THE NEW CABINET.
Copyright, 1891. by the ~ Y. associated Press)
LONDON, Aug. IL. MIR. Gladstone will go
TO Osborne house Monday with complete
list of the next cabinet 70 submit to the
queen, but in pursuance of constitutional
usage he maintains absolute silence on the
proposed appointments. IL has been i'm
possible TO conceal the arrangements
made for Sir William Vernon Har-
court at the exchequer and for
John Morley as Irish secretary, but Mr..
Gladstone's intentions regarding the other
ministers are unknown, even TO some
definitely appointed members of his min
istry. Ho he's received numbers of aspirants
for Office aud has discussed the composition
OF the cabinet with his chief advisers with
ont definitely com municatlng to any one his
final selections. Being punctillious OBJ
server Of official precedent he will not
formally offer place TO any one until he
has actually received the queens commands
to form a ministry.
Surmises are rife regarding the new min
isterial combinations. Among the most
striking reports finding credence in official-
legal quarters Is one TO the effect that Lord
Herschel will become governor general OF
India that Lord Chief Justice Coleridge will
become lord chancellor and that Sir Charles
Russell will become lord chief Justice. Lord
Herschel's trnnsference from the bench to
the tremendous political responsibilities of
the viceroyalty OF India would be incred1-
BILE but for the known fact that he has long
desired to be prominent figure
in the political arena. He has
the highest opinion. of his own qualities as
an administraror, and If the report be ac-
ourAte, he must have convinced Mr.. Glad
stone of his worth, but his appointment
will cause shudder of apprehension
throughout the country in view Of the
critical position of Indian-Russiau rela-
tions. Until Tuesday, when Mr.. Glad
stone returns from Osborne house,
tho exact composition of the cabinet
will remain unknown. The queen will
have an unusually exciting time during her
conferences with Mr.. Gladstone over the
nominations The names of the old group
re-entering the cabinet she knows. but
most of the new set she breads knowing.
FEARS OF THE QUEEN.
1t is known in the court circle that it is
fear regarding the personnel Of the Glad,
stone ministry that mainly induced the
queen to consult the Duke of Devonshire
during his visit to Osborne house, just con-
cluded, as to whether it was pos
sible for him to reunite with
Mr.. Gladstone and sweeten the liberal
ministry by taking Office himself An
other source OF Che queens disquietude is
the change in the royal household appoint
ments inevitable on Mr.. Gladstone's acces-
sion to power While the liberal ranks in
cluded the old whig families changes in the
royal household mattered little TO the
queen, one duchess succeeded another as
mistress OF the robes, and the
ladies of the bed chamber could easily be
recruited from the whig arissocraoy. But
now Mr.. Gladstone has small choice and
will find 1t exceedingly difficult TO get per-
sonages agreeable to the queen to I'LL the
great court offices.
The House OF Commons will resume busi-
ness on Thursday next, mainly to issue
writs for the reelection OF the ministers.
Most OF the mem bers of the house have al
ready left town and intend not TO return
till the opening Of the session 10 January.
Neither Mr.. Gladstone nor his leading col-
leagues will appear in the house on Thurs
day. The necessary official announcements
will be made in their behalf by the senior
member of the new government, who Is
not required to be reelected. The proro-
cation of parliament Is expected TO take
place on Aug. 22.
GLADSroNE's TRIUMPH PARNELL's
The Pail Mall Gazette 1iberaD says:
"Mr. Gladstones triumph is Mr.. Parnelps
also. Twenty years ago Mr.. Parnell had
not even entered parliament. Before he
died he had converted nine out OF ten Irish
men against revolutionary methods. The
effect OF the division is irrevocable. Dill
culties and delays in home rule there may
be, but its final adoption is now inevitable"
The 81. James OU1eLLe iCODSeTVhbANoI,
under the caption of "Leaping Into Dark
ness, !" says: "The government was elected
by a majority simply going it blind for the
Grand Old Man and half understood idea.
II disaster results In increased taxation,
malignant chickering's with France, dis
graceful retreat from Egypt, an open
breach with Russia in Central Asia and
other outrages and rioting in Ireland the
country has itself to thank.
THE SCENE IN TIE HOUSE.
The Daily Ne,Os. describing the scene In
parliament yesterday, says: Members
rowded the galleries, sat in pairs on the
steps of the gangway, swarmed around the
speakers chair and stood in a dense throng
at the bar. 1t was magnificent audience,
and Mr.. Chamberlain played upon IL with
the skill of q master of parliamentary debate
He commenced his speech in quiet man
ner Referring TO Mr.. Healys action at the
adjournment of the house Tuesday, In the
gentlest tones, he said he noted that
whenever it was desired TO exhibit discour-
tesy toward any manor to any woman,
he added, after significant pause. Mr..
Healy presents himself To accomplish it
The house was hugely delighted at Mr..
Chamberlain's pun-that Mr.. Labouchere
be called upon 70 reconcile the interests OF
the cabinet with the intei ests Of Truth.
MIR. Chamberlains peroration was delivered
with more appearance Of passion than he
usually permits himself to show.

Messrs Bright aud Villiers were apostate,
