rhe Gladstone Ministry nesurue.

Many members of the House of Lords also
Disraeli entered the House loud cheers
were successfully raised by their respective
supporters. When Gladstone rose to make
bis statement the cheering was repeated,
this time from all parts of the chamber.
Gladstone said he was now able to ac-
quaint the House with the fact that he and
his colleagues in Office, with her Majesty's
permission, were prepared to carry on the
Government as heretofore. He explained
fully that it was only after the party oppo-
site had Internationally refused to form
Ministry that he and bis friends had con-
sented to resume offics. Gladstone added
that the Queen had given him permission
to read an extract from the statement he
had made to her Majesty. 1t was to the
effect that be did not suppose that the ef-
forts Of the gentlemen OF the opposition to
defeat the Government were made with
the deliberate intention of refusing to Or
| ganize a Cabinet, if it should be requinsd of
them; but the summary refusal given when
the occasion arose, he considered not fully
in accord with the exigencies of the case
nor with parliamentary usage. The Pre-
mier's statement was frequently interrupt
| ed by applause which was warm and long
| continued.
At the close Disraeli explained the course
he had thought proper to pursue since the
beginning OF the crisis. He confessed that
the difference between himself and the
Irish Catholics were insurmountable. A
new Cabinet would require until Easter to
get it into working order. Even then it
would have to deal with financial estimates
made by its predecessor, and would proba-
bly, be out-voted every night in Parliament.
A dissolution of the House, had been sug-
gested, but why dissolve the sitting? On
the opposition benches he heard his friends
had difficulty in forming a policy on so
short notice, and it was not to
be expected that they could appeal to the
| country without policy on questions mora
important than that of the Irish university
bill. There were many questions on which
| it had been imp ssible to mature policy
| even in opposition, such as the Central
Asian difficulties, the new rules introduced
into international law by the Geneva Board,
the payment of the award for the Alabama
claims, the council treaty with France and
others of equal magnitude. All things on
sidered, he felt it to be his duty to de-
cline the responsibility of organizing new
Government. The Queen herself had sug-
gested the dissolution of Parliament He
had declined to advise such a step, and
stated to Her Majesty that, in his opinion,
there was no adequate reason for the Gov
eminent to resign, and that it might re-
turn to office without the slightest loss of
honor and TO the greatest possible convent
ence of the public interests.
Disraeli closed with the remark that
possibly some of his supporters in the
House might be dissatisfied, to which Their
were loud cries of no, no.
The Riot at wOIverhamptOn.
The riot at WolVerhsmpton the day be-
fore yesterday was between coal miners
employed in that vicinity. The trouble
brewing for some days eliminated in an
open conflict. Over 100 were arrest
ed. The English miners threaten to strike
unless the Irish employees are discharged.
The shop-keepers of Northampton are
experimenting rioting and depredations, and
are closing their places in much alarm.

The Priest of Santa Cruz-Is He q
Ku.kIux Fiction.
PARIS, March 20.-Important correspon-
dence has passed between France and
Spain. 1t grew out of certain atrocities
perpetrated by the Carlist Chief, "The
Cure of Santa Cruz" The French Govern
ment complained that Santa Cruz and his
band had killed four French officials on the
Northern Spanish railway and carried four
others into the mountains. CASTELAR, in re-
ply expresses regret at their outrages. He
remarks however that most of
the Carlists were equipped |
in France, whence they have since |
drawn supplies, money and provisions.
The Cure of Santa Cruz himself sojourned |
some time in Bayonne before passing into
Spain, and was not interfered with. Num-
bers of Carlists wear the uniform of the |
French Mobiles, and many Frenchmen of |
no de rank are serving with the insurgents. |
He states, in conclusion, that the govern
ment is taking all measures to pun stop to |
these excuses, and recently seized as hos
tages the mother and sister Of the Cure of |
Santa Cruz.
