THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1897.
LATE TELEGRAMS.
LONDON, October 4th, The question bonically asked by the Conier vative press, scisive to the whereabouts of the Liberal leaders, has been answered during the past week by the spreches of John Morley, former Secretary for Ireland; H. E. Arquith, former Home Secretary, and George E. Russell, Former Under-Secretary for Indle. "Disgrace abroad, and disaster at home! was the tenor of all the speeches, as was to be expected, but it must be admitted that the sialgnment is sp. pieved by the consciences of many Canter- valves, when they recall the record of the last few ream. Mr. Rustell, to dealing with the stufect, recalled Prince Blamarck verdict of Lord Salisbury as being "a lath painted to look like iron," and Lord Randolph Churchill's late cutimate of the Premier as being the greatest funk in Europe," Mr. Russell added his own opinion of Lord Sailbusy, namely, "frailty, thy nime is Cecil." The recent by-election in East Denbighshire, recallig la agically increased Liberal majority, seems to be a warning that the people are wearying of the blandering_which bas marked Lord Sallabury's policy. Mr. Rastell recalls recent instances in which he said Lord Salisbury "always started with Ene display of vigor, which deres away ax 1000 an bis op- ponenta show figh? " Contluuleg, Mr. Russellsald that Lord Salisbury backed down before Secre- tary Olney, and is now backing down before Secretary Sherman, and that_daring the course of the proceedlogs tween Greece and Turkey the Thar handled Lord Salisbory no effectually that he was made to eat his own prenounce. ment. Mr. Roll concluded with remarking ; "His Lezdship has just conc. Jed the French fall sovereignty over Tanis, and signs are not wanding that they will soon begin to elbow us out of Egypt. Even the Mussalmaa savages of India have taken heart, knowing that they are short; there are no limits to the endurance of dealing with a mere man of the world In

You have tried South Africk and Australia, and now give Canada a chance." Lord Dufferin also uttered some glowing words for Canada and the result was that a strong company will be formed to develop British Co lombia and the Yakos galà deposits.

LONDON, October 5th, Edward Langtry, the former husband of Mrs. Lily Langtry, the actress, who it is said, was privately married to Prince Paul Esterhazy, has been found wandering in a demented condition on the railway Hae near Chester, and has been sept to a lunatic asylum.
The condition of Edward Langtry is the same this morning as when he was admitted yesterday into an asylum for the insane. The sadden breakdown of Langley's health is strange and anexpected. Up to the present he has always colored the best physical condition. He was ardent sportsman, Hred a great deal out of doors and was temperate in his habitu.
A sensational report was published this morn- leg under resere by the Daily Chronicle of this city, that a strong London syndieste bad sent General Osborne, an offer to purchase the Union the United States Government, through Consal-
Pacific Railroad, bised on the fact that at the request of an Englishman whose name is not di- valged, the consul-general's office cabled Attor acy-General McKeon's asking if the road could be purchased by an Englishman, The Attorney. General replied that it would be sold to the highest bidder irrespective of nationality. The affair is not regarded seriously here by financiers.
