at once or await an adverse vote of Par
! Lament until the exact number of liberia
majority is ascertained. After the result
of the polling Of Friday became known
a special messenger was sent to Bader
Baden with dispatches for the Queen
| We have reason to believe that Gladstone
| disapproVes of the arrangement suggested
In various quarters that he accept subor-
dinate office in the new administration.
He still adheres to his intention of not
Tesuming Office, but will cordially sup
port the recognized liberal leaders, Earl
Granville and Marquis OF harrington.
There has been no consultation between

port the caDdidature Of Gray, lord mayor
of Dublin, who, in a speech, stated that
parcels Of dynamite we're found under
the platform on which he then stood to
blow up those wishing to vindicats the
rights of poor men.
London, 5.-The opposition has a
clear wOT king majority ia Parliament.
Even hOme-ruleIs are let out of the
count.
The Queen is expected between the
18th and 22d Of the present month.
The colonial secretary left on Satu--
day for Baden Baden, 10 act as minister
in attendance on the Queen. 1t is in
ferred that he will communicate the
cabinets decision to resign Immediately.
The IEaleS, referring to the situation
in Aighaniston, says: In India, as here,
something like an interregnum must pre-
vail until the impending changes have
been made. Lord LyttOn, viceroy, has
been so identified with the present gov
eminent, and has so fully committed
himself to Its plsns, that his prolonged
tenure of Office Is as little possible as it is
desirable. The only doubt IS whether he
will wait to be recalled or will anticipate
by his own act the result he can scarcely
hope to avoid. The name of Lord
Northbrook, formerly governor general
of India, suggests itself as Lord Lytton's
successor, but Lord Northbrolk does not
wish to return to his old post. There Is
less room for doubt regarding the instruc-
tons the new viceroy will take with
him. Place will be made with the least
possible disturbance of our normal rela-
tons with Afghanistan. If our lines
must ut any point De advanced, II, as IS
likely, there must be some annexation of
territory, what is done will be done with
the sole view to the safety Of India. We
shall hear no more of the projected ces-
sion of Herat TO Persia and of the en-
targling alliance which must have at
tended it.

Bombay, AIN consequence of the
result of British elections the departure
of the viceroy from Calcutta for Simla

the elections in Great Britain, especially
