The Cabinet in Session and a Crisis Pre-
dicted-The French Press on the Vote.
LONDON, Feb. est is reported thai
before the division Of the eensure motor
the Ministry decided to retire from ofict
if their majority should be under fifteen.
LONDON, Feb. 2S, P. Df.-The Cabinet
council met at > o'clock this Afternoon
and is still in session. Earl Spencer
Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland, is present al
the council, having arrived from Dublin
this morning. The outcome Of the meet.
ing is very uncertain. but a crisis is pre-.
dicted.
The House Of Commons was crowded
in every part early in the evening. but
the audiaEice thinned somewhat when it
appeared that the expected Irish scene
would not occur. The House filed again.
however, while Messrs. LabOuchere and
Forster were speaking. When Lord Hart.
lngtOn rose to speak the result Of the
division in the House of Lords was known
and the galleries of the House of Com
mons were crowded with peers and
strangers who were kept on the tip-tOe OF
expectation TIL the close of the debate.
The Wings were then perfectly unable
to forecast the result, and everybody was
anxious. The Parnellites gave TO indi-
cation of their decision. The scene was
one unparalleled in many years. When
the motion was put the Parnellites
dramatically batiled curiosity by remain
ing seated until the House was cleared
and then rose in a body and went with
the Conservatives. Still the result was
not known until the clerk advanced to
the table and read the figures. The re-
suit was received with VOciferOus cheers
and counter cheers.
At Cabinet meeting to-day it was de-
cided that inasmuch as the Parnellites
In the House of Commons voted bodily
with the opposition, the majority of IA
obtained by the government is not too
small to enable the government to con-
tinue in power. The discussion as TO the
redistribution of seats will prevent an
appeal to the country before November.
The Times, commenting or the vote in
the House OF Commons on the motion of
censure, says: "The government es-
capped technically, but morally it was de-
feated, discredited and condemned" 1t is
difficult, the Times says, to believe that
the MAJORITY of II will endure the strain
of the heavy vote for the cost of the eXpe-
ditiOn.
GERMANY's POLITICAL DREAM.
PARIS, Feb. 28.-The Journal deS DebatS,
in an article on last nights proceedings
III IHe DTIIlSn 1dftidmenT, say 5 tldC the
fall of Gladstone has been Germany's pO-
litical dream and Bismarck's aim. The
trouble with England is, the DebatS
thinks, that her people are deaf to friendly
foreign counsels, against which their
British pride rebels, on the assumption
that they are attempts to interfere with
British policy. 1t is for this reason, de-
clares the writer, that Germauy's furious
attacks defeat their own purpose.
The De6dts is authority for the rumOr
that if Mr.. Gladstone concludes to retire
he will nominate as his successor the
present Liberal Secretary Of State for
War, the Marquis of Harrington.
Reports that crisis prevails in theCab-
met are semi-otiicIally denied. The pO-
litical clubs TEEN with unreliable rumOrs
concerning a reconstruction Of the Min
istry. 1t is certain that there is open dis
cord between the Marquis Of Harrington,
Secretary of State for War. and Sir Will
liam Vernon H4rooUct, H3n4 Secretary.
The retirement Of the latter is probable.
The Conservatives now rely on the defeat
of the government on the Egyptian finan-
cial convention, ifit is found that it es-
tablishes multiple control.
The Cabinet council was in session W
I'll $3.50 O'Clock this evening, but the result
Of the meeting has not been ascertained.
