TIE COMBINATION TO DEFEAT THE IRISH UNI
vERsTTr BILL-THE TORIES AND THE OFFICES.
NEW YORK, March 14.-A London special
says: "There appears to have been an uu-
derstanding between disaffeeted Liberals and
the Tory party. The latter had given out,
to secure the greatest amount of opposition
to the university bill, that its defeat should
not occasion the accession OF the Tories to
office. Some of the Conservative leaders cer-
tainly rallied the hesitating Liberals to oppose
the bill on the assurance thata Tory Ministry
would be impossible. Consequently the lead
ers, sucha Lord Carnarvon, Claiborne Hardy,
audit the Marquis Of Salisbury, resolutely refuse
to accept office. The Conservative party is
thus divided on the safety and expediency
of yenturing to govern, with Parliament
largely hostile on general principles,
although in accidental harmony on this par
ticular measure. Should this continue, Con-
servatives will maintain their present att-
tude. It is more probable, however, that
the Tories will reconsider their promise and
make an attempt to govern, counting on
getting safely through the session by only
bringing up necessary business bills, and not
venturing on any MEASURE involving diff
ference of principle"
LONDON, March 14.-The morning Journals
contain no information Of more definite
character in relation to Cabinet crisis than
| that forwarded to the United States in last
nights dispatches. The belief is entertained
that Gladstone will resume the premiership.
Lord Derby is expected to arrive in London
tomorrow.
DisraeIps visit to the Queen resulted in
granting him time. Both parties seem to fear
an appeal to the people.
Disraeli, while riding through Westmin-
ster yesterday, was enthusiastically cheered
by the popuace. Owing to the dlssension
among Conservatives he will probably refuse
to take Office.
The Queen has sent for Earl Granville,
who is now endeavoring to form Cabinet.
The PaN-AaU Gazette says Disraeli told
the Queen yesterday he was not prepared to
form Cabinet. The Gazette is confident,
under the circumstances, that Gladstone will
be recalled to the head of The Government
The Globe declares the latter assumption
unwarranted.
Earl Derby cannot reach London till to.
morrow, and meanwhile nothing can te de-
termincd, and all talk on the subject of the
future Ministry must be purely speculative
LONDON, March 14-1 p. M-Disraeli is
still reluctant to assume the responsibility
OF organizing new Government. 1t was
positively asserted at the Carlton Club this
afternoon that one thing is settled namely,
if the Conservatives take office, Disraeli will
not be the Premier, and that he will inform
the Queen tomorrow that it is impossible
for him to form new Ministry, and suggest
that the task be entrusted to Earl Derby,
who has the support Of the old Wings. In
the Reform Club the belief is that the
chances for return of the Conservatives to
power are sinking, and that Gladstone will
in few days withdraw bis resignation. All
parties are opposed to the dissolution of
| Parliament. -
at the Cabinet councils on Wednesday and
Thursday Gladstone repeatedly expressed his
wish to retire to private life; and bis col
leagues used every argument in their power
to dissuade him from bis purpose.
