Several Points on Which the COnservat
Differ Seriously.


LONDON, June l5.-The Times continues to
condemn the late government 1t publishes
copy of the Liberal whip issued for to-day's
formal meeting of the House of Commons, and
says it is precisely similar to that sent out for
the crucial division of last Monday night. 1t
says that the whips cry wolf too often, and by
using urgent terms for trivial occasions weaken
the effect of the summons when real crisis is at
hand.
The Daily Telegraph says that the Marquis OF
Salisbury will have the sympathy of the country,
and warns the Radical leaders, Mr. Chamber
lain and Sir Charles Dixie not to make the mis-
but to see fair play
The Times, in a leading editorial article,
says it is clearly to be understood that
the Salisbury Cabinet must be transition
Ministry. There is no room for new depart
| ure or policy 1t is only possible to engage in
legislation looking to renewal of the coercion
laws for Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone was in his usual place in the
House Of Commons this afternoon, and he was
greeted with cheers when he rose to make an
announcement This was that the Marquis of
Salisbury he'd consented to form government.
Mr.. Labouchere Radical, asked Mr.. Gladstone
if there was any truth in the published report
that the Marquis of Salisbury had only consent
ed to form a Conservative Ministry when assured
of assistance by the present Liberal government.
Mr. Gladstone, in reply, assured Mr. Labou-
chere that he (Mr. GladstoIel was ignorant of
the existence of any arrangement by which the
present government was bound by any promis
to assist the Conservative government
The House then completed the remaining
stages of the bill granting an annuity to Prin-
cess Beatrice on the occasion of her marriage,
and accepted the amendment by the Lords to the
redistribution of seats bill.
On motion of Mr. Gladstone the House ad-
journed until Friday.
The lobbies of the House of Commons pre-
sented a very animated appearance this after
noon. Thera was a renewal of the unfounded
rumor that the Conservative leaders are expert
encing considerable difficulty in forming Cabi-
Churchill and the Marquis of Salisbury differ in
regard to the necessity for. the re-enactment OF
coercive measures for Ireland.
The leaders of the Conservative party, includ
ing the Ministers of the last Disraeli Cabinet,
Colonel Frederick Stanley and Sir Hardinge
Clifford, excepted, met at noon to-day in
the residence of the Marquis Of Salisbury.
1t was o'clock before the company
separated. The names of the new Cabinet
will be submitted to the Queen upon the arrival
of her Majesty at Windsor Castle. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill was invited to attend. 1t is re-
ported that Baron Worms has been chosen for
the position of Under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs.
The Marquis of Salisbury explained to the
meeting the result of his interview with the
Queen, and hoped he would have the assistance
of his colleagues to form Cabinet. The almost
unanimous opinion expressed was in favor of
the acceptance of Office by the Conservatives.
The House Of Lords this afternoon adjourned
until Friday, when the Marquis of Salisbury
will announce his programme and probably his
Ministry.
Mr.. ODonne,l. Member of Parliament for
| hungarian, in communication to the Dublin
| Freemans Journal, says that the Marquis of
| Salisbury can secure majority in Parliament
| for his coercion" measures for Ireland. Mr..
O'Donnell states that coalition is forming, and
| says that it bohooves Irish opinion to make
| itself heard.
| The Daily News says that the Marquis of
| Salisbury adopted the only course open to him.
| and the News makes fresh appeal to Mr.. Glad
stone to lead the Liberals in the struggle for the
general election. Without such leader it
plainly foresees defeat for the Liberal party.
Before the adjournment of the House of
Commons, this afternoon, Mr.. Gladstone moved
the consideration of the amendments of the
House Of Lords to the redistribution of seats
| BILL
| The Commons rejected two of the amend
ments of the House of Lords to the redistribu-
tion bill
| Sir Henry Drummond Wolff Conservative,
| moved adjournment of the House, and Mr..
| Gorst Conservative, supported the motion.
| Sir Charles Dixie, Radical. explained that it
was the desire of the Marquis of Salisbury that
| the amendment should be considered.
| Sir Stafford Northcote, Conservate. confirmed
| the statement of Sir Charles. but Lord Randolph
| Churchill, Conservative, supported the motion of
/ Sir Henry Drummond Wolff His motion was
| then rejected by vote of 333 nays to 30 yeas.
| Sir Michael Hicks Beach and Mr.. Schiater, both
| Conservatives, voted with the minority.
The Ulster Conservatives are signing memo
| rial in favor of the adoption of Earl Spencer's
minimum of coercion bill The Marquis of
| Salisbury may propose the renewal of the act, on
| the understanding that it will be enforced only
| in emergency.
1t is reported that Lord Randolph Churchill
| insists upon a thorough reorganizat''1 of the
| Conservative party, sending Sir Sta North
| cote to the House of Lords, and making Sir
! Michael Hicks Beach leader in the House of
| Commons.
Lord Salisbury had another conference with
| Sir Stafford late tonight. 1t is believed that
| his efforts to form Ministry have not been sue
cessful Lord Randolph Churchil's action and
views on the coercion question appear likely to
| upset the Conservatives
| The Standard, in an editorial, referring to the
| difference of opinion the seats bill among the
| Conservatives in the House of Commons, says:
| This incident, at the present moment, ID an
| unfortunate exhibition OF indiscirlne. We
have no wish either to magnify or lessen its sig
| nifcance. but it may prove useful mis-
| hap il IL causes the Conservative leaders
to adopt a tighter hold on the more factious
