With a Review of Europe the Past Year. 11 PARLIAMENTRRY FORECAST. New York, (Dec. 31.-Ha«rold Frederic vubles irom London to The Times: Here in England 'in 1595 will prob- ably see the- general election and return- nf the Tories to power for a. term: of years. It is understood that Mr. Bal- four will be Premier tkiis time, with Lord Salisbury in the Foreign Oiiice, nix-d that the Duke of Dovonshire. Sir Henry James and one or two other Unionists will take. Cabinet offices. It will be all the better for, the Liber- als to go into the; Opposition. Their present tiny majority is powerlws for good in Parliament, and Lord Rose- .bery’s official leadership paralyzes them outside. To get rid of him will be. worth more to them than even another year or more of office. When they go into the Opposition we shall see what there is in Asquith. Mor- ley is extinguished, and Harcourt is too old and obstinate. The Liberal fu- ture belongs to Asquith if he proves big enough to control it.

In Germany there was the removal of Count Von Caprivi from the Chancellor- ship of the Empire, the appointment of Prince von Hohenlohe in his place and grave symptoms of p0pu1ar discontent. In France we had the assassination of President Carnot and the election of Casimir-Pericr to succeed him. England has had proof of the powerlessness of the Liberal party to accomplish any- thing.

As to What relates to the social: ques- tion it is well to call attention to the rapid progress of anti-smuitism in France and Germany and the advance of social- ism all over Eux-upc.

To prevent this ropes are now made of cotton over a center of small pieces of cork, which cannot sink. The many advantages offered by this improvement are obvi- ous. For life saving apparatus the adoption of such rope will be especially useful. As it will float under all circum- stances, such a rope will show a lost an- chor or dragnet, or if rolled up may even be used for a life buoy. It the cork centerpieces are even and wellâ€"fit- ted cylindrical pieces they will not in- terfere in the least either with the sup pleness or the strengh of the rOpu.
