The Conservatives viii Aocept-A
French OpinIOn-The Afghan Settle
mept Unaffected.
LONDON, June 10.-The chief difficulty
encountered by the conservatives in their
discussions regarding the formation Of a
Ministry, says the Pail NAL Gazette, is
the problem what to do with Lord Ran
dolph Churchill. lie claims to have done
much in the work of destroying the Lib
eral government and demands his share
of the spoils. 1t is apparent that the
older Tory leaders regard him as trouble
some and somewhat dangerous to
have around in national circles.
The Pail NdU Gazette intimates that
a polite effort will be made to get rid of
him. II the Conservatives form govern
ment he will, 1t Is said. be requested TO 20
to Ireland, If not to succeed Earl Spen-
Ger as Lord Lieutenant, then as Chief Sec
Tetary. The sort of talk which is already
being applied to the young leader Is some
thing like this: "YOu certainly prefer
duty to mere ambition, there
fore you should accept this diff
cult and dangerous post Dare
you accept itY If you accept then,
whether you succeed or fail, you will Mt
least prove that you possess great quail
ties of intrepidity and selCsacrifce,
which are among the greatest gifts pos
sessej by popular statesmen" Lord
Randolph is very susceptible 10 flattery,
and he might prove great Irish Cover
| nor.
SALISBURY WON'T REFUSE.
A private deputatlon Of the COnserva-
tive members of Parliament waited upon
/ Sir Stafford NOrthco.e and the Marquis Of
/ Salisbury to-day, and urged them 10 re-
| fuse office. The Marquis of Salisbury
stated that If the Queen called them they
must form the government. He would
support Sir Stafford NOrthcote as Premier,
and he expected that the Queens com
mands would place Sir Stafford in that pO-
sitiOn.
The quietness that has prevailed in the
/ Stock Exchange throughout the present
/ crisis is tTaceable TO the public belief that
the Conservatives must maintain for
length of time continuity of the foreign
/ policy. A similar impression Is prevalent
| on the European bOurses.
/ GLADSTONE WONT RESUME OFFICE.
II is rumored that the Queen has sent a
/ telegram 10 MT. Gladstone requesting him
TO reconsider his decision 10 resign.
There is no reason, however, 20 believe
conditions, consent TO resume office.
Mr.. Gladstone still remains In London.
II is believed the Queen will return from
BalmOral on Saturday.
The Standard announces "by authority"
that the Conservatives If intrusted by the
Queen with the formation Of a new Minis
try, will undertake the duty.
A FRENCH OPINION.
PARIS, June 1O.--The Repubique Fran
cdtse, speaking Of the resignation Of the
Gladstone Cabinet, says: Europe must
distrust a Ministry wherein the wisdom
Of Sir Stafford NOrthcOte can be annulled
by the passionate imDrudence Of the Earl
Of Salisbury and the petulance Of LORD
Randolph Churchill, when foreign qUes-
tiOns demand 80 much cOOlness and tact"
THE sETTLEAIENT NOT EFFECTED.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 10.-Premier
Gladstone's retirement from the manage
ment Of British affairs, 1t Is generally
believed here, will not affect the settle
ment Of the Afghan frontier question.
THE QUEEN COMING TO WINDSOR.
An official order was issued tonight
closing Windsor Castle TO the public after
tomorrow. This Is a sure sI2n OF the adj
vent Of the Queen, as Windsor Castle is
only thirty minutes by rail from London.
/ The return Of Her Majesty will greatly
expedite public business at the present
[ crlsls.
HARRINGTON SUMMONED TO BALMORAL.
The Queen has summoned the Marquis
Of Harrington, Secretary Of State for War
70 BalmOral Castle. It is not known
whether he is summoned as a representa-
tive Of Mr.. Gladstone or Is 70 be invited
20 form a new Cabinet. Lord Harting-
ton seems to be IN no hurry
TO comply with the summons,
and has not yet started for Scotland.

LONDON, June 1.-THE Marquis Of
Harrington had arranged 70 go 20 Bal
moral last evening in place Of Mr.. Glad

ADVISING A RECONSIDERATION.
The Times, commenting on the fact that
since the division 30 or 40 Liberal alb
sentees have declared they would have
voted with the government, says that the
Ministers ought TO reconsider their de-
cisi0n, and asks II they can Justify 10 the
Queen and country a course which will
throw public affairs into confusion and
involve the state Ia grave difficulties at
home and abroad.

the hope that the Cabinet VIII persist in

T0rv rule Will insure Liberal triumph in
the general eIocti0us and will be better
