Liberals in SL James Hail, denied that
the Liberal government had courted de
feat. The Tories bad at last overthrown
the government by an alliance with the
Parnellites, with whom they had nothing
in common, and were now in an embar
rassed position. He hoped the Tories
wonld not conduct negotiations with Rus
sia in the spirit of the late speeches of Lord
Randolph Chnrchlll and the Marquis of
Salisbury. Sir William gave assurance,
however, that tb9 Tories should have fair
play, and if they labored for peace should
have the support of the Liberal parly also,
The Tories, he said, might squabble abont
their leaders, but Liberals wonld have no
dissensions abont theirs. The Liberals
were mobilizing their forces for the great
campaign. They wonld fight it for theolo
cause and with the old leader, on whose
honored head wonld be placed the crown
of final victory. The meeting was crowded

the persons to fill several offices, so that a

The Pall Mall Gaeette. of this evening,
has an editorial article, believed to be in
spired by M. Lessar, of the Russian
section of the Afghan boundary commis

that unless the Marquis of Salisbury wishes
to deepen the conviction of Russia that hit
ministry is a menace of war, he will cancel
the appointment of Lord Randolph
Ctiurchill as secretary of state for India
“Raisla,” continues the article, “alresd,
regards the Salisbury cabinet with sncl
suspicion that any andden hitch may
cause such a rapture of the negotiations
now in progress as will result in war.”

Vi'Blmn Crops,
Petersburg, Va., June 10 —Information
received through reliable private sources
from several southern counlies of Virginia
is to the effect that the crop prospects are
batter than they have been for years. Cot
ton is ten to fifteen days in advance of
what It waa lut year at this time. The
oat crop is good. Corn looks green and
vigorous on all lands not too wet for culti
vation. A few more days of good weather
will insure the destruction of the grass,
which has grown rapidly daring the recent
seasonable weather. Wheat on red lands
la inferior, but on light lands is very good,
and if not injured by rust tbe crop will be
an average one. There is a bet er stand of
tobacco and a larger crop has been Planted
than for many years. Altogether the crop
outlook is very encouraging.

view with the Qaeen yesterday a-.ter-

eral support. They rily upon moderate
Liberals to volunteer tbeir support, bnt the
Radicals will be certain lo bold aloof.
SirStafi jrd Nortbcote's acceptance of a
a peerage ia gene-ally regretted, as it wi'l
leave the Conservative leadership in the
