The" Liberal tangle Is giving EnglUa politician much London, Oct.

11 United Associated Presses special London letter. Tha past week' events in Paris attendant upon the reoeptlon of the csar have created a deep Impression In England, where there Is an Increasing desire for an agreement with France and Russia regarding the Eastern question. Dur ing his visit the czar has personally enhanced his reputation. He says little, but that little Is very sensible. All his speeches have been delivered with a quiet confidence that betokens that he fully appreciates the tremendous power he wields, while at the same time his remarks cojiflrm the belief that this power will be wielded for thTmaTOleh-ance of peace.

-With regard to an English, French and Russian agreement, it can be said that this is now looked up on, as the only practicable means for England to escape her Impotence In face of the so-called concert of Europe on the Eastern question. In View of this, the succession of growls from Berlin upon the Egyptian question, generally taking the form of seml-oltlclal hints that France and Russia Intend to make early trouble for England In regard to Egypt, and that Germany will look with benevolent upon. process, Is regarded here as merely a display of spite. NEUTRALIZATION OF EGYPT. The belief la that France" and England', with the' assistance Of Russia; are nearing a rapprochment respecting the Egyptian difficulty, and that, while Trance Is preparing to recognise the British occupation, she will obtain substantial compensation fine-where.

It Is worth nothing at present that the German press is beginning to point out, in view of the importance of Germany's colonies and commercial Interests, that the unconditional neutrality of the Sues Canal ts tp her a matter of the utmost imporance, and that If the neutrality of the canal was guaranteed by the powers, Germany might not object to the sultan's ter-rttprlal suzeranlty over Egypt passing Into other hands. Lord Salisbury himself proposed the convention of 1887 securing the neutralisation of Egypt, but the present sultan, aftef much delay, refused to sign. As that arrangement would have left the suseranlty of the autlan, there Is not the remotest chance of ts being revived and ratified, In view of the state of his other dominions. The only plauses that may be heard again are that Egyptian territory should be neutralized under the guarantee of the great powers; that the guaranteeing powers should retain. the right of transporting troops through the khedtve's territory either by land or the Sues Canal; that England should exercise the right of appointing the majority of officers in the Egyptian army, and should retain the right of reoccupylng the country In case necessity arose.

In 1887 was also provided that the English army should be given three years within which to withdraw from Egypt, but there Is no likelihood of this being 1 T71 .1 .1 Malv. The liberal breach. Speaker, the Liberal organ, says In an article-in that paper that the position of Liberalism is graver now than It has been In a generation. He extols Lord Rosebery's honorable conduct, and con- 1. .1 A 1 Hir wuiiam united Liberal party are absolutely nil, 1 I add in a- that some startling displays of antipathy for him have already come from unexpected quarters.

There Is a possibility that the Nation a-Llberai-Club, has been the headquarters of progressive politicians here for ten years, may be without home. The club was started as a com pany before the Liberal split, and many of the largest shareholders are now Liberal-Unionists, including the Duke of Westminster. Lord James of Hereford and Mr. Chamberlain. After this lapse of years It seems that some of these gen tlemen refuse to continue to Invest money In a cause of which they entirely disapprove.

Besides, -they have found their strongest denouncers in the members of this club. The Liberals are in a majority on the directorate, of which Herbert Gladstone Is a member. EARLY DEBATE ON VENEZUELA. Unless a definite settlement should be unexpectedly reached before the assem bling of Parliament, the debate-on the Venesuelan question, which it was attempted to initiate last session, is likely to take place during the first week or two after the House meets. It was ow ing to an intimation privately by tbe government to the leaders of the opposl tion, and afterwards to the House, that the debate did not take place before Parliament rose.

Nominations for the State Legisla ture May All Be Invalid. Pittsburg. Oct 11. E. J.

Brenner, of this city forwarded a letter last night to chairman John M. oarman, or the Dem ocratic State committee, In regard to the construction of the act of June 10, 1893, rlativeto the filing of nomination papers Mr. Brennen contends that the certificates of candidates for the State House of Representatives "should be filed with the county commissioners In stead of the secretary of the common wealth, the former provisions of the act of 1891 having been repealed by the act of 1893. If Mr. Brennen Is correct It is claimed every nomination made for the legislature this year by both par ties Is invalid and as it is too late to file certificates with the county commis sioners, nomination papers would have to be resorted to.

A nice point of law Is Involved In the question, and It Is stated that Mr. Brennen will die a bill In court, which will necessitate a deci sion.

It is also explained at Scotland Yard that the failure to obtain the extradition of Kearney and Haines was because, although It Is a crime In Belgium to possess explosives, It is no crime in that country to possess the materlale for manufacturing explosives, in Ens land, tn the ether hand, it ia a crime to possess materials for the manufacture of explosives, which are regarded In the same light as explosives.
