LONDON, Aug. l9.-Mr. Gladstone's seleos
tion OF some minor members Of the radical
section for minor posts in the governments
has not remedisd the tactical mistake made
in the exclusion Of radical representatives
from the cabinet. Thorough radicals further
declare that there Is not a man among the
whole Of the latest appointments who is
genuinely attached to progressive opinions,
Sidney Buxton, perhaps. excepted. Three
new whips, Messrs Causton, Macarthur and
ellis, though nominal radicals, have
never shown that sympathy with demo.
cratic movements which Is now recognized
"a the leading inspiration of the left wing
OF the liberal party. The fact is now uni
versally recognized that Mr.. Gladstone has
carefully avoided admitting TO Office men
who are IN any wtss identified with inde-
pendent radicalism. Pseudo-radicals like
Mr.. Burt the miners delegate,
who Is submissive Gladstonian and
Mr.. Ellis. who is called
radical because he is strongly in favor
OF church disestablishmeDt, were admissible
because they have never made q covenants
with the progressive evangel, while those
tainted with democratic notions, men OF
the Labouchere stamp, have been ignored.
The exclusion of Mr.. Stansfeld Is explain cd
py Gladstonian papers as due TO his ex-
pressed desire not TO hold office, but Mr..
Stansteld himself says that 1t must have
been due TO other causes. Mr.. Stansfeld
was ready to accept office, and seemed 60

PREPARING FOR AN OVERTHROW.
Mr.. Gladstone's plans to meet some Of the
dangers threatening an early overthrow OF
the government are already seen In the
formation OF the cabinet committees At
to-day's cabinet council during two hours
sittinR devoted to allotting work and pre-
paring measures embodying the Newcastle
programme, three committees Ia addition to
the home rule committee were formed One
committee Is charged with labor questions,
another Is TO draft bills for rural reform and
local option and the third is charged with a
measure OF the first Importance, reforming
the electoral registration. With mastery
promptitudo the grand old man has already
cut out work for his colleagues that will
make the coming session fruitful
THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

interfere with the completed arrangements
for an international monetary conference.
No powers were vested In the delegates ap-
pointed by the conservative government to
assent to anything that might be proposed
at tbs conference without prior consulta-
tion with the treasury. The instructions
given the delegates are exactly similar to
those given the British delegates to tbs
Paris conference In 1881. They are charged
to decline 10 discuss any proposals entailing
an alteration OF the monetary system OF
England. but they are authorized to oon-
slider proposals whereby India might JOIN
an influential league OF states for fixing a
ratio OF silver. IL such league should be-
formed the directors of the Bank of England
would be empowered TO act on a bank ohar-
ter act permitting them to hold
oDe-fifth of their reserve in
silver. In official circles here the question
is asked whether these instructions are
likely TO lead to any such practical result as
will induce the United States governments
to proceed with the conference. Sir Will
lam Vernon Haroourt, new chancellor of
the exohequer, does not interest himself in
the matter, and if the Washington authori-
ties want TO enlarge the basis open to Brit
isb delegares for discussion they ought
TO try to influence Mr.. Gladstone, who has
an open mind on the subject, somewhat
modified by views formed since 1881.
DEFENSE OF THE EMPIRE.
The report OF the committee Of the Inn
perial Federation league. proposing scheme
for defense Of the United Kingdom and the
British colonies will be submittad 10 the
council Of the league IN November. After
approval OF the soheme Mr.. Gladstone will
be asked to summon a conference of oolo-
nial statesnent 20 discuss the scheme with
representatives OF the imperial government.
