LONDON, July 23.-THE TRIBUNE repre-
sentative had to-day conversation with leading men,
ber OF the Liberal Unonist party who authorizes tho
positive assertion that the LIBERAL nionsts over
whelmngly object to any coalition with the Con-
seryativcs In the way OF o new administration. The
feeling among them is general that the Irish question
will be out OF practical politics by the disappear
ance Of personal enthusiasm for Mr. Gladstone and by
giving Lord Salisbury pledge OF qualified support
upon the irish question we'll upon tho measures
Of foreign policy initiated by him and adopted during
Mr.. Glsdstones administration by Lord Roscbery.

concerning Russia's action in Batum was conceived In
the spirit of Lord salisburys policy and is hkey when
made to provoke the opposition OF the extreme
Radical and even Mr. Gladstone himself.
But beyond these questions looms up the prospect OF
new measures affecting the domestic policy OF Great
Britain in which Liberal -Unonists cannot be expected
TO support Lord Salisbury unless he Is prepared
10 forego the traditions OF the Conservative
party This refers especially to tho question OF
church establishment agitated already by such
leading Liberal .Unionists ALERT Grey, late member
for Tynside who failed to fulfil his promise of planting
the Red above the Green In that ancient. borough
but who is nevertheless taxing lead in bis party. I Is
said by OF the inner circle that in order TO cover his
recent Mr. Gladstone Is preparing TO move on the
church establishment with all the vgor he is master of
and should the Conservatives adopt Lord Carnarvons
Mr.. Gladstone may spring the Anglican Church discs
tsbshment upon them at ary moment. IN such event
the Liberal Unonists would find it difficult TO chime In
with the strong ecoles!astica preudces and sympathies
of Lord Salisbury.
