[Special to News.] London, July 29. It is currently reported that the Marquis of Salisbury intends to make a strong bid for the rote of the whole Irish party

by introducing a sweeping measure of reform for Ireland, which will be equiva» lent to the granting of Home Rule. It is understood that should Lord Salisbury effect legislation of this character, Mr Parboil and his party will accord to the present Conservative Ministry their sup port, and in that event the Conservative tenure of r.ffice is likely to be a long one. A well known baronet, occupying a hiph political place, and who was formerly a Ministerial Under Secretary, is now figuring as co-respondent in a divorce suit ponding against him for his alleged relations with a well known lady occupy- ; ing a high social position in London j society, and renowned for her beauty. ! In couscquence of the excitement which the scandal has created, the incriminated politician has been compelled to cancel for the time being all his political eugagements. The proceedings in the Divorce Court promise to be very sensational, and to lift the curtain of London society somewhat higher than it has ever been' before.
