THE NEXT PREMIER

Harrington is Mentioned.

Special to the Globe.
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Lord Salisbury is at
the Osborne house this evening, comforting
with her majesty. 1t is believed that the
question of issuing royal wrts for new
election will be considered in this
conference. If her majesty is con-
vinced that fresh appeal to the people
will result in an increase of the Conserva-
tive strength, there is no doubt that she will
take this step rather than perform the hate
full ceremony of sending for Mr.. Gladstone
andasking him to form ministry. Her
repugnance to Gladstone, which at first was
hardly more than part of her instructive
dislike for Liberal people and principles.
seems in late years to have strengthened
into personal dislike for the man who is
associated in her thought and feeling
with the defeat which clouded the last days
of her favorite statesman and almost idol
lied friend. Disraeli, to whose political
audacity she owes her title of Empress of
India. But if she is advised by Lord Sails
bury that in an election following so close
upon the defeat of the Conservatives
THE MORAL EFFECT
of that defeat will favor the Liberals. it is
thought likely that she will yield to the in
evitable and summon Mr.. Gladstone. 1t is
hardly possible that any other man among
the Liberals would consent to undertake the
formation of a government, even if asked to
do SO by the queen. The former occasion,
some years ago, when Lord Harrington
essayed the task, differed in many respects
from the present one. Certain measures
championed by Mr.. Gladstone had then
been discredited, and there was at least
the shadow of an excuse for ignor-
ing his natural claims to leadership.
But he is now in the position of having
Just led a victorious movement and though
the queen may allow personal feeling to in
fuence her and summon another statesman,
it will be remarkable thing if the one
called on will venture so far i'm disregard of
precedent and traditional courtesy as to at
tempt to lead the Liberal party while its
acknowledged chief remains in subordina-
ton. Upon Lord Salisbury's return to
London tomorrow the decision reached by
the queen may be known officially, but the
official statement of her plans will not be
made in its entirety until the house reas-
sembles Oh Monday. Both Mr.. Gladstone

the cabinet had resigned. The house there
upon adjourned until Monday. Mr.. Glad
stone will probably be summoned to form
cabinet. Lord Harrington refuses to CO
operate with Mr.. Gladstone. 1t is reported
in the lobby of the house of commons this
evening that the queen is sounding LORD
Harrington as to his willingness to under
take the task of forming coalition minis
try. The Times urges, in view OF the gen
eral opposition to permitting Lord Gran
vile to resume the Office of minister of for
