Sir Robert Morier, British Ambassador at St Petersburg, has had frequent interviews with the Czar. The Emperor of Germany visits Scotland in July. A number of stones were aimed at Mr Gladstone as he was entering a railway carriage, but they went wide of the mark, and sma&hed windows in the adjoining carriage. At. a great Home Rule meeting in Hyde Park, resolutions denouncing "ifi obstruction of the Home Rule Bill by tbe Conservatives were carried. It is stated that only a few of the evicted tenants in Ireland were re* | lieyed, although large sums of money were collected for that purpose. Great preparations are being made for Lord Salisbury's visit to Belfast and Derry. It is estimated that nearly a quarter of a million people attended the Home Rule meeting in Hyde Park. Mr Davitt said the Tories feared, and desired to prevent, a real union of the peoples of the two countries. Immense enthusiasm was shown by the supporters of Home Rule. Members of the House of Commons spoke at 12 platforms. They hailed the prpspeet of a conflict with the House of Lords with delight, and claimed that the huge gathering that day indicated that the sympathy of the , bulk of the workers in Great Britain was with them.
