WHAT WILL THE QUEEN Dor


Result Of q Significant Interview with the
Duke of DevoDshire.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, July 30.-Yery little confidence
IL placed In the statement that the Duke of
Devonshire told Queen Victoria that she
would have to abdicate che throne or
make terms with Mr.. Gladstone. However,
it is known that the Queen did have an
earnest and important interview with the
nobieman. whom she holds in high regard,
and whom she would fain make Premier If
he were willing, and the country would be
willing to accept him. The Queen, it is re-
ported oD good authority, sent for the Duke
70 discuss with him the formation of
O Cabinet that would be as little obiec-
tionable as possible to her Tory notions,
for her Majesty regards home rule as only
one step short of absolute treason, and its
promoters as enemies to the throne. The
Duke found her Majesty Iaboring under
greater emotion than he had ever seen her
display. After the usual courteous formal
tiles the Queen asked the Duke abruptly
whether there were any way to avoid
sending for Mr.. Gladstone. Her Majesty
added. in substance:
ITO Mr.. Gladstone, personally, / have no
objection, but do object to the separation
of my Kingdoms. to which understand he
has pledged himself"
The Duke replied most courteously that
it must be understood that while he him
self deeply regretted the course taken by
Mr.. Gladstone, which had compelled him to
leave that gentlemen's side heartily to
strive for the maintenance of the union,
yet the majority of the House of Commons
favorable to Mr. Gladstones views must
be recognized. The Duke Is also reported
to have said In reply TO Her Majesty that
there was but one alternative for her to
adopt: She must either call upon Mr..
Gladstone to form Ministry or must abdi-
cate the throne.
Her Majesty said no more on that partic-
ular subject. The Queen. however, has
continued to make no concealment of her
antipathy TO Mr.. Gladstone, as the home
rule champion. and it is believed that she
will yet place some obstruction In the
way of home rule if one can be devised.
MIR. Gladstone who arrived in London on
Wednesday. Is suffering from q slight cold
and IL coz tined TO his bed. Though his at
tending physician has ordered that Mr..
Gladstone shall not be allowed to arise, he
announces that his condition Is not at all
serious. This morning Mr.. Arnold Morley
was admitted to Mr.. Gladstone's room, and
had long conversation with him. Mrs.
Gladstone was seen to-day. and in reply to
inquiries regarding Mr.. GladstOne's all
only from slight cold in the head, which
was due to the prevailing east wind. She
added that she hoped to see him perfectly
we'll tomorrow. Mrs. Gladstone has no
the guests to-day at the wedding of Mr..
Victor Cavendish and the daughter of Mar
quis of LaDsdowne. She assured all In
quirers that there was little the matter
n a n N
Mr.. Gladstone's attack of illness has not
proved so serious as was anticipated, but
the alarm which 1t caused has not quite
abated. The suddenness with which the
attack came on is the most alarming
feature and apprehension 10 expressed that
it may be the beginning of series of at
tacks of n similar character that may sap
away the wonderful vigor of Mr.. Gladstone
at q time when he Is imperatively needed
TO carry Irish home rule through to sue
cess. 1t would take all of Mr.. Gladstone's
wonderful influence to hold the majority
together for him and the fear that home
rule will be shelved is growing, and il Is
becoming doubtful if even Mr.. Gladstone
can hold some of his supporters to vote for
home rule. The labor candidates are de-
manding that labor questions shall be Civ
en- precedence, ana 1t Is said that fully sew
enty-five Liberals. outside of the labor
ranks. are in favor of shelving home rule.

In response to the inquiries of the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, who
called again at 9:45 clock tonight. at the
dwelling in Carlton H0use terrace occu-
pied by Mr.. Gladstone, Mrs. Gladstone
said that her husband was better; that he
had, in fact. improved so much that she
could safely say that he was now in his
usual state of health. Mrs. Gladstone ex-
pressed the hope that no needless fuss be
made in regard &c Mr.. Glad
stones indisposition. The fact OF
the matter, she declared, was that
her husband had been advised by his phys 81.
clan to remain indoors for q day so. He
has been so little disturbed about his all
ment that be had been receiving q small
circle of visitors, and had been transacting
certain business although he was keeping
himself confined to the seclusion of his
bedroom. Mrs. Gladstone further sald thar
