Childers, Home Secretary; Sir VIM.
Vernon Harcourt, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and Mr.. Mundella, presi.
dent Of the Board of Trade, are, it is
said as much opposed as ever to the
feature which surrender control OF the
customs in Ireland. As Mr.. Glad
stone remains firm, the Ministers, ru-
NOR says, will resign.
SIR II. PoNsoSBY,
private secretary of the Queen, was
sent by her Majesty this afternoon TO
confer on her behalf with LordHarting-
ton, the leader of the Wings in the
House of Commons. The interview
lasted a long time. Afterwards the
| Marquis of Salisbury had a long pri-
vate conferen c with Lord Harrington.
THE LIBERAL OPPONENTS
of Mr.. Gladstone's Irish policy are
steadily increasing their strength and
are doing everything within their
power TO bring about coalition be-
tween themselves and the Conserva-
tives under Liberal leader. Lord
Harrington is at present the only
available man who would be accepta-
BILE to tn Tory part of the coalition.
MR.. GLADSTONE WILL MODIFY HIS PRO-
PosAIS.
1t was stated in the lobby of the
House of Commons this evening that
Messrs. Mundella and Childers had
resigned their seats in the Cabinet. 1t
was expected that Messrs. Fowler,
Heneage and Broadhurst would Sc
cede from the government Thursday.
The consensus of opinion was that the
present government was doomed. The
latest informal on, however, is that
the Cabinet feud has temporarily
abated. Mr.. Gladstone modifies his
proposals regarding customs con-
troll by giving the English Par
lament the right to veto all
fiscal enactments of Ireland providing
that an imperial receiver shall collect
customs and excise, and making i'm
perial claims the first charges on the
revenues. The malcontents conse-
quently withheld their designations.
r. Gladstone is thoroughly supported
in all his proposals by Earl Granville,
Earl Rnsebery, the Marquis of Rpon
and Mr.. Campbell Bannerman. Sir
Farrer hershell does not partic-
ipate in the discussion on home
rule, but he upholds the pro-
posed land bill, and has relieved
Mr.. Gladstone OF drafting the latter
scheme. Mr.. G G'adstone is in robust
health and good voice and is confident
OF success On Thursday Nr. Cham
berIain will speak after Mr. Gladstone
and Lord Harrington will move to ad-
journ. 1t is reported that Lord Sails
bury has persuaded Lord Harrington
to move that the House refuse to con-
slider Mr.. Gladstone's bill.
A GLOWING TRIBUTE TO THR LATE MR..
FORSTER.
Mr. Gladstone paid a glowing tribute
to the late Wu. l.. Foster, in the
Hou of Commons this evening. He
spoke of the universal and deep regret
that is felt in the loss of so worthy
man, and said that Mr.. Forster had
been one of the most distinguished
members of the House. He was a
man worthy to be remembered, both
on account of his public acts and his
personal character. He had earned a
high place as a legislator through
carrying with great ability, two meas
ures of high importance and complex
ity. These were the education and
the ballot acts. Mr.. Forster, said the
Premier, was a man of unhinc ing
courage. Though lover of peace, he
was profoundly a tached to the well
fare and greatness of his country and
was acutely sensible to whatever per-
tained to its honor.
When Mr.. Gladstone had finished,
Sir Nichael Hicks-Beach, the Con-
servative leader in the House, arose
and said: After the eloquent eulogy
of Mr.. Forster Just delivered, l can
only add that the Conservatives cor
daily sympathize in the tribute that
has been paid to his memory. We
feel that the nation has lost man Of
high ourage, great ability anG sincere
devotion to his country" The last
words uttered by Mr.. Forster before
his death yesterday were, "No home
rule"
AN EFFORT TO PREVENT DISRUPTION.
The Times says that desperate eff
fort was made at yesterdays meet g
OF the Cabinet TO prevent disruption,
and that the effort succeeded. Mr..
Gladstone consented to eliminate the
proposal to yield control of the Gus
toms t. the Irish Parliament.
WILL ABANDON WAR PREPARATIONS.
A dispatch from Athens to the Daily
Teleyrdph says that the King of Greece
and his ministers have decided to
abandon the war preparations, as
Prince Alexander has yielded to the
powers.
TIE HOME OFFICE
will cease to offer rewards for the de-
lection of criminals or pardons to ac-
completes who may make confessions,
on the ground that the principle in
Volved is wrong and that experience
shows that such course almost in
variably fails of its object.
TIE BIRMIEGHAM CAUCUS
has issued circular requesting the
various branches of the Liberal fedora
ton to prepare for an early meeting
in London to fully discuss Mr.. Glad
stones Irish proposals.
T. Birmingham Post fays il is au-
thorized TO deny the statement that
Mr.. Chamberlain is treating with the
Conservatives with view Of forming
coalition. Mr.. Chamberlain, the
paper says, will join no coalition which
has for its object the displacement Of
Mr. Gladstone, for whose genius he
has an unabated respect. Until ne
sees how Mr. Gladstone has modified
his scheme, Mr.. Chamberlain will be
unable to decide whether TO support
or on what points to oppose him.
The Poz also!ssys that. ia deierence
to Lord Hsrtiu2t0H's decree TO follow
Mr. Gladstone, Mr.. Chamberlain will
probably not sneak in the House until
