pOnement of the Retirement of the
Duke of Cambridge as Commander
in-Chief of the Army Causing Dis
satisfactiOn-The Outlook in Par
Iiamentnry Circles.
Special Gable Letter.
London, Aug. 3.-The week at Cowes
promises to be a brilliant one. The dis
tinguished assemblage will include Empe-
TOR 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, nearby.
Yachts are daily arriving at Cowes. On
Monday Emperor William, on the impe-
riaI yacht HohenzoHern, accompanied by
hve German warships, will arrive The
usual fashionable 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 discomfort deepens. The
movement emanates almost entirely from
the queen who clings to views imbibel
from the Iron Duke, the royal consort,
Peel, John Russell PalmerstOne, Beacons-
field and other deceased statesmen that
royalty nearly related to the sovereign
ought to be at the head of the army
Nobody doubts that Lord Salisbury. with
his present backing, will cheerfully COM
ply with the queens wishes. The court
IS bringing a vigorous pressure on the
Duke of Devonshire to make him re-
nounce his recommendation to his own
commission. The queen has sent TO both
Lord Salisbury and the Duke of Devon
shire a long memorandum embodying
her views in regard TO the army. Her
majesty hopes to be enabled to prove to
her grandson, Emperor William, next
week that the British sovereigns hold
on the army is not materially less than
Is that of the German sovereign on his
army. If possible she hopes in some in
direct manner to use the kaiser to infiu-
ence 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 battalions, Will
take part in the display, which will con-
clude with a grand march past"
The whole affair has been arranged es-
peoially with the view OF giving the Duke
OF Connaught chance to impress his
nephew and the public.
The emperor probably will be induced to
make some pronouncement, lauding his
uncle's handling Of the troops.
The government, in accepting the nomi-
nation of William Court Gully as speaker
of the House of Commons, to which posi-
ton he was elected on the retirement of
the. Right Hon. Arthur w. Peel, now Vis-
count Peel has avoided the first pitfall in
its career. The only persons who regret
the governments decision not to oppose
Mr.. Gully's reelection are the extreme
radicals, who say that if tory speaker
had been elected it would have given
them the whip during the whole life of
parliament.
If one of their political opponents oc-
cupied the chair and vigorously sup
pressed obstruction he would be accused
Of partiality, whereas Mr.. Gully, who was
originally the nominee of Henry Labou-
chere, the radical leader, would not have
been elected except for the radical and
Irish votes. The conservatives are will
ing to retain him in office, as he has
shown himself firm to maintain order.
Among the first topics that will be
brought up for discussion when parlia-
ment meets on Aug. u will be the election
OF the dynamiter DAILY to represent Linn
erick in the House. On Aug. 10 Mr.. Bal
four will move the production of proof
Of Daly's conviction of participation in
the dynamite outrages, and on Aug. 10
will move the issue of a new election
writ for Limerick. The Parnelltes in
tend to raise the question of amnesty, but
Speaker Gully will probably rule ii is
prevalent. AS Daily is now in Portland
prison this fact in itself renders his cleo
ton void.
It is understood that the only bill that
will be passed before the adjournment
Of the House will be the one postponing
the fixing of judicial rents in ireland un-
til 1896, in view of the government land
purchase scheme that will then be intro
duced.
The summonses to the government sup
porters in the House of Commons even to
the liberal unionists, have all been issued
by Mr.. Balfour as the government leader
IN the House. This fact taken in connec-
uon with the speech delivered last night
uy Mr.. Chamberlain at dinner given him
Dy the Birmingham Conservative Club,
mdlcates the eventual fusion of the two
sections of the unionist party, the con-
seIVauVe and liberal unionists.
me estimates are likely to be passed at
he beginning of September. After the
adjournment, parliament will not meet
asaln until February.
