ENGLISH ELECTIONS
The Liberals Win q Victory
Over the Conservatives.
A NEW CABINET TO BE FORMED
ParnelPs Strength in Ireland Gone-Saiisbury
Makes Overtures to the Watermelon
gregatiOnalists and Baptists.

Unless he improves he will withdraw from
public life wholly On taking the peerage.
The Duke Of Rutland, who has long been
an invalid, will also retire. Matthews,
home secretary will get judgeship. The
lew cabinet, with Chamberlain, Gorst and
Harrington as members who will add q
further Liberal element to the government
Legislation, must have time to settle into
working conference before risking a disso-
luton of parliament.
