Ambassador to the Austrian Court, has roniirned In protest against the aotlon of his government In expelling tbe French princes.

It is believed that M. Waddington, French Ambassador to the Court of 8U Jamee, will resign in con sequence of the expulsion of tbe princes. His resignation Is momentarily expected.

Be assured that whatever call duty may make I shall not be found wanting in the fulfillment of what I owe to the demoo raey and to my name. An revoir."

In a letter to Mr. Caine, M. P. for Barrow-in-Furneaa, who acted as whip for the Chamberlainists in their opposition to the home rule bill, says he hopes Mr. Caine, who will stand for reelection, will win.

Mr. Bright denounces the action of the Liberal caucus In trying to transform members of the House of Commons into simple delegates and insisting on their subordinating their principles to the interest of the party leader.

The S3 Liberals who voted with the majority have done much to redeem the Liberals from the discredit of accepting a measure which the majority condemned. At a meeting of Midlothian Conservatives, to-day, it was decided not to contest the district again at Mr. Gladstone. The Parliamentary Fund. Et.

He has concluded that it is a waste Of vaW uabie time, and that it ia better to let 'ther Important buelnasa of the House proceed without interruption, and certainly natitf the sundry civil appropriation blU la out os the way.

As soon as the bill was reconsidered, Mr. Hawley, who seemed to regard that bill as a reflection upon the Republican party, moved to refer tne measure to the Judiciary Committee.
