ClADsToNE's RETIREMENT suc-
CESTeD,

New York, Oct 30th. The Posts
London special says: The sug-
gestion of the correspondent in the
Duly Nescs that Gladstone should
be asked to retire from the leader
ship of the Liberal party has pro-
voked storm of replies, indignant
ly repudiating such an unwise and
ungrateful course. Gladstone has
clearly indicated that his share in
politics is to be confined strictly to
the Irish question. 1t is well known
to the best informed persons here
that the actual leaders of the party
will be John Morley and Lord Har-
court. Morley's speech at Leeds
will be of the greatest import as out
lining the Liberal policy OF the i'm
mediate future. He has been en-
gagged in its preparation for some
time. w. II. Smith, Minister of
War, Churchill's old enemy, in
speaking last night gave remarkable
support to Churchilrs recent pro-
gramme. 1t would not surprise his
audience, he said, to hear that Her
Majesty's Government was perfect
ly agreed. When Churchill spoke
he did so with the full knowledge,
assent and consent of all his col
leagues in the Cabinet. When they
ceased to be united they would
cease to remain in the Government.

LORD SALlSBURY'S SPEECH.

London, November 9th.-Lord
Salisbury at the Lord Mayors BAN
quet said the Government was en-
couraged by the growing proofs of
advancing prosperity in Egypt.
Her finances were more promising
than they had ever been, although
they had not reached point that
would enable her Government to
declare its task fulfilled. Further,
England could not leave Egypt
until the latter's independence of
foreign interference had been Sc
cured.
Referring to Bulgaria, Lord Sails
bury said the sympathies of the
English people were aroused by the
spectacle of struggle for indepen-
dence and that the language of dip
lomatic menace used toward Bull
garia by Europe had caused the
deepest regret. The injustice of
the deed was aggravated by foreign
diplomacy having conspirators, an
act of interference which caused
earnest reprobation throughout
Europe. Bulgarian rights were as
sured by the Berlin Treaty on which
the salvation of Europe depended.
The English interest in that treaty
was not an isolated interest. Other
powers also were interested in vim
dication of the treaty. He was sure
that if the majority of the signatory
powers recognized the fact that it
was their duty to enforce the treaty,
England would not be found back
ward in cooperating with them. He
trusted that peace would not be dis
turbed and that under the influence
of public opinion the infant liberties
of Bulgaria would not be impaired.
