Special Cable Dispatch 10 THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, July 13.-I have just seen Mr..
Labouchere and Mr.. Schnadhorst. to whom 1
have had occasion to refer repeatedly as the
best informed politicians in England. The fol-
lowing summary of their views undoubtedly
represents the opinion OF the inner ministerial
circles: "The conservatives can't get majority;
therefore let Gladstone meet the house and let
us see what the unionists have to say. They are
not likely to vote no confidence in Gladstone.
Ihen we VIII have "A short session. vote the es-
Inmates, and then adjourn till next February
and produce a speech promising home rule i'm
vague terms, tacking on two three OF the
radicals points, upon which an appeal can be
made TO the country. The excuse for an appeal
can effectively and properly be that nobody is
in an absolute majority. There is no chance Of
Harrington becoming prime minister. Even
if Salisbury would let him take the chestnuts
the conservatives jealousies would prevent
him. Altogether the thing is unworkable, even
if harrington would enter a tory ministry"
PROSPECTS OF COALITION.
The Times declares strongly for a coalition
ministry led by Lord Harrington, saying that
Hartingtons leadership and a united national
party in the commons would secure even FROM
those who might elect Ia remain outside the
administration a kind and amount of assist
ance and cooperation which could not in the
an exclusively conservative ministry. The
Daily Ne,rS evidently fears this may be the
case and says: III harrington should succumb
to the temptations now offered MIN he would
formally and definitely sever himself 10y his
own act from the liberal party. Considering
his past career, remembering how much he has
lately said about the prospect of early re-
union, We must dismiss such an idea as TOO pre-
posterous to be seriously considered ON the
question of Gladstone S personal action the tory
view is moderately expressed 10y the .Std9adGrd.
which says: THE conservatives and liberal
test of the strength o. the parties in the COM
mons at this moment. There is no reason why
Gladstone should amy longer deny himself the
indu gence which his years and his services en-
title him to. The greatest blessing he can con-
fer on his party and country is to stand aside.
The days OF his usefulness to the liberalism OF
Ireland are past"

Twelve results were announced without lib
eral loss. II the liberals hold their own in the
remaining contests the parties in the house will

atives and 20 unionists.
