HIS MANIFESTO OUTLINING A NEW
PARTY POLICY FALLS ABsO-
LUTELY FIAT.
DoNALD,s pEERAGE HANGS FIRE
Strong Opposition to the Wish of
the Canadian to be Lord
Glencoe


six months to bring about war in the
Tory camp, and the recess leaves con-
siderable numbers of Conservatives In
a state of high indignation and re-
sentiment. The malcontents claim that
the legislation has been reactionary
and socialistic. Many Of them are
angry at what they declare to be a
humiliating surrender of the national
honor on the demand Of America. The
Marquis Of Londonderry, representing
the big class Of Tory landlords, has
added to the discontinue by publish
ing yesterday a letter in which he
practically cuts adrift from the Union
lists, saying in so many words that he
cannot stand the Irish land bills nor
Mr.. ChamberlainS pet measure, the
workmens compensation bill, which
latter he dubs socialistic. The mar
quis adds that the Conservatives
would never have permitted it to be-
come law if it had been introduced by
Mr.. Chamberlain before he changed
his politics.
The members of the opposition are
in no better mood. The rank and file
are Indifferent and quarrelsome, while
the leaders seem to be lost in the
shuttle. Lord Rosebery. occasionally
leaves his temporary retirement in or
der to make a humorous speech; John
Morley is seldom heard except at
Academical lectures; Sir Henry Fow-
ler and Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man are quiescent, while H. H. AS
quith has been earning Tory cheers
for his speeches in behalf of the work
mems compensation bill. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt is alone visible,
though Henry Labouchere tried to
push to the front by issuing a mani
festo early during the week suggesting
a new Liberal programme. His So
called presumption, however, has been
snubbed by the heads of the Liberal
federation and his manifesto has fall
len absolutely fiat.
AS matter Of fact the Liberal party
seems opinionlesS as we'll as leaderless
The conflict for the leadership of the
party continues in spite of this far
from hopeful outlook, and should the
Liberals be again called to power the
fight between Rosebery and Harcourt
will undoubtedly be re-opened. In the
meanwhile there is no. hope for their
return to- office until they first fully
satisfy the Irish Nationalist with a
cast iron pledge that they will give
them home rule. r. @t'f-. '~27a N.'e
The waning season has Seen marked
by rather stupid CoWes week. Only
the most .languid interest in the yacht
ing was felt outside the strictly FASH
ionable circle and the absence of En-
peror William, though he is detested
by many members of the Royal Yacht
squadron, deprived the week of the
brilliancy Of 1885, the presence of the
kings of Belgium and Siam failing to
fill the void.
,,eeThe members of the house of COM
mons have gone home after placing
an unusual strain upon the kitchen
committee, which reports having Serv-
ed a total of 1880 measures. The
postmaster of the house Of commons
also records big achievement. 515900
tiers being received and 7610S tele-
grams being handed to members or
sent by them from the house.
Much interest is taken in French
naval circles at the discovery OF a
composition which is alleged to have
the marvellous property of rendering
vessels invisible beneath the rays of
electric searchlights. 1t is stated that
at the naval maneuvers off Brest, to-
pedo boat No. 81, representing the enc
N.Y. succeeded, in traverSing unseen
the luminous zone produced by the
electric protector, thanks to having
been coated with the; new compost
