ExGLAND,s POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Indications That a Crisis VIII BE Precip-
itateI

Indications That a Crisis Will BE Precip-
itated Early.
LONDON, July l7.-All the cabinet min
listers have been summoned to London for
Thursday next Mr.. Balfour arriving in
town yesterday, proceeded to HatsicLd house
to see Lord Sails bury. The latter went to
Windsor to meet the duke of Dsvonshire,
VINO has oeen staying at the castle for some
time. Here he held d conference with her
majesty and returned to London this even
ing, accompanied by the duke of Devonshire
1t is expected that some developments of an
unwonted character are impending. y
number Of members of the Carleton CLUB
came INTO town TO-DAY TO watch events. Tae
political clubs are crowded.
A rumor is rife that the Carleton club msn
state that section of the cabinet want Lord
Salisbury to resign forthwith in order TO
force Mr.. Gladstone to meet the House of
Commons with full disclosure of his home
rule aud general policy ana so precipltate
tue crisis. The liberal leaders are prepared
to take office Immediately or await the de-
feat of the government on the amendment
to the address. No tactics that the present
government can adopt will force tho hand of
MIR. Gladstone. If Lord Sails oury
does not await formal vote of eX-
pulsion the liberal government policy
as outlined in the queens speech, can be
so couched as to reveal nothing that the con-
servatives 40 not already know. If the con-
servatiyes rely upon forcing Mr.. Gladstone
TO declare himself fully on the debate to the
amendme MT, that depends on his pleasure
The course that Mr.. Gladstone adopts Will
not in the slightest be Influenced by the
views of the opposition, out rather directed
TO battle them.
A conference of Mr.. Gladstone and his COL
leagues Is expected TO take place on Thurs
day. The difficulties of WORKING the mouse
with a majority dependent upon. tue Irish
members are 1ulIy appreciated at the liberal
headquarters. Amongst the troubles men
aClng the new government is the habit the
Irish members have OF irregular attendance
Many of them have had business affairs IN
ireland to look after hitherto and ou!v ap-
peared in the house when they were sum
rnoned there by the eXigencv Of lflsh affairs.
Tne special business flushed, they vanish
again. IL this practice Is continued under
the new government. the absence of some
forty Irish members will render the govern
ment liable 10 defeat al any moment.
Pdruell kept his men together when the
party purse was full by personal payments at
regular intervals. TIE liberals might have
recourse to subsIdzng the McCarthyites,
but this would place the party under oo.iga-
tions which it is almost impossible To accept
If the American subscriptions freely con-
tinue during the final crisis the home rule
party will be wonderfully siren gthened. All
sides recognize the fact that the present
elections. costing as tfey have, about -, 500-
600, are only the prelude 10 a more decisive
electoral campaign when more money must
be expended and the local organizations
everywhere must be maintained in
full vigor. The resources of the union
lists are iueXhaustible as compared
with those Of the liberals, though since last
reverting TO the financial position OF the
party the Associated Press cores pOndent
has learned that assurances have been OBJ
tanned by the liberal executive that wealthy
Gladstouians are ready TO respond 10 d9
mands.
Regarding the coming crisis in parliament
a month must clapse before the actual busi-
ness of the house begins. The swearing in
Of members takes a fortnight, then the
election of speaker and the chairman of the
committees proceeds, involving possibly
debate, and next comes tie dis
IN reply 10 the speech from the
throne. If this is followed by a
change Of government, Mr.. Gladstone may
take a fortnight to form the new ministry
The liberals thus calculate that IL will be
October before the new government can be
depended upon TO present 10 parliament IT'S
program. The import of this aud the est-
mate of progress is that il is probable that
Mr.. Gladstone VIII not begin the work of
legislation in the winter session, but will
postpone 1t until next spring.
A section OF the conservatives cherish the
GeIuslon that LORD sails bury, stll holding a
majority Of the British votes, can refuse 70
resign until another appea! has been made 10
lne country. some lOIN papers sS"h 10 ueuN
that such a course woulG be uncoastitu-
tioual, though the bulk of them admit that
the government must yacate office on the
first adverse vote.
An analysis OF the latest returns show the
value Of the British vote on which the con-
ssrvatives now rely as the bulwark for the
rejection OF home rule The number Of mem
bers thus far returned is Gj2. This leaves
only eighteen results yet uudeclared. Eug-
land has sent 23i conservatives, 1913 liberals,
including mem bers OF the laOor party, thirty
unionists and one McCarthyite, tO'COnnor).
Scotland sends eleven conservatives, fifty
liberals and ten uulOnists. Wales sends two
conservatives ana twenty-siX liberals, and
Ireland seventeen conservatives, i've union
lists. siXty-tour Mccarthy ties ana nine Par
nellites. The opposition combined thus ag
gregate 3i2 aud the uuicnists $40.
As changes are unlikely the new parlia-
ment will consist Of 35j Gladstouians and
3lJ unionists. The total number OF unionists
returned By Great Britain is ZJ9 and the
total Giadstouians 275, including tomorrow 5
results IN toe eighteen remaining districts.
when Great Britain shows a clear ma
i0rity for home rule, says the unioBists'
press, 'It viii come. team never be carried
by Irish votes, and especially While these
votes are twenty IN excess Of their proper
tionate number according 70 the relative
population OF the countries"
The total num0e OF votes recorded up 10
