| London. Jan. IA few days ago We were told
| upon the authority of The Pail Mall Gazette
that the sphinx Of the Cabinet had resigned and
that dissolution wcs imminent. The resignation
~ denied but the dissolution may not be far of.
No matter from what point OF view 1t is exam
ined. there are grave reasons for anxiety over
the Ministerial outlook The early business Of
the next session will relate to Welsh affairs.
which have no immediate concern with the Irish

may give their Welsh brethren Is only an out
come Of that system OF trolling which played
so great part In last years session. Without
Irish assistance not only will the Welsh fail In
their ecclesiastical crusade, but the Government
themselves would completely go under Lord
Rosebery's retention In office depends more than
ever upon the assistance Of Ireland, and that
sistance Is becoming feebler and more untrust-
worthy every week. Already the Redmondits
faction are counted as enemies to the Govern
ment.
This very week their organ has delivered q
bitter attack upon Mr. Morley. chiefly because

Morley with brbing with broth and stale vege~
tables in the Distribute OF mis- favors.
All this is bad enough and indicates that at the
coming session the Parnellite vote will be with

Government for their education policy that even
Mr.. William o Brien interpreted his action as q
distinct raising Of the flag OF revolt against his
antl-Parnellite comrades. The denunciations Of
Mr.. Healy in The Freeman's Journal Mr..
Healy's retorts in mis- own organ and his speech
in Armagh caused positive alarm among the Gov
crnment wirepuers in view Of the possibility Of
the establishment of priests party as third

Mr.. Gladstone to act mediator. This accounts
for the ex-Premier's attempt to separate the COM
batants. He did this on the occasion Of his ac-
cepting the address from Mr. O'Connor as a repre-
sentative Of the lrish-American society called the
Friendly Sons of st. Patrick. AS you know, he
advised that the powerful friends OF Ireland In
America initiate concerted movement and ap-
peal for reunion of Irish Nationalsts; for said

rights until all Na,ionaiists were united. After

certain to muster their full strength on crucial
divisions arising over the Address. The difficulty

very general expectation that the Ministry will

policy is revealed Such expectation was never

vergences Of the Irish leaders.
