Gladstone Will Certainly Come Into
Office at Once.
GRAVE TROUBLE IN STORE FOR HIM.
The Home Rule Bill Will De Pushed. and the
Queen Is Relied Upon to Support th,
Lords in Opposition.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

LONDON, July 11.-There is content tment
and repoSe about Liberal circles tonight.
Although not achieving the success they
anticipated. they feel that there will GER
tainly be some majority, and the assured
prospect of office has soothing influence
and groups of the National Club now dis
cuss the constitution of the Gladstone Min
istry.
The home rule bill will be expedited i'm
mediately and the House of Lords will be
challenged under the menace Of extinction
II 1t throws the act out. The temper of the
Liberals plainly points to fierce agitation
against the House of Lords should the
home rule bill be carried by the Commons,
even by an insignificant majority. and then
rejected by the Lords. The Gladstonian
whip, Arnold Morley. speaking at Mans
field to-day, said that if the Lords were fool
ish enough to run counter to the vote of the
House of Commons they would either be
mended or ended.
No prominent member OF either side has
yet yentured to allude to the power behind
the Lords. rarely exercising its constitu-
tlOnai right to interfere, yet known to be
ready 10 repel Gladstone e he endeavors to
alter the constitution of the Upper House
without an express mandate from a decisive
know that they can absolutely rely upon
the Queen to support the Lords in rejecting
the home rule bill as passed by any ajori-
tY Gladstone can now obtain.
Gladstone Will fud the opening of his
trouble with the Queen if he offers a pos.
to LabOuchere, aud yet the Radicals hold
that Gladstone has pledged a place to him.
Ii LaboueEere does not get office he will be
a thorn in the side of the Liberal Ministry,
and nothing is more certain than that the

a section of the Liberals oppose the re-
election of Speaker Peel. and unless Glad
stone sits on the project there will be hot
party contest for the speakerShip.
Arrangements have been make to give the
defeated Minister, Ritchie, a seat, by giving
Gain sf0rd Bruce, the new member for Hol-
born, vacant judgeship.
TIE election in the counties, though not
fulfilling the most sanguine Liberal eXpecta-
tions. gives them confidence of having such
a majority as will oblige Lord Salisbury to
place his resignation in the hands Of the
Queen as soon as Parliament assemblies. Ac-
cOrding to Liberal estimate, the highest con-
ceivable majority is 9S and the lowest 45. The
OFFICIALS of the Liberal Executive Committee
tonight admit that it will be unexpected
good luck If they appear in tile House with
60 ma sj0rity.
At midnight the total returns showed that
the Conservatives had elected 1913 berS,
Liberal UnIonists q aud the PaTnelites 8.
Conservative papers concur in conceding
that Gladstone will have a small majority in
the next Parliament. enabling him to force
the Government to resign. but offering no
guarantee that the Liberals will be able to
carry on business.
An exciting scene occurred at Liberal
meeting in the Forest of Dean division of
Gloucester, where Sir Charles Dixie is
standing as a Liberal candidate against
Colchester WemysS. A resolution was Of
fered declaring against Sir Charles, and
adding that the electors of the district de-
sired only man of high moral character to
represent them in Parliament. The wife OF
Sir Charles was on the platform when the
resolution was put and wept bitterly. There
was great excitement during the voting,
which was heightened when it was declared
the resolution was carried. The friends of
Sir Charles demanded a recount and this
was done. only TO confirm the previous re-
suit
Lord Salisbury has gone to Windsor Cas-
tle to explain TO the Queen the political
situation.
