 LONDON, Jan. ~29.-The Boston Globes representative has cabled tonight as fol- lows:
 Lord Salisbury is at the Osborne house this evening conferring with her majesty. It is believed that the question of issuing royal writs for new election will be con sidered in this conference. If her majesty is convinced that 8 fresh appeal to the people will result in an increase of the Conservative strength, there is no doubt that she will take this step rather than perform the hateful ceremony of sending for MT. Gladstone and asking him to form a ministry. Her repug nance to Gladstone which at first was ardly more than part of her instinctive dislike for liberal people and principles, seems in late years to have strengthened into per- sonal antipathy for the man who is asso- ciated in her thought and feeling with the defeat which clouded the last days of her ia vorite statesman and almost idoliZed friend, Disraeli, to whose political audaeitv she owes her title of Empress of India. But if she is advised by Lord Salisbury that on the defeat of the Conservatives the moral effect of that defeat will favor the Liberals, it is thought likely that she will yield to the inevitable and summon MT. Gladstone. It is hardly possible that any other man among the Liberals would consent to undertake the formation of gov ernment, even if asked to do SO by the Queen. The former occasion some years ago when Lord Harrington essayed the task diff fered in many respects from the present one. Certain measures championed by MT. Glad stone had then been discredited and there was at least the shadow of an excuse for ignoring his natural claims to the leadership. But he is now in the position of having just led vic torious movement, and though the Queen may allow personal feeling to influence her and summon another statesman, it will be remarkable thing if the one called upon will ventrae to so far disregard precedent and traditional courtesy as to attempt to lead the Liberal party while its acknowledged chief remains in subordination. Upon Salisbury's return to London tomorrow the decision reached by the Queen may become known unoficially, but the official statement of her plans will not be made in it's entirety until the House reassembles on Monday.
 A dispatch from Athens tonight confirms the rumor received to day that the Greek ministry have announced their decision to conform to the wishes of Europe in regard to the attitude of Greece toward Turkey and Bulgaria. This gratifying intelligence comes so quickly after Gladstone's appeal to the for moderation and his practical of control in English politics as to strongly confirm the recent predictions in these dispatches that Gladstone's return to power will have a beneficial influence in eastern affairs. It is hoped that no further trouble will occur in the Balkans peninsula before the conference of ambassadors shall have rendered it's decision to which the sev eral disputants have agreed in advance to submit.
 A later dispatch from Athens reports the of the ministry owing to the de- termination to abandon the warlike attitude lately maintained. It is expected that the new ministry will differ but slightly from the old, the resignations being designed sim ply to enable the King to follow the prece- dents established in such cases and to an- nounce new foreign policy according to the usual formalities.
