London, Aug. 4.-As the executive COM
nittees of both the National Liberal Fed
Grafton and the Central Liberal Associa-
1ion. which mainly holds the party purse,
have hesitated to convene a general ma
tiouaI conference, the political committee
Of the National Liberal Club has taken
upon itself the responsibility of summon
ing a congress for Oct %. This action
marks new party departure Of the great
est moment and will more than ever CEN
tralze the control Of the London and pro-
yincial organizations within the National
Liberal Club the strongest element in
which it is radical.
1t will cause a root and branch reform
in the National Liberal Federation and
lead to the institution of permanent eau
Gus, which viii give orders to instead of
receiving them from the party whips, who
have hitherto dominated and ruled the
committees Of the federation. The initial
impetus Of this change in government is
aroused by a series of radical committee
meetings. at which the collapse of the
liberal party was discussed in all it's bear
ings.
The committee suggested that the feder-
alton be reconstructed by the free election
of all the committees and officials,so as to
make the body the living representative OF
democratic force. The existing officials,
whips and other hole and corner nominees
do not approve Of the holding of a con-
ference; nevertheless, they must bow be-
fore its decisions. Every liberal associa-
ton has already promised to send dele
gates.
There. is considerable doubt as to wheth-
er the Irish alliance will be retained. The
Irish organs, Parnente and anti-Parnell-
lite alike, have adopted an expectant atti-
tude toward the government. Whatever
reforms, says the F'reedman's Journal, the
government undertakes will have the
strenuous assistance of the nationalists
as aids to home rule.
The Dublin Independent says much good
IS likely to be done during the time the
Earl of Cadogan holds the viceroyship of
Ireland. It adds: Let the dead past
bury its dead in the general interest of civ
ilization and progress" Seriously, the
Parnellites and anti-Parnellites are ready
TO throw aside their liberal allies.
The English church union has recently
startled church circles by declaring civil
marriages We're an offense against church
discipline. Parties who had incurred CEN
sure by entering into such marriages,
TO oh
tain absolution before being admitted to
communion. The further ceremonies of
the ring and the joining of hands ought
to occur and the benediction be given.
The report staggered even the council
of the union as throwing doubt on the
validity of the civil contract The mat
ter was again referred to the committee,
who now report that they did not mean
to suggest the necessity for a religious re-
newal Of the marriage contract, but only
a solemn acknowledgment in face Of the
church by parties who had contracted
civil marriages. The council now proposes
to seek a deliVerance from the church con-
vocation. The question arouses the keenest
feeling among church adherents.
According to the Speaker, the weekly or
gan of the liberals, the attitude of that
party on the Chinese mission outrages
is distinctly in favor of active interven-
ton Lord Salisbury, the paper declares,
should obtain an Anglo-American entente,
under which the first work should be the
further opening up of China. The gov
ernment at Pekin would be wise to accept
foreign aid to restore order If only to save
itself A family council of the nations
could, without difficulty, sentence China

probable, although it would be certain
to benefit the central government but it

Several American army officers who
have witnessed the August maneuvers
in England are going home enthusiastic
for similar notifications annually in the
United States. They were much impressed
to find at Aldershot. just outside of Lon
don, force outnumbering the entlre
Standing army of the United States. In
this force were 10000 volunteers, who are
similar in all respects to the American
national guard. These volunteers were
included in ninety corps, gathered from all
parts of the United Kingdom, and in the
opinion of the American officers, the uni
form discipline and contact with volun-
teers from various sections of the country
as well as their association with the reg
ulars could not be otherwise than ex-
tremely beneficial. 1t appeared to them
exceedingly advisable to establish an
American field for maneuvers where por-
tons of the militia from various states
might spend a few weeks each summer
in service organization with regulars. If
nothing else were achieved, it would. at
least familiarize American officers with
large bodies of men. at present American
officers, however much theoretical knoWl-
edge they absorb. know nothing of the
practical handling of an army, except
when they come to Europe al their own
expense and witness the annual evolu-
tions.
The foreign Office cabled last evening to
Sir Nicholas r. O'Connoor, the British
minister at Pellin, and to the British con-
suls at Shanghai and Fuchau TO expedite
their reports on the position of the mis-
sions. SO far as the Kutien outrages are
concerned the officials are chary of Civ
ing Information, only vouchsafing to say
that the inquiry is proceeding and that
Consul Mansfield has not applied for
armed British protection. The United
Press is informed on the highest authori-
~ that Prime Minister Salisbury has
made no approaches toward establishing
and Anglo-American entente on the Chi
nese question. He has been all along play
