LONDON, June Is.
The Standard hears that Psrnell and sew
eral follows will go to America in the autumn
to raise funds for the campaign.
1t is believed that at their last meeting the
liberal ministers decided to offer no faetious
opposition to the conservatives except in re-
gard to the budget which Gladstone will
oppose if unsatisfactory.
The Times in an editorial says: The new
cabinet is a compromise between rebuilding
Disraeli ministry and an infusion of new
blood demanded by Lord Randolph Churchill.
1t is not complete triumph for Lord Ran
dolph although his principal demands have
been conceded. Msgivings are widely enter
tanned lest his rashness and inexperience in
cite injury in India at critical moment. but
he must work in HARMONY with Earl Dufferiu
and the council of India. Lord Randolph
probably insisted that renewal of the CO.
ercion act be abandoned.
Referring to Chamberlain's charges that
$4,000 soldiers are maintained in Ireland To
support British rule, the Tines asks him if
he will be ready to acquiesce if Ireland wish
es to separate when the restraining force is
Withdrawn and warns him against trifling for
party purposes with the gravest imperial in
terests.
Chamberlain, president of the board of
tiouSs SpSdhHS III euppuTt VI uih UtottleF =
candidature for Parliament, said Lord Ran
dolph Churchill had his foot on Lord Sails
bury's neck. He (Chamberlain) liked Lord
Randolph, however, because he had bor-
rowed his political baggage from the radicals
Chamberlain dwelt upon the antagonism be-
tween the two policies of Lord Salisbury and
Lord Randolph Churchill in regard to Ireland
and Egypt, and concluded: '.The tine has
arrived to reform that altogether and irritat
ing anachrOnism kno,sn as Dublin Castle"
Gladstone delivered up to the Queen to
day the seals of the office of prime minister.
Unexpected developments to day render il
quite possible, in the opinion of manv liber-
ais, that Gladstone, however much he may
be disnclined, will be compelled to return
to office
1t is reported that the Marquis of Salisbury
demanded from the retiring ministry more
comprehensive promise of support than they
were prepared to give. 1t is believed by
many liberals also, that the visit, to-day of
Gladstone to the Queen at Windsor Castle
had sQme connection with the subject of a
return to Office. The conservatives, however,
have not the least doubt but that the Marquis
of Salisbury will accept office.
York was visited this forenoon by an
earthquake shock which lasted several sec
onds and caused great alarm.
In accordance with the decision of meeting
of Marquis of Salisbury and other conserva-
tives, Sir Stafford Nortlcote has been ap-
pointed first lord of the treasury, with peer
age, the premiership remaining in the hands
of Lord Salisbury. Arthur Balfam will be
president of local government board without
a seat in the cabinet. Hon. Edward Stan
hope will be vice president of council.
The queen has sent Sir Stafford NOrthcote
an autograph letter thanking him for his high
services and offering him an earldom, he will
assume the title of Earl of Iddesleigh and
Viscount st. Cyres.
