BY CABLE FROM LONDON.
Endeavors to SOlidify the Support
erS Of RoSebery.

LONDON, May 12.-The supporters
OF the ministry on every hand now
recognize the fact that it will be inn
possible to pass the Evicted Tenants
bill, the Welsh Church Disestablish-
ment bill, and the Registration bill
within the time permitted by the
present session, and under these cir
cumstances it is proposed that when
the House resumes its sittings after
the Whitsuntide recess the supporters
Of the Government in the House Of
Commons shall meet the ministry in
consultation, with a view to deter
mining the course to be followed in
the future. The Radicals have already
shown their hand to the extent of
intimating that when the meeting
takes place they will propose that
those portions of the Registration bill
which have aroused the greatest
opposition on the part of the Con-
servatives have already burdened the
bill with about 200 amendments, and
there is, therefore, no doubt that the
ministers will have no difficulty in
obtaining the consent of the meeting
TO the wholesale application of the
closure rule in eXpediting its passage.
1t will also be ascertained at the
meeting whether the disintegration of
The party has ceased or is still in
progress. 1t is now a settled fact that
the Parnellites are committed to q
policy of opposition to the Govern
ment, so that they are no longer
counted, but the attitude of several
Welsh members is extremely irreSO-
lutte, and these gentlemen must be
settled with, so that the whole reliable
body of supporters of the Government
may be so marshalled as TO enable the
ministry to meet the opposition in an
unwaveriug phalauX. The English
Liberals are greatly pleased and en-
coura ged by the loyalty displayed by
the irish party. The desertion of the
Parne lite faction to the Conservatives
might have inflicted a mortal wound
upon Home Rule if the main body of
the Irish Nationalist had failed to
support the Government in their full
strength on the occasion of the divis-
ion on the second reading of the
budget. Instead of turning their
backs upon the only friends they had
in Parliament as the Parnellites did,
the McCartheyites cast their votes for
the Government to man. This tidel-
ity to their political companions has
won for them the warm admiration of
the Liberals, and their action cannot
fail to find due recognition in the
future. In view of the probable early
dissolution of Parliament, the cleo
ton agents throughout the kingdom
have been warned by their respective
chiefs to get everything in readiness
for new general election.
Already large party purses have
been subscribed and the money is
flowing rapidly into the treasures of
the various constituencies. The fund
subscribed by the Conservatives is of
unusual magnitude, indicating their
intention to ''carry the war into Afri-
ca" in the coming struggle for office.
The National Reform Union have
called conference to meet in London
on June 5, when it is announced ac-
ton will be taken in regard to many
of the important questions of the day.
The resolutions to be passed by the
conference, some of which are already
formulated, include demands for the
abolition of the veto power of the
House of Lords, the passage of the bill
providing for Home Rule for Ireland,
manhood suffrage, the accession of
royal grants, the establishment of
the Church throughout the kingdom,
and an increase of the proportion of
taxation borne by land. The National
Reform Union represents the radical
section of the National Liberal Fed
Grafton, and about four hundred dele
gates will be present at the confer
ence, and thirty Radical members of
the House of Commons have promised
to support the measures the conference
advocates.
