MT. Gladstone viii Form o Ministry a
Old and Tried Men.

London says:
Mr.. Gladstone will return to London at the
end Of next week. He has accepted IN invita-
ton to temporarily reside at the house of Mr..
Stuart Rendel, the member-elect for Mont
gomeryshire, ct Carlton Gardens, prior to re-
Stunning his official residence in Downing street.
His first conference on the formation Of the
new ministry occurred at Dalmeny Park, the
residence Of Lord Rosebery. Before he started
for Braemer he summoned Mr.. John Morley to
meet Lord Rosebery and the Right Hon. Sir
George o. Trevelyan. As far as can be ascer-
tanned in official liberal quarters here the de-
liberation at Dalmeny Park proceeded on the
understandings set forth in this letter las,
week. that is to cay, Sir William Vernon Har-
court will be first lord of the treasury and gov.
eminent leader in the house Of commons under
Mr.. Gladstone's direction, and that Henry
Fowler will be chancellor Of the exchequer.
Mr.. John Morley does not desire to be chief
secretary for Ireland. He wants the secretary
ship Of the colonial Office, but influential pres
sure has been brought to bear on Mr.. Glad
stone to appoint Mr.. James Bryce colonial Sec
rotary, as he is in, closer touch with colonial
questions than Mr.. Morley.
FORECASTS OF THE MINISTRY.
The best informed liberal forecasts of the
ministry assign Lord Herschell to the lord
chancellorship, Earl Spencer to the viceoryship
of Ireland, the Right Hon. Geo. Shaw-Lefevre
to the chief secretaryship OF Ireland, the Right
Hon. George o. Irevelyan to the secretaryship
Of the home Office, the Right Hon. Henry
Campbell Bannock to the secretaryship Of state
for war, Lord Ripon to the first lordship Of the
admiralty, Mr.. John Morley to the secretary
ship for India, Mr.. James Bryce to the secre-
taryship of the colonies, Lord Rosebery to the

Kimberly to the presidency of the council and
the Right Hon. A. ]. Mundella to the presi-
dency Of the board Of trade, while Mr.. Glad
stone will take the sinecure Of the chancellor
ship Of the Duchy Of Lancaster. These consti-
tute the cabinet. The leading posts GU tside the
cabinet are assigned as follows: Mr. Francis NJ.
| Charming as president of the board of agricul-
ture, Mr.. Sydney c. Buxton as president Of the
local government board, Mr.. Henry Labouchere
as postmaster general, Mr.. William A. Hunter
as secretary for Scotland, Sir Charles Russell az
attorney general and Mr.. Rigby as solicitor
general.
When Sir Charles Russells carly elevation to
the bench occurs he will be succeeded in the
attorney generalship by Mr.. Rigby. and Mr.
Herbert H. Aisquith will become solicitor gen.
eral.
The radical press puts forward Messrs Benin,
Stuart and Canston, three favorites with the
London progrcssives, as entitled to office.
Other aspirants are Mr.. Dyke Aclnnd and Sir
Walter Foster and Mr.. Burt, who, probably as
the best representative of the liberal laborists
will fill the place of MIR. Broadhurst. the under
secretary in the home Office in the last Glad
stone ministry.
TO IGNORE THE RADICAL CLAMoR.
Mr.. Gladstone will no. attempt to satisfy the
radical clamor to give new places to new men.
He has an abiding tendency to group around
himself tried colleagues. Beyond accepting the
hal In, Tho, 1o,- Ia, -
probable that he will CO. The most important
change in the inner administration of the party
will be clean sweep Of the whip Offices. The
present whips, Arnold Morley and Cyril Flower
will receive peeraRes. Herbert Gladstone will
become chief whip. The Right Hon. Edward
position Of secretary for Scotland, but he is too
useful in his present capacity. A ministry thus
composed would give the radicals fair share
OF the places, though short of their demands.
Among the chief court officers Countess
Spencer will be mistress of the robes the Earl
OF Cork. master of horse, and Lord Darlington,
lord chamberlain.
THE MINISTERIAL PROGRAM.
In deciding the ministerial program Mr..
GladstOne's main difficulty is the depletion of
the party finances The present elections have
almost exhausted the party resources. Lord
Brassey and other Of the larger subscribers q
next year as they have this; yet if homo rule
bill is Immediately forced through the house OF
commons dissolution in the spring is inevitable
Hence the party managers favor postponing the
home rule bill for a year and proceeding with
the lone man-one-vote" bill and also with fur
Their democrGtizing Of the rural vote by parish
councils and compulsory allotments measures.
| Herbert Gladstone. speaking at Hawarden,
declared that the home rule bill must first be
passed, and added that as the temperance ques-
ton had cost the liberals many votes a bill
| giving the people direct veto would come
| next. Herbert Gladstone is not always faith
| full reflex Of his fathers plans; STILL if Mr.
Gladstone gets assurance of financial arrange
ments sufficient for an early renewal of the
election struggle the home rule bill will be in.
PRODUCED without delay.
The new house will have 1877 members
| pledged to direct veto and Sunday closing-the
strongest temperance party parliament has
ever seen. Mr.. Woods, member for the Incc
Division Of Lancashire, joins the independent
liberals. Mr.. Hardie, in an interview today,
defined the laborists as socialists in economics
and democrats in politics, and in no wise con-
nected with liberals or tories. He asserts that
an organization is being formed and funds are
being collected to run 200 labor candidates in
Great Britain at the next election, ard that they
will utterly rout the liberals unless the marty
managers assent to mold legislation on the
lines Of socialism in the meantime This bluff

RoTHsCHILDs REPRESENTATION.
The Jewish contingent elected to parliament
remains the same as in the last parliament.
They still belong to one financial set and one
family. All Of the seven Jewish members of the
house Of commons are related to the Rothschilds
Baron Henry de Worms, Sir Julian Goldsmith
Mr.. Stern and Mr.. Cohen are cousins. Mr..
Montagu is brother-in-law of Mr.. Cohen and
Mr.. Icons wife is a cousin Of the others.
THE PITTsBURG LABOR TROUBLES.
The labor struggle in Pittsburg is watched
with excited interest here-especially among the
working classes. The ardent sympathes of the
trade unionists are with the strikers Last even
ing's meeting Of the London trades council
voted urgency for a resolution, which was
unanimously passed, protesting against Mr.:
Carnegie's employing "a gang Of irresponsible
armed DULLES to cOerce men struggling against
q reduction Of wages" and satisfaction was ex-
pressed that the men had been able to defeat the
tactics of their employers.
Ono prominent member suggested that II Mr..
Carnegie was still member Of the National
Liberal Club he ought TO be Immediately kicked
out The leading workmens organization de-
plores the action Of the Aberdeen corporation
in comforting the freedom Of the city upon Mr..
Carnegie and expressed regret that American
capitalists have power ITO use gang Of ruffians
