Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON. June 1.-THE papers all day yester.
day continued TO print rumors that the split in
the conservative ranks shown by Lord Ran.
dolph ChurchiliS vote against Sir Stafford
Northcote in the Commons on Monday signified
such break i'll the purity that Lord Salisbury
would bc unable to form a cabinet. 1t is seen
this morning how mistaken these rumors were.
AS already cabled, Lord Randolph Churchill
began to dictate conditions. These Wee eN.
tensive reorganization OF the tory party re.
CARDS the leaders No doubt he was right u
insist upon an infusion of young blood. 1t Is
equally clear that he has gained his point. In
current slang, he has kicked Northcote UP
stairs-that Is, into the house of lords
HARMONY AMONG THE CONSERVATIVES
All the differences of opinion in the conserya-
tiveS' ranks have been recouciled, and all per-
sonal jealouses accommodated. Tomorrow
Lord Salisbury will present a united cabnct to
the queen. Lord Salisbury himself will be Sec
retary for foreign affairs; Sir Michael Hicks ii.
Beach chancellor OF the eNchequer and leader
in the commons, and Lord Randolph Churchill
will take the India Office. Sir stafford North
cote will accept some office OF great dignity but
of no importance, like lord privy seal or presi-
dent of the council All this is the result OF
Churchilfs long conference with Salisbury yes
terday morning.
GLADSTONE MORE POPULAR THAN EVER.
The great piece of news this morning is the
authoritative statement that Gladstone has
clined it with thanks 1t is doubtful if he ever
was more popular in the rank and file of the
radical party than now. Last night at great
its feet and cheered again and again at the acci-
dental mention of his name. This refusal OF
an almost unprecedented honor, the Times
points out, There is no parallel case nearer than
Sir Robert Walpoie, made Earl of Oxford in
1742,) is certain to evoke a burst of enthusiasm
throughout the country. Ii cannot be better
described than in Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourts IS
words at the meeting last night before the fact
was generally known. He said: I'VE shall fight
the great campaign for the old cause and the
old man. Under that flag and i'm that name we
shall appeal TO an enfranchised nation. We
shall go forth conquering and TO conquer, and
yet to place upon that honored head which the
tories have detained, insulted and reviled, the
worthy crown of final victory This is an
epitome of the feeling of the liberal party.
WHAT IT MEANS.
The chief significance of GladStOne's refusal is
that it affords proof that he is going to lead mis-
party through the election into the next parlia-
ment.
Earl Spencer will be made a duke. The ma
tionals are preparing to celebrate his appoach-
ing departure by bonfires throughout Ireland.
SIR HENRY WOLFF FOR THE WASHINGTON
MISSION.
Sir Henry Wolff has been mentioned several
times for the legation at Washington. Baron
De Worms, who will probably be the under Sec
retary for foreign affairs assures me that Wolff &
name has not yet been officially spoken of for
the post, but it is not impossible that he may
get it.
