Two non-committal speeches have been made by
Unonist leaders. Lord Salisbury had more 10 say
about agriculture than anything else and vaguely
discussed relief measures for reducing the bur
dens of taxation and increasing by light railways
the facilities for carrying produce to market.
His lack of faith In the efficacy OF these measures
was shown by his emphatic references to the de-
structve effects Of free trade upon English farm
ing interests. The Duke of Devonshire made no
attempt to forecast the Government policy but
contented himself with covering Lord Rosebery's
recent trail and with harmless beating Of the air.

The retirement Of the Duke of Cambridge has
at last been effected. to the relief OF the English
public. The spectacle OF the royal martinez going

whose appearance at the Haymarket Theatre
after a protracted American triumph has at
tracted much attention. The notices of the Lon
don dramatic critics favorable and the play
seems to have set IN for long run. Miss Bard's
Trilby is commended strong bit of work and
Mr. Tree shares the tolerant, good natured no.
/ tees Of the critics. Mr.. Du Maurier was the hero
Of the first night. and royalty patronized the
show. The third woman who has been talked
about is Miss Manchester. the Socialist with queer
ideas about marriage. She has been receiving
congratulations from every portion Of the United
Kingdom upon her release from the insane asy-
lum in which she had been placed by her rela-
tves The medical procedure is generally con-
demned. even by those who have no sympathy
