Conservatives Still Hesitating to Man the
English Ship, Knowing Their
Own Weakness.
Report That at Meeting Of the Glad
stone Cabinet They Decided to
Aid the Tories.
The Queen Particularly Anxious that
Salisbury Shall Form
Ministry.
Much Speculation ut the Outcome, So
Many Rumors Being in
Circulation.
The Situation.

res will not assume power unless the Lib
erals pledge themselves to refrain from OBJ
structing the progress of the new govern
ment. This promise the Liberals refuse to
give. They say: ''You overthrow us by
opposition. We, simply as parties, eX-
change functions" The deadlock, based
as it is gives cast of abSurdity to the whole
British-pOlitical situation. Here is party
which having driven the government out OF
power by relentless, often unreasonable Op-
position, does not take its prize unless its
defeated enemies bind themselves from at
tempting to recover it. Nothing more alb
surd can happen, unless it be the return Of
the Liberals to power, because of the fears
of the Tories to assume it. The very ma
ture of the political situation engenders all
manner of rumors. One of the
latest of these is to the effect
hat sufficient number of Liberals have
given assurance of support to Tory gov
ernment to induce Lord Salisbury to break
the deadlock and proceed with the work OF
forming a ministry. On the other hand, it
is asserted that no Liberal leaders have
joined in any such assurance, and that
therefore the Tories dare not take power.
The queen is said to be positively anxious
that the Conservatives form government,
and it is generally believed that her majesty
is using all her influence to in
duce Lord Salisbury to accept office.
Among the best informed the situation is
deemed critical, and the issue absolutely in
doubt. When Lord Salisbury was recently
asked how his party would dispose of the
remaining parliamentary business, in the
event OF assuming power, he intimated that
he would not object to votes of cenSure on
what they should do, provided the votes
were made by responsible leaders. He ex-
planned the probability of being met by
censure by saying that if his party
took Office they would refrain from intro
ducing auy new legislation during the re-
mainder of the session, and would treat
such legislation as they inherited in the
manner they had treated it while in opposi-
ton. On this plan Lord Salisbury said he
would not object to votes of censure be-
cause vote of that kind would give the
Conservatives an opportunity to properly
appeal to the country for Endorsement. The
Radical portion of MI. Gladstone'S follow
ing are
PARTICULARLY ANXIOUS
to have the Tories go into Office, knowing
that the sagaciouS leaders among them
would harass any Conservative ministry.
In order to bring the present session to a
sclose, it is believed both parties may agree
to dispose of the budget by retaining the
proposed addition to the income tax and by
agreeing to have the remainder of the
deficiency met by the issue of the ex-
chequer bonds.
FORMING PLANS.
The Gladstone cabinet met this morning
and discussed the scope Of the assurances
OF 10 fha ,o,,f xuhioh If
is proposed that the Liberals shall give to
this afternoon that the Gladstone cabinet
has concluded to give all the aid that
may be in their power to aid the Conserv-
atives to take office. 1t is said the cabinet
adopted resolution to this effect. There
are other reports, however, that the Tories
have refused to accept the responsibility of
forming ministry under existing circum-
stances, and that Mr. Gladstone will resume
the premiership.
The Dublin Freeman's Journal publishes
long interview with Bishop O'Connor of
Nebraska and Wyoming, in which the
prelate depreciates extensive Irish i'm
migration. The bishop takes the ground
that for twothirds of the people
who leave ireland as emigrantS to America
the change means misfortune and hardships
of most terrible kind, besides moral
degradation more appalling. ''In the great
cities of the East" said the bishop, ''Irish
newcomers sink daily, until they become
the scum of the population, without money
and without friends. In this condition they
are compelled to do the hardest and most
menial labor, and from this position they
can seldom rise, If they go West" he
continues, their prospects are scarcely
any better. In the West there is, of course,
LAND IN ABUNDANCE,
but this land must now be purchased and
the Irish emigrant has no money" In COM
menting On the surprising declarations made
in the interview, the Journal expresses the
hope that the statement may save many
Irishmen from misery and ruin beyond the
Atlantic.
The commander of the Indian army re-
Gently instructed Lieut.. Jennings to ascer-
tain if it was practicable to
disembark an army corps on
the coast of Beloochistan, and
march then to Herat, without touching At
CHAN OF Persian territory. Lieut.. Jennings
started out, determined to perform his i'm
portant task in the most thorough manner
possible. After numerous adventures he
has arrived within five days army travel of
Herat The route he has traversed lies
through richly-wooded and well-watered
country, with the single exception of des-
ert tract about sixty miles in width. He re-
grets that by means of this journey he has
arrived at the conclusion that Russian
army, operating against India, couldn't be at
tackled on its flank by the route he traversed,
and he also states that his adventure demon
strateS that there exists an easy route for an
advance from Russia to
THE INDIAN OCEAN.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes what
it declares to be the boundary line agreed
upon by Germany and England in New
Guinea. This line starts on the 9Th parallel
of latitude at the northeast corner of the
island, and follows it until the intersec-
ton with the Hath degree of longitude.
Hence the line runs northwest to the point
of intersection of the 14th degree of
longitude, with the 9th parallel of lati-
tude, and thence to the intersec-
ton of the 5th parallel of
latitude with the 141st degree of longitude.
The territory which lies south of this line
is admitted to be British, and that which
lies north is German. Under this arrange
ment the British possessions do not include
either Long island, ROok island or any
Island adJacenI nOrIn Oh lne otn parallel OF
latitude.
Forty Moors are going to America, by
order of the government of Morocco, to

isbury this afternoon second conference

slider the terms of the aid promised them by

cabinet were impaired to the Conservatives
by the queen.
