Show THE SITUATION IN ENGLAND A MEMBER of parliament writing from london to the san ban francisco chronicle gives the following particulars of the political situation in england 1 I believe the present determination of lord salisbury is not to resign but to call parliament together early in august and go on with business in the usual way A speaker will be elected who shall be sworn in and there will be a queens speech and a long debate upon it and the Gladston ians will move an amendment designed to turn out the government all this will occupy three weeks many of the conservatives do not see why they should be kept in london for the aake of fighting a hopeless battle but the object in ig to get mr gladstone committed to some definite statement about his irish policy some of his own followers will want to know what he means to do and the anti though few in number will make it warm for him if lord salisbury were to resign without summoning parliament mr gladstone could practically avoid meeting in the new house till next february and thus gain nearly seven months for drilling his forces and shaping his hi course first of all however he must go to midlothian Mid lothian as soon as he is appointed antas prime rime minister to get elected again and as his majority was so terribly cu cut down the other day this is not a pleasant ordeal to face the same remark applies to mr morley who may very possibly be beaten on a now new election thus the troubles of the Gladston ians have already begun moreover I 1 am assured on good authority that the leader has suffered not a little from his exertions during the late contest and that hi his health is in anything but a satisfactory state A contested election is bound to find out a mans weak spots especially when he is in his eighmy third year |
