MONETARY CONFERENCE DELEGATES

LONDON, Aug. 12.-Mr. Gladstone will
60 to Osborne House Monday with COM
plete list of the next Cabinet to submit to
the Queen but in pursuance of constitu-
tional usage, be maintains absolute silence
on the proposed appointments
1t has been impossible to conceal the ar
rangements made for Sir William Vernon
Harcourt at the Exchequer and for John
stones intentions regarding other Minis
tiers are not known, even to some diff
nitely appointed members of his Minis
try. He has received scores of as
pirants for Office and has discussed
the composition of the Cabinet with his
chief advisers without definitely communi-
eating to anyone his final selections Being
punctilious observer of official precedent,
he will not formally offer place to anyone
until he has actually received the Queens
commands to form Ministry. Surmises
are rife regarding the new ministerial CON-
binationS
Guessing the Cabinets Composition.
Among the most striking reports finding
credence in official legal quarters is one
that Lord Herschell 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 Herschell's transference from the
bench to the tremendous political RESPONSE
bilities of the vice royalty of India would be
incredible 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 admin
istrator, and, if the report be accurate, he
must have convinced Mr.. Gladstone of his
worth; but his appointment will cause
shudder of apprehension throughout the
country in view of the critical position of
Indian Russian relations Until Tuesday,
when Mr.. Gladstone returns from Osborne
House, the exact composition of the Cabi-
net will remain unknown.
Salisbury Goes to Meet the Queen.
At o'clock this afternoon Lord Sails |
bury left London on a special train for |
Portsmouth, whence he will embark for the |
Isle of Wight His destination is Osborne |
House, where he will tender 10 the Queen
the resignation of the Conservative Min
istry. The members of the Cabinet met at
noon to-day and formally agreed to resign.
Most of the Ministers will leave town to-
day.
Mr.. Gladstone has been saved one iourney
to Osborne House, the Queen having ar
ranged to convey her commands to him to
form a Ministry by her private secretary,
Mr.. Gladstone will, however, go to Osborne
House on Monday to fulfil the usual
custom of kissing the hand of Her Majesty
General Ponsonby visited Mr. Gladstone

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.
Victoria Anxious for Her Household,
1t is known in the court circle that it rs
fear regarding the personnel of the Glad
'tone ministry that mainly induced the |
Queen to consult the Duke of Devonshire
Turing his visit to Osborne House, inst |
as to whether it was possible for
lim to reunite with Mr. Gladstone and
weeten the Liberal ministry by taking
Dfice himself ,
Another source of the Queens disouie- |
ude is the change in the royal household ap- ,
'ointments inevitable on Mr.. Gladstone's
anks included the old Whig families.
hanges in the royal household mattered i
title to the Queen. One Duchess succeeded I
mother as Mistress of the Robes, and Ladies ,
f the Bed Chamber could easily be re- c
ruited from the Whig aristocracy; but
ow Mr.. Gladstone has small choice and
ill find it exceedingly difficult to get per-
onages agreeable to the Queen to fill the ,
reat court Offices

gard to the personnel of the English rep- N
sentatives, the Associated Press CORE z
ondent to-day heard the opinion of prom m
ent currency expert. ts
Mr.. Currie, the MonometaIlist
Mr. Currie, according to this authority. is
e strongest man appointed. He has no >,
ndency whatever toward bimetallism; on
e contrary, he is sound for single stand W
d. Mr. Currie is man of great financial bl
ility generally, and is a leading member tn
the banking firm of Glynn, Mills, Currie W
Co., besides being member of the Coun- ps
of India He initiated the Barring Broth
J settlement with the Bank of England,
is otherwise known among financiers
q man of hrst-rate capacity. But his ap- te
intment has special significance for the sp
nerican Government, as meaning that his ws
iuence will overrule any inclination of Sh
co-delegates toward an arrangement sat-
wing America.
)f the other delegates, Sir G. W. FIRE.
ntle is monometallist, Sir w. H. n,
and General Strachey are =
netallists and Mr.. Murray, who is a ~ IN
,asury clerk, is neutral. The members ~ ~
the conference will have a pleasant time ap
but will effect little.
