LONDON, Aug. 15.-Mr. Gladstone's
trip to Osborne was like triumphal
progress. The stations Ell route were
crowded and OvationS were rendered
the Liberal leader everywhere. Among
the crowds were hundreds of workmen,
with their wives and children. Mr..
Gladstone was greatly cheered, and
shouts of congratulation were general.
Good luck to you" "Gladdy, you look
well" and other homely greetings were
plentiful.
At Petersfeld there were droves of
children arrayed in white, who threw
flowers in Mr.. Gladstone's car. At Ports
mouth the Liberal club met their leader
in body. and hundreds of WOrkmen
at the government docks left their tasks
and Joined the cheering throng. A SIM
liar scene was witnessed at CoweS,
where the royal carriage awaited Mr..
GladstOne'S arrival. Mr.. Gladstone sent
kilograms to his wife from every station
along the route informing her of his
health and progress. After dining with
the queen Mr.. Gladstone slept at Os-
borne, as usual OH such occasions.
Mr.. Gladstone will take the Office of
privy seal, as we'll as that of first lord of
the treasury. Lord Brassey will be
viceroy of Ireland.
The great subject of discussion con-
tinues TO be the reported difference be-
tween Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Rose
berry. There is no certainty as yet that
Lord Roseberry will enter the cabinet.
1t is certain that, if he is not put in
charge of foreign affairs, the Liberal
cause will be greatly weakened. The
Tories are ardently hoping that
there is a breach, as reported,
between Mr.. Gladstone and the man
who has been one of his closest friends
and who was his host during the Mid
lothian campaign. The point of differ
ence between the two is said to be the
evacuation OF Egypt. Lord ROseberry
considers the retention of Egypt indis-
penSible to the security of Great Brit
aims possessions In the East, and he is
rather inclined to strengthen than to
weaken British hold,npon that country.
Notwithstanding the difference it is
reported today that Lord RoSeDerry will
take the foreign office and disappOint
the Tories in their expectation of being
able to raise jing0 cry against Mr..
Gladstone. 1t is rumored, also, that Mr..
Gladstone means to have thorough
ministration in India. and that,
in addition to home rule for
Ireland, he may formulate scheme of
national government for India, resem-
bling in certain leading characteristics
the constitution of Gelnany, the people
of the various states and possessions
being represented in an Indian paria-
ment, with the sovereign of Great
Britain as empress or emperor, and the
dignities, estates and emoluments of
native princes being interfered wiCli as
little as possible.
RipOrn,s Position.
The Marquis of Ripon, who is said to
be booked for the Indian office, is SAID
to be fully in sympathy with the liberal
views of Mr.. Gladstone, and it is assured
that the advent of Ripon means many
important reforms. Lord Kimberly will
probably be appointed secretary of the
colonial office. He is noted for his
suavity OF manner and has always
favored the most amicable way of get
ting out of dispute. 1t is said that
Lord Kimberly has not altogether
approved the Course of the late
government in Behring sea, and
he is even reported to have de-
clared that the controversy had been
too aggressiveiy conducted on the part
Vi GrtdI DTltdlll. MI. ulduSlOIlc, III Is
stated, obtained the views Of the Scot
tish Liberal members in regard to the
selection of a secretary of state for
Scotland. and that the general verdict
was in favor of Prof. James Brice. Rt.
Hon. John Morley will, beyond any
doubt. be chief secretary for Ireland,
and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, chan
cnllor of the eXchequer. Sir William, it
is said, was offered and declined the
home office.
Salisbury Quits.
In the house of lords today Lord Sal
isbury formally announced that, in con-
sequence of the vote in the house of
commons on Mr.. Asquith's no conf
dence amendment to the address in
reply to the queens speech, the govern
ment had rendered it's resigna-
ton to the queen. and that
her majesty had accepted it.
After making this announcement
Lord Salisbury asked the intentions of
the incoming ministry. The Earl OF
Kimberly replied that he was sorry he
was unable to give Lord Salisbury any
information. The earl added that he
was not yet a minister. He could say
nothing until he had consulted his col
Leagues The house adjourned until
