London, March Copyrighted, 1898
by the Associated Press. 1.-The result
of the London county council elections
has been TO inflict upon the Marquis OF
Salisbury's government the heaviest
blow il has yet sustained. The whole
cabinet descended into the arena, and
the Unionist caucus pulled the party
wires. John Burns Scented Deli
labs" otherwise the Primrose danes,
invaded the slums like swarm of 10
Gusts, but London repudiated the at
tempt to interfere in her municipal con-
Germs. Lord Roseberry's admirable in
PREVENTION on the women's side has led
TO a significant revival of the rumorS
that he aSpires to resuming the Liberal
leadership. It is generally admitted that
Sir William Vernon Harcourt's period
of probation has been unsatisfactory,
and many of the Liberals are quite
willing to shelve him.
THE MS AND O'S.
About 100 bills have already been in
PRODUCED in parliament, of which num-
Der eight are government measures
One legislative curiosity, introduced by
Mir. Daniel McAleese anti-parnellite
member for North Monaghan, and edi-
tor of the Peoples Advocate of that
place, ''To enable persons of Irish birth
or extra action to adopt the use of the
prefix 20 or Mac before their sur
names" was received with shouts of
laughter, and he furnished a fund of
paragraphs for the press. The bill, how
ever, is exciting unexpected and serious
opposition from the Irish and Scotch
members already enjoying these pre-
fixes, who claim, according to one
statement that it would be an in
fringement of the dignity of their
order"
PRO-AMERICAN FEELING.
Now that time and opportunity for
reflection have been allowed by a tenn
porary cessation of the patriotic and
beIlicose statements which since the
wreck of the Maine, have been the
chief feature of the special cable dis
patches from the United States, Eng
lishmen are beginning to realize the
depth of the pro-Cuban feeling in the
United States, with which the thought
full element here cordially sympathize,
although they still believe the Maine
inquiry will absolve Spain from COM
piiticy in the disaster. An impression,
almost amounting to conviction, pre-
walls that public opinion will compel
the government of the United States to
acknowledge the Cubans as beiliger-
ents, and to intervene between Spain

thence of the people OF the United
States tends to confirm the conviction
here that Americans have become
aware that their government is pre-
pairing to satisfy the country's aspira-
ton when the suspicious moment ar
rives. Every one in this country ac-
knowledges the dignity and self-pos-
session with which the cabinet of Pres
ident Mckinley has been handling this
most difficult affair, and this attitude
of the United States government has
had a great effect in influencing opin
ion on this side of the Atlantic.
SHIP BUILDERS CAUTIONED.
Americans express themselves as be-
ing much gratified at the friendly at
titude which the British government
has evinced toward the United States.
BY advice OF the British government, |
ship builders and dealers in munitions
of war still insist, practically, upon cash
payments in the case of all orders
booked by Spain. 1t seems that the
Spanish embassy, when bargaining with F,
the ship building and other firms, indi- !
rectly suggested that Great Britain
sympathized with Spain. This came to !
the ears of the British government, and /
the latter lost no time in putting the /
firms which are in the habit of doing /
government work, on their guard.
Another rumor which has decidedly /
pleased the Americans was that the !
government had succeeded in obtaining /
complete plans of the principal Span 1
Ish Earbors and their defenses.
In short both Americans and English I
men have about concluded that the
present calm has been brought about !
by President Mckinley in order to al
low the completion of preparations for /
defense and for possible initiative ac-
ton and few people here viii be sorry I
