of Coming Trouble.
LONDON, June 23-The crisis in political
affairs is believed to have been passed, and most
probably to- day all differences between the Con-
servatives and the Liberals will be arranged and
the Conservatives will form a new Cabinet It
is said that some technical points only yet re-
main to be settled. In principle, it is claimed,
Mr.. Gladstone has not departed from the lines
originally adopted by him. but he
has made fuller concessions to
the Conservatives than werc hoped for. He re-
serves, however, full liberty of action in regard
to any measures of moment that may be intro
duced into Parliament. At the same time he
undertakes to assist the new government in
completing the ordinary business of the session.
Earl Granville announced in the House of Lords,
this evening" and Mr.. Gladstone made a similar
announcement in the House of Commons, that
the MARQUIS of Salisbury had accepted office and
had gone to Windsor Castle to so inform the
Queen motion was made in each house to
adjourn until Thursday next.
AT the meeting of the House of Commons,
this afternoon, the members took the same seats
which they had previously occupied. The
attendance was larger than on any previous day
of the present session.
Mr. Gladstone said that he hoped, tomorrow,
to be able to inform the House of the nature Of
the communication which had passed between
himself and the Marquis of Salisbury upon the
subject of the recent Cabinet deadlock.
The Queen has confirmed Lord Salisbury's
Cabinet. The Irish Secretary portfolio was
offered to FIVE others, and declined, before Sir
William Hart Dyke accepted it.
There are symptoms already that the Radicals
will do their utmost to harass the Conserva-
tives. At an informal meeting to-day they
decided to fight the budget unless it is fully
satisfactory, and to oppose the issue of exche-
quer bonds to meet the de felt. Further they
will insist upon the passage of a bill remov-
ing the franchise disqualification from persons
receiving pauper medical relief During the
proceedings of the House OF Commons, to day,
spirit Of revolt was manifested in the speeches
of Messrs. Ceilings and Labouchere The Con-
servatives expect important diplomatic changes.
