Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Jan. 29.-The rumors about the
queen refusing to summon Gladstone and ask
ing Lord Harrington to form a coalition minis
try are mere tory fiction, seduously propagated.
In any case, an attempt TO make the queen per-
sonally responsible would be entirely unconsti-
tutional. The outlook is still growing brighter.
A centripetal force is pulling the liberal party
together. Mr.. Chamberlain has completely
come round, and will be in the cabinet, and
support whatever line of action Gladstone
takes. Gladstone himself is extremely well
satisfied with all that has happened. He Ii
perfectly ready to take office and form a cabi-
net, AS usual, the queens absence from Lon
don causes great Inconvenience.
