complete list of the next Cabinet to sub
init to the Queen; but IN pursuance OF
constitutional usage, he maintains a0so-
lutte silence on the proposed appointments.
1t has been impossible to conceal the az
rangements made for Sir William Vernon
Hoycourt at the ExcheQueI, and tor
MN John Morley a. Irish secre-
tary, but Mr.. Gladstone's intentions
REGARDING other Ministers are not
known, even TO some defnltely-ap-
pointed members OF his ministry. lie
has received numbers of aspirants tor OF:
tice aad has discussed the composition OK
the Cabinet with his chief advisers WITH
out definitely communicating to anyone
his final selections. Being punctilious
observer of official precedent he will not
formally offer place TO any one until ne
has actually received the Queens CON-
mgnds to form ministry.
SOME POSSIBLE APPOINTMENTS.
surmises are rife regarding the new min
| istorial combination. Among the most
striking reports finding credence IN official
| legal quarters - one To the effect that
l. I'd Herschel will become Governor-CTen-
| eral of India; that Lord Chlei-Justlce
/ G6ieridge will become Lord Chancellor,
aud that Sir Charles Russell will become
/ Lord Chief Justice. Lord Herscheps trans

royalty Of India, would be incredible

/ country IN view of the critical position OF
/ Jndiau-Russian relations. UNTIL Tuesday,
when Mr. Gladstone returns from Osborne
I House. the exact composition OF the Cabl-
I net will remain unknown.
THE QUEENS PERPLExrTY.
! The Queen will have an unusually OK
1 citing time during her conference with
I Mr. Gladstone over the nominations. 1he
names Of the old group re-enterlng the
I Cabinet she knows. but most of the new
I set she breads knowing. 1t is known IN
/ Court circles that 1t is the fear regarding
, the gfrsOal of tho Gladstone ministry
that mainly induced the Queen 70 consult
the Duke Of Dsvonshire during his visit to
Osborne House, just concluded, as TO
! whether il was possible for him 10
reunite with Mr.. Gladstone and
sEeeten tie Liberal ministry by taking
Office himself Another source OF the
Queens disquietude is the change IN the
royal household appointments inevitable
on Mr.. GadstOne's accession TO power.
! While the Liberal ranks included the
| old Whig families, changes IN the royal
household mattered little to the Queen.
One duchess succeeded another as Mistress
Of the Robes, and Ladies OF the Bed
Chamber could easily be recruited from
the Wing aristocracy. But now Mr.. Glad
stone has small choice, and will find 1t ex-
ceedingly difficult to get personages agree
able to the Queen to fill tho great Court
offices.
PARLIAMENT NEXT THURSDAY.
The House of Commons will resume
business on Thursday next, mainly to
issue writs for the reelection Of Ministers.
Most of the members of the House have
already left town and intend not TO re-
turn till the opening of the session IN
January. Neither Mr.. Gladstone nor his
leading colleagues will appear IN the
House Thursday. The necessary official
announcements will be made in their be-
half by the senior member OF the new
government. who is not required TO be re-
