LONDON, May 25th-3 P M.-The meeting
of the Cabinet to-day lasted an hour and
thirty minutes. A few minutes after ad-
journment, Gladstone started fer Windsor
Castle to see the Queen. 1t is rumored
that he will advise the Queen to immedi.
ately dissolve Parliament.

THE UPsHor OF THE CABINET MEETING.
LONDON, May 25th.-The upshot of to-
days meeting of the Cabinet is virtually a
move in the direction of a concession to
the disaiiected Liberals. Several of the
| Ministers urged that clause "a, of the home
| rule bill be eliminated. After a long dis
cussion, it was decided to leave the matter
| in Gladstone's hands, to deal with as he
might think fit. His mind was apparently
| quickly made up, for early in the evening
the Government whips were instructed to
summon the rank and file of the Liberal
party to general meeting on Thursday
when notifications of the home rule bill
will be announced, in order to preserve the
Government from defeat on its second
reading. Morley was alone in continuing
to oppose the elimination of clause u
from the home rule bill. The Harrington
section maintain their enmity to the bill
and will not attend the Liberal conference
The Ministers are confident that with the
accession of the 35 Radical dissenters and
the 'doubtfuls," " they will have majority
of 40. The bill will be dropped after the
second reading. 1t is probable that Parlia-
ment will be dissolved in the autumn.
DEBATE RESUMED.
LONDON, May 25th.-The home rule de-
bate was resumed in the House of Com
mons tonight.
The London Press on the Fisheries Dis
pute.
LONDON, May 25th.-The papers here are
taking great interest in the fisheries imbrog-
lio. The 81. james Gazette says: Gladstone
should be warned in time that the Cana
dlans are rather stubborn people, and
| that they have this affair very much at
| heart, and that they may conceivably take
| it into their own hands. Or even if thev
| feel that they must submit to sacrifices
| which we are sadly afraid will be arranged
| for them by the Home Government if the
Americans stifly persist, it is certain that
this enforced submission will be attended
by feeling of intense evaporation
The Globe says The danger of hostile
| collision between the United States and
Canada has been considerably increased
during the past forty-eight hours. 1t con-
cludes: The whole matter should be a sub
Ject for speedy and skillful diplomatic ar
rangement
