HOME AND FOREIGN.

Lonpon, October 29.

Lord Rosebery, speaking at Bradford, dwelt on the immensity of the task in dealing with the House of Lords. He said he was not inclined to move in the matter at present, as the majority of the Government in his Parliament was too small, and the Government would, before entering into the question, require a special mandate of the country, backed by an overwhelming majority at the poll. The campaign would, he said, require wariness in carrying it out, and very great patience. He warned his bearers 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 coucluded his speech during an impressive scene of exitement with the remark: "We fling down the guantlet: you must back us up." Beklin, October 28. The Emperor assured General Von Caprivi of his full support to the anti-Socialist measures, but afterwards withdrew it, and objected to the schemes proposed by both the Chancellor and Count Eulenberg. The Emperor held a consultation with both Ministers at the Berlin railway station, and they accompanied him to the Palace, prior to his accepting their resignations, but all his efforts to recoucile the views of Counts Caprivi and Eulenberg were fruitless. Dr Miguel is mentioned as likely to succeed Count Caprivi.

The Socialist Congress carried resolutions demanding the nationalisation of land, that producers should share in the profits, and that landlords should not be permitted to charge rents. Germany has forbidden the importation of American cattle and beef, thus beginning a policy of retaliation owing to the hostile tariff of the United States regarding beet sugar. Beklin, October 29. Prince Hohonlohe succeeds Count Caprivi as Chancellor of the German Empire, and Herr Koeller will take the portfolio vacated by the retirement of Count Eulenberg.
