Ireland, Esz Spencer said, would only be witifled with self-government, but the passing of any ench measure by Parliament was very distant. It was his consistent belief flut it was likelier that the Unionists would carry such a measure thna the Liberals.

The Daily Chronicle believes that tho Government, after its Irish Land Purchase Bill has been disposed of by Parliament, will introduce a bill for establishing a Roman Catholic University in Ireland, ulso auch a measure of self-government for Ireland us would he called Home Rulo if the Liberals introduced it. The Liberals will thus, says the Idity Chronicle, be relieved of a responsibility which is weighing upon them like an incubus.

In the Ifouse of Lords on the 1st inst. Lord Tweedmouth (Liberal) moved for the production of additional papers relating to Venezuela. The Marquis of Lansdowne, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, depied that there had been any risk of alienating United States sympathy in the Venezuelan affair. Germany had assured the Government at Washington early in 1002 that in whatever actia she might take against Venezuels she did not intend the smallest acquisi- tion of territory either on the mainland of South America or of the adjacent islands. Britain's official intimation to Washington con- cerning the blockade of the Venezuelon ports was made, the Foreign Minister said, in November, but we had the good reason for A Blue-Book has been issued regarding laud knowing how the United States Government settlement in, and restocking of the Transvaal. was likely to regard our action.
