The Japanese Commander, "Saina gate, with an army, is m the vicinity of Yalu, and Count Ozama, with a force, is said to be investing Port Arthur.

LORD ROSEBERRY

Jinportunt Speeches Tlt« House of lords Threatened London, October 28 Lord Rosebery, speaking at Brad ford, dwelt on the immensity of the task m dealing with the JTouse of Lords. He said he was not inclined to move m the matter at present, as the majority of Government m this Parliament was too small, and Govern ment would, before entering fully into the question, require a special mandate of the country, backed up by an over whelming maiority at the polls The campaign would, he said, require wariness m carrying it out, and patience. It would not be an affair of rosewater. He warned his hearers not to look for immediate results, as it would be a hopeless task to attempt to carry the House of Lords by storm or rush. He concluded his speech during an impressive scene of excite ment with the remark—"We fi?ng down the gauntlet: you must back as." Lord Eosebery m announcing his resolution that the House of Commons should be the predominant partner m the partnership with the House of Lords, said he was really a new charac ter m one act of a great drama, and he hoped the people would fight with the same stubborn spirit as was displayed by their Puritan fathers. Personally, he said, he felt as if closed m a gilded dungeon with his bitterest political enemies. October 29. The Liberal newspapers are jubilant at Lord Rosebery's defiant challenge. The Times considers the Premier is dragged at the wheels of a fanatical folly, which he scarcely pretends to regard as national. The Standard follows m a similar strain, and declares the speech an electioneering one. Some of the Radical organs doubt the wisdom of jeopardising the New castle programme for a crusade against the House of Lords.

THE CZAR.

St. Peteksbitrg, October 29 The Czar's condition is unchanged. The Press refer m grateful terms to Lord Kosebery's remarks as to the Czar being a factor of peace, LohdoN, October 23 The Times asserts that the medical attendants are now more satisfied with the results of their treatment of the Czar. A bulletin states that M. Grube, the French specialist, has successfully tapped the Czar for dropsy.
