Liberals Refuse to Make Pledges and
the Conservatives Decline to
Hold Office,
Knowing That Without Reform Aid the
New Ministry Will Result
in Failure.
Gladstone, However Much D1sln-
cined, May Yet Have to Form
Cabinet.
Everything Now in Abeyance fenoins
the Outcome of Present
Negotiations
a Deadlock.

LONDON. June 19.-Mr. Gladstone still
withholds his assurance that the Liberals
will help the Salisbury government, and the
MARQUIS of Salisbury persists in his refusal
to take office in the absence OF such aSSur-
ance. The result is a complete deadlock.
The News says it is enabled to state that
the formation of the ministry is in abey-
ance pending the negotiations of Lord Sails
bury with the Liberals. The Standard
saws that the Liberals refuse
sufficient assurance that they
will not oppose business especially
the budget Negotiations will continue and
unless pledges be given Lord Salisbury Will
refuse office. 1t is reported that Sir Henry
Drummynd Wolff will succeed Mr.. Sack
vile West as minister at Washington.
Lord Lyton viii probably be appointed am
baSsador to Germany.
JUST LITTLE PLEDGES.
It is stated that at meeting of Liberal
leaders it was decided to give the Conserva-
tives an assurance of partial support.
This is not enough to satisfy the
Marquis of Salisbury, and it is
not likely that he will announce cabinet
to-day. in which case parliament will adj
iourn until Monday. The Conservatives
believe that the difficulty of reforming the
Liberal cabinet will compel the Liberals to
give pledges.
PERHAPS
the expected developments to-day in the
march of events render it quite possible III
the opinion of many Liberals that Mr.
Gladstone. however much he may be dlSln-
cIined. will be compelled to return to office.
1t is reported that the Marquis of Salisbury
demanded from the retiring ministry
more comprehensive promise OF
support than they were prepared to give.
1t is believed by many Liberals also that
the visit Of Mr. Gladstone to the queen at
Windsor had connection with this subject
OF return to office. Conservative on the
other hand, however, have not doubt but
that the Marquis of Salisbury will accept
Office.
APPOINTMENTS.
Tn accordance with the decision of the
meeting of the Marquis of Salisbury and
other Conservatives, Sir Stafford Northcote
has been appointed first lord of the treas
ury, with peerage, the premiership
remaining in the hands OF Lord
Salisbury. For the premier not to
assume the duties OF first lord
of the treasury is unusual, but has prece-
dent. Mr. Arthur Balfour will be presl-
QenG OF The local SOF6IHlACH1 UOt1los hioil
out seat in the cabinet. Hon. Edward
Stanhope viii be president of the council.
Hr. Henry Chaplin, NJ. P, will probably
be appointed chancellor of the duchy OF
Lancaster.
HE WILL BE AN EARL.
The queen has sent Sir Stafford North
cote an autograph letter, thanking him for
his high service and offering him an earl
dom. He will assume the title Of Earl OF
of Eddesleigh and Viscount st. Cyres. 1t

ence of Lord Randolph Churchill in the
cabinet.
