BosToN. July 1.-THE Herald's London cable
dispatch reports that mr.. Gladstone Is on the
point of resignation, and there will De no coall-
ton Ministry These two points may a;yg6 % , re-
night with q nuraber of members or his govern
ment when the whole situation was exhaustive
ly discussed. Although some, especially DIR
VIM Harcourt were in favor OF holding on TO
Office the feeling OF the majority. which ls also
the conviction of Mr.. Gladstone, was orimmedlate
resignation. The Cabinet meeting at which this
will be formally decided will be held immediately
after the last electionl held. Mr. Gladstone VIII
advise the Queen to invite HARRINGTON TO sorm
Ministry, as people calling themselves Liberals
constitute majority of the House. Inc lnvi-
tation will be formal and will be declined The
Queen will then summon Lord Salisbury. he
will accept and will invite Lord Harrington TO
enter a coalition Ministry. This Lord Harting-
ton will promptly refuse TO do under any circum,

will again be under the control OF pnreiy Con-
sentative administration. Neither Slr nenry
James, Mr.. Cham berlain, nor Mr. irev-

Gladstone seems all unconscious OF the depth
of his descent and the enormity OF his oiIense

of Iddeseigh can say: ''This is what we
recommend to to the Commons and the country.
A Birmingham paper declares itself In position
to state, which phrase probably means that this
is Chamberlain's ultimatum, Mr.. Glad
stone can reanite the Liberal party if he whistles
to- but he must definitely abandon his proposal
and recognize that he has made mistake;
otherwise the Conservative reaction will last for
twenty years"
The Tories-elect now number 3l7; of the re-
manning members to be- chosen, three will be
Parnellites, five Gladstoneites and one Tory. 1t
