GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
The British Cabinet Makers.


LONDON, June l9-Marquis of Salisbury
had two hours audience with the queen
Wednesday. something unprecedented as to
length. The general features of the inter
view became known at the Carlton club
during the evening from the conversation
OF members who had attended the confer
ence. From this source it is learned that
the queen displayed knowledge and grasp
of the situation and strength of de-
termination such as she has rarely shown in
recent years. She brushed aside Lord
Salisbury's objections to taking office be
cause Of the Liberal ma jority Ia the house
by ying that she would see to it that tho
Liberals should give his administration a
reasonable degree Of support. She said
that she had already been in negotiation
with the retiring premier, and the latter
had agreed to refrain from obstructive
tactics on condition that pending legislation
should be completed as begun
In regard to foreign relations, the queen
was very positive in her demand that the
agreement in process OF negotiation between
Lord Granville and NJ de Giers regard
ing the Afghan frontier question, should
be completed, in order that peace may
be preserved between England and Russia
She also insisted upon the adyisability Of
seeking closer alliances with certain of the
continental powers, especially Germany, and
strictly enjoined Lord Salisbury to put an
end to the political isolation into which
England has been drifting
The new cabinet as far as can be learned
will be as follow: The marquis of Salisbury,
prime minister and secretary Of state for
he
Hicks Beach, chancellor of the exchequer;
Lord Randolph Churchill, secretary of state
for India; Sir Richard Asshston Gross, sec.
rotary of state for the home department; Rt
Hon. Edward Gibson, chancellor Of Ireland;
Ri Hon. William Henry Smith will prob
ably be secretary for war; Col Fredericl
Stanley secretary for the colonies; the earl
of Carnarvon will become viceroy of Ire
land, and that Hon. Edward Stanhope will
be president Of the board of trade
COLOGNE, June 10. Tho Kolnische lei
tung says: THE new English cabinet i:
hailed in political circles here with cordially
and confidence We gladly remind our.
selves that the marquis of Salisbury has al
ways been friend of Germany and an ad
vocate Of a closer union with Germany
and Austria, thereby presenting strong
contrast to Mr.. Gladstone, who has borns

MRS. CARLISLE.

BY the way, l had almost forgotten
Mrs. Carlisle. 1t is the general opinion
here that Carlisle will be reelected speak
er, and if so his wife will take very
prominent part in Washington society
The papers were full of her all last win
ter. She is tall, well formed, light
haired blonde of perhaps forty. She has
rather queenly air, talks we'll, and dur
ing her reign here as speakers wife has
made many friends and few enemies.
Living as she does at hotel, it is impos
sible for her to do very much in the way
of entertaining. but she has made it a
point to conform strictly to the rules of
etiquette. and the Riggs house, which is
her home, will probably be one of the
great places next winter.

The Buffalo Gar Road.

In company with commissioner Clark
we this week visited that portion Of the
road TO Buffalo Gap designated az the
new cutoff. Commencing at the town,
and running down the creek about w
and a half miles, then turning to the
right opposite the old Stockade. From
here the road passes over a slight rise
Of ground, through a natural pass Of
easy grade, and descending, it passes
directly In front of the school house,
west Of Mr.. Walsh's residence. Cross
ing "A portion of this gentleman's ranch,
it keeps to the right until it reaches a
point of rocks, around which the road
has been made by a good deal of blast
Ing and heavy work. This work was
justified by the fact that it saves two
crossings, and consequently two bridges,
ar. Peltz, the credit to say he has made
a good job Of it. On leaving this point
of rocks, the road keeping TO the right
of the creek, passes for about half mile
through a beautiful park surrounded by
high mountains, where it bears TO the
left and crosses the creek, over which a
good and substantial bridge has been
built. From here we pass for about
half mile over a level bench, until we
reach the only elevation OH the cutoff
that can be called a hill. 1t is very
short, and by cutting the side o fthe hill
for u short distance, the summit il
reached by ar easy grade This hill
could be avoided, but it would ~necessi
tate the building Of two more bridges
and add about a quarter of a mile to the
distance. Having reached the top on
the hill, the descent is through the tim
Der, on an easy grade, passes the cabin
belonging to Frank Hebert, and out on
to the open park where it joins the old
Buffalo Gap road.
This will make a good road, a vast
improvement over the old one, and an
estimated saving in distance Of about
two miles. 1t will be open for travel by
Sunday, the Goth of December. The
balance Of the old road is receiving due
attention. The bridges are all good.
Trade of hewn timber and built in a sub
~stantial manner though some Of them
we regret to say, are raised too high to
allow the drift and debris to pass over
during a freshet, and will likely he
swept away by the high water in the
spring. but for the winter they will be
all right and possibly may last for years.
On the whole We now think we can
consistently congratulate the people OF
Custer and Buffalo Gap on Icing con.
nected by a good mountain road.

Of this week, looking up telephone bust.
ness. He consulted a number of our
business men upon the question of ex
tending the telephone wires from this
point to Buffalo Gap, thus giving a con.
nection clear through to Deadwood. All
this can be accomplished with but little
cost, needing only the building of %
miles of line. Our follow townsman S.
X. Shankland has prepared a sketch
map showing the ronte and distance of
the completed as we'll as the contem-
pleted lines, and that Custer can be
inside the centre Of telephone system
without much effort or cost to our citi.
zens. This connection with the Gap is
a necessity, and should have the atten-
ton it demands.

The weather ut this writing is mild
and balmy in the Southern Hills. though
We had quite a cold snap ofseveral days
duration and a little snow which is now
nearly disappeared. We usually in this
section get two OF three Of these cold
snaps during the winter, but as a gener-
al rule they do not last more than four
or five days and are succeeded nv a
warm chenook breeze which often takes
away all the snow in 4 few hours, and il
Is to this and the further fact that we
frequent showers all through the
and summer months that makes
the Black Hills region u~nequalled as a
cattle country. 1t is also the potent
cause Of the unsurpassed and rarely
equalled products Of the soil.
