LONDON, Feb. THE following additional ap
pointments have been made under the new ad-
ministration:
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Edward
Heneaee; Lord Chancellor of ireland. John
Naisb: Attorney general for Ireland Samuel
Walker; Solicitor general for Ireland The Nc
Dermott; Secretary to the Admiralty, John T.
Hibberts; Under Foreign Secretary, James
Bryce; Under Colonial Secretary, Geo. Osborn
Morgan; Under Secretary for India Sir U. K
Shuttlsworth; Under Secretary for the Home
Department, Henry Broadhurst
Mr.. Redmond, Nationalist member of Parlia-
ment, in a speech at Monahagen to-day, urged
Irishmen to restrain their violent feelings and
not to hamper the new government, which, he
said, would take immediate steps to stop
evictions.
The appointment Of Mr. Broadhurst as Under
Home Secretary has caused sensation in polit-
ical circles, that gentleman being the first work
ingman that has ever risen to the Ministry.
The appointment is taken as an indication that
it is Mr. Gladstone's intention to rely upon the
masses against the influence of the aristocracy.
The Liberal clubs are divided in opinion on the
subject, the Reform and Devonshire disapprov-
ing of the appointment, and the National Lib
eral enthusiastically approving it. The hostility
of the Wings to Mr.. Gladstone is intense. This
is shown in the difficulty experienced by the
Premier in filing the peeresses' posts in the
Queens household. The Duchesses of Bedford
and Westminster have refused appointments,
and others will follow their example.
The enemies of Mr.. Gladstone are now look

doubtless be improper to call the Queen an
enemy to Mr.. Gladstone, but that her Majesty
regards .his accession to the premiership as a
disaster is apparent from the effort made last

and Salisbury as Premier and Foreign Secretary,
and by the Queens firm declaration that she

The Irish party is becoming moro and more

years ago, and how they were BETRAYED by Yer

Hitherto, when the Liberals have recovered
power, they have soon turned round on their
Irish allies So, as in 1881 and 1882, the leaders
have for security only empty promises against
a recurrence. A passage in Mr.. Gladstones ad-
dress has not escaped attention 1t puts the
preservation of social order first in the list of
great Irish questions-the very thing done by
the late governments. This looks like a vague
threat OF coercion Another passage foreshad-
ows an attempt to hang up the entire question
of home rule for several months. 1t insists on a
preliminary examination and inquiry, but
makes no allusion to specific measures. This
confirms the conjecture that Mr.. Gladstone in

weeks or months. Meanwhile attempt will
be made to settle the land agitation, under the
belief that that being disposed of, Mr.. Parnelrs
power will be gone. 1t is thought that the Irish
laborers will withdraw from the Land League
once they have got all they want.
