LONDON, June lO.-IG Is TunOreu Indt
the queen has sent telegram to Mr.. Glad
stone, requesting him to reconsider his de-
cision to resign. There is no reason. how
ever. to believe that Mr.. Gladstone will,
under the existing conditions, consent to
resume Office.
GOING TO LONDON.
An official order was issued tonight clos
ing Windsor castle to the public after to-
morrow. This is sure sign OF the advent
of the queen, as Windsor is only thirty
minutes by rail from London. The return
of her majesty will greatly expedite public
business at the present crisis.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
A private delegation of Conservative
members of parliament waited upon Sir
Stafford Northcote and the Marquis of Sal
isbury to-day, and urged them
to refuse Office. The Marquis of
Salisbury stated that if the
queen called them they must form gov
ernment. He would support Sir Stafford
Northcote as premier and he expected that
the queens command would place Sir
Stafford in that position.
AN OBSTACLE.
The chief difficulty encountered by the
Conservatives in their discussions regard
ing the formation Of a ministry, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, is the problem what to
do with Lord Randolph Churchill. He
claims to have done much in the work of
destroying the Liberal government, AMI de-
mands his share of the spoilS. 1t is ap-
parent that the old Tories regard him as
troublesome and somewhat dangerous to
have around in national councils. The
Gazette intimates that polite effort will
be made to get rid of him, if the Conserva-
tives form government. He will, it is said,
be requested to go to Ireland, if not to sue
ceed the earl Of Spencer as lord lieutenant
then as chief secretary. The sort of talk
which is already being applied to the young
man is something like this: ''You certainly
prefer duty to mere ambition; therefore you
should accept this difficult and dangerous
part. Dare you accept it? If you accept,
then whether you succeed or fail you will
at least prove that you possess the great
qualities of intrepidity and self-sacrifce,
which are among the greatest gifts pos
sessed by popular statesmen" Lord Ran
dolph is very susceptible to flattery and he
might prove great Irish governor.
PRESS OPINION.
The Standard in an editorial says: ''The
duty of the Conservatives is clear. If Mr.
Gladstone insists ON resigning, the opposi-
ton are bound to accept the duty of gov
ernment. We trust they will not hesitate,
though statesmen have seldom been faced
with so uninviting task"
The Daily News, this morning. expresses
the hope that the cabinet will persist in
resigning, adding that a few months of
Tory rule will insure Liberal triumph in
the general elections.
The Times, commenting on the fact that
since the division thirty or forty Liberal ab-
sentees have declared they would have voted
with the government, says that the
ministers ought to reconsider the decision,
and if they can justify to the queen and the
country a course which will throw public
affairs into confusion and involve the state
in grave difficulties at home and abroad.
ENGLAND AND GERMANY.
BERLIN, June 10.-The general news
paper impression is that the fall of Mr..
Gladstone will tend to closer friendship
between England and Germany.
THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
The QuietneSs that has prevailed on the
stock exchange throughout the present cri-
sis is traceable to public belief that the
Conservatives must retain for a length of
time a continuity of the foreign policy. A
similar impression is prevalent in the Euro
pean bourseS.
THE FRENCH VIEW.
PARIS, June 10.-The Republique Fran
caise, speaking of the resignation of the
Gladstone cabinet says: Europe must
distrust ministry wherein the wisdom of
Sir Stafford Northcote can be annulled by
the passionate imprudence of the Earl of
Salisbury and the petulence of Lord
Randolph Churchill, when foreign questions
demand so much coolness and tact.''
MAKE NO DIFFERENCE.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 10.-Mr. Glad
stones retirement from the British cabinet
it generally believed here will not affect
the settlement Of the Afghan frontier ques-
ton.
