NRw YoRK, June &c. The Suns cable
gram from London says
Nearly 20 of the rvative members of
the house of commons met this afternoon at
the Carleton club to discuss the plans and
prospects of the remainder of the session un.
der the new government. 1t was mast en-
thusiastic assemblage, and there was very lit
tie to sustain the theory that the conservatives
had accepted office with fear and trembling,
expecting to form gap in the government
until November and then to be defeated at
the polls. Speeches were energeti, and aggress'
i've, the speakers taking the ground that the
copservativesihad been opportunely thrust into
power under circumstances which gave them
good fighting chance to make their tenure
permanent and the feeling among the mem
bers seemed to be that the party had come to
stag. The greatest enthusiasm of the occs-
sion was evoked by the appearance of Lord
Salisbury. The new premier was in high
feather and he looked complacent and conf
dent as he bowed his acknowledgements of the
applause which seemed to be endless. He
made only short speech, but 1t was sturdy
principles AS far as he outlined his policy it
was to proceed steadily forward in the path
sanctioned by former conservative govern
ments, to disregard the erratc course of the
party lately in p ,wer, and to let the opposl-
tion waste It's forces on unanswered attacks.
Gen. Stafford Northcote was received with
degree of enthusiasm second to that which
had greeted the chief of the party. He SAID
he had only come to say q few words of fare
well to his coll ssgues in the house OF commons
and to encourage them to enter joyfully upon
the coming struggle. His voice trembled as he
spoke partly with emotion and partly from
weakness caused by his late illness and his
spec ch was abruptly broken off. A funny in
cident occurred as the conservatives were
leaving the Carleton club. They came down
the steps of the Pail Mall entrance in bunch
busily engaged in conversation and taking
no notice of the people on the side
walk. Gladstone happened to be passing:
The formost group of tories almost tumbled
over him. Then he was swept along in the
outponring throng of political enemies and
the situation was comically mixed for few
moments. The ex-premier was the first to re-
cover his self possession. He skillfully extri-
Gated himself from the crowd and lifting his
hat stood at one side to let them pass by.
Instantly the example caused every one of the
conservatives to raise his hat in return, and
his novel spectacle was presented of pro
cession OF tories passing in review before the
liberal leader 10 front of the national head
quarters of toryism.
THE RUSSIAN PRESS
continues unfriendly to Lord Salisbury. The
fact that the hostile comments are unchecked
by the Russian government Causes some con-
cern in British official circles, The St. Pet
ersburg Novesti has adopted the plan of print
ing in paragraphs the most yenomous things
that Lord Salisbury and Lord Randolph
Churchill have ever aaid against Russia.
These utterances are separated from their
context, and under each il printed the name
and present title of its author The effect is
to make it appear that the present premier
and secretary for India are the bitterest of
Russophobists, and the object, of course, is to
further inhame the Russian war party, of
which the Novesti is the mouthpiece.
THE MISSION TO EGYPT.
It turns out that Sir Henry Drummond
Wolff, who is going to Egypt on special
mission, Is instructed to report on. the state OF
the administration and condition of Egypt.
Lord Randolph Churchill, who is known to
be in favor Of the removal Of Trevik Pasha,
melted the mission. 1t is reported that Lord
Salisbury. at an interview with M: Waddipg-
ton, explained that the mission is intended to
facilitate the settlement of the Egyptian ques-
tion and that he would be unable without a
report independent of the papers left by the
late government to state the course OF the con-
servative policy.
A RUSSIAN OPINION.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 26.-The Journal
De st. Petersburg in an editorial, expresses re-
spect and sympathy for Gladstone. Refer
ring to the new British cabinet the journal
says: "The conservatives have the good
sense to consider the necessities of the situa
tion. The Marquis of Salisbury succeeds tc
the position already taken by Gladstone. The
path to follow is already marked by the
natural government of history. The
sense of responsibility and knowledge o.
Europe possessed by the marquis OF Salisbury
will mould his acts according to the prevail
ing needsd { the time, and the respective need
of the several peoples, and he will determine
the relations between them on these grounds

commenting on the proposal to abolish tn
Irish viceroyslty and Dublin castle, protest
against the denuncation OF the castle as
nest OF alien sineourists, but admits that tn
abolition of the viceroyalty and the questlo
of local self-government are fair subjects fo
