He has accepted an invitation to temporarily
reside in the house of Stuart Rendel, thu
member-elect for Montgomeryshire at Carl
ton Gardens prior tc resuming his official
residence in Downing street
His conference on the formation of the
new Ministry occurred at Dalmeny Park
the residence of Lord Roseberry. Before he
started for Braemar he summoned John
Morley to meet Lord Roeeberry and the Rt,
Hon. Sir George O. Trevelyan. As far as
can be sscertained in official and Liberal
quarters here, the deliberations at Dalmeny
Park proceeded on the understanding set
forth ia this letter last week-that is to say,
Sir William Vernon Harcourt will be First
Lord of the Treasury and Government
leader in the House of Commons under Mr..
Gladstone's direction, and that Henry
Fowler will be Chancellor of the Ex.
chequer.
The Distribution of the Offices.
John Morley does not desire 20 be Chief
Secretary for ireland. He wants the Secre-
taryship Of the Colonial Office, but infuen-
tial pressure has been brought to bear on
Mr.. Gladstone to appoint James Bryce
Colonial Secretary, as he is in closer touch
with colonial questions than Mr.. Morley.
The best informed Liberal forecasts of the
Ministry assign Lord Herschell to the Lord
Chancellorship Earl Spencer to the Vice
rovship of ireland; the Rt Hon. George
Shaw lie Fevre TO the Chief Secretaryship
of Ireland; the Rt. Hon. George o. Travelyan
TO the Secretaryship of the Home Office;
the Right Hon. Henry Campbell Banner
man to the Secretaryship of State for War;
Lord Ripon to the First Lordship of the
Admiralty; John Morley to the Secretary
ship for India; James Bryce to the
Rosebery to the Secretaryship of
the Foreign Office; the Earl of
Kimberly to the President of the Council,
and the Right Hon. A. J. Mundella to the
Presidency of the Board of Trade, while
Mr.. Gladstone will take the sinecure
of the Chancellorship of the Duchy of
Lancaster These constitute the Cabinet.
The Posts of Secondary Importancs.
The leading posts outside Cabinet are as
signed as follows: Francis A. Charming,
President of the Local Government
Board; Henry La5ouchere, Post
master General; William A. Hunter,
Secretary for Scotland: Sir Charles Russell,
Attorney General; Mr.. Rigby, Solicitor
General. When Sir Charles Russell's early
elevation to the bench occurs, he will be
succeeded in the Attorney Generalship by
Mr. RiCby, and Herbert Asquith will be-
come Solicitor General
The Radical press puts forward Messrs
Benn, Stuart and Canston. the favorites
with London Progressives, as entitled to Of
fee Other aspirants are DYKE, Acland,
Sir Walter Foster and Mr. Burt, who prob
ably is the best representative of the Lib
eral Laborists and will fill the place of Mr..
Broadhurst, the Under Secretary of the
Home Office in the last Gladstone Ministry.
Mr.. Gladstone will not attempt to satisfy
the Radical ciamor to give new places to
new men. He has an abiding tendency to
group around himself tried colleagues
Beyond accepting the half-dozen new men
in the above list it is not probable that he
will 60.
The hip Service to Be Reorsanizad.
The most important change in the inner
administration of the party will be clean
sweep of whip Offices. The present
whips, Arnold, Morley and Cyril
Flower. will receive peerages Her.
bert Gladstone will become chief whip.
The Right Hon. Edward Marjprbanks will
vacate his Whipship for the position of
Secretary for Scotland, but he is too useful
in his present capacity. A Ministry thus
composed would give the Radicals a 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.
In deciding the Ministerial programme
MI. Gladstone's main difficulty is the de-
pletion Of the party finances The
present elections have almost ex-
hausted the partv's resources Lord
Brassey and others of the larger subscribers
TO election fund cannot be relied upon to
give next wear as they have this; yet if
home rule bill is Immediately forced through
the House of Commons, dissolution in
spring is inevitable. Hence the party man.
ayers favor postponing the home rule bill
for year and proceed with the zone man
one vote" measure; also further democrat
izing the rural vote by parish councils and
compulsory allotments measures.
Herbert G adstone on Liberal Plans.
Herbert Gladstone, speaking at Hawarden,
declared that the home rule bill must first
be passed. and that as the temperance ques-
tion has cost Liberal votes, bill giving the
people direct veto would come next. Her
bert Gladstone is not always a faithful
reflex of his fathers plans, still, if Mr..
Gladstone gets assurance of financial ar
rangements sufficient for an early renewal
of the election Struggle, the home rule bill
will Re introduced without delay
The new House will have 167 members
pledged . direct veto and Sunday closing

the policy or spirits of the Liberal Execu-

The Hebrew contingent elected to Psrlia-

ment They still belong to one financial
set and to one family. All of the seven He

are related to the Rothschilds.
English Interest in the Pittsburr Fight
The labor struggle in Pittsburg is watched
with excited interest here, and especially
among the working classes The ardent
sympathies of the trade unionists are
with the strikers. Last evenings

unanimously passed, protesting against Mr.
Carnegie's employing "a gang of irresponsi-
