BosTos, July I7th.-The "Herald's'
London correspondent cabled tonight as
follows: The different party classified
tions of the new members agree with a
cIoseness that is really surprising in
view of The great number of returns and
the universal lOOseness Of political ties /;
but no two match on every name.
There are four or five members whose
attitude is more or less dubious, and in
dealing with these the cOmputers allow
themselves some latitude. The returns
received up to noon to-day cover 663
seats, leaving only seven unreported,
and exclusive of the Speaker, the disrri-
button is as follows: Conservatives,
318; Unionist Liberals, "A; Gladstone
ties, 1877; Nationalists, SO. The Con-
servatives have a plurality of 56 over
Liberals of all kinds, and they fall 81
below the United vote of Liberals and
still to be heard from were represented
in the last Parliament by one Conserva-
tive, three Gladstoneites and three Ma
tionalists.
The Liberal Ministry TO design.
LONDON, July 18th.-At an informal
meeting of the Cabinet on Saturday,
Gladstone spoke in favor OF an immedi-
ate resignation, and was supported by
Earl Spencer and John Morley. Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, H. G. H.
Childers, H. Campbell-Bannerman and
Sir Farrar Herschell were in favor of
challenging a vote of the House OF Com
mons on a motion affirming the principle
of Home Rule for Ireland. Subsequently,
at the dinner given by the Premier,
Gladstone stated that he had infexibly
decided to resign and conduct an uncom-
promising opposition. In this decision
Sir William Vernon Harcourt and Chill
ders then concurred.
Lord Harrington and Sir Henry James
have definitely declined to join CO.
alition Ministry. Lord Salisbury'5 offer
to make the Duke of Argyll Premier was
contingent upon Lord Harrington joining
the coalition Ministry, and, of course, is
now withdrawn. The Duke of Argyll
will probably be made Viceroy of Ire
land, with Stanhope as Secretary.
New YORK, July 18th.-The Trib-
une's" London cablegram says: 1t does
not appear that Gladstone shares the
hopes entertained by some OF the Lib
erals of speedy reunion OF the party.
His forecast of the political future pro
ceeds on a different calculatiOn-the old
one of inevitable Tory blunders. Lord
Salisbury will take office, and Glad
stones $50 followers, including the Par
nellites, will form a compact opposition.
Salisbury must frame a policy for Ire
land. which cannot be Home Rule in any
shape, as Parnell would accept 1t.
Gladstone believes that any possible
Tory scheme for governing Ireland must
break down; that the moment will come
when the Liberal-Unionists will find
themselves unable to support their
allies that the Ministry will go to
pieces, and that when another election
ensues the country will see that no plan
other than Gladstone's is practicable.
This forecast assumes the continuance
of good understanding between himself
and ParneI, apropos of which there is a
curious story Parnell visited Hawarden
before Gladstone left home, and the
belief among the Ministerialists is that
Parnell will continue to act with Glad
stone.
