LONDON, Aug. 10.-Mr. Gladstone to-day
received a communication from General Sir
Henry f. Ponsonby, Private Secretary to
. the Queen, announcing that ARRANGEMENTS
are being made for his reception on Friday
at Osborne House, the Queens residence on
the Isle of Wight, whittier Mr.. Gladstone
will proceed in response to a summons from
Her Majesty. The object of the Queen in
summoning Mr.. Gladstone to Osborne
House is TO entrust to him the formation of
new Government.
Lord Salisbury is expected at Osborne
House tomorrow to tender the resignation
ton bv the House of Commons of the mo
confidence amendment to the address in
reply to the Queens speech.
Hon. Edward Blake, formerly Premier of
Ontario, who was elected in the recent CAM
paign to represent South Longford in Par
lament, addressed meeting Of the Home
Rule Union Of London tonight. He spoke
in the same general manner as he did dur
ing the speech which he delivered at the
Eighty Club dinner, given in his honor
Thursday.
An Eve TO uture
He pointed out the necessity of continued
work in order to capture all possible bye
elections for the home rule cause. Viewed
in the light of a curious tendency to equal
itv in popular opinion, he said, the Liberal
majority is a substantial one. Conserva-
tive advocates of unity had analyzed and
cut the majority into sections, declaring
the majority had emensted from Ire
land, and therefore did not count. Would
they have said that if the circumstances
had been reversed and Ireland had declared
against home rule?
The Liberals must be prepared for ex-
aggerated accounts of Irish outrages in the
Tory papers That was part of their game.
If the Protestants in the various parts of
Ireland were to combine-he hoped they
would not-theF could get what terms
they liked from either side of the divided
majority. He recommended to them an al
together different policy, namely, to ban
ish for ever from the arena all religious
questions and to join hands with the Cath
olics and discuss Ineligible differences of
opinion instead of the character of their
creeds or the color of their hair
Democracy Put to the Test.
Doubtless there would be blunders and
friction in inaugurating the new regime in
lreland-bearlngs would get heated, pipes
burst and steam escape-but that would
soon be overcome.
He did not idealize democracy. He be-
lieves it is being put to the severest test as
to whether it would be able to use its new
power with wisdom, self-restraint and dis
cernment, but ne hopes il will be
equal to the task. The characteristics
of the English nation are steadiness
in resolution and energy in action-to ad-
vance slowly and never to retreat There
fore, English reforms are durable and
blessed. Let them advance, and soon the
dawn now visible would blaze into the
perfect sunshine of the blessed day of
reconciliation for joyful and regenerated
and sham, but the strength, the pride and
the glory of the United Kingdom.
When Mr. Blake had concluded his ad-
dress he was greeted with long prolonged
cheers
