This weeks debates in Parliament dealt chiefly
with Welsh Dlses,abshment. upon which there
was some excellent speaking, but II was purely
harmless glada torial display; nothing Will come
OF the bill The debate showed the hand OF the
assailants very clearly in one respect, namely
mat n successful attaci. upon the Welsh Church
would be Immediately followed by an assault
upon the Churches of Scotland and England
Last nights discussion upon Mr.. Da.zers pro-
posal of Home Rule al! r9Ynd was hardly serl-
oug business The only English speaker who ad-
vocated Home Rule for England was Mr.
Neville. The most prominent speaker on the Gov
eminent side in favor OF the resolution was Sir
George Trevelyan. Mr.. Redmond opposed the
scheme because il would delay tho accomplish
rnent of Irish aspirations. No Cabinet Ministers
were present during the debate. and though the
proposal was carried By a majority OF twenty
SIX. there were only $50 members present. or
about one-third Of the House. No serious poll
tician has the smallest hope Of seeing this little
Kingdom split up into four separate States
Whatever may be the report of the Inter
national Armenian Commission, it may be taken
for granted that Armenia will not be constituted
a separate state Jealousies among the Powers
will prevent the severe punishment which the
fiendish atrocities If the credibity of the re-

those whom they Regard with more contempt
than the worst STAKEHOLDER ever regarded his
slaves The creation of separate State under
Christian ruler might possibly be successful, but
Il is Idle to suppose that Russia would ever
agree to make another Bulgaria.
The story Of Mr.. Whistlers proposed duel and
the correspondence published by his quondam
friend Mr. George Moore. have deprived that &C.
centric artist of any sympathy that was at hrst
felt for him. 1t turns out that the portrait Of
Lady Eden which was the ground of dispute,
was only a sketch, twelve inches by six The
price. 100 guineas. does not therefore seem TOO
small and is al a higher rate than the charges or
Sir John Millais or GainsbOrough. Mr. Moores
contemptuous letter in reference to the proposed
duel naturally added fuel to the fire; especially
his remark that Mr.. Whistler was an old gentle
man. unhappily short-sighted. who could not see

of a wish that Mr. Whistler would apply himself
TO his art instead of wasting time quarreling
with his friends hits off the situation with accu-
racy.
