THE CABINET TO RESIGN.
A MESSENGER SENT TO NOTIFY
THE QUEEN.

bury 60 Acquatnt the Country with his
Intended Irish Policy.
LONDON, Jan. 27.-The defeat Of the
government last night has left all politi-
cal parties i'll the House of Commons in
state of chaos, and may result in a disso-
luton of Parliament and an appeal to the
country.
Mr.. Gladstone held a conference this
afternoon with Lord Granville in relation
to the resumption OF Office by the Liberals.
The Marquis OF Salisbury will have an
interview to-day with Mr.. w. Ii. Smi tn,
who was yesterday sworn in as Chief
Secretary for Ireland.
The meeting of the Cabinet will also be
held to-day, after which the Ministers will
proceed to Osborne to place their resigna-
tions in the hands OF the Queen.
The crisis eXcites but little interest
with the general public. Everything is
quiet, and the commercial and financial
markets are but slightly weaker.
A CABINET MEETING.
The meeting of the Cabinet to-day lasted
an hour. The situation was fully dis
cussed, and it was resolved that the Min
listers should at once resign. The Mar
quis of Salisbury sent "A special messen-
ger to Osborne to inform the Queen of the
QSClSlOu VI Inc AuDluel.
HARRINGTON AND GosCHEN.
The Poll NaU Gazette, commenting on
the fact that the official record shows that
Harrington and GOschen, both Liberals,
voted with the government in the divi-
sion last night on Ceilings land allot-
ment amendment, and declares thattheir
desertion OF the Liberals In the division
completely disbars the Queen from en-
trusting either Of them with the work OF
forming new ministry. The Gazette fur
Their says that Harrington may possibly
return to private lie. The Conservatives
rely upon dissensions in the Liberal
ranks to prevent Gladstone from forming
"A durable Cabinet. Mrs. Gladstone to-day
took letter from MIR. Gladstone TO Lord
Harrington.
soMBRE COINCIDENCE.
The Gazette, in its leading ed torial, points
out as a sOmbre coincidence the fact that
the Salisbury Cabinet fell on the anniver-
sary OF the death of Gen. Gordon, who
was killed at KhartOum Jan. 70, 1855.
Continuing, the Gdzette says: "Mr. Par
nell cOnfTOnts the country as modern
Warwick, being king maker in reality.
n. The retiring ministry, however.
deserves ungrudgIng praise, as no recent
government with SO brief career had
such a creditable record. The MARQUIS
OF Salisbury's foreign policy has not been
marked by single blunder. Lord Ran
dOlph Churchill was made a steady and
sober politician by the responsibility or
holding office. The Earl of Carnarvon,
Lord Lieut.. of Ireland under difficult con-
ditiOns, did better than any other Viceroy
OF Ireland. 1t Is evident the Liberals do
not monopollze the requirements for
craftsmanship"
sPECULATING ON NEW MINISTRY.
,I..ts. Al. n
new Ministry the Gazette SAYS a strong one
could be formed by Mr.. Gladstone if he
would take into it such men as Chamber
lain, Morley, Sprostan Game, Reginald
Brett, Sir George Russell, Lord ROsebery.
Lord Harrington and Mr.. Parnell. Lord
ROsebery, the Gazette thinks. should be
made Colonial Secretary and Harrington.
Foreign Secretary, in place of Lord Derby
and Lord Granville. who filled those offices
respectively in the last Gladstone Cabi-
net, and VINO, together with the Earl of
Kimberly, formerly Liberal Secretary for
India, should, the Gazette maintains, be
excluded from any future Government
the Liberals may be called upon 10 form.
Mr.. Parnell, the paper continues. will
in any event he virtually Chief Secretary
for Ireland, and he might as well be taken
into the Cabinet first as last. In conclu-
sion, the Gazette saws that il Mr.. Glad
suggested, he will secure for himself the
prospect of "A strong and stable govern
ment.
PARNELL TO OVERTHROW GLADSTONE.
The Globe Conservative this evening
says il is rumoTed that Mr.. Parnell has
resolved TO use the home rule vote to over
throw Mr.. Gladstone in the first OpportU-
nifty that presents itself should the Liber-
ais assume power. Mr.. PaTnelI will do
this, according 10 rumOr, for the purpose
OF exhibiting To the Irish abroad his pow
er in Parliament in order to stimulate do
nations 10 the Parncllite treasury which
was nearly drained by the recent elections.
The Globe il authority for the statement
that Mr. Gladstone's new Cabinet will
probably be mainly Radical, and that il
will Introduce measures OF English and
Irish land policy designed TO settle the
Irish question without cOnceding home
rule in any form. Ia this way Mr.. Glad
stone hopes, the GiObe says, to retain the
support of both the Radicals aud the Par
nellites.
Lord Salisbury is anxious to acquaint
the country with the nature Of the Irish
policy he intended 10 pursue il he had re-
NAMED in power, and will probably take
occasion 20 make some settlement In the
House Of Lords tomorrow, which will
give him an opportunity To unfold his In
tended treatment Of the Irish question.
PARNELL SHOULD BE IN THE CABINET.
LONDON, Jan. %, A.M.-.rhe Standard
this morning says that Lord Salisbury and
SIR Michael Hicks-Beach will announce
in Parliament to-day the resignation Of
tho government.
The Dgtig telegraph says IL is the opin-
ion OF leading Liberals, including many
former ministers, that Mr.. Gladstone
should invite the assistance OfMr. Parnell
or Dir. Healy in arranging the home rule
scheme for Ireland.
