HARCOURT IS BEATEN


to Portsmouth on Wednesday and banqueted
the Italians in a marquee erected on the
grounds of .the royal naval college. The
Italians have since been conducted over the
arsenal, etc, and the duke of Genoa and
other Italian officers visited Windsor castle
today, where they were received by the
queen.
The newspapers naturally are printing ar
tees daily Of Our Allies, the Italians" and
they are making the usual complimentary
references to them.
The social season mas been brought to a
premature end The elite Of the aristocracy
has been at Henley for three Gays this week,
but the bulk of the politicians have packed
their trunks and gone into the country. The
effect of the dissolution of Parliament is
strikingly seen in Hyde Park. In it's fash
ionable promenades few men of distinction
are to be seen, the gatherings of people there
being almost entirely composed Of women.
IN THE MIDST OF A CAMPAIGN.
The soldiers Of the different political forces
are already in the midst of the fight and are
making addresses nightly. AS evidence OF the
activity of the leaders Of the fray 1t may be
mentioned that Sir William Vernon HarcOurt
who was chancellor Of the exchequer in the
Rosebery cabinet, is booked to address three
different meetings in Derbyshre on Monday.
The most sensational feature of the cam
palgn is the charge which Mr.. Heay made
against the Irish parliamentary party at the
national convention at Omagh at Tyrone last
choose candidates for the election of Tyrone
and Mr.. Healy, amid great excitement, ac-
Cused Mr.. John Dillon of selling Tyrone to
the English party. AS specially cabled to
the Associated press, Mr.. Heay read a letter
from Mr. Edward Blake to priyy Councillor
Dickson, informing him that the nationalist
federation would be unable in future to sub
sidize North and South Tyrone or North and
South Londonderry, which he asked should be
subsidized henceforth in the sum of f2OO
nv TIn han
whip, Thomas Ellis, consented to this on the
understanding that seats were to be consid-
cred liberal and not home rule seats. Nat
urally the reading of this letter spread con-
sternation among the delegates, who shouted {:
Sod! sold!' When Mr.. Dillon finally sue
ceeded in making himself heard he said:
what you state is an infamous and calum-
NOUS lie. You are traitor. You read pr-
vate letter in public" This caused further
uproar and finally the non-sectarian candi-
dates were adopted by the convention.
The affair has not only caused great COM
motion and considerable irritation in the ranks
OF the McCarthyites, but it has spread con-
sternation among the liberals as the conser-
vatives Immediately seized upon the Incl
dent and are making use of it during the
present campaign for all it is worth.
The national leaders instantly grasped the
danger OF the affair and Messrs. Mccarthy
and Blake both telegraphed emphatic denials
or the charge. Mr.. Mccarthy who promised
to make full statement on the subject
strongly condemned the making of what he
classed as baseless charges at such a crisis
and Mr.. Blake, who was presiding at the con-
vention at Cork, dealt with the matter
at length. declaring the matter had not a
particle OF foundation in truth But he ad-
ded, in explanation, that Mr. Ellis tho lib
eral whip, was applied to to bear the ex-
penses of the registration work of the four
seats representing North and South Tyrone
and North and South Londonderry which ex-
pense amounts to f200 each annually This
money, however, it was further explained
was not to pass through the hands of the ma
tionalists.
NATIONALISTS NOT SATISFIED.
Mr.. Ellis gave much the same version Of
the affair, but of course the conservative
newspapers declare that these are lame ex-
plantations. The Times, for instance. re-
marks: 1T does not matter whether the
money promised was nomnay to go for
registration purposes otherwise. In any
case it relieved the impoverished treasury
Of the federation and permitted so much
hard cash to be diverted to another destina-
tion. The bargain was simple. The radical
whips found the money and the members of
the nationalist party, under orders from the
Parnellte wire pullers, were to find the
votes. The end of the incident is not yet
come and the liberals rightly regard the mat
ter seriously when, as Mr. Ellis declares, the
tories are scattering leaflets through the
country in which they hint that the payment
for Irish seats was not in money taken from
the party fund but drawn from the national
eXchequer in order to enable lazy Irishmen to
live in luxury"
Also according to the Times It is stated
that four Roman Catholic archbishops were
appealed to by the McCarthyites to hold
conference and arbitrate in the dispute
among lrishmen and that Archbishop Croke of
Cassell replied that it was inconvenient for
him to act. In addition, Archbishop Walsh
Of Dublin is said to have emphatically re-
fused to sit in such a conference as he had
offered several times to mediate and was
only snubbed for his pains. Finally it is
stated that Archbishop Togue of Armagh the
primate of all Ireland and Archbishop Tuam
were willing to act but in view of the re.
plies of Archbshops Croke and Walsh the
McCarthyite party abandoned the project
The queen is taking a keen interest in the
elections and will be supplied with all the
results over a special wire run to Windsor
castle from London.
NEW WOMAN FINDS LITTLE FAVOR.
According to Vanity Fair, the queen has
expressed strong opinion regarding the So
called new woman" and especially as to
the style of her dress. The queen. it is
added, is strongly opposed to the advanced
novel;" and remarked recently to one Of her
encourage that it was great public that
was in mood to buy such books, and that
II there were no purchasing public the pens
would cease to write such matter.
Much chagrin was caused at Southampton
by the report that the United States cruiser
Columbia was seriously strained when she
was placed in dry deck there for the pur-
pose Of cleaning and painting her. The
vague statements made gave the idea that
the affair was greatly due to the negligence
OF the management Of the dock and this
impression has not been dspelled.
