“AGE” SPECIALS.

London, Nov. 1L Tlie anticipation that the a.s. Indus would float into deep water after the removal of some of her cargo, has not been realised. The vessel sustained more damage through the mishap than was supposed, and has foundered. The passengers and mails were saved and are being transhipped on board the s.s. Clyde, which was sent to the assistance of the Indus. Mr W. E. Gladstone, addressing a public meeting at Edinburgh, declared that the question of Church disestablishment was not to be regarded as a test question at the general elections. He strongly denounced the Tory party for raising it. Nov. 13. The Home Office was requested to receive a deputation of sympathisers with Mr Stead. The deputation was to be led by Mr Varley, a Revivalist, who desired to plead for a remission of the sentence passed upon the former in connection with the Lily Armstrong abduction case. The Home Office, however, declined to receive the deputation. The Dissenters in Scotland are indignant at the evasive attitude assumed by Mr Gladstone on the question of the disestablishment of the Church. Lord Selbourne, Lord High Chancellor, has announced that he will decline to support the Liberal party if they should adopt an attitude of hostility to the Church of England, Sir Richard Cross, Home Secretary has issued an order that Mr Stead shall be treated as a first-class misdemeanant. Nov. 15. The Earl and Countess Dalhousie have taken passage to New Zealand by the New Zealand Shipping Company’s steamer Kaikoura. The Commission comprising representatives of England and Russia, which was appointed to deal with the delimitation of the Afghan frontier, has assembled at Zulfikar. Nov. 13. Reuter’s telegrams have been published attributing the Parliamentary deadlock in Queensland to the influence of Victoria. The report has caused considerable sensation.
