LONDON, January 27.-The defeat Of
the Government last night has left all
political parties in the House Of Com
mons in state Of chaos, aud il may re-
suit in the dissolution Of Parliament
and an appeal to the country.
The Irish Times says the Parnellites
rely for help on Mr.. Gladstone alone.
They believe that be will make them an
offer looking to the settlement Of the
Irish question.
Mr.. Gladstone held q conference this
afternoon with Lord Granville IN rela-
ton to the resumption Of Office by the
Liberals.
The Marquis Of Salisbury will have
an interview to-day with Mr.. W. II.
Smith, who was yesterday sworn in as
Chief Secretary for Ireland.
THE ENGLISH MINISTRY TO RESIGN.
LONDON, January 27.-The meet
ing Of the Cabinet to-day lasted an
hour. The situation was fully dis
.cussed and it was resolved that the
Ministers should at once resign. The
Marquis of Salisbury sent special
message to Osborne to inform the Queen
of the decision Of the Cabinet.
PABNELL AND GLADSTONE.
The Globe Conservative this eve-
ming says it is rumored that Parnell has
resolved to use the Home-Rule vote to
overthrow Mr.. Gladstone in the first
opportunity that presents itself should
the Liberals assume power. Mr.. Par
nell will do this, according to rumor, for
the purpose Of exhibiting to the Irish
abroad his power in Parliament in
order to stimulate donations to the Par
nellite treasury, which was nearly
drained by the recent elections.
The Globe is authority for the state
ment that Mr.. Gladstone's new Cabinet
will probably be mainly Radical, and
that it will introduce a measure of Eng
lish and Irish land policy designed to
settle the Irish question without con-
cedipg home-rule in any form. In this
way Gladstone hopes, the Globe says,
to retain the support Of both Radicals
and Parnellites.
Lord Salisbury is anxious to acquaint
the country with the nature of the
Irish policy be intended to pursue if he
had remained in power, and will prob
ably take occasion to make some state
ment in the House Of Lords tomorrow,
which will give him an opportunity to
unfold bis intended treatment OF the
Irish question.
THE PRESS on THE SITUATION.
LONDON, January 27.-The Pail
Mall Gazette, commenting on the
fact that record shows that Hart
ipgton and Goshen. both Liberals,
had voted with the Government in
the division last night on the calling Of
the land allotment amendment, declares
that their desertion of the Liberals in
the division completely disbars the
Queen from entrusting either Of them
with the work Of forming a new Minis
try. The Gazette further says that
Harrington may possibly return to
private life. The Conservatives rely
upon discussions in the Liberal ranks
to prevent Mr.. Gladstone from forming
durable Cabinet. Mrs. Gladstone to-
day took letter from Mr.. Gladstone
to Lord Harrington.
LONDON, January 27.-The Pail
Mall Gazette, in leading editorial,
points out as a sombre coincidence the
fact that the Salisbury Cabinet fell on
the anniversary Of the death of Gen.
eral Gordon, who was killed at Khar-
toum January &c, 1855.
Continuing, the Gazette says " Par
nell confronts the country as modern
Warwick, being king-maker in reali-
ty. The retiring Minister,
however, deserves uDgrudging praise,
as no recent Government with so brief
a career had such a creditable record.
The Marquis of Salisbury's foreign
policy has not been marked by a single
blunder. Lord Randolph Churchill was
made steady and sober politician by
the responsibility Of holding office. The
Earl of Carnarvon, Lord-Lieutenant of
Ireland, under difficult conditions, did
better than other Viceroy of Ireland.
1t is evident the Liberals do not monopo-
lie the requirements for statesman
ship"
Specializing on the probabilities of
the new ministry, the Pail Mall Ga
zette says strong one could be formed
by Gladstone if he would take into it
such men as Chamberlain, Morley,
Sprostan, Game, Reginald Brett, Sir
George Russell, Lord Roseberry, Lord
and Parnell. Roseberry, |
he Gazette thinks, should be made |
Colonial Secretary, and Harrington
Foreign Secretary in place Lord Derby |
Ind Lord Granville, who filled those
,fficeS respectively in the last Gladstone
Cabinet, and who, together with the Earl
If Kimberly, formerly Liberal Secre- !
airy for India, should, the Gazette |
maintains, be excluded from any future
Government the Liberals may be called
lpon to form.
Parnell, the paper continues, will in
ny event be virtually Chief Secretary
or Ireland, and he might as well be
AIKEN into the Cabinet first as last. In
onclusion, the Gazette says that il
Gladstone will form his Cabinet Of the
naterial suggested he will secure for
imself the prospect Of a strong and
table Government.
LONDON, January 2S.-The Stand
nd this morning says that Lord Sails
ury and Sir Michael Hicks Beach will
nnounce in Parliament to. day the resig-
alton of the Government.
The Daily Telegraph says it is the
pinion Of leading Liberals, including
lany former Ministers, that Gladstone
hould invite the assistance of Parnell
Mr.. IIealy in arranging the home
nle scheme for Ireland.
DUBLIN, January 27.-The Free
ANS Journal is jubilant over the de-
at of the Government, and says
The action Of the leaders of the Ma
onal League in defeating the Govern
