A CONSERVATIVE CAVE.
Trio serious work began on Monday with 'he
Morous of Salisbury's arrival in London he

Tories, not including Lord Randolph Cnuion'i'
Lord Randolph Churchill thought it necessary '0
remnd the Marquis of Salisbury Of his existence
To convince him that it was impossible to form
Ministry without his cooperation he organized al
oman revolt in the House of Commons and resisted
+hs motion TO proceed with the Seats BILL made by
AR Gladstone at the Marquis of Salisbury
and supported by Sir Stafford Northcote Loro
Randolph Churchill carried with him sundry lead
ING Tories. including Sir Michael Hcks-Beach.
This amounted to public notice OF an offensive
and defensive alliance between Lord handoph
Churchill and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. 1t was
an omen declaration Of war against Sir stafford
Nortbcote and against any Cabinet arrangement in
yolving his continued leadership in the House Oh
Commons.
TRIUMPH OF THE YOUNG TORIES
Lord Randolph Churchill and Sir Michael HICKS
Reach combined being obviously able to make the
Ministry thew opposed impossible. the Marquis OF
Salisbury sent for Lord Randolph Churchill the
next morning. offered him the secretaryship lot
India, and agreed to remove Sir Stafford Northcote
to the House of Lords with the Earldom which MT
Gladstone had Just refused. He also agreed TO ex-
c,,de certain members of the Bcaconsfeld CABINET
from the new Ministry, replacing them by younger
men Lord Randolph Churchill on his side as
sented to the admission of the Right Hon. W. H.
Smith and Sir Richard Assheton Cross
From that moment the composition of the Cabinet
became easy. The victory remained substantially
with Lord Randolph Churchill The revolution
long fermeptlng in the Tory party had advanced
another important stage.
CHANGE OF SCENE.
{ The Queens arrival at Windsor having made the
transaction of business rapid everybody expected
TO see the Tories in Office before the end OF the
week The Marquis of Salisbury submitted TO the
ouee, on Wednesday complete list of the Cabinet
The oueen approved. but Thursday saw change
of scene. The Marquis of Salisbury the day before
had proposed to the Queen to ask Mr.. Gladstone for
assurances of support OF liberation In the CON-
mons. insisting that he would be uDable otherwise
+o conduct the necessary business in the face OF
hostile majority.
The Queen summoned Mr.. Gladstone on Thursday
and transmitted the Marquis of salisburys two
requests, first, either to agree to the Tory Budget
or to consent to raising temporary loan to meet
the existing deficit; and. secondly, to allow 'he
Conservative Government to monopolize the whoie
time of the House In order to prevent the starting
of inconvenient questions. Mr.. Gladstone having
previously consulted his colleagues declined 10 give
these pledges. He professed himself as conhdent
that the Liberals would abstain from factious OPP
position but thought that specific engagements
would he impolitic.
THE DEADLOCK.
The Marouis of Salisbury declared this answer to
be unsatisfactory. When the Houses OF Parlla-
ment met yesterday he announced that he was
Obliged to postpone the expected statement ana
moved an adjournment until Tuesday. Many
Tories say that the Marquis OF Salisbury is resolved
not TO proceed further without tho assurances
which MIR. Gladstone refuses to give. The Liberals
lnl;a af 4i.ot Mp .tod.
stone neither will eau give them. MIR.
Labouchere was warmly cheered by Radicals
and Liberals alike when he protested last niaht
against concessions. Mr.. Chamberlain ana DIT
William Harcourt. who seldom agree on anything
agree on this subject Both tell the Tories that
they shall get Just as.much fair play as the Tories
showed the late Government and no more Inc
= situation seems, therefore, to be deadlock; but
active efforts are making to-day to arrange matters
The Marquis os Salisbury's refusal last night to
proceed with the third reading of the Seats Dill Is
interpreted as notification to the Liberals that he
does not intend to part with the power Of dissou
ton till some Ministry has been formed. The Lib
erals are surprised and furious at discoverngthat
the Tories are not quite so helpless as they sup
posed They accuse the Marquis of Salisbury of bad
faith in not carving out the compact with Mr.
Gladstone. A dissolution is not likely in any case
before November. The Marquis of Salisbury denies
that he intends it. but the feeling both sides is
becoming bitter.
COERCION AT AN END
ii the Tories come in, the list of tie Cabinet al
ready published may be taken to be nearly accurate
