LATEST CABLE NEWS. Mr Gladstone's Critics

[per pkbss association.]

London, November 9 The Radical press are much incensed at Mr Gladstone giving his advice to correspondents regarding the liquor traffic, veto by the House of Lords, religious matters, and also on education matters and State schools. They de clare that Mr Gladstone ought to have remained silent after retiring from the leadership.

THE LATE CZAR.

St. PeteksbukGj November 9 It has been arranged that 2000 of the poor m the city shall be entertained at a banquet after the death of the Ozar. The body of the Czar is clad m the uniform of the oldest regiment, and is covered with a purple mantle. The journey here will occupy eight days. The body is lying m state at the various cities en route. All other trains are stopped. The population along the route continually meet m prayer.

THE PACIFIC CABLE

Ottawa, November 10 The Hon. MoKenzie Bowell, Mini ster of Trade and Commerce, has received six tenders for each of the eight routes for the Pacific cable. All the are below the estimate drawn up by Mr feandford Fleming. The details are to be sent to the Colonial Governments.

American State Elections.

Washington, November 9 In discussing the general election, General Harrison, ex-President, says that the result proves that a yaet majority are m favor of protection. He considered that the more ardent supporters of protection favoured a change m the schedules of the tariff * rather than an alteration of the prin-, ciple. He himself was willing to support a policy of reciprocity m order to obtain foreign markets.

ENGLAND'S FOREIGN RELATIONS

London, November 9 At the Birthday banquet m the Guildhall the Premier said the sky was not entirely clear owing to the war m the East, but the barometer was not falling, and the British Government were prepared to join m any pacific efforts to restore peace. England, he said, had acted through out hand, and hand with Russia, and the relations between the two countries were never more cordial than at present. Lord Roseberry re ferred m a feeling manner to the death of the Czar, and trusted his successor would be equal to the enormous responsibilities attaching to the posi tion. He alluded to the alliance with Prance m the Crimea, and declared it was his desire always to fight shoulder to shoulder, not m war, but m peaceful rivalry. The three dangers of peace were, he thought, the enormous armaments, an unreflecting Press, and armed explorations. The last was a real danger, which he thought would continue until the Powers interested, especially m Africa, recognised their various spheres of influence. He re joiced to see the colonial expansion of other Powers, because it would con duce to peace, and also be the means of extending commerce. The Premier said work m connection with the delimitation of Russia and British spheres m Central Asia had ter minated.

NEW ZEALAND AND SAMOA

London, November 10 Lord Rosebery said the rumors that 23ew Zealand desired to administer the affairs of Samoa were too ridiculous for official contradiction, but such a state ment appearing m the newspapers aroused a suspicion which it was im possible for any diplomatic assurances to remove. The Premier's earnest avowal that he was convinced of the necessity of upholding the external and internal interests of the Empire was warmly applauded.

THE NEW HEBRIDES.

Volcanic Eruption

.Fig-toting- and Cannibalism

Sydney, November 12 News from the New Hebrides re ports that the volcano on Ambrym burst into eruption, and the lava set fire to the native huts. Some natives ■were killed, but it is believed the fatalities are not heavy. The embers fell for a radius of ten miles. The natives on Pentecost and Tanna are killing each other as fast as oppor tunity occurs. One village m Pente cost revolted against the chief, killed liia household, then attacked the neigh boring villages, and slaughtered half the community and ate a number of the victims. On Santo, several natives also -who had got fat on plantains m Fiji were killed and eaten within a ■week of their return home.

THE COREAN WAR.

Shanghai, November 9 A war levy of 12s per head has been proclaimed m Hankow. November 10. Two American inventors of torpedos have undertaken to destroy the Japanese Squadron under Chinese promises of a large reward. Captain Hannekin is strengthening the forts at Pekin. Great Britain and other Powers are urging China to enter into negotiations with the Japanese Government direct for the settlement of the trouble, the latter having intimated their willing ness to consider any proposals. The Russian Naval officers m Tientsin; have been instructed to join with the British m an endeavor to bring about a reconciliation. It is alleged that officers of the Chinese fleet when outside Port Arthur were ordered to attack the Japanese, but declined, declaring that the Chinese officials were callous as to the fate of the empire and the people were indifferent.
