INTHE REALM - OFJOAN BULL .There Is Now a Friendly - Feeling for the 5 French. - This Is Due to the Cementing of Ties Between Russia and : Eogland. .Under Reéognized Chiefs the Liberal Party Will Have a D:finite Programme. LONDON, Exg., Nov. 28.—There bas been a singular change of late in the tone " of the KFrench newspapers toward Great Britain, notabiy in tbe cases of the Siecle, Matin and Temps. These papers, instead of attacking *‘perfidious Albion,”’ as has been their wont, have' swung around and now advoeate the cultivation of a French alliance with Great Britain. According to information from a high official quarter, the change is due to a Both the French and the Germar semi- official newspapers have published in- spired communications on the subject, and they all concur in praising the Czar for abandoning the Russian desire for con- quest and completing the division of the Asiatic continent under the single aim of the interests of civilization. Whether either France or Germany is entirely pleased with the solution of this Jong-pending matter is questionable. There is at last a good chance that the prolonged disarray of the Liberal party, produced by Gladstone’s desertion of the lead at a critical crisis in the life of the party, will be ended, and tbat Liberalism will once more have a definite programme under recognized chiefs. The general committee of the National Liberal Federa- tion meets at Liverpogl on December 17 to discuss a memorandum on reforms in the legislation of the federation, This is a simple way of announcing that the entire membership of the party is too considerable, and a radical change must be made in its management. No question will be raisea at the meeting anent the leadership. Allthe local Lib- eral associations throughout the coun- try tacitly or by resolution have ac- cepted Sir William Vernon Harcourt as leader. This fact will and has already enor- mously strengthened his control of the party, besides contributing to the unify- ing of the party forces. Itcan no longer be called 8 headless party, and i is now apout to get a coherent programme, with a better system of electoral manage- ment. The general committee of the federa- tion, instead of being appointed through official influence, is to be an elecied body. Toe executive of the federation, instead of being appoiuted by the general com- cementing of relations between Great Brit- ain and Russia. It is an undoubted fact that during the recent visit of the Czar at Balmoral, the Queen’s residence in the Hignlands, the Anglo-Russian question concerning boundaries in Centrai Asia Wwas absolutely settled. mittee; is to be elected by delegations from the Liberal associations throughout the country. The new principle embodied in this scheme of party management is essen- tially representative and democratic. Anent the gm;umma, all that can preseat be divulged is that home rule, | though the cost of production has been church disestablishment and Um;er House reforms remain the leading planks. The party leaaers are to be intrusted with control of the party movement. L The Healyites have started a fund in opposition to the Nationalists’ subscrip- tion, initiated by Dillon under the resolu- tion of the national convention in Sepiem- ber. No great prospects existel for the | Nationalist fund from the outset, and the Healy appeal for command of a separate fund wil| effectually diminish ~what chance there was of getting the necessary aid from the Irish people. Healy cannot hope to get sny substan- tial response to his appeal, but he canm in- jure the Nationalist fund, and he has. When the party meets at the opening of Parliament Dillon will insist upon Healy and his supporters either completely abandoning their opposition or withdraw- ing. Failing reasonabie submission to «he majority the Healyites will be for- maily expelied. Communications have been reopened between the English Foreign Office and the French and German governments pointing toward another conierence on the sugar bounty system. Without being able to state what Government took the initiative, it can be affirmed that official opinion on each side favors the abolition or the bounty premium. The En-:lish Colonial Office is constantly receiving the worst reports of the decreasing yros erity of the sugar estates in the West ndies. It is stated by recent mail advices that the majority of the great planters Yns five years as the limit of the West ndian sugar industry if the bounty sys- tem among European powers continues. A® presen, the profits are «lmost nil, only the working expenses being cleared, ai- reduced trom £18 to £10 per ton. Chamberlain, who has been cansulted on the projected conference, is understood to think little of any agreement being arrived at, but will not op negotiativns to obtain the abolit; bounties. Officials of se the on of the the Shipping Federation ridicule the ramors that the strike of the dock laborers in Germany will extend to London, They are confident that the strike in Hamburg and Bremen will ily end in a fiasco. Tom Hamm and the other English -labor agitators, who several months ago predicted a general strike of dock laborers all over the world, appeared to be still confident that their predictions will prove true, but those who view the question from the empioyers’ standpoint believe that such a trike is not within the realm of poss bility. The largest gathering of Non-conform- ist churchimen ever had will take place on March 9 next in the City Temple, London. Although called a Congress of Evangelical Free Churches, and really a pure Non- conformist assemblage, the Arcgbiqhop cf Canterbury, the Bishop of Rochester and other eminent English churchmen have written Jetters of sympathy with the movement. The elimination of all religious or polit- ieal polemics from the ggenda of the congress accounts for the support of the action by English prelates. The pro- gramme cannot exclude ail controversial matter, but all subjecis are, it is under- stood, ‘to be treated on a broad Christian basis. The Lord Mavor will give the dele- gates, lay and clerical, who will come from all parts of the United Kingdom, a recep- tion at the Mansion House. Silently, if not secreily, the English Government has raised the forces at the Cape of Good Hove from unaer 2000 to over 5000 men. The ordinary force at the Cape was a battalion of infantry and a |. detachment of artillery. Since the Boer trouble broke out drafts from India, sup- posed to be going home, have gradually been ntofipfid at the Cape, and a number of them have been sent on to Natal, The 7Transvaal Government is restless and concerned under this increase of British preparations which are ostensi- bly based on the necessity of meeting contingencies in Rhodesia. The rela- tions between the Boer Government and England are practically tnose of continn- ous mutual distrost and latent enmity. The Canadian Premier, Laurier, is ex- pected in London, accompanied by Sir Richard Cartwright, Minister of Finance, next springs The questions of assisted emigration, a fast mail service and impe- rial aid toward enlarging the defen: works on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the Dominion will be the leading topics discussed between the Canadian Ministers and Chamberlain. It is whispered in prominent theatrical quarters that the high salaries now re- ceived by leading uctors and actresses are menaced with notable diminution. The profession is getting overstocke.l and em- inent popular artists are finding them- selves 100 frequently ‘‘at liberty” for pro- longed periods. Among the actresses who are at present politelv announced as ‘“resting’ are Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Miss Evelyn Millard, Miss Elizabeth Robins, Miss Janet A. Church, :Miss Marian Terry, Miss Lily Hanbury and Mrs. Bernard Beere. Miss Millara has been “‘reciting” at be'lad con- certs and Mrs. Campbell has been giving a reading at St. James Hall. 3 In addition Mrs. Campbell, Miss Robins and Miss Church have been plaving at this week's metinees of Ibsen’s *‘Little Eyolf.” Their appearance has been in the nature of a gracious intervention, not & permanent engagement. The high sums sti:l demanded by these artists has some- thing to do with their lack of continnous employment. The days are gone when a really capable actor or actress was con- sidered paid with £100 per week, and the days are going when they can iusist upon getting £30 per week. Yvette Guilbert, the concert hall singer, | is a passenger on the American line steamer New York, which sailed from Southampton to-night. Hustled Uver the Border. OTTAWA, OxtaRIO, Nov. 28.—The at- tention of the Dominion Government has been directed by Mayor Cole of Niagara Falls, Ontario, to a case of alleged ill treatment of a British subject by the American authorities at Niagara Falls under the alien labor law. George Shar- vill, an Englishman, who resided at Niagara Falls with his family since July, was a few nights a:o waited upon by customs and police officers and uncere- moniously hurried over to_the Canadian side Gf the bridge. The Dominion Gov- ernment will call the attention of the American authorities through Sir Julian Pauncefote to this matter. o A . An +gitator Bipelled. ; LONDON, Exa., Nov. 28.—Tom Mann, the English labor agitator, who was ar- rested in the city of Hamburg and was ex‘nlled from. Germany, has arrived at Grimsby. Mann asserts thatif the sum of | £4000 conld be subscribed weekly for two or three weeks for the support of the Ham- burg strikers, the strike of the dock labor- ers there would be a success. S VT NEGOTIATING ANNEXATION, Probable Object of Minister Cooper’s Trip to This Country. HONOLULU, Hawam, Nov 2L — A strong impression now exists in Honolulu that Minister .Cooper’s errand to the United States last month is nothing less than to assist Minister Hatch at Washing- ton in negotiating a treaty of annexation with President Cleveland. Cooper took the Government stenographer along as private secretary, a strong indication that his errand was of peculiar importance. Itis not learned why the President is be- lieved to have changed his mind as now to be approachable on the subject of an- nexation. It is highly probatle that Cooper hopes in some way to serve the cause of annexation. S S Foosevelt Hecovering. LONDON, ExG., Nov. 28.—James R. Roosevelt, first secretary of the United States Embassy, who has been confined to bed for several days with nervousness,was able to drive out yesterday, but is still ex- treme!y weak.

CHICAGO, Irn, Nov. 28.—Rudolph Aaronson, formerly one of the managers of the New York Casino Theater, is made defendant in a bill for divorce filed by Alma A. Aaronson in the Circuit Court.
