| 1895, by the Associated Press.) With the
advent of the cool northwesterly wind,
succeeding the torrid weather which pre-
vailed in the early part of the week. poll
teal questions have begun to attract at
tention again in London. Just now the
di9cult problems OF the raising of party
funds and the perfecting IF party organi-
cation are troubling the leaders of the
Liberal party Most of the oldfsshioned
and wealthy Liberals who have been ac-
customed TO support the party have been
driven into the ranks Of the Liberal
Unlonists by the veering OF the party to-
wards extreme radicalism. As result
the Liberals are only able to look TO sue
cessful tradesmen and others of that class

annual session of which began at Ipswich
on Wednesday, was greatly disappointe d
at the absence OF Lord Salisbury, the re-
firing president OF the association, who

There was a rather dull and academic
discussion OF the bimetallists' PROPOSE
ton. Mr.. Grehl, secretary of the Gold
Standard Defense association, spoke for
tue monometallists and read to the asso-
citation the letter from Mr.. Gladstone,
which was cabled exclusively to the AS
ISOLATED Press on Thursday, in which the
venerable statesman declared his adher-
ence to the opinions which he espresso
in parliament two and a half wears ago,
and predicted that the bmetallc agita-
ton would be short lived. Little inter-
est was shown in the discussion. The
members OF the association are dsvoting
themselves today to excursions and pleas
ure-seeking.
The newspapers have not ceased TO COM
ment Oh the tiasco of the races for the
Americas cup. The press of London is
practically unanimous in the expression
of the opinion that there Will be no ore
challenges to sail for the famous trophy

The National Observer says that the

interesting one. The Spectators article

ner in which America has always led the
way in yacht building and compliments
what it characteriZes the astonishing
ability of the Herreschoffs in the design
ing and building of yachts, which. it is
added, is all the more noteworthy be-
cause one of the brothers has lost his
sight. The Spectator thinks that the pub
lie is firing of the system which requires
that expensive boats shall be built yearly
for the special purpose of competing for
the Americas cup, and predicts that the
small raters will soon be restored to favor
unless there shall be some radical change
in yacht building which will insure un-
doubted superiority.
Criticism of Nigilant's career in British
waters ana the right OF her owner, Mr..

sportsman, has been revived here by the

Vanity Fair says that it does not think
that Mr.. Gould at the Cove regatta
reached the highest standard OF sports
manship; and the story is retold of how,
when the Prince of Wales was introduced
to Mrs. Gould on the club lawn at Cowes,
she did not arise from her seat as under
the rules she should have done when con-
versing with royal parsonage.
SIR Edward Malet, the retiring ambas-
