The Marquis of Salisbury Asks Adjournment
Until Tuesday.
LONDON June I9-Great crowds of people
throng all the streets in the neighborhood of the
Parliament House. The outpouring of the peo-
pie to-day is greater by far than at any time
since the beginning of the present crisis in pub
lie affairs. The police have great difficulty in
keeping the entrance to the House Of Parla
ment clear that members may have easy access.
There is an unusually full attendance of mem
bers to-day Liberals and Conservatives are oc-
cupyng their usual seats
The Liberal leaders have not We. given to the
Conservatives any pledge of assistance in the
conduct of the government.
Inthe House of Lords to- day the Marquis of
Salisbury rose amid cheers ard asked Lord
Granville to consent to an adjournment of the
House until Tuesday next He said the confer
ences of the Liberals and the Conservatives had
not yet reached stage to enable either side to
make statement; therefore it would be more
convenient for .all to postpone any discussion
until Tuesday next He wished, however, to
make just one observation in respect to a very
important order on the paper. He was aware
of the Importance of pushing the redistribution
of seats bill to conclusion, but very
serious question had unfortunately arisen
in connections with the measure. 1t had became
known that fhe redistribution of seats bill had
destroyed oneset of constituencies. The Marquis
of Salisbury further objected to the redistrou-
ton Of seats bill, because, when passed in its
present FORM it would prevent, even in case of
necessity an appeal to the country before No
vember.
The motion Of the Marquis to postpone until
Tuesday next the consideration of the redissri-
button of seats bill was then adopted by vote
of l23 to Sc
Earl Kimberly, who was Secretary of State
for India in Mr. Gladstores Ministry, voted
against the motion to adjourn.
In the House of Commons this afternoon Mr..
Labouchere asked if it were true that the Mar
quls of Salisbury was prevented from taking Of
flee by his failure to secure assurances of sup
part from the retiring government. He added
that he himself and many other Radicals
strongly objected to any assurance being given
to the Conservatives on their taking Office.
Mr.. Gladstone, in reply to the question, said
that when he was last asked similar question
he stated that he had not, at that time, had any
conference with the Marquis of Salisbury. Since
then, however he had received overtures from
the Marquis of Salisbury:
The House, on motion of Mr. Gladstone ad-
journed until Tuesday next
There was another conference of Conservatives
this morning in the residence of the MARQUIS of
Salisbury, and, as heretofore all present were
pledged to secrecy The MARQUIS in an open
letter, writes that the imputation that the Con
servatives desire war with Russia is ridiculous.
The necessity for such a letter, some Conserva-
tives say, is due entirely to the recent secret
conference of the lee 'ers of the party.
The negotiations between the Liberals and
Conservatives are proceeding through the medi-
TN Of the Queen. The Marquis of Salisbury
urges that if the redistribution Of seats bill is
fully passed, the Conservatives will be deprived
of the constitutional alternative of appealing to
the country, should the Liberals unfairly hamper
their government Therefore the Marquis of Sal
isbury, unexpectedly, after taking the best legal
advice on the subject decided not to allow the seats
bill to pass into law until further conderation
has been had It is impossible for the new bill to
come into operation before November, hence Lord
Salisbury insists upon having Liberal pledges not
to wilfully obstruct the Conservative leaders.
The Conservatives are alarmed at the tone of
Mr. Chamberlain's recent speeches, which denote
an intention on his part to harass the Conserva-
tives to his utmost The Conservatives insist
that the Liberals will yet be compelled to accept
Lord Salisbury's terms.
Under the threat of the Conservatives that
they will appeal to the present constituencies. it
is expected that Mr.. Gladstone will succeed in
persuading the Radical section to agree to allow
the budget deficit to be carried next year,
though the Liberals would gladly avoid giving
levy unpleasant taxes which would prove
great disadvantage to them in the coming elec-
ton.
Lord Salisbury asked pledge of the Liberals
that they would fairly consider the budget
scheme and if they disapproved it, would
consent to let the deficit be carried
to 1856, and to allow the Conservatives the
whole time of the House of Commons during
the remainder of the session. Mr.. Gladstone
declined to give pledge regarding an unseen
scheme of finance

Spencer has postponed his departure fromIre.
land.
The Liberals have resolved to stop sup
plies until the redistribution of seats
bill is completed They will probably
oppose the making Of the first Lordship of the
Treasury sinecure. when a vote is asked for
the salary of f5, 600 attached to that position.
1t is understood that Sir Stafford Northcote has
accepted the peerage regardless of any action
that may be taken.
The News says it is able to state that Mr.
Gladstone's reply is final, and that there is no
chance of the matter being arranged by further
Liberal concessions. The Conservatives are
signing memorial to Lord Salisbury asking
him to refuse the Office unless pledge be OBJ
tanned from the Liberals.
The Standard believes that Mr.. Gladstone is
willing to resume Office if the MARQUIS of Sails
bury declines. In that event. it says, the
coercion act will be dropped, and Earl Spencer
and the Marquis of Harrington will not enter
the Cabinet. The Liberals are signing a me-
mortal to Mr.. Gladstone. asking him to give way.
The Dublin Freeman's Journal, in a leading
editorial upon the new British Ministry, gives a
cordial approval to the appointment of the Earl
of Carnarvon as Lord Lieutenant Of ireland.
