Notes from London • ALL THE GOSSIP OF TOWN AND CLUBS. Still Leaning on the G-.O.M.—Large Estates Out of Fashion.— Danger All IBound. It is quite decided that Mr. Gladstone is to visit Lincoln, but not till Friday. It is understood! he is staying in town to be at the service of the Cabinet, who particularly desire his advice in the matter of the Speaker- ship. Mr. Gladstone has already been con- sulted, and it is understood that the cabinet on Tiiur-sday might have again to refer to him. Of course, lie has other engagements in town. After visiting Lincoln, iio will go to Hawarden. LAKGE ESTATES OUT OF FASHION. Two immediate dangers confront the Govern- ment, and they are comiecteu together. On the Budget the Government may be defeated any day; and if they are defeated on the Budget, it will be on whisky. Budget prospects are not flattering. The crushing death duties imposed by tite Act of last year have, up to the present been a disastrous failure. Since the Act came into operation big estates have gone out of fashion. There has not been one estate of a million, and. I believe, only two coming under the half-a- million scale. A typical case is that of Lord Swansea. Everyone expected that his estate would have been sworn at over a million, and, lo it is under a quarter of a million I The result is that the finanoial arrangements of the Government will be seriously affected. The Chancellor will be hardly pressed to make both ends meet, to say nothing of taking off the extra sixpence on whisky, which it was definitely promised would only be for one year. The Irish members will ,ha.ve to insist on the bargain being kept, under peril of their .seats. In spite, therefore, of the enormous increase of taxation last year, the Chancellor will still be a hard-up Chancellor. DANGER ALL ROUND. The other great risk the Government have to face is that of Local Option. The condi- tion of the pm-ty is faithfully reflected in what haiS happened in Kennington. There Mr. Bea-ufoy, who has definitely refused to vote for Local Option, has been chosen a/gain as Liberal candidate by 127 votes to 99. The teetotalers there figure as nearly half of the Liberal executive, but that is far beyond their strength in the constituency. There is no doubt that if the Chancellor introduces his Local Option Bill he will find himself in as bad a pickle as the Local Optionists of Ken- niington. We may, therefore, take it that the introduction of this Bill will implv that the Government are riding for a fall. "If it were pressed, it would certainly rend that party, but as at present advised there is not the slightest chance of it getting even a first read- ing. WORKING-MAN DIRECTOR. Mr. Mundella is greatly taken with Mr. Livesay's proposal to admit a Labour director to the board of the South Metropolitan Gas Company, and is delighted that the House supported his effort to carry the pro- posal. Mr. Mundella is of opinion that Mr. L'vfis jy's new departure may have ^osfc' ihi- port-ant results. He is going to watch it carefully, and to help it on as far as he ca<n, supposing that results justify the experiment. Moreover, Mr. Mundella is of opinion that Mr. Livesay is a far-seeing and clever man, whose efforts deserve success. ME.^ CHAMBERLAIN'S FUTURE. The article in the "New Review" that will be out to-morrow on "Two Demagogues'' is even more sensational than I had antici- pated. Its importance cannot be exagge- rated, for the author, who signs himself "z throws <ut delicate hints which lead to the conclusion that he is a leader among the Tories. The chief interest m tne article lies not so much in the close parallel "Z.M traces between the career of Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr. Chamberlain as m the extremely frank way m which he speaks of Mr. Chamberlain and his future. He has contempt for rather than fear of Mr. Chamberlain. For instance, he tells us that "Mr. Chamberlain has never to this day quite freed his garments and phylacteries from the fustiness and flue which men observe in the back parlour of the provin- ce! mayor." Again, lie broadly tells us that Mr. Chamberlain's sacrifices for the Union have never been made. On the con- trary, he has enjoyed the sweets of Dic- tatorship. But; adds "Z. there must be no more of that "something outside the Treasury Bench which makes for unrighteousness, but the Unionist party must 'nake Mr. Chamberlain a responsible Minister the moment it has the opportunity. "Z." is good enough to add that no man in England is capable of better and more useful work so long as he is driven and is not, on say aooount, allowed tc drive. LEADERSHIP IMPOSSIBLE. The whole moral of "Z.'s" article is that Mr. Chamberlain is impossible as a leader. He tells us that in the demagogue the very qualities or endowments which command success unfit him for leadership and make dictatorship impossible. "He does iiis work, and gets his reward in the shape of honours and official rank. But if we are wise we will not let him drive the coach." As his reward for ser- vice to the Unionist cause "he is entitled to lay hands on a great deal. But the right to dictate a policy lies, and must ever lie, outside his reach." For this reason, writes "Z." —"On more than one occasion during the first session of the Home Rule Parliament the Govern- ment might, and would, have been defeated but for Mr. Chamberlain's resolve to have the demagogue's reward. Even in the session which is still with us there were one or two manoeuvres which brought no credit to the Opposition, but helped to show up an Ad- ministration long since tottering to its fall; and for this the responsibility is laid—aind rightly—at his door." The writer of all this declares that he would rather have signed it with his name than not, and has only been afraid of committing a party or a. section of a party. Under these circumstances, I do not think the identity of "Z." will long remain a secret. SIR EDWARD CLARKE. Sketching Sir Edward Clarke in the Hcnwe the other night, I mentioned that he wa. short of stature. I ventured on this pergonal touch because I happen to know that the subject is not distasteful to Sir Edward. On the contrary, it is one of the best jokes/he has. He carries in his pocket a cutting from a provincial paper, which he is never tired of showing to his friends as a standing joke against himself. The cutting is a description given of Sir Edward as he appeared at one of the big meetings he has addressed in the country. The reporter therein describes how "the great lawyer a.rose, and stretching himself to his full length," and so on. SIR FRANK LOCKWOOD AND YORK. Sir Edward Clarke made a curious slip in his speech when he intimated that Sir Frank Lockwood became junior member for York us a result of abandoning his pledge not to vote against Disestablishment. As a matter of fact, Sir Frank has never got beyond being junior member for York. If, however. Sir Edward had borne his electoral records care- fully. in mind, he would have remembered that the result of Sir Frank joining the Libe- rators would have been that lie would have ceased to represent York at all if the Tories had run two candidates instead of one. The Tories only ran one candidate-Mr. Butcher. Sir Frank accordingly became second mem- ber, as being the least unpopular of the two Liberator Home Rulers who insulted the oagitail of the North with their candidature.

Satisfactorily, MR. MACLEAN: Yes, Waddington, the glass is going up, and no mistake. We are evidently going to have a fine time!

CARDIFF REPRESENTATION A LABOUR CANDIDATE TO TAKE THE FIELD. Unless the Cardiff Liberal Thousand smarten up they will find themseves forestalled by tho Independent Labour party. We are b- formed that the Independent Labourists have SCt'a iv< a "caHafa&tS" wtkriT w!lling and -.>agei' to take the field against all comers, especially agiunst the plutocratic Radicals who rule the Thousand. The Independents profess to be much incensed against Mr. Robert Bird, and r-ake a point of saying that Mr. Bird's action is the chief cause in moving them to decide on bi iJlg-ing out a candidate. We are not permitted to know the name of the gallant gentleman, but the Independent leader who supplies the infor- mation assures us that the candidate is well kwewn to and in close touch with the industrial clashes in the town.

SINGULAR LIBEL ACTION. LADY MANSEL AND THE MUSIC- HALL PROPRIETOR. Justice Lawrance at Liverpool tried on Wednesday an action by Lady Mansel, widow of the late Sir Richard Mansel, music-hall artiste, for libel against the proprietor of the Park Palace and Paddington Music halls, Liverpool. The libel consisted in. after the first performance (when the defendant charged the plaintiff with being a faiJurel, changing Lady Mansel's turns from premier position on the playbills to first turn in the first nightly per- formance. This mark of indignity she re- sented. On the second week of the engage- ment Lady Mansel's name was in small type on the playbills, and rt the bottom instead of at the top of the performance, counsel contending that the way in which the artistes' names were pub- lished were the life and soul of their reputation. —According to the evidence of John Hollins- head, Pitt Hardaore, Charles Coborn, and Mr. Chirgwin (known as the "White-Eyed Kaffir") the altered position of the plaintiff on the play- bills of the second week's engagement neoes- sarilv reflected on*Lady Mansel as an artiste, taking into account that these bills were cir- culated amongst the profession.—The jury awarded Lady Mansel B100 damages against the proprietor of the Paddington Music-hall, and £ 50 against the Park Palace Music-hall. The printer of the bills and the programmes was sued in connection with printing the same. —A verdict was returned in his favour.

SHIPBUILDING TRADE. WHY IT IS A DEAD INDUSTR IN AMERICA. A London shipping correspoi dent writes:- The action brought by the owners of the steam- ship Sapphire (Messrs. Christie aad others, Cardiff) against the Royal Exchange Assurance Corporation to recover a balance of 21,842, due, as they alleged, on the policy, resulted, as alrevdy reported in the "Western Mail," in a finding for the plaintiffs. The case shed an interesting light on the state of labour in Ameri- can ports, and: fuliy explained why shipbuilding in the United States has become almost a dead industry. The claim was mostly for difference iI, wages between the English rate and the United States rate paid for repairing the steamer after being ashore. This difference amounted to £ 10,000, and showed that the rate of wages paid in shipbuilders' and repairers' yards in United States ports is in excess of those paid in English yards by 123 per cent.

WELSHMAN'S SIMPLICITY. DUPED BY A REGIMENTAL CORPORAL AT WREXHAM. A native of Anglesey arrived at Wrexham on Monday with money to buy off his brother, who had enlisted in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. He interviewed a corporal of that regiment, and was so impressed with his importance that he handed XIO to him, under the impression that he would at once release his brother. Having obtained the money the corporal levanted." On Tuesday the young man from the country obtained a warrant for the apprehension of the corporal for fraud, and the military authorities are also on the look-out for the deserter.

RATING AT SWANSEA. A SAVING OF THREEPENCE IN THE POUTffD. At a meeting of the finance committee of the Swansea County Council on Wednesday the statistics for the year were reviewed with a view of seeing if reductions in the probable expenditure were not possible. The result was the cutting down of items which would make possible a rate of 3s. 9d. in the £ instead of one of 4s. as proposed.

-? BOOKMAKERS QUARREL. ONE OF THEM GETS SHOT IN FIVE PLACES. A Dalziel's telegram from Paris on Wednes- day cuys:—An exciting scene was witnessed at the Northern Railway Terminus this morning just iiefore the departure of the morning ex- press for1 Calais in connection with'The London service. An American bookmaker, named Wendel Read, was registering his luggage for London, when another bookmaker, an Irish- mm, named Thomas O'Brien, rushed at him with a large revolver in his hand, and fired three shots. Read fell, and O'Brien then emptied the other three chambers of the revolver, all the shots taking effect. O'Brien was at once seized, and his victim was carried to a waiting- room, where he recovered consciousness, and was then conveyed to the hospital. His condi- tion was there regarded as very serious, no less than five of the bullets having taken effect. Read has two bullets in the back, two in the breast, and one in the head, while the sixth, which struck him just over the heart, would cer- tainly have killed him had it not encountered a silver cigarette case which he carried in his breast-pocket. O'Brien said that he had always told Read he would kill him,* giving as his reason that they had quarrelled over a question of money in America. The revolver O'Brien used Mas of heavy calibre, and in addition a large dagger was found on him. Read, who was able to give his account of the affair to-night, admitted that they had had a dispute over m>ney.

COMMERCIAL CRISIS. THE FAILURE OF AN ALDER- MAN. Following on the recent large commercial failures and suspensions in the Swansea dis- trict comes a rumour that further ones are likely. Several names are freely mentioned in Swansea commercial circles, the latest being that a firm with liabilities of about £ 50,000 is about to call its creditors together. The utmost uneasiness prevails .in the town. On Wednes- day afternoon Mr. Slater, solicitor, filed at Swansea a petition in bankruptcy for Alderman W. Richards, J.P., of Swansea, who is in busi- i ness as a grocer in a large way, having, in addition to a central establishment, se-veral branches. The liabilities are stated to bl about £ 11,000.

TWO "RUNNERS" DROWNED. THEY WERE LOST OFF A NEW PORT-LADEN SHIP. A Board of Trade inquiry has just been held into the circumstances attending the drowning of two "runners," named Timothy Leahy and Jeremiah Downey, from on board the steamer Captain M'Clure, the property of the Dublin General Steamship Company, on the 16th of July last while on a voyage from Newport (Mon.) to Cork. It appeared that while the two men. with three others, were engaged in setting the foretrysail, one of the sheets gave way. or was let go, with the result that, the boom swung over the side of the ship with the men hanging on to it. Leahy and Downey dropped into the water. The steamer was stopped and put astern, being able to come close to the body of Downey, which had never been lost sight of. A small boat was lowered, and the body was towed to the vessel and brought on board. Believing that life was extinct, no means were taken to restore animation. The body of Leahy wax never recovered. Judgment has hem given in the matter, the court holding that the vessel was properly fitted and had sufficient life-saving appliances in good order and ready for use, and that the captain used all diligence. The court. however, considered the second mate was to blame in having left the lyridge to assist in setting the trysail, and they also considered the captain was to blame in not having taken steps to restore animation, but that blame was not so yravc as to justify the court in suspending their certificates.

TRE SPEAKERSHIP. MR. COURTNEY IS NOW OUT OF THE RUNNING. In a large section of the Ministerial party there is still a. desire- that Mr. Courtney should be nominated for the Speakership, but the Central News has the personal authority of Mr. Courtney that- he cannot be counted upon. He was seen in the lobby on Wednesday afternoon by tho Central News correspondent. In reply to an inquiry he laughinglv said that, as far as he was concerned, the incident was closed. If it should be decided to adopt Mr. Gully. the Central News is in a position to state that the Government would do everything in its power to secure that gentleman's election. i

Lock-jaw May be Cured DOCTOR THINKS HE HAS MADE A DISCOVERY. He First 'Tells How the Terrible Disease is Absorbed, and then. Gives Instances of Cures. Scie.icj may have mastered The secret of copmg with the terrible disease known as lock- jaw, death from which has c-ften been said to be n«ore terrible than from the worst form of hydrophobia. Before the New York Medico Legal Society a paper was recently read hy. Dr. Paul Gibicr, Director of ihe New York I'aetc-ur Institute, in which he presented the interesting facts of a discovery in which i-9 claimed that anti-toiine. of tetanus is a, positive preventive, if not an absolute remedy, for lock-jaw. He entered at length into the de- tails of die preparation of the ant:-toxine. and cited numerous cases where the introduction of the wonderful fluid into the system both pre- \ct ted lock-jaw and effected cures. Tlirough a largo microscope, which Dr. Gibier had pre- viously set up an the platform, his hearers v ere enabled to peep at magnified bacili" of tetanus, with which he had charged the glass. The observers, many of whom thus tuok their first object lesson in the study of bacteriology, saw thiough the glass a myriad of globule-like objects, apparently as big .as peas, but in reality invisible to the naked eye. "1 hese are the germs which produce the ter- rible tetanus," said Dr. Gibier. "The bacili of tetanus cover all sections of the earth inha- bited by man or beast. The gtrms are indi- genous, I might say, to the soil where man or animal live. Particularly in the stable myriads and myriads of these, geims of disease have their being. The horse, more than any other annual, is susceptible to tetanus, and this may be accounted for from the fact that the filth of the stable is more conducive to the develop- ment of the tetanus bacili than any other con- 01bOll. The disease is not contracted by inhalation. It is the result of the germs being introduced into a vourd or opening of the skin. Once in the wound the genns of tetanus thrive wonder- fully, and in a, few days produce that awful condition which results in the stiffening of the muscles of the jaw, terrible convulsions and rigidity of frame, and ends in death." Dr. Gibier quoted statistics showing that 65 per ccnt. of the cases of tetanus resulted fatally, these figures including deaths on the Ijattle- field and in railway accidents. The develop- ment of tetanus among victims of railroad disas- ters, he said, was due to the introduction of the germ-charged iail into the wounds.

THE WELSH CHURCH. MEETINGS IN LLANDAFF UPPER DEANERY. A meeting of the clergy :.nd lay representa- lives of each parish in', Llandaff i firike Deanery tN rth-Eastern Divi- sion) was held on Friday at the National Schools, Caerphilly. The Rev.

Dell, diocesan organising secretary ior Church Dt fence, resolutions were curried forming a ruridecanu-1 Church Defence committee, with the rural dean as chairman and the Rev. Johu Hairis (Caerphilly) as secretary, and pledging each pariah in the deanery that has not already done so to form a parochial committee without delay.—A resolution protesting against tho Welsh Church Bill was also p&sj.ed.—A crowded public meeting was held on Tuesday evening at the Reading-room, Tondu, when addresses on the Welsh Church Bill were delivered by Councillor George David (Cardiff) and Mr. R. E. Dell (diocesan organiser). A considerable number of supporter.; of Disestablishment was present, and a large number of questions was asked of both lecturers a: d re-plied to singly, to the satisfaction of the si ajority of the audience.—The vote of thanks to the lecturerîi was seconded by one of their principal oppo- nents.
