In court circles there is no longer
any conccalmcnt OF rejoicing over the
fall of the liberal government. Mr.
Gladstone, court officials now admit,
was never in harmony with the queen
on any subject, aud her majesty and
the premier disagreed IN all their dis

entente with France. a policy en-
bracing these principles has, all along,

gagements to make campaign
speeches during the ensuing election,

Gladstone 10 one for Midlothian. In

speeches elsewhere, the Premier
states that he has given verbal
promise to his political friends in
