MR.. GLADSTONE'S OPINIONS

THE BRITISH LIBERAL LEADER SITS ON AN
oaAcULAR TRIPOD AND IS REvERENTLY con-
SUITED BY PARIsIAN JOURNALS.
[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD
LONDON, Oct %, 1879.
The Gaulois publishes what purports to be an
interview with Mr.. Gladstone, who has been
staying in Paris Mr. Gladstone, replying to
the question whether in the event OF a liberal
victory at the next elections he would place
himself at the head of affairs, said that Lords
Harrington and Granville would suffice
for the task, and that he himself
would only resume office if forced to
do so by his fellow-countrymen. Re
garding this interview the Ga,tiois further
says :--''Mr. Gladstone deprecated contention
with Russia about Afghanistan, and said he be-
lieved there would not be any, that India had
absolutely nothing to fear from Russia, which
has as much as she can do to hold her conquests
in Turkestan. The Austro-German alliance, he
said, was doubtless intended as a check to
Russia, but the importance of such alliance
should not be exaggerated, as Prince Bismarck
would abandon it as readily as he had abandoned
Parliamentary parties which had served his
purpose. Mr.. Gladstone said he thought France

Turkey to resume her privileges in Egypt by
the deposition of the Khedivc; that it was also
mistake to exclude the other European
Powers from sharing in Egyptian control.
England's roadto India, he said, must be re-
tanned by keeping up her maritime supremacy.
Mr. Gladstone said his recent visit to Italy
satisfied him that tho Italia i,scdento ques-
ton would not prove source of danger
to the peace OF Italy. He said he believed that
the next election in England would return u
liberal majority He pointed out Lord Derby's
course as an important sign of the times. He
expressed fattering opinion of the present
position and future prospects of France. He
election of NJ Humbert were Of any Importance.
The Ielegraphe (evening paper Of Paris also
reports an interview with the English cx-
Premier, in which MIR. Gladstone is repre-
sented rs saying that the present French con-
stitution was well framed, that the American
constitution was likewise excellent for that
country, and that since the civil war the Amcri-
can government had given repeated proofs of
wisdom. English thinkers, he said, have
watched with sympathetic curiosity the spec
tacle of great nation under purely elective
government
There is to be q great liberal demonstration

lowing members Of Parliament will be among

sary strngency of the law requiring three months
extra pay in cases Of discharge in foreign ports
also the necessity of prohibiting consuls from

sion Of foreign vessels to American register
Captain Candage, recapitulating the morning 8
