now, when Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir Charles Dilke
are understood to be less unwilling than they were
to resume office, it is not believed the Cabinet
as q whole can be put together. The difficulties are
great on either side 1t is O. time for pubic

the spirit of party.

of them is the account which Lord Randolph
Churchill imparts to his more cOnfdng friends OIL
the Monday night coup in the House OF Commons.
1t was, says this ingenious young noble, unpre-
meditated. He had not meant to go down to the
House. An accident caused him to be present. No
motion had been agreed on with his friends. and he
had no idoa whatever that he would be supported
by Sir Michael Hicks Beach. The farce Of inno-
cence can no further go.
