LONDON, October 6. TÙB POLITICAL SITUATION. These are days when it is even less safe to prophesy on things political than usual, b. esuse one remembers the old adage "never prophesy till you're sure," and the situation is so mixed at this moment that one can't be mare. To my miud s fine game of blaff is going on the Lorda pretending they will out the Budget up in slices and make the Cabinet sat them, and the Cabinet reading that there is to be an cleation at once, and "the voice of an angry people," and so forth will make all opponents of the Budget sit up and beg for merey. Minis ters are going about the country saying, more or less, in regard to the Lords, "Les mo but at them! Let the old lion ron, but once at these carrish peers." And yet, at the back of it all, there is nothing cortaia and cook side is waiting for the ent to jump, so that they may shape their nations accordingly. It is, once more, the merry game of politics, nothing more

or loss.

Unless the Iris do hang up the Budget, however, which they may do towards the end of this month, by passing a resolution that it xunst first be pronounced upon by the country, the Cabinet will try to stave off the election till January 15, which is the data suiting their purpose boat, mentioned

AMERICA'S PACIFIC COAST DEFENCES.

I hear from an American oficial source that the General Staff of the American Army are busily engaged in framing a schems for facring the mobile forges at stations in the Pacific, especially in the Hawaiian Islands, in consequence of the report of General Arthur Murray, who has recently completed a tour of inspection of the Philippines and Hawaii. The fortifications at Manila Bay, Honolulz and Fearl Harbour sro now regarded as adequate, but it is contended that in onse of invasion the count artillery could not fully copo with an active and determined enemy.
