Salisbury Accepts OfIce-COmposftIOn
of the New Cabinet.

LONDON, June 22d.-As the result of the
| Queens efforts, the Marquis of Sails
bury has resolved to accept Gladstone's
| promise to use his influence with the
Liberals to prevent factious opposition.
1t is expected that Salisbury will announce
| the formation of the Cabinet with Mr.
Bourke probably as Chief Secretary for
Ireland. Writs will be then issued for
/ the reelection of the Cabinet members.
The following is an authentic list of
! the new Cabinet: Prime Minister and
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the Mar
| quis of Salisbury; First Lord of the
Treasury, Sir Stafford Northcote; Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael
| Hicks-Beach; Lord High Chancellor, Sir
Hardinge Clifford; Lord President of the
| Council, Viscount Cranbrook; Lord of the
| Privy Seal, Earl Harrowby; Secretary for
! the Home Department, Sir Richard Asshe-
ton Gross; Secretary for the Colonial De-
partment, Colonel Frederick Stanley; Sec

and Gordon; Vice-President of the COun-
Gil, Hon. Edward StanhOpe; Lord Lieu
tenant of Ireland, Earl Carnarvon; Lord
Chancellor of Ireland Right Hon. Ed.
ward Gibson. The minor Offices have not
yet been filled.
Gladstone made promise to Salisbury
to give the new Government as much time
as possible during the remainder of the
session. The correspondence between
the party leaders will probably be pre-
scented to Parliament to-day. 1t is stated
that the Conservative leaders have ar
ranged to make an effort to carry the
Welsh intermediate Education bill, the
Australian Confederation bill, the Irish
National Education bill and the Minister
for Scotland bill. Lord Salisbury de-
clined to include the Scotch Crofters BILL
The Seats bill will be finished on Tuesday
night Parliament will meet on Wednes-
day to obtain royal assent, and then adj
jOurn for the reflections.

June 23d.-The acceptance of Office by
the Marquis of Salisbury has been Of
fcially announced. The House adopted |
all the amendments to the Redistribution |
of Seats bill. The following additional !
names have been sent in as members of |
the new Ministry: Postmaster General,
Lord John Mannis; Acknowledgement for |
Ireland, Mr.. Monroe. Right Hon. Ed |
ward Gibson, besides being Lord Chan |
cellor of Ireland, will have a seat in the |
Cabinet-an unusual honor. The Chan |
cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster will be |
Henry Chaplain. It is believed that the |
Right Hon. Sir William Hart Dyke will |
be Chief Secretary for ireland. Both the |

mentary Secretary to the Treasury, Row |
land VIM; Parliamentary Secretary to |
the Indian Office, Lord Harris; Rectory |
to the Admiralty, Charles I. Richie; Civil |
Lord of the Admiralty, Ellis Ashmead |
Bartlett.
Signs of Revolt.
The Irish Secretary's 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 Con-
servatives. They decided to fight the
budget unless fully satisfactory and to
oppose the issue of exchequer bonds to
meet the deficit. Further, they will insist
upon the passage of the bill removing the
franchise disqualifcations from persons
receiving pauper medical relief. During |
the proceedings in the House of Com
mons the spirit of revolt was manifested |
in the speeches of Messrs. Ceilings and
Labouchere. The Conservatives expect |
important diplomatic changes. 1t is re-
ported that Sir Austin Layard will return
to Constantinople and that Sir Edward
Thornton will remain at st. Petersburg.
