LONDON, April 4.-The Observer of this morn
ing says: We understand there will be no de-
cision whether the government shall resign at
once or await an adverse vote IF the liberal
majority is ascertained. After the result of
the polling on Friday became known special
messenger was sent to Baden Baden with dis
patches for the queen We have reason to be-
lieye that Gladstone disapprOves of the ar
rangement suggested in various quarters that
he accept subordinate Office in the new admin
istration. He still adheres to his in
tenion Of not resuming Office but will
cordially support the recognized liberal leaders,
Earl Granville and the Marquis of Harrington.
The reports current about the composition of
the new ministry are obviously premature, as
there has been no consultation between the
liberal leaders on the subject: We mention
the following reasons as possessing certain
amount of probability, although relying as yet
on no basis of ascertained fact. 1t is said the
Earl of Derby will be offered. the foreign Office.
1t he refuses as is probable, the Office will be
assigned to Lord Kimberley. W. E. Forster
will be minister of colonies; Gospen, chancellor
of the exchequer; Lord Cardwell, secretary of
war; Mr.. Childers, first lord of the admiralty;
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Sir Charles
Dixie and Mr.. Fawcett as representatives of
the advanced section of the party will occupy
seats in the new cabinet. Lord Roseberry it
may also be taken for granted will hold an
important position in the liberal administra-
tion.
