LONDON, June Q. 9.-London is seeth-
ing " iih political excitement over the
of the Gladstone Ministry,
and the great victory OF the publicans
Ia being uprOariously celebrated in
every public house In the metropolis.
AT 430 o'clock this afternoon Mr..
G !adstone announced to the House of
Commons the resignation of the Cabi-
net. 1t had met at 10 o'clock and did
not adjourn until after O'Clock. The
was thoroughly discussed, and
the decision arrived at that, in view OF
the defeat of the government
in the House Of Commons last night on
the second reading Of the budget, it
wou Id be inconsistent for the members
to remain longer In office. and
their designations should be at
once rendered to the Queen.
1t was few minutes after 4 O'Clock
when MIR. Gladstone entered the House,
with O perfectly firm and undisturbed
appearance. The Liberals loudly
cheered him. and noticed with pleasure
that he was evidently in bright spirits.
He said that the Cabinet on assem- bling
today thought they were under obliga-
ton to submit q dutiful communication
to the Queen. TCheers 1t would be
premature on his part to enter into
concerning the nature of the
now.
He would say, however, that, ~ on
former occasions, q few days must elspse
before the result of that communication
could be arrived at 30 as to be made
known to the House. During the
interval, Mr.. Gladstone concluded, the
House would follow Its usual custom in
refraining from the transaction Of Its
ordinary business, and he wonld move
that the House, on rising, do adjourn
until Friday. This motion was adopted
in both the Commons and the LOrdA.
Although Mr.. Gladstone's statemen
In the House Of Commons this after
noon did not contain any direct an
nouncement OF resignation by the Cabi.
net, the terms he employed, being those
which have Invariably been used on
similar OCCASIONS, were taken to indi-
cate that the designations had been de-
cided on and rendered to the Queen.
If last nights vote could be taken
over again the Government would be
sustained, owing TO the presence OF
large numbers of Liberals, who we're
sulking last night, and who by their
absence turned what they meant for q
gentle admonition to Mr.. Gladstone
into a crushing defeat of their party.
THE CONSERVATIVE PROGRAMME.
1t is now generally believed that the
Conservatives will accept office, and
that their policy, at least on home At.
fairs, during the next six months, will
no one Of sfence and inactivity. They
will make no effort to renew the Irish
Grimes act, on the plea that 1t could
not be passed by the present Parlia.
ment, In face of the opposition by Radi
calls, Parnellites and the Churchill
TO lowing. They will do nothing In
the way Of initiating new legislation,
urging the excuse that they are in q
minority in the House of Commons.
They W Ill thus seek to lessen the burden
of RESP onsibility which the acceptance
Of office would entail, and their main
object will be to provide material fol
assaults upon the Liberals In the com
ing campaign and to keep their OWL
armor as whole as may be.
1t Is probable that the general elec
tion will be postponed from November
until January, which will give botl
sides more time to adjust themselves Il
the changed condition of affairs.
REJOICING OF THE IRISH.
DUBLIN, June l0.-The Freeman
Journal to-day, commenting on the de
, feat of the Government last night OF
the budget, says The defeat is du
to the action of the Parnellites in re
fusing to uphold a Cabinet from
W bich they received nothing bu
broken promises, and from which
ireland could expect nothing but In
justice, as was foreshadowed in tn
proposed attempt to again saddle upol
Ireland the iniquitous provisions OF tn
Grimes act.
The result of the vote last night will
cause Earl Spencer and his lieutenant
at the Castle to quit Ireland, leavinl
behind them the memory of an admin
istration which was pre-emiuent TO
cold-blooded brutality and frigid, cal
culating injustice. Earl Spencer ma.
receive dukedom for his misrule o
Ireland, but 1t would be well for tn
1
mind that it was the Lord Lieutenant
ment England has had during the las
century.
If it had not been for Earl Spencer
miss tate ments in regard to the condI
tion of Ireland and his influence in tn
Cabinet Mr.. Gladstone would hav,
sought the friendship of Mr.. Parnel
and his followers instead Of provokin
their hostility by such arbitrary mei
sures as the proposed renewal Of tn
Coercion bill.

John Dewey, of the Irish Nation, sait
"The chief hope of the Ir ish party is !

upon 1t as an inevitable result Of Il
breakup of this Ministry that tf

leader of Radical opposition to bol
