VI. Sazonoff has not accorded any In

Persia will continue to he bolstered up

To Paris came to an end to-day, has Sc

tary of the Russian Embassy here, to be

Anglo. American Relations.

The relations OF England and America
are not clouded by the Persian affair.
The attitude of the Washington govern
ment is understood and respected, and
Mr.. Shuster will have a full measure Of
protection personally as an American
citizen, although his official action will
be regulated by the Anglo-Russian
agreement.
What is more probable than Sir Ed
ward Greys retirement through Radical
intrigue is the rejection Of the naval
prize bill by the House Of Lords The
Earl Of Selborne will propose the veto
on Tuesday. and will be supported by
most of the prominent noble die hards.'
The Declaration of London may be saved
if Lord Morley emphasizes the fact that
the self governing colonies when con-
suited at the imperial conference last
spring sanctioned it and that if it Is re-
iected those colonies will be deliberately
affronted by the Lords and the main
work of the last peace congress at The
Hague undone.
For the sake Of harassing Sir Edward
Grey and advertising the influence Of
THE Daily Mall and the diplomacy OF
the quarterback the militant party
among the Tory Lords want to take de-
cisive action respecting some govern
ment measure, and are not prepared to
turn down the unpopular insurance bill
on its second reading. They are holding
secret conferences, and the Marquis of
I.ansdowne will probably be followed by
the main body of the party when no
gives the cue next week.
Lsnsdowne- Law Agreement
Influential peers state that an under
standing has already been reached be-
tween Lord Lansdowne and Mr.. Bonar
Law. and that the Lords will carry into
effect Mr. Forsters Commons amend
ment by hanging up the bill after the
second reading. This decision may be
modified over Sunday. If strong advice
comes from Birmingham against the
temporary suspension of a large meas
ure Of social reform, crude and unsatis-
! factory as il may be in its adaptation of
the German system To British condi-
tions.
The Lords are strongly tempted TO pass
the unpopular bill as a proof of the real
character Of single chamber government.
They will act with sobriety and judg-
ment if they accept their responsibility
as guardians Of the double chamber sys-
TEN and force the Commons to consider
second time and properly revise
measure affecting the interests Of every
class and industry in the kingdom.
Ministers are revealing many signs of
stalcness. The Prime Minister looks
tagged and worn out with the arduous
duty Of keeping the coalition groups to-
gether and preventing his ambitious and
disappointed Chancellor of the EN-
chequer from getting completely out Of
hand.
The concentration Of the Unionists
continues without interruption. Mr.
Bonar Law steadily improves as A de-
batter and platform speaker, so much so
i'm fact that II is already doubtful
whether Mr.. Balfour himself can sue
cessfully challenge his successors au-
