Rumored Changes in the British Cabinet.
LONDON, March 1O.-The Daily News says it
was rumored yesterday that Gladstone would
resign the CHARACTERISTIC of the exchequer to
Hugh G. Childers, the Marquis of Harrington
war, and Lord Derby succeeding Marquis
Harrington as secretary of state for India and
president of the council of India.
No such arrangements have been arrived at,
and the reported modification of the ministry
is, to say the least, premature.
Proceedings in the Commons.
In the Commons this afternoon Gladstone
stated that the government had prolonged the
armistice with the Beers. The announcement
was received with chess by the Radicals.
Lord Harrington stated that the order for
the withdrawal of the British troops from
Candahar had already been given.
Sir Charles Dixie said there had been no
correspondence recently with the United States
respecting inter-oceanic communication. The
subject he said was receiving the governments
careful attention although it would at present
be premature to take any action in the matter.
