LONDON, June II. - The Queen has
made an appointment to confer with MIR.
Gladstone on the present crisis in British
political affairs on next Saturday az Bal
moral Castle. The Queen has arranged
tu return to Windsor Castle on june 70.
The Standard says II is understood that
the Queen has requested Mr.. Gladstone
10 transmit to her his views in full on the
political crisis in order that arrange
ments may be made TO avert an immedi-
Ate change IN the British Ministry. 1t is
not expected that the Queen will accept
the resignat1ons of the Ministers Orthat
any final decision win be reached con
cerning the question OF changing the gov
oTnmeut until her return 50 Windsor
Castle.
GLADSTONE COURrED DEFEAT.
The Conservatives can DO nothing, the
paper argues, until the Queens wishes be
made known, and in the meantime il Is
doubtful if the Liberal Cabinet can hold
together so great are the differences at
present existing between its members
There exists a suspicion, which daily
deepens, that the Gladstone Ministry
courted their recent defeat for the pur-
pose of concealing behind it's excitement
their own dissensiOns. The statements
made since the defeat by some OF the
Liberal members who absented them
selves from the vote on the fatal decision,
show that the government might have
saved themselves ON that vote II they had
cared seriously 70 do 80.
MINISTERIAL RUMoRs.
Nearly every hour brings fresh rumor
concerning the Ministerial question. The
latest OF these runners is that the Marquis
OF Harrington, Secretary OF State tor War,
will be asked by the Queen 10 reconstruct
the Liberal Ministry, Mr.. Gladstone 10
retire. Nothing reliable, however, has
transpired to-day up TO this hour.
GERMAN VIEWS ON THE RESIGNATION.
BERLIN, June lt.~-German diplomats
ailege that one OF the greatest causes Of
| the resignation Of the Gladstone govern
meRt was the failure of the secret mission
of the Earl OF Roseberry, British Lord
Privy Seal, to Berlin. These diplomats
now assert that the object Of that mission
was TO secure IA reconciliation between
Gladstone and Bismarck. Another cause
is said 20 have been the failure OF James
! Cham berlain's recent secret mission
to Paris, which, at the time it was
made, was announced to be simply for
! pleasure and recreact0n. Ofictats M the
/ kaiser's foreign service declared, how
| ever, that Mr. Chamberlain was sent bv
Mr.. Gladstone for the purpose OF obtain
ing from NJ. FFeycinet an nglO-French
alliance on Egyptian affairs. This was To
be based ON unequal shares in the control
Of the country, English control to be
paramount. IL is declared that the
failure of both these missions greatly dis
couraged Mr.. Gladstone, who, losing heart
at the discovery of what he believed was
deep hostility against England en-
/ tertained by her immediate continental
neighbOrs, suddenly awOke 10 a keen
sense OF the failure Of his foreign policy,
and concluded to abandon political life.
SEXTON ON THE CRISIS.
Thomas Sexton, Home Rule member Of
Parliament for Sligo, was interviewed to
day on the subject of the Ministerial
crisis. He was Of opinion that the Con-
servatives would accept power to utilize
the opportunity TO show the country that
theypOssess more OF the governing faculty
than the Liberals do, in view Of
the approach Of the general elections.
present chance Of faVorahly impressing
the electors, the youngest Tories will find
their hair gray before they get into
power. He regarded Lord Randolph
| Churchill as the man for Irish Secretary.
Lord Randolph, he said, had often shown
a friendly feeling toward Ireland and
| a capacity to take tOiernbly fair view Of
Irish public questions. His s1ccess or
failure would depend upon whether, Ike
previous Irish Secretaries, he would be
content TO be simply the mOutbpiece OF
| Irish officials.
GLADSroHE's EVENTUAL RETURN.
The latest reports from authentic
sources indicate the eventual return Of
MIR. Gladstone to Office az the head of a
reconstructed anti-coereiOn Cabinet. Mr..
eGladstone still wishes 10 abandon pOtiti-
! cal life, and II he changes his mind and
continues at tie head Of British political
affairs IL viii be at the urgent solicitation
Of the Queen. a large number Of official
kilograms have passed to-day between
ELondOn and BalmOral.
