LONDON, July 3O.-The lord mayor pre-
sided at the banquet to the ministers last
night. There was a notable company
present, including Lord Wolseley. Sir Peter
Lumsden and many ladies. After the
usual loyal tOastS, Lord Salisbury replied
to the toast to the ministers. He admitted
that Mr.. GladStone's assurances had been
honestly adhered to. He defended the
government against the charges of adopt
ing Liberal policy, and cOntended that
the extended franchise in Ireland necesSi-
tated change of policy in the direction
adopted. In regard to foreign affairs he
said it was plainly necessary for the
honor of the nation that the govern
ment should continue the policy of the
late government, even though 1t was
opposed to the Conservative policy, but
they regretted their inability to continue
in the line of the policy left by Lord
BeacOnSfeld. The government would,
however, devote themselves to domestic
affairs and the promotion of such a condi-
ton of things in countries in Africa and
the East dependent upon England as would
restore cordial feeling among European
powers, which was essential for the pros
perity of the world. Sir Michael Hicks

dOlph Churchill, secretary of state for
India, and the Earl of Idderleigh, Sir Stat
ford NOrthcOte, first lord of the treasury,
remained away from the banquet to the
ministers last night. Their absence has
caused much comment and has added to the
sensation produced by Lord RandOlph'S de-
clSlOn at the last moment to not allow the
great Tory meeting yesterday in Liverpool,
where he was to be the principal speaker.
The Standard expresses great diSSatis-
faction with Lord SaliSbury's speech at the
lord mayors banquet last evening, and
with his Irish policy. The Times, COM
menting on the Liverpool incident and on
the explanation that the India secretary re-
fused to go to Liverpool because the two
Tory members of parliament from that city
had refused to support his Irish policy in
the house of commons, says the whole affair
is an instructive Illustration of the lack of
unity in the Conservative party. Lord
Randolph has agreed to go to Liverpool
month from now and address meeting of
Conservatives there on his own account.
The excitement i'll Liverpool over last
nights occurrence is very great to-day.
Delegates from all sections of the COnserv-
ative party in England have been aroused
by the incident and have united in empow-
ering Mr.. Arthur B. ForwOOd, one of the
Tory members from Liverpool, to proceed to
London in the name of the party, interview
Lord Randolph and other Conservative
leaders and arrange to secure an address in
Liverpool from the India secretary upon.
