ondon July Liberal victoiy in the isbech division is a surprise to both sides. The Gladstone candidate was opposed by powerful local trade interests, and it was hardly calculated that he would do any more than reduce the Conservative majority to such a minimum as would justify a re-coiitest at the coming election. Amongst the elements of the Conservative strength wore the publican and brewer interests, long dominant in the con.stitueney. These were thrown in their full Btr against the Gladstonian, whose victory is therefore all the more significant. But neither tliis nor the results of any ot the hye-olections will alter the determination of the Governmont to try to complete its sclieine of Irish logislatiou before dissolving ment.

Certain influential Conservatives in constant communication with the electoral headquarters, are pressing Lord Salisbury to remodel the Cabinet and to dissolve Parliament at once. They plead that the strength of the Gladstonian reaction is growing constantly and that another delay will probably result in an ovei whelming Liberal majority. These tactical reasons, though supported hy the opinion of the officials of the electoral executive, have not shaken Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour in their resolve to face another session The talk over the Wisbech election in the Conservative and Liberal clubs tonight treats it as likely to precipitate the dissolution of Parliament. Private ministerial utterances however, deride the notion that a bye election will change the line decided upon The period for the reconstruction of the Cahi nent depends upon Mr.

health. He has been ill enough to render it improbable that he will ever reappear as a minister. Un less he improves he will withdraw from public life wholly on taking the peerage. The Duke of llutlaud, who has long been an invalid will also retire. Mr.

CRISPI RISES IN DEFENCE. Italy to the Dreihund to Obtain a Guarantee Against the Pope have private information on the nature of communications that have pskssed between tho Liberal leaders and the Irish bishoos uniting them in common action against the Government. To counteract the policy now supported by every bishop except Dr. of Limerick, Lord Salisbury recently renewed overtures to the Vatican to intervene, and asked the Pope to promise to pronounce on the eve of the general election i decisive against episcopal interference Tlie refusal prompted the Premier i allusion to a clerical conspiracy and to the abolition of the illiterate v'oter and his threat to reduce the Irish represeutation Tiie Conservatives now see that the bishops hold supreme sw'ay in Ireland, and that Mr. decadance began on tha day the priests deserted him.
