DURING THE REVIEW AT oLDERsHo-

| ter)-The week at Cowes promises to be a brilliant one. The distinguished assem- blaze will include Emperor William of Germany, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York and the Duke of Connaught, while the queen, the Princess of Wales | and Princesses Victoria and Maud will be at Osborne, near by. Yachts are daily arriving at Cowes. On Thursday Empe- TOT William on the imperial yacht Elo- henzollern, accompanied by five German warships, will arrive. The usual fash ionable crowd is already filling the hotels. | As the opinion grows that the retire. | ment of the Duke of Cambridge as com mander-in-chief of the forces will be de- ferred and the succession of the Duke of Connaught to the command of the army be confirmed, the discontent deepens. The movement emanates almost entirely from the queen, who clings to views i'm bibed from the Iron Duke, the royal con sort, Peel, John Russell, Palmerston, Beaconsfield and other statesmen that | royalty nearly related to the sovereignty ought to be at the head of the army. Nobody doubts that Lord Salisbury, with his present backing will comply With the queens wishes. The court is bringing vigorous pressure on the Duke of Devonshire to make him renounce his | recommendation to his own committee. The queen has sent to both Lord Sails bury and the Duke of Devonshire a long memorandum embodying her views in re- gard to the army Her majesty hopes to be enabled to prove to her grand son, Emperor William, next week, that the British sovereigns hold on the army is not materially less than is his on the Ger man army. If possible she hopes in some indirect manner to use the Kaiser to in- l fiuence the government to effect her pur- pose.
 During the week Emperor William goes to Aldershot for a field day with the troops. The Duke of Connaught's brigade, with several volunteer battal- ions. will take part in the display, which VIE commence with grand march ss4ktf,szskR kRhas.phele affair has been ar ranged especially with the view of giving | Hhe Duke of Connaught chance to i'm press his nephew and the public. The emperor probably will be induced to make some pronouncement lauding his uncle's handling of the troops.
 The govrnment, in accepting the nom- nation of MT. William Court Gully as speaker of the house of commons, to which position he was elected on the retirement of the Rt. Hon. Arthur w. Peal, now Viscount Peal, has avoided the first pitfall in it's career. The only per sons who regret the governments daring not to oppose MT. Gullys reelection are the extreme radicals who say that if
 
 have given them the whip and the whole life of parliament.
 If one of the political opponents occu- pied the chair and vigorously suppressed that construction he would be accused of partial;ty: whereas, MT. Gully, who was originally the nominee of MT. Henry La Bouchere, the radical leader, would not have been elected except for the radi- cal and Irish votes. The conservatives are. willing to retain him in office, as he i,; 1ie,,, tf, int in der.
 Among the first topics that will be brought up for discussion when parlia- ment meets on the 18th instant, will be the election of Dynamiter Daily to rep resent Limerick in the house. On the 18th MT. Balfour will move the produc- ton of proof of Daly's conviction of par ticipation in the dynamite outrages, and on the 18th will move the issue of new election for Limerick.
 The Parnellites ntend to raise the question of amnesty, but Speaker Gully will probably rule that it is rrevelant. As Daly is now in Portland prison, this fact in itself renders his election void. It is understood that the only bill that will be passed before the adjournment of the
 house will be the postponing of the fixing
 of judicial rents in Ireland until 1S96, in
 view of the government land purchase
 scheme that will then be introduced.
 The summonesses to the government
 SnDDOrte1S III tne nOuSt OI CoHiiiioBs,
 even to the liberal unionists, have all
 been issued by MT. Balfour as the gov
 crnment leader in the house. This fact,
 taken in connection with speech deliv-
 cred last night by MT. Chamberlain at
 dinner given to him by the Birmingham
 Conservative club, indicates the eventful
 fusion of the two sections of the unioniSt
 party. the conservative and liberal union-
 ists
 The estimates are likely to be passed
 at the beginning of September. After
 the adjournment parliament Will not
 meet again until February.
 q If is creditably reported that Prime
 Minister Salisbury will shortly cause to
 be created several peers including Sir
 Algernon Borthwick Baron de Worms
 and MT. James Lowther, all members or
 the house of commons, and Sir Edward
 Malet British Ambassador to Berlin,
 whose intention to retire from the djplo-
 mafic service has already been mentioned
 in the dispatches of the United Press.
 Lord Salisbury will also raise Lord Lon
 donderry to a dukedom and appoint him
 to succeed Lord Lansdowpe, secretary
 of state for war, who will have rendered
 to him an offer to succeed Sir Edward
 Malet or Lord Dufferin. British ambas-
 sador to France, who will also shortly
 retire.
 The queen will entertain next week at
 Osborne house, her residence on the Isle
 of Wight, Lord Salisbury, MT. Balfour,
 the Duke of Devonshire and MT. Cham
 berlain, all of whom are members of the
 cabinet. They will meet Emperor Will

 The Daily News. the morning liberal
 organ, yesterday published an article
 in which it dealt in a most generous
 manner with Lord Salisbury's foreign
 policy It said that as secretary of state
 for foreign affairs he had always been
 cautious, prudent and circumspect, and
 added that his share in the partition of
 Africa in 1891 was taken in closer con-
 cert with Germany than with any other
 power.
 The liberals, it further said. certainly
