TORIES DENY PARTY TURMOIL
THE STORIES THAT A SPLIT Is
IMMINENT DENIED.

If the Gladstone Home Rule Plan
Was Abandoned.
London, April 2O.-The public assurances
Of the Right Hon. George J. Goschen that
the reports Of the Imminent disruption OF
the compact between the conservatives
and the unionists are unfounded, and the
assertions of Sir William Hart Dyke that
the leaders of both sections are on the
friendliest terms with one another, have
failed of their object of dissipating the be-
lief that discOrds exist, tending to the ul-
Innate rupture of the close political rela-
uons of the two parties. There is no
doubt that the conservative leaders will
strain every possible point to secure the
cohesion OF the parties, but the rank and
file are not to be ruled by tactical consid-
erations and refuse to admit the necessity
Of observing the tory compact with Mr..
Chamberlain and his followers. The re-
ports emanating from the Carlton Club
agree that there is bitter discomfort with
Mr.. Balfours course in submitting to the
leadership Of Mr. Chamberlain. This feel
ing has gone to such extremes that the
older tories openly declare that Mr.. Bal
four ought not TO hold the confidence of
the party amy longer Associated with
the unionist dissensions from the conser-
XatiVes is an internal movement in the
lDeral party toward placatiHg the union
lists. Although Mr.. Chamberlain remains
an object Of detestation on the part of the
radicals, the genuine home rulers and the
moderate liberals, who are home rulers
from motives Of eXpediency, continue to
regard him as not only a possible leader
put desirable one, if the Gladstone form
OF nome rule Is abandoned SO that the
tentative and temporary home rulers can
privately and through the medium of the
press proceed toward a reconciliation.
Mr. Chamberlain, to-daNs Graphic
says, viii not be lured into the Gladston-
ian fold, but once let the liberals drop Mr.
Siadstone's hateful legacy and then 1t
VIII be time for him to toin and lead the
reconstructed liberal party.
The Evening News. the only Gladston-
ian organ left in Edinburgh, declares
tnat the Scottish liberals will be glad
OF decent excuse for abandoning home
rule Mr.. Gladstone's bill is recognized
as an impossible measure, and continues
to be an Incubus to the party The pres
ent hypocriticel alliance with the anti
Parnellttes is demoralizing and il would
better be dissolved and Mr. Chamberlain
invited back to the liberal fold, upon a
basis of modified home rule. The opin-
ion of the Evening News is doubtless an
expression of the feeling of the liberals
constituting Mr. GladstOnes Midlothian
constituency, and IL has not escaped the
attention of the Irish members, among
Whom the conviction is growing that
nome rule as promised by the liberals
Will prove to be a mirage.
The proceeding of twenty-four dele
gates of the Independent labor party in
session in Newcastle have derived a spe-
cial Importance as influencing twenty
four parliamentary seats in the next cleo
tions and embodying the left wing of the
radical party.
So ultra-socialistic were the resolutions
passed that the Daily News and other
ministerial newspapers found it necessary
to repudiate them. The delegates passed
a resolution pledging themselves to COM
pei all their adherents to vote in the
next elections as dictated by the govern
ing committee of the independent labor
party. They also approved bills to COM
pei the local authorities to provide work
for every adult, the hours to eight per
day and the minimum wages 80 shillings
a week. providing by state pensions for
everybody after reaching the age of 30
years; a weekly special provision for.
widows and orphans; free education, in
cludlng access TO the universities; free
schools for the children of the poor, with
food and clothing; that land shall be
treated as public property; that the rail
ways and waterways shall be national
lied, that the liquor traffic shall be con-
trolled by the municipal governments;
and, finally resolution condemning an
archism was rejected. The Spectator con-
tends that such programme, If 1t be the
result to which radicalsm tends will
alarm the whole communita and cause a
strong eaction toward conservatism
1t is reported, and the rumor is credited
in official circles that communications
are passing. with the object of arranging
for NJ. Felix Faure, president of the
French republic, to pay a visit to Windsor
1t is understood that NJ. Faure, who for
some time sojourned In London. is will
ing to accept the invitation, which is like
ly to be sent Immediately after the queens
return. A similar reception to the late
President Carnot was under discussion at
the time of his death.
The anarchist scare, based upon an al
legged conspiracy to aSSaSslnate NJ. Faure
while in Havre, is not shared in by the
police here, who declare that the Paris
stories of the departure from London for
Havre of anarchists are pure fiction. The
London anarchists, the police say, were
never quieter than they are now.
The entente between England and Rus
sia has led to elaborate preparations for
an interchange of naval demonstra tions.
According to the programme a Russian
squadron will pay an official visit to Ports
mouth in the fall, and a British squadron
will visit Cronstadt or the Black sea
The movements of the British fleet will be
governed by the movements of the car

The ninetieth birthday of the Rev. James
Martineau, the eminent theologian and
philosopher, a young brother of Harriet
Martineau, which occurs tomorrow, has
been the occasion of a flood of congratula-
tions from American and English repre-
sentatives of religious and philosophical
thought The aged philosopher is in fine
health and endowed with vigorous work
ing power. His voice is strong and his
movements easy.
The sporting papers concur in giving ad-
vice to the English jockeys to take a les
son from the style shown by Willie Simms
in riding Eau de Gallie. Simms' riding is
highly praised and he is generally con-
ceded to be a good finisher, as well as
a good beginner. The contentious of the
English jockeys that Simms won a stolen
race, slipped his field, etc, are ridiculed BY
experts, who say that he won by sheer
good riding.
1t is regarded as doubtful that the new
American society will be a SUCCESS. About
200 members have already Joined, but the

who are suspected of seeking self adVer-
tising and who have mismanaged the af-
