Cbpyrlght. ISM. by th United Press. LONDON. April 7.

Th political situation ha taken an unexpected turn, aad the Conservatives confidently predict that Parliament wUl be dissolved within the present month. Th Tories mar be oversaaguln. but their prediction Is by no means aa extravagant -one, -In view of th I present apect of things political. Th Liberals themselves admit that a crisis may be precipitated any day, and after their experi-enc fo Thursday they no longer attempt to conceal their appreciation of their precarious hold upon power. Of course, kny fur-thelr defeat will Involve the resignation of th Ministry, and the Opposition are looking forward with feelings of the utmost confidence' to th next appeal to th Icountrv.

Urrhlch they believe will result In th return dt a Conservative majority. I Th normal Government majority of thirty-six had been reduced Thursday night to twenty-four, through th absence of th Parnelllte members, who have recently been spending their time In Dublin quarreling among themselves and denouncing the Government's lukewarmnssa toward the home rule Question. Three Liberals were also absent; and not paired. This would not hav rendered the pc. si Uon so critical, but the successive division taken In th House that night show that th Liberal whip cannot with any degree of certainty rely upon their men responding promptly, if at aU, to their summons.

From th twenty-four mentioned, thef Government's majority dropped to eighteen through absenteeism, then to fifteen, and waa finally wiped out In the division on the East London Water bilL Th Liberals mad a great outcry of dissension on th part of th McCartheyltes. but this was disproved by an analysis of th voting, which disclosed the jfact that the McCarthyftea stood by their guns, and that th dwindling majority was caused by the abstention of the Radicals from taking part In th division. The ratio of the vote of the McCarthyites exceeded that of th Liberals. Th discontent of the Radicals has so nearly reached th point of revolt that the Government Is extremely unwilling to take the risk of seeking a majority on Mr. James Henry Dalxiel'a motion to abolish the veto power of the House of Lords.

Fearing to test the sense of the House on it his question, the Government has practically wiped out Mr. Daimlers motion by appropriating the day set for Its consideration to discussion of private members' bills and Government business. This change In! the programme v-111 be made on motion of Mr. John Morley. A very large majority of the Liberal members are eager ifor Immediate action against the House of Lords, and earnestly desire to obtain a decisive expression of opinion on the subject on the part of the House, such as will! force the hand of the Government, but th Ministers are not so eager.

Just now they are anxious for delay, and will make every effort to secure It. Last evening Sir William Harcourt and Mr. John Morley twere very active In canvassing the House In. this matter, aad endeavored by private conversations to induce the irreconcilable Radical members to submit to the waiting policy of the Government and acquiesce la th shunting of Mr. Dalzlel's motion until sura more opportune time.

Instead Of meeting with any auccees in their Messrs. Harcourt and Morley were met on all aide with the Radical ultimatum that; time must be given to the anti-Lords motion, and given in th very near future, too. The Conservatives are watching their chano In the defection of the Radicals, a chance which they believe will not be long delayed. Their whips are active, ener-. getio.

and untiring. The normal Conservative voting strength in the House has been considerably augmented by the i attendance of members who are seldom seen In their seats, and. besides this, a full force of Unionists is on hand, ready to assist In snatching victory from the Liberals on any division that may catch the government napping or find it without a majority. If the Government is unsuccessful in arriving at some clear entente with the Rad-'- icals before Monday, when Mr. Morley's motion to appropriate the day set for debate on Mr.

Dalzlel's anti-Lords motion to other purposes will be discussedi the defeat of the Government on the division on the question is probable. The abstention of the Radicals from voting will be Sufficient to give the Opposition a majority; and there Is now no likelihood that the Radicals will vote to displace the anti-Lords i motion. The fidelity of the McCarthylte section of the Irish party, in adhering steadfastly to the Government, continues unimpaired, despite their internal feuds, and haa excited a great deal of favorable comment even from the Opposition who are forced to admire their consistency. A new piece of vituperative literature has been furnished by Mr. Frank O'DonneU, formerly a prominent member bf the Parnelllte section of the Irish National Party In the House of Commons.

Mr. O'DonneU has written a letter to United Ireland, which that paper publishes, charging the Irish members with having been duped or corrupted by the Government. Whether they are the victims of the Government's bra sen mendacity or their own hidebound Idiocy, he leaves It to themselves to decide; but he concludes by fulminating at the Irish Parliamentarians, thus: To your ken-neL you hounds, to your kennel! There's English dogs' meat waiting for your docile pack." Those who are thoroughly familiar with the inner life of the lobby know that the insinuations of Mr. O'DonneU are absolutely false. The antl-Parnellite members do not draw a single penny from the purse of the Liberal Party.

It is possible, however, that acme or all of them may receive assistance In carrying on their fight ata general election, but otherwise not one of them la a beneficiary of th Liberal fund. It I Is a matter well known to those who havel had the opportunity to learn the facts that both the Parnellltea and the McCarthyites have absolutely clean personal and party records as regards their relations with (the English parties, and no member of either of the English parties would dream jof asserting otherwise. 1 Lord Rosebery's first ecclesiastical nominee, the Rev. T. W.

Leigh, who has Just been designated Dean of Hereford. Is well known in religious and temperance circles at home and abroad. He was associated with the co-operative movement In temperance work and Christian Socialism, and was a personal friend of the late Rev. Charles Bpurgeon. He passed four year on a plantation owned by his wife in Georgia, and spent the most of his time while there in endeavoring to evangelise the negroes.

Lord Rosebery paid a visit to Mr. Leigh in Georgia during the Premier'a visit to the United States some years Lord Rosebery-s bay filly Ladas stands in an excellent position In the forecasts of the Derby, and his bay filly Orle la candidate for victory in th Thousand I Guineas and tb Oaks, and is heavily backed. His Lordship's chestnut colt Ravelstotu also entered In the Derby, 'has recently lost favor. Ladas is a favorite with many, and if ah should win the Derby would greatly enhance th Premier's popularity. Th Social Purity Association Is reported to be engaged in shadowing nightly th movements of a number of prominent members of th House of Commons, Cabinet officers, and other distinguished persona.

Its detectives being Instructed to keep a minute record of everything they discover bearing uponv the morals of tb persons shadowed! Thla information is being gathered, it is understood, with a view to Its use in the next general election, i A minor society paper mentions Lord Rosebery as having recently taken a midnight saunter through tb remote quarters of I Islington I and Camber-weii. whither he had gone toj study the social undercurrents, i I An English African expedition Is to be undertaken with the view of checkmating th design of Franc and Belgium, who are aiming to obtain accesr to the Upper Nile. The English expedition Is also aiming at the Upper Nile, aad will reach the objective point before any expedition; from Uganda can ret there.

James J. Clancy, a graduate of the Royal College of St. Patrick. Maynooth, Ireland, and a newspaper writer of merit, and his wife, who was Mary Smiley, a contributor to religious literature, became intemperate three months ago. when the Jiuaband lost employment through aa attack of Infiu-enza and the necessity for several surgical operations.

They were In great straits early last week, when their money waa exhausted, but they ware too proud to appeal to friends, who would have aided them. Credit at a grocer's for stimulants enabled them to obtain all they asked for, and up to Friday night they had for six days eaten little in their flat at 171 East Seventy-seventh Street On Friday night th. Janitor of the flat house entered their rooms, and found them helpless. Th husband waa on a lounge, and his wife, who had been suffering with pneumonia, was on the floor. She was put on a bed, and was supposed to be alive, and not In need of special care; but she waa dead an hour after, when a neighbor went Into the flat.

1 Mr. Clancy was in such a condition that he could not understand his bereavement, and he was taken to the Presbyterian Hos-pital and treated for alcoholism. He bad partly recovered yesterday afternoon, and was frantic when told of the death of his wife, whom he idolized. I 1 Mrs. Clancy's face was bruised, but It was soon established that she fell heavily and Injured herself on Wednesday, when she tried to leave her bed to get water for her husband.

She and her husband had for some time been object of friendly interest to a neighbor who occupies a flat on the same floor. When thla neighbor heard that the landlord. Rabbi H. Lustig. to whom Mr.

Clancy owed two months' rent, proposed to turn him and his wife out, she resolved that if it came to the worst she would pay what they owed. This neighbor discovered that the Clancys were penniless early last week, and that, while they sent constantly to the grocer's for liquor, they did not eat. She often took them meals, but the food waa not touched. Cousins of Mr. Clancy took charge of the flat yesterday morning.

In Mrs. Clancy's purse were found a number of pawn tickets for Jewelry and wearing apparel. One of Mr. Clancy's cousins saw hfm In th hospital. He may.be able to leave it to-day and to make.

arrangements for the funeral. Mr. Clancy was born at Outerard, County Gal way, Ireland. In 1831, and he came to America when he was eighteen years old. His wife, who was thirty-one years old, was a Londonderry girl.

They were married in Brooklyn fourteen years ago. They were always and to the. last lovers." said on who knew them well. Their two children died early In KB. COUE2T5 BESIGHATION A 8UEPRI3E.

i Loft Corporation Connsel's Office. He Says, to Resume Law Practice. 1 i Sidney J. Cowen, who has been Assistant Corporation Counsel for nearly five. years, has retired, and haa resumed the practice of law In Temple Court.

The fact of his resignation was kept secret for some time. Corporation Counsel Clark would not discuss th matter yesterday, and Assistant Corpora tion Counsel George L. Sterling said he' had known nothing of Mr. Cowen' resignation until yesterday afternoon. Mr.

Cowen said: I handed in my resignation March 1. but It was not accepted until seven or eight days ago. I left th office on April I resigned solely for the 'reason that I wished to resume my law practice. There is not a word of truth In the report that I was asked to resign by Mr. Clark because ot errors In the Corlears Hook Park matter, or for any other reason.

It is perfectly true that there has been some trouble over the Corlears Hook Park that has caused some annoyance in the Corporation Counsel's office. There were no errors In th matter, however, as far as the; Corporation Counsel's office was concerned. The legal part of the work was attended to by Carroll Berry, the clerk to the Commissioners of Awards. I do not say, however, that Mr. Berry waa to blame in any way.

All th trouble arose from the fact that In their report the Commissioners, instead of giving th assessed values of th condemned property in one column of figures and the amounts of the city's claims on, the property in a separate column.1 subtracted in each instance the value of the city's claim from the value of the property, and combined the results in one column of figures. According to law, the two statements should have been kept separate. The results, however, are precisely the same. The Commissioners took oath that In each Instance they had subtracted the amount of the city's claim before putting down the assessed value. It is possible that if I had called th attention of the Commissioners to the question they might have changed the form of their report.

The result would have been merely a spread of figures that amounted to th same thing as the original report." Mr. Cowen was appointed to the position by Corporation Counsel Clark. His salary was a year. He is a son of Patrick Cowen of Saratoga and a nephew of ek Cowen. a well-known writer on legal sub-lecta It was said yesterday that the vaeancy-1 cauKu uj Air.

Mr. Morrison Is well proportioned, so that his unusual height Is not conspicuous until he is compared with some six-footer. He is about thirty-five or forty years of age, and is a natlv of St. John County in New-Brunswick. Mr.

Morrison's father waa not unusually tail, and hla mother was of medium height. But In th sturdy Scotch family from which Is descended there are many six-footers, and a great-uncle in Scotland attained th remarkable height of 8 feet and 9 tnchea While men tt feet and 7. Inches tall are unusual in the regions, such giants ar by no means unknown. Mr. Jason Hanson was one.

He served In the war In th Seventeenth Maine Regiment. He waa a Democrat in politics, and during th Tilden campaign was frequently seen carrying th nag in tb LrasocraUa processions. jvrtxcx to vxsicssstsx Repeal Alfred Heaaea suit's Sewe Law. Gov. Flower has signed a btH repealing th act of 1883 empowering th town ot Westchester to issue beads to build a system of sewers.

Th law of 1833 was engineered through th Legislature by Assemblyman Alfred Henncn Morris, who ras also at that tlm Supervisor of th town. It conferred th power to make th toad Issu on five Sewer Commissioners to: appointed by th Supervisor and Assembly-man and left them at liberty to fix th limit of expenditure at auch figures as they saw fit. A prominent cltixen of Westchester County aid yesterday of th Morris bill and its repeal: 1 Th bill failed entirely to state In what streets or along what lines these sewers were to go. A the body of the taxpayers ar opposed to th bin. there seems an uncomfortable probability that th sewers were meant to run from th Morris Park race track to th Sound, a distance of thre miles.

These Sewer Commissioners were each to receive a salary, but whether for one year or for twenty years waa not mentioned. While this bill gave these Sewer Commissioners, th power to levy and hold any enormous sum of the people's money they might demand, their own bond waa limited to 10.000 each. Any proper system of sewers for Westchester must cost at least Sl.000,000. and If built with great car and economy will cost $2,000,000. but the taxpayers were never asked "one" word regardlng'this extraordinary measure, nor hav they any voice aa to where or how or when this vast amount Is to be expended.

Upon thla Issue at th town elections on March 27 the which has long misgoverned the town, was overthrown, and the People's Party candidate for Supervisor was elected. When one this bill was brought to th knowledge of the people, taxpayers representing nearly th entire valuation of the town petitioned the Legislature for its immediate repeal, which repeal passed th Senate and Assembly by a large majority, being supported by men of all parties. It Is apparent that the original bfil now repealed by Senate, and Assembly was not only one of the most unjust and unconstitutional measures ever passed by the Legislature, but was also one of th most corrupt schemes ever put upon a long-wronged, community. It was a measure In every-way opposed to home rule, for It struck from Westchester the right of citizens to vot upon the expenditure of their own money." Ajm-sporia leagux FOE-tza Efforts Will be Mad to Enroll la It All Voters la th Catted State. The National Civil Service Reform League has Initiated a popular movement toward the abolition of the spoils system, and to effect this object an enrollment of th voters of tho United States who favor administrative reform has been undertaken.

This work has been recently commenced, and Is now being carried on from the office of the league at 64 William Street, this city. The Immediate purpose ot this enrollment Is to form a single popular organisation, working In every State and having for Its members every -'person enrolled. This organization will have for Its object the abolition of the spoils system under th national. State, anu Local Governments. It is to be known as the Anti-Spoils League, with Carl Schurx as President, William Potts as Secretary, and CoL Silas W.

Burt as Treasurer. Tha Civil Service Reform League has at present an active membership of about 6,000, divided among twenty-three associations and smaller leagues. Its principal centres are In New-York. Brooklyn, Boston, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Baltimore. Indianapolis, Chicago, and SI Louis.

Each of these 6,000 members has been enlisted Jn the missionary work of the movement at the outset. There are already almost 10.000 names enrolled. Including many of the men foremost in every walk of life. Every State and Territory Is represented. It is felt by those Interested In the formation of the league that In this work there may be the beginning of a new abolition movement, which as closely concerns the safety of the Government as that of forty years ago, and which offers an even broader opportunity for patriotic effort.

Among the prominent men who are members and active workers In the league are Carl Schurx, James Carter, Richard Watson Glider. Seth Low. R. Fulton Cutting, President J. G.

lot In Cedar Street by the Clearing House Association, as reported yesterday In The New-Tork Times, in addition to th plot previously bought, making the present frontage of the association's property 94 feet, was a subject of general congratulation In the banking district yesterday. Plans had been prepared for a building with 60 feet frontage. Yesterday the architect was directed to amend the plans so as to include the new pur-' chase. The opportunity is thus afforded for radical changes, which may result in th construction of a building that will rank with the finest In tb down-town district. There was not much to be gained on the original plot by attempting anything pretentious, because, besides being shadowed la front by the Equitable Building.

It was hedged In and darkened by buildings on each side. Now that there is room for a spacious interior court, th objection to building high in th au Is removed. Th fact that the association will hav no neighbors la th block. Its property extending from th Broadway building occupied by th American Exchange Bank to th Nassau Street building "occupied by-th Bank of Commerce, also encourages fin construction for th block will becom whatever th association may choose to make It-la view of the changes In plans In prospect. It Is mor than likely that th original Intention of sole occupancy of the property by the association will be abandoned.

There Is talk of providing quarters for tb Chamber of Commerce, the State Bank Examiner and the National Bank Examiner, and for other corporation or officials whose tenancy will give the building distinctive character as a central banking headquarter. The architect will probably submit a first draft ot plans by April 24. Mast Hav Cert la KcarMrgr B-Ua. WASHINGTON. April 7.

mnt Financial bill were predicting la the loby that the whole iMlquel plan; would come to naught. The tax projects, they said, would defeated by a large majority, and th Government would be glad to send th Deputies home at Whit suntlde. The Ministers would left a sea, said the Agrarian Conservatives, and general overhauling of departments and programmes would ensue. -j Th Opposition reckoned without Dr. Mle QueL He had other plana I Th House learned this yesterday from Fresldent vo Levetsow's Intimation, that the Ministers wer In no haste, and would riot curtail de bates on th proposed financial reforms.

Th full truth behind thla Intimation became known to-day in the lobby. Dr. UU quel means to make a prolonged fight oat th second reading of th tax bills, while continuing his lobby negotiations for anyj poaslbl compromise. The second reading to-day of the amended bill foir? Bourse taxation la a sop to many elements now hostil to the Prussian Finance Minister. noUbly) the Anti-Semites and feudal Conservatives, for the bill proposes to double the tax oat Bourse transactions, and to! Increase the taxes on brokers' notes, goods, and war rants.

The decision of theHous to-day) on th Bourse Tax bill show, that th majority of the Deputies ar reasonable, and by no means inclined to opposition to the Ministers.

That was enough to glv color to the report of Rothenburg's succession to Mlquel'a place. The report was made out of whol cloth, however, and It la ot likely that there has been the slightest Intention la the Wllhelmatrasse to associate th untried Under Secretary with the gigantic responsibility of shaping the new financial reforms.

Rothenburg's friends creOltj him with tha ability to discharge the duties of Chancellor. At the present Juncture, however, the demands upon the Chancellor are lesa weighty than those devolving upon th Fi nance Ministry. The Feudal Conservatives In the Landtag vented tfteir spite on the Emperor by grant for his newest pet project. the -Trave-Elb Canal. They refusad ta listen to reason, although' everybody real-iced that the canal would be especially ben, flclal to the agricultural districts which tha Conservatives themselves represent.

Even men from the country bordering the proposed rout of the canal voted against theUt own Interests and those of their constituents, merely to show their desire to "get even with the Emperor and his Chancellor. Happily, a considerable number of abstentions from voting enabled the Government to overcome the grumblers and pass the bill authorizing the appropriation.
