The Speaker today says: During
the week ending Wednesday the Bank
of England has received nearly el,OOO.-
600 sterling in gold, and it is known
further immense sums are en- route,
Silver is rising like everything else,

China and Japan, and, though the
advance is not yet great there must be
a further rise il the demand from the
far East continues"
Very little of Importance transpired
during the past week, but there was an
exceedingly lively time OIL account of
the obstruction tactics of the Irish
members, led principally by Timothy
NJ. Healy, who a ably assisted by
DIR. Tanner. MI. Healy now seams to
have completely distanced John Dillon
in the ace for the leadership of the
Irish parliamentary party, while Justin
McCarty appears to have entirely dis
appeared from active politics and there
are inc in circulation that he will
shortly retire from any further parti-
cipation in parliamentary work. The
situation, in many respects, is similar
to that created in 1886 by the ingenious
tactics of the late Charles Stewart
Parnell, but with the differences that
MI. Healy cannot hope to succeed in
the face of the big Tory majority.

claimed that it is the deliberate policy
