LONDON, Jan. 3O.-Lord Salisbury's gov
eminent have paid the penalty Of their fall
tering Irish policy. The belief is genera
that they would still be in Office if they had
announced in the queens speech the meas
ures which they announced in the
house on Tuesday. The Liberals made
good use of the interval. Party
spirit ran daily higher. The Liberal lead
ers down to Monday were anxiously con-
irving means TO prevent the carrying of
Ceilings amendment The knowledge
that the ministry had Resolved TO produce
new Irish measures without waiting
for Smiths report changed their
plans. There was some danger that
the house would support the government
The feeling about the lawleSs condition of
Ireland was strong enough to secure large
vote for the bill to restore a reign of law.
The government. if beaten in the house,
could appeal to the country as champions of
imperial unity. They would fall in
the endeavor to maintain public order in
Ireland. Hence the Liberals determine to
turn them out on a minor issue. 4 truce
was patched up between Gladstone and
Chamberlain. Ceilings amendment eX-
pressed regret that the queens speech
promised no relief to agricultural labor and
offered no facilities for acquiring allot-
ments and
SMALL HOLDINGS
of land. This is parliamentary language
for three acres and a cow" The passage
of the amendment would redeem innumer-
able electoral promises and confirm Hedges
loyalty to the Liberal party. Glad
stone denounced during the campaign sim
liar proposals, but accepted this. IL now
became, as Goschen Teproaehfully and
Chamberlain eXulting, said, part of the au-
thOrized Liberal program. Before the de-
bate began Sir Michael Hicks-Beach an
nounced that the government would on
Thursday introduce a bill to suppress
the National league. stop bovcotting, and
protect life and property in Ireland. He
endeavored vainly to postpone the decisive
vote till those measures should be before
the house. The Liberals refused to
loosen their grip on their
enemies threat. Gladstone's speech
secured adhesion of the rank and
file of the party. Goschen's protest passed
nheeded. Lord Harrington separated him
self, perhaps finally. from Gladstone. Some
Liberals voted with him against Col
lings' amendment Many more alb
stained from the decision, but
the amendment was carried by a
majority of ninety-seven. The Parnellites
voted solidly against the government The
victory is theirs. A summons reached Glad
stone late last night, and he goes TO Osborne
on Monday. Gen. P0nsonby. private sec
rotary to the queen, presented to Mr.. Glad
stone
HER MAJEsTY's MANDATE
at 1890 o'clock this morning. The secre-
tary and Mr.. Gladstone had consultation
which lasted half an hour. The Parnell-
ties fear that Mr.. Gladstone II be com
PEELED TO form compromise cabinet.
Mr.. Gladstone had conferences this
evening with several prominent
Liberals 1t has transpired that Gen.
Pousonby called upon the Marquis of Sails
bury before visiting Mr.. Gladstone. and has
since consulted with Lord Harrington and
Others. The Standard learns that Lord
Harrington will be member OF the new
ministry. Chamberlain month since had
resolved never 10 acquiesce in
home rule and never again 10
serve under Gladstone but having con-
verted the Liberal leader to his agrarian
policy and got rid of the Wings the Radical
leader Is content to resume his place under
the red umbrella. Goschen's alb
sentation is certain. Sir Henry James
absentation is probable. Lord Spencer.
Trevelyan and Lord Derby are doubtful
The only strong members Of the old cabinet
who are certain to join the next cabinet are
Lord Granville Chamberlain. Sir William
Harcourt Lord Roseberry and Sir Charles
Dixie. If the trial next week results favorabiy
efforts will be made to enlist the support of
the Moderates by avoiding a definite pro-
posal for home rule. Gladstone, like
Disraeli. will educate his party, and ex-
plain 10 Parnell that the process of CONVEX
sion requires time. Only few weeks have
elapsed since the whole country was pro-
nounced against home rule. 1t is hoped
