President Of the Council; Lord Ran
dolph Churchill. Secretary Of State for
India; Colonel Frederick A. Stanley,
Secretary Of State for War.
The new Ministry will attempt no
measures calculated TO give the Lbe-
rails chance TO gain victory. They
will recast the budget in accordance
with the votes Of the House, and when
the estimates are passed VIII dissolve
Parliament, the Psrnellites counting on
the lapsing Of the coercion measure.
The ministerial circle takes the de-
feat with equanimity. 1t is supposed
that the Cabinet, in view Of the ten
dency to disruption and internal dis
cord, were willing to take advantage Of
the chance to resign. The crisis post
poncs indefinitely the settlement with
Russia, The Conservatives will adopt
Earl Granville's frontier convention.
but will insist upon stringent guarantees
against further Russian advance.
LONDON, june l0.--itis understood
that the Conservatives will form new
Cabinet and undertake the sdmistra-
ton Of the Government, IL requested to
do so by the Queen. In the absence
Of such request they will leave the
present Ministers to untangle their own
difficulties.
THE FRREMAN's JOURNAL ON THE
SITUATION.
DUBLIN, June 9.--The Freemaa's
Journal to-day, commenting on the
defeat of the Government last night on
the budget, says The defeat is due
TO the action Of the Parnellites in re-
fusing to uphold the Cabinet, from
which they received nothing but broken
promises. and from which Ireland
could expect nothing but injustice, as
was foreshadowed in the proposed at
tempt to again saddle upon ireland the
iniquitous provisions Of the crimes act.
The result Of the vote last night will
cause Earl Spencer and his lieutenants
at the Castle to quit Ireland,
leaving behind them the memory
of an Administration which was pre-
eminently noted for cold-blooded bru-
tally and frigid, calculating injustice.
Earl Spencer may receive q dukedom
for his misrule Of ireland, but it would
be well for the Queen and Mr.. Glad
stone to bear in mind that il was the
Lord-Lieutenant's hand that destroyed
the greatest government England has
had during the last century. If it had
not been for Earl Spencer's misstate-
ments in regard to the condition of Ire
land, and his influence in the Cabinet,
Mr.. Gladstone would have sought the
friendship of Parnell and his followers
instead of provoking their hostility by
such arbitrary measures as the pro-
posed renewal of the coercion BILL"
CONTINENTAL BOURsEs AGITATED.
LONDON, June 9.-The Bourses on
the continent were considerably agi-
tated to-day by the report of the re-
signation Of the Gladstone Ministry.
A FURTHER ADJOURNMENT NECEs-
SARY.
LONDON, June 10.-The Conserva-
tives' acceptance Of Office will neces-
state further adjournment of ten
days to complete the reflections. 1t is
expected that the Queen will come to
London. The Cabinet messenger went
to Balmoral last week.
To-DAY's PRESS ON THE CRISIS.
LONDON, June l0.-The Standard,
in an editorial, says: 1.-The duty Of
the Conservatives is clear. IL Glad
stone insists on resigning, the opposi-
ton are bound to accept the duty Of
the Government. We trust they will
not hesitate, though statesmen have
seldom been faced with so uninviting
task"
The Standard thinks the Marquis OF
Salisbury will undertake to form a new
Ministry. The whole European press
express the greatest surprise at the
sudden collapse of the British Cabinet.
The News, in an editorial, says
1.-THE future of the present moment is
stepping-stone to long success.
Gladstone will be again returned to
power by an overwhelming wave of |
popular enthusiasm. The Government |
was defeated by the negligence or in
difference Of nominal adherents.
The Daily Telegraph thinks Sir
Stafford Northcote will be Premier and |
leader in the House of Commons, and
the Marquis Of Salisbury Foreign Sec
rotary. In an editorial it says: 1.-THE
thoughts Of Englishmen may well be
turned with respect and gratitude to
the veteran statesman who relinquishes
the reins Of power with so much
Difference and grace, and who will gain,
we hope, by enforced respite from the
tolls Of Government, vigor to resume
at future period the position which
none but himself can ever fill in the
councils of the country and the debates
of her Senate
The Times, in an editorial, says
Though Sir Charles Dilke's estimate of
the Liberal chances in the election are
too sanguine, the risks of losing ground
are far greater on the Conservative
than on the Liberal side. The most
serious stumbling-block for the Con-
servatives is the coercion ques-
ton. Lord Randolph Churchill
has declared against coercion, and
there are other leaders prepared to let
the act lapse in the face of the pros
pect of renewed carnival of murder
and outrage in Ireland"
