LONDON, May 26.-The confluence expressed
last night by members in the lobby OF the
house about the result OF the cabinet council
proves on inquiry to-day to have been without
much foundation. L learn that at the council
it was decided not to abandon clause "a. Glad
stone, however, declared his willingness TO in
troduce further ''modihcations" and Will ex-
plain these at the meeting of the liberal party
tomorrow. The nature OF these notifications
is not yet known, but the ministers have de-
cided TO limit them, first, by the retention OF
the clause excluding the Irish members; sec
ondly, by forbidding the Irish members 10 take
any part in the discussion or decision OF English
or Scotch affairs. 1t is not expected that Cham
berlain will accept this as an adequate conces-
sion, because il raises the question of making an
organic change in the imperial parliament and
decides question which Gladstone promised
should remain open in favor OF the exclusion OF
the Irish members.
GLADSToNES SIGNIFICANT CIRCULAR
In the circular which he has issued TO the
members of the liberal party Gladstone says:
''It is proposed to hold a meeting at the foreign
office on Thursday, the 27th, at noon. OF all the
members OF the liberal party who are DESTROYS
while retaining full freedom all particulars
in the Irish government bill. to vote in favor of
the establishment of legislative body i'm Dub
lin for the management of affairs specifically
and exclusively Irish" 1t concludes by ur-
gently requesting the attendance OF .'such
members" The special significance of this is
Its decision who shall and who snail not be con-
sidered members OF the liberal party in the fn-
ture. 1t is in fact decree OF eNcom IN unication

L have frequently spoken of the breakup OF
the old liberal party. This Gladstonian circu-
lar is at last an official recognition of the fact
Two members of the cabinet have Just ex-
planned TO me the governments attitude about
clause "a in two excellent metaphors. The
first said: I'VE will not stick piece of paper
over the clause" The second said: I've will
not pull out the lynch pin and let the whole
carriage go 10 pieces" To-day the house of
commons meets at EPSON.

TON.

At meeting Of the Consistory OF
the Reformed church Of Mohawk,
held December %, the following min
ute was adopted:
In view of the request of our pss-
tor, the Rev. James EdmoRs1r, that
We unite with him in an application
to the Cl-ssis of Montgomery, for a
dissolution of the pastoral relation
ship.
Resolved, That We accede TO this re-
quest. but with sincere regret that,
owing to the feeble condition of his
health, a change of climate appears
to be not only desirable, but neces-
gary.
Resolsed, that we put on record cur
appreciation of the faithful service he
has rendered to this church during
the FIVE years Of his ministry among
us. and that we extend to him our
hearty congratulations on the pros
pect If usefulness and honor opening
before him, while we pray for Gods
blessing on his servant, in the new
field of labor to which he has been
called.
On January 4, the Chassis of Mont
gomery held a meeting in Mohawk,
when the Rev. Daniel Lord, N. d.,
read the folio wing paper, which was
adopted SIS the expression of the sen
timent OF the Chassis, in connection
with the dismissal of the Rev. James
Edmonson:
Resolved, That as Chassis, we have
consented to the dissolution of the
pastoral relationship between the Rev.
James Edmonson and the Reformed
church of Mohawk with reluctance
and regret; and have only yielded
under the consideration that q change
of labor is necessary to our brothers
