GLADSTONE WITH THE QUEEN.


 | Her Majesty Passes FavorabIy Upon His M1nistry-A Kick Among the Members Chosen By the old Man TEe Tories Sneering at the New Premier's Gallery Shots.
 LONDON, Feb. 1.-Mr. Gladstone left fol Osborne to-day, in obedience to the Queens summons. A large crowd cheered hin enthusiastically on his departure. The ole
 man seemed hale and hearty and pleasant smile lit up his face as he bowed repeatedly to the cheers. When he arrived at Portland
 an ovation awaited him, crowds at the rail
 way station and at the pier whence he em-
 parked for Osborne cheering him to the
 echo. In response to the repeated demands
 for speech the venerable ex-Premiel
 thanked the people for their demonstrations
 of affection and their hearty reception. He feelingly referred to his advanced age and expressed himself as certain that the re- mainder of his life would be of very short duration.
 An official dispatch from Osborne, re- ceived late this evening, states that MT. Gladstone, on arriving at Cowes, immedi- ately proceeded to Osborne house and was at once ushered into the presence of her majesty. After short consultation the Queen intrusted MT. Gladstone with the formation of new ministry. The dispatch further states that on receiving the Queens command to form a cabinet he bowed low and kissed her hand.
 Parliament met to day in pursuance with the recent adjournment, and without trans acting any business further adjourned to Thursday.
 Angry Tories sheer tonight at Mr. Glad stones pilgrimage to the Isle of Wight as "theatrical" They accuse the grand old man of trying to create sympathetic public opln- ion by 'tgallery shots," such as alluding in his speech at Portsmouth to his extreme age and the probable brevity of his remaining days. They say this means "make the most of me now, as it's the last chance you will get of having me for your prime minister. Don't nip my new career of power in the bud. :" On the other hand, the constant admirers of the Premier find in to-day's ovations new texts on which to base eulogies of their hero. A curious bit of gossip may be interesting in this connection as showing how politics are lntermlngied here with other affairs of life. It IS that the nublio atiou of Disraelis letters to his sister was made just at this time by reason of an express understanding between the Tory workers" and the literary executors ot the late antagonist of Gladstone. The object of course was to revive in the public mind the greatness of Dlsrael1 and to anord an opportunity of bringing up memories more or less unfavorable to Gladstone. Accord ingly the Tory journals have been made to I-Co and 1O1OiSpanGAS of the intellectual co1nbats between Gladstone and DisraeIi. or at least those in which the Tory chief came out triumphant. Even the ven erable iibe of Disraeli, that Mir. Gladstone was'' man of words rather than of thought" that he was ''inebrlated by the exuberance of his own verbos1ty, has been reproduced in these attempts to use the weanons of literature in 8 political warfare. Profound interest is shown as to what Mir. Gladstone will annoucne in Thursdays meeting of the House as the policy on which he will endeavor to stand before the country. On applying for the usual courtesy of admission as a member or the press your correspondent was lnIornea bv the officials that the applications for ad mission for Thursday night exceed even the number filed for the recent opening of Par lament, though of course the Queen will not be present as popular attraction Inns somewhat indicates the degree to which the present peculiar crisis has wrought upon the public curiosity.
 Mr. Gladstone returned to London this evening" While at Osborne he submitted to the Queen a draft of the ministry he intends to bring together and the names therein were favorably passed upon. It is stated, how ever, upon excellent authority that several of the gentlemen named by Mir. Gladstone are dissatisfied with the places assigned to them and will decline to serve in the capacities indicated by the original formula. It is there fore probable that the list will be con siderably modified, the substitute submitted as in the first instance to the Queen for her approval All sources of information agree in aseribing to this circumstance the reason for Mr. Gladstone's delay in officially making public full list of appointees to the new cabinet. MT. George J. Goschen. M. P. for the east division of Edinburgh, referring to-day to the vote of censure passed upon him by his constituents, defended his voting with the Tories upon the ground that he was elected to Parliament by the votes of the people who censure him with the distinct understanding on his part and theirs that he would oppose municipal socialism He further said that he had ad vocated certain of the principles vindicated by Mir Chamberlaine and others of his school he had reso1utely upheld and would continue to maintain at all hazards the principle that the union of Great Britain and Ireland should remain inviolate.
