.SALISBURY'S CABINET.
ARGYLE AND Mr.. GOSHEN GIVE THEIR
ADHERENCE.


LONDON, July 15.-The Duke Of Argyle
and Mr.. Goschen have given their adher-
ence to Lord Salisbury's programme and
are willing to enter his Cabinet provided
the moderate Liberals secure fair share of
the offices. Lord HarrIngton's hesitance
to accept Office in Conservative Cabinet
is due to the fact that he will risk his pO-
litical future if he joins Salisbury and is
communicated by the Liberals, as he can
never thereafter succeed Gladstone in the
Liberal leadership, while by remaining in
dependent he can resume his place in the
Liberal ranks when the Irish question is
settled.
The Standard says that, considering the
relative strength of the parties, the Mar
quis of Salisbury's is the natural head of
the new government. 1t adds: ''All Con-
servatives who prize the triumph which
the Conservatives and the Liberal Union
lists won together, will wish to see the Mar
quis Of Harrington prominent member of
the new government, and will also desire
to have the Unionists fairly and fully rep
resented Unless the Marquis of Salisbury
adduces q conclusive reason against this
policy, we are sure it is the one the coun-
try will best understand. twill commend
itself to the common sense Of the electors.
If Lord Hartington's followers are willing,
we are perfectly sure that there will be no
insuperable difficulties in the way of such
an amicable arrangement"
GLADSTONE AGAIN IN LONDON.
Mr.. and Mrs Gladstone arrived in Lon
don last evening. They were driven 10
their residence in an open carriage. Crowds
of people pressed around the carriage to
shake hands with the Premier and mingled
cheers and grOans were frequently uttered
by the multitude. Mr. Gladstone is in eX-
ce)lent health.
TREvELYAN'S VIEW OF THE SITUATION.
LONDON, July 15.-Mr. George Otto
Trevelyan, in an interview with reporter,
at his residence in Grosvenor Crescent last
evening, said: "Thcrc has been such q
tremendous smashup in the Liberal party
that prefer to remain silent, but rs you
wish my personal views on the situation
am willing to state them. The catastrophe
which has betallen the party is primarily
due to the repugnanco Of Englishmen
TO the idea of entrusting the gov
ernment of Ireland and the preservation
of law and order into unfit hands. An0th-
er leading cause is the Land Purchase bill;
and the Government will never be able TO
escape the dilemma which the measure in
wolves, that if a separate and Independent
government be established in Ireland there
is no likelihood that any rents will be paid
and buying out the landlords is the only
alternative. Some Of the Ministers have
tried TO confuse the issue, hut the sense Of
the country recognizes the fact that the di-
lemma remains. If the Liberal party in
the House of Commons joins the Parnell-
ties in their purposes of obstruction, the
party will suffer further seceSsions, as a
great number of members who were elect
ed rs GladstOnians will never for moment
cooperate with the Parncllites. Therefore,
| believe a coalition between the Govern
ment and the Irish parties to be very i'm
probable, particularly the Conservatives, l
am confident, are strong enough to form a
government should they be called upon to
do so.
Reporter-What do you think of Lord
HartingtOn's accusations and Mr.. Parnell's
reply thereto?
Mr.. Trevelyan-Wcll, that's a delicate
question However, it Is undeniable that
Mr.. Parnell owns and absolutely controls
the United Ireland, and anybody who reads
that newspaper at the time of the Phoenix
Park murders must be able tojudge which
side the sympathics are with. The new
Parliament will probably be lengthy
one. Business men are sick Of frequent
elections, and will fiercely resent any
movement calculated TO prccipitate an i'm
mediate appeal TO the country.
Reporter-Do you think the split in the
Liberal party permanent?
Mr.. Trevelyan-Not at all. The Liberal
party will certainly be reunited, but it
will take years to heal the wounds infict-
cd upon it the last few months. Lord
Harrington and Mr. Chamberlain are the
best of friends, and are acting in a spirit
of mutual trust and respect. They and
their followers are almost certain 10 coop
crate in Parliament. ! am not altogether
sorry for my own defeat. | have been in
Parliament twenty-one years, and have
had no holiday in ten. Now that am re-
lieved of public duty intend to take
three months holiday season forthwith.
GladgtOne'S Reioinder.
