THE DEFEAT A SURPRISE.
The greatest surprise is expressed al
the defeat of the government as il
expected an effort would be made
last night TO prevent the proposed in
crease OF duties upon beer aud spirits
and there was no idea that the oppo-
sition would overturn the cabinet. IL
seems TO be regarded as extremely
doubtful whether the ministers could
resign and leave unfinished so many
important matters relating TO both
home aud foreign affairs. Nothing
more untoward than the present crisis
could have occurred and apparently
men of all parties are OF the opinion
that the government should at least
remain Professionally, that is until
after the general election.
GLADSTONE uSDIsTuRBED.
Mr.. Gladstone few minutes after 4
O'Clock this afternoon entered the
house of commons. His appearance
was that of firm man, perfectly I'M
disturbed. He at once proceeded to
the speakers desk and entered into
conversation with MIR. Peel. During
the conversation the premier was owl
IDENTIFY in bright spirits and he was
loudly cheered by the radical mem
beers when he seated himself in his
usual place. His very selfposscssiou
seemed to enthuse his admirers, and
the chamber was iairly rent with cheer
after cheer and the applause became
an ovation. At last Mr.. Gladstone
arose in Difference to the greeting and
said the cabinet in assembling to-day
thought they were under obligations
to submit dutiful communication to
the queen. 1t would be premature on
his part TO enter into particulars con.
corning the nature of that Communi.
cation just now; he would say how
ever that as on former occasions few
days must elapso before the rusult of
that communication could be arrived
at so as to be made known to the
house; during the interval Mr.. Glad
stoae concluded the house would fol-
low its usual custom in refraining
from transaction of its ordinary
business and he wonld move that the
house on rising do adjourn until Fri
day.
AT B O'Clock p. III. the house of COM
mons and house of lords adjourned
until next Friday.
British consols have fallen is since
the closing of the market this after
noon.
PRESS OPINIONS OF THE CRISIS.
The daily Telegraph says il Is
doubtful whether the conservatives
will accept office. The News, in an
editorial says: 1t is impossible to
forecast consequences of the vote.
The ministry will probably resign and
the opposition take possession of the
government, but we do not suppose
even conservative leaders will seek to
undo what has been done on the
Afghan question. The whole policy
of the country is thrown into mo-
mcntary. we hope il may not be last
ing, confusion.
OLD THORs OPINION OF IT.
The Times in an editorial says: "The
resignation of the cabinet in the pres
cnt condition of affairs must not be
hastily decided upon: II is the gov
ernments duty TO consider whether
such course would not be grave
wrong to the country. The financial
mOdus vivendouN might easily be ar
ranged by abandoning the increase in
the duties ON beer and spirits, without
leaving Childers n larger deficit TO
carry forward to the next budget than
would have been the Oase il the whole
of the eleven millions OF the vote of
credit had been spent instead of only
nine millions.
THE STANDARDS VIEW.
London, June 9 The Standard, in
an editorial says: 1--WE cannot believe
that the ministers will leave their
offices. They have received a mortal
stroke but they must, whether they
like II Or not, agree 10 l!nger on until
the general election. Their very
blunders render them indispensable.
Everything is unfinished and hangs
in suspense. The Standard says that
Earl Spencer wanted the duration of
the Grimes Act to be three years but
compromise on two years was
agreed to.
\ bill RATED under Earl Spencer's
directions has been considered by the
cabinet. II is a comprehensive meas
ure of local selfgovernment for Ire
land including the abolition of the
vice royalty.
AN IRISH PAPERS THRUST.
Dublin, June 9.-rhe Freeman''
journal, commenting on the defeat Of
the government last night, says
The defeat is due to the action of the
Parnellites in refusing to uphold ,
cabinet from which Ireland could eA
pect nothing but injustice, as wa
forcshadowed in the proposed at
tempt TO again saddle upon IRELAND
the iniquitous provisions of til,
Grimes Act. The result of the vot
last night will cause Earl Spencer an,
his lieutenants at the Castle to qui
Ireland, leaving behind them tn
, memory of an administration whic
| was pre-eminently noted for colo
bloOded brutality and calculating in
Justice. Earl Spencer may receive
dukedom tor his misrule of Irelan'
but ii would be well for the quee
I and NJ. Gladstone to bear in min
! that ii was the lord-lieutenants han
c that destroyed the greatest COVER
d mcnt England ever had during II
v last century. If ii had not been f
/. Earl Spencer's misstatements in l
: gard to the condition of Ireland al
f his influence in the cabinet, n
: Gladstone would have sought I
II friendship of Mr.. Parnell and his f
r lowers instead of provoking the
ID hostility by such arbitrary measul
s. as the proposed renewal Of the Co
III ciOn Bill.
