IMPERIAL POLITICS.
m to Panes Association.! LONDON, July 22. In the House of Commons to-day the Premier submitted the new financial clauses with respect to the Home Rule Bill. These fix the contribution by the Irish legislature at .£2,300,000. Mr «T. Chamberlain, in discussing the clauses, asserted that Ireland was now asked to pay .£55,000 less than at present, and £1,800,000 less than she ought to pay. Mr J. Redmond characterised the new clauses as neither generous nor just. A yellow book issued by the French Government shows that a number of arrogant despatches were sent from the French Government to England respecting Lord Cromer's treatment of Abbas Pasha in Egypt, and the alarm experienced ia France at the increase of the British army in Cairo. The despatches show Mr Gladstone's attitude to have been firm throughout. It in expected that the House of Lords will by ten to one reject the Home Rule Bill. July 23. In the House of Commons yesterday, Sir E. Grey, Parliamentary Undersecretary at the Foreign Office, refused to explain the terms of Russia's demands respecting the Pamirs. He explained that negotiations were still proceeding, and that in a despatch the Czar has assured the Imperial Government that the reported advance of a Russian expedition iv the Pamirs was without foundation.
