind which
threatens open mutiny.

Here is the point upon which the ac-

the assumption that he ought to have

Tho War in the East.

In the matter Of reliability, or rather
unreIiabIlity, the Chinese and japanese
war cablegrams seem to DO about on a
mr. with the advlces that were printed
from day 10 day during the recent Bra
lillian revolt. Reports OF operations IN
Korea reach us this morning only to be
contradicted tomorrow morning, ana the

There is one report. however. when
has remained unchallenged and uncontra-

III. King OF Korea has declared himseit
independent of China, renowned the suze-
rainty treaty of 1882. and appealed 10
Japan TO help him drive the Chinese out
Of Korean territory.
If this be true It Of course greatly In
creases the chances that the japanese
will come out OF the war the victors
provided England and Russia do not In
tervene. II appears to have already been
demonstrated that the Chinese cannot
cope successfully with the japanese upon
the sea, and IL seems to be conceded tha'
tho latter have but little to fear on land
except from the Mantchus. whom the real
Chinese bitterly detest. 1t is understood
that the Mantchus command the land
approach TO Korea. but It would be very
difficult for them to make much progress
from that base in the face Of the united
japanese and Korean forces. Indeed, 1t

The Inmigration Convention.

There can be no question that immigra-
ton is looking southwark. In the north
west. especially. there are many persons
whom the rlgors Of the climate have long
disposed 10 seek homes at the South, and
that disposition has been greatly acc.n-
tuated by the recent labor troubles.
Nhile many of the northern and western
cities were for weeks virtually at the
mercy Of mobs. the South, as rule,
was the home of law and order.
However. a great deal Of prejudice
nganst the South and ignorance as to the
situation here st!n prevail in the North
and west. and these barriers to imnigra-
ton can only be overcome by continued
and persistent representation Of facts.
In view of these considerations the time
Fixed FOR holding the Exposition Immigrar
sion Convention is exceedingly opportune.
Me take it that one Of the chief aims OF
the convention viii be TO present the In
cucements that Virginia offers TO immi-
grants in a manner that will impress and

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The recent destruction by fire Of the

often entered the mind Of the writer OF

the venerable old State and Confederate

destruction Of that old building Not

OF Houdon's statue or Washington would
be a calamity the world might deplore.
No other statue Was ever taken from the
living Washington. Houdon, then
ranking as the first sculptor I'm Europe,
came to Mt. Vernon in October. i7Sj, and
spent two weeks in modelling Tor his
statue.
The affectlonate providence of Washing
tons native State in this statue best
presents his form and features TO pos
