LONDON. July 2S. Almost as remark
able as the breakdown of lnng-estahllshed
social customs before the troplrnl wnve Is
the break-up of the liberal party. With a
general election far distant, the condition of
iho liberal par'y would be serious, but In
view of the fact (hat the country Is face lo
face Willi dissolution tho sltuntlon of (he
opposition seems hopeless. The formation
of a third parly Is generally considered al
most Inevitable ns the result of the Internal
dissensions now raging In the liberal ranks.
The Imperialists hao thrown off the mask
nnd demanded control of the patty, main
taining that both' by numbers and Inllucnce
thoy are entitled to dletute lis policy. In
this they are opposed by the "forwards, or
nntl-lmpcrlallM liberals, with n vigor and
bitterness that can only be compnred to tho
nscerblly with which tho Glndstonlans as
sailed the liberal unionists when home rule
brought the parting of the ways.
Tho climax of tlie strife thai has been
simmering since the commencement of (he
Poor war came Wedm-sdny. when one-third
of tho liberal parly voted to condemn the
colonial secretary, Joseph Chumberlaln, and
all his work. One-third voted with the gov
ernment to sustain him, while the smallest
section of all, It. eluding the nominal leader,
abstained from voting nl all.
It la scarcely surprising thnt Sir Henry
Catnpbcll-llnnnerman should be nnxlous to
throw up his thankless task, but that only
represents a minor feature of this grave
situation. Ono of the liberal whips, Wil
liam Alexander McArthur. member for
Leicester, has openly thrown oft allegiance
by voting with the government, an nlmoht
unprecedented netlnn on the part of ono
holding such n position. Herbert Gladstone,
the chief whip. Is on the point of resigning
lo show disgust with what ho believes to
he the disloyally of Sir Hdward Grey and
others who follow blm.
Meanwhile tho Imperialist section has de
manded thai Sir Edward Grey assume the
leadership, which would bo another wny of
bringing I-ord Itobeliery .back Into active
political life. Such a development would
never bo sunllowi'd by John Moiicy, Wil
frid Luwson, Henry labouchnre, Leonard
Courtney and their followers. Campbell-
llanncrmau's consent, under pressure. Id
temporarily retain Iho leadership Is but n
slim guarantee of pence within the 1 1 lie ml
ranks, for upon any repetition of Wednes-
lay's scene he will promptly resign. It Is
Impossible In sec how such a repetition can
bo avoided nml so another secession from
ho liberal rinks, equaling In gravity the
spill of ISSfi, mny confidently be expected.
Worried I1011I l out.
Tho government Is considering the np-
polntment of it royal commissioner on thn
urstion of tho future of Iho naval coal
upply. This nctlon Is largely due lo tho
Increasing production nnd cheapness of
American co.il nnd tho diminishing supply
of Welsh sleam coal, with which war nhlps
are furnished.
Four members of tho wnys nnd means
committee of tho United States house of
representatives were In Loudon this week,
namely: Chairman Sereno E. Payne, Con
gressmen Chnrles H. Grosvenor of Ohio, O.
W. Steele of Indiana nnd John Dnlzcll of
ennsylvanln. All of these gentlemen camn

Of the host of other Amcrlcnn notables
recently arrived may bo mentioned Gcorgo
Gould of New York. Charles T. Yorkes of
