The onslaught OF Mr.. Dtsraeu upon Lord Sails
bury has caused q lee ling akin to alarm in the
conservative clubs The fear hA6 been spreading
Tor some time past that the Cabinet has not been
thoroughly united, and there was strong reac'
tionary minority, headed by Lord Salisbury, whom
the Premier has found difficult to keep under con-
troll To-day's speech of Mr. Disraen, and one or
two incidents in the changeful history or some OF
the government proposals during the past few
weeks, are viewed as combinations OF that fear.
At any rate, it Is perfectly evident that the Old
wound inflicted BY the retirement OF Lords
Salisbury ana Carnarvon ana are genera nn. rese ne

criticisms by his political chief. There Is a Subdued
feeling OF disappointment In the conservative
ranks that the session has not been so fruitful as
1t might have been, and the want OF accord which
Is now exhibited between the Premier ana the
most powerful member OF his Capinet ADDS to the
anxieties OF the moment 1t would almost seem
that this years session wil like that OF last year,
be followed by changes IN the Ministry. IL was
