The chief event Of English politics is Mr.. John
Morleys speech in Glasgow last night, in wnich
the question Of the Liberal leadership was dis
cussed with good sense and discretion. lie
touched lightly upon Lord Rosebery's reasons
for resigning as clearly inadequate and mex
plicable, paid high tribute to Sir William Har-
courts ability as tactician and referred to the
House Of Commons as the only possible centre
of political authority for the Liberal party. The
chief speaker on the Unionist side has been Mr.
Walter Long, who has been seeking to convince
British farmers that the Government have done
something to help them by passing the Light
Railways bill and the Cattle Diseases act. Eng
lsh farmers are in high state Of good nature
over the prices received for an exceptionally
good crop of wheat. but they are hardly credu-
lous enough to believe that their prosperity de-
ponds upon agricultural rating acts.
The first meeting of the Motor Car Club, which
will occur next Saturday will excite less interest
than Mondays Lord Mayors Show. but it may
lead to more important results. 1t will be trial

pole to Brighton, through Brixton and Regate.
Fifty-four vehicles have been entered forthe con-
test. These will include two Daimler cars, winch
finished first and second in the race from Paris
TO Marseilles and back: several German vehicles,
two Duryea cars from America, and a large
number Of English electric carriages and petro-
leum traps. 1t will be remarkable show, and
will attract throngs Of spectators from the EN-
bankment and Westminster Bridge all the way
TO the coast. Coventry has become the head
quarters for the new industry of supplying what
are by an atrocious barbarism, called auto
cars" which answer the requirements of the
new act Of Parliament. but there have been in
tcresting experiments also in Colchester and
other towns. One invention employs neither an

external fywheel and the oil lamp is not kept
constantly burning. With electric omnibuses in

WINGED that their occupation is threatened.
The election of Mr.. Poynter to the presidency
Of the Royal Academy apparently turred upon
q convenient precedent. The Academicans were
unable to find in their own group a natural sue
cessor to Sir John Millais and Lord Leighton.
but happily. it was remembered thar Sir charles
Eastlake had once been director of the National
Gallery and presiden. Of tn, Academy. %dofd-ss
ingly, Mr., POINTER. director OF the National Gal
lery was elected president after a sharp strug-
gle with Mr. Briton Riyiere. Mr. Poynter has
a graceful habit of speaking. and in this respect
resembles Lord Leighton.
The London theatres now drawing
crowded houses. and no playhouse is available
for any new enterprise No problem play is now
on the boards anywhere Mrs Campbell, Miss
Marion Terry and Mr. Forbes-Robertson are
still absent from London. The popular enter
tainments are melodrama. romantic comedy,
farces and musical comedy. "Cymbeline" will
run until Christmas at the Lyceum and Under
the Red Robe" even longer at the Haymarket,
where the managers have secured new play

hearsing an original version of THE Manxman

The closing scene Of the Castle trial was pain
full and pathetic. Medical testimony was hardly
needed as proof of the mental arrangement Of
the hysterical woman who sobbed violently in
the dock when she was sentenced for shoplift-
ing, since the Inherent probabilities of the case
and the signs Of unreason In her conduct pointed
to a morbid impulse. which rendered her ire
sponsible. Sentence passed under painful
sense Of the necessity Of avoiding dangerous
precedent in ordering her discharge. but the
Court evidently expects that the Home Office will
promptly intervene and order her release. Mr..
Roosevelt secretary of the American Embassy.
has been indefatigabe in rendering the Castles
all the assistance possible. 1t is probable that
she will be pardoned at once. or else committed
