He VIII Try to Force the Hand of the Royal

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Herald's Lon
don special says; Gladstone seems to have
gone to work to form sensational minis
try, regardless of the various sections of
his supporters. who expected to get a
recognition of their claims. The old gang
are nearly all provided for, only
a sprinkling of new men being put in
with them to keep up appearances. Conse-
quently there is great heartburning, dis
content and rage in the Radical ranks. and
curses both loud and deep resound when
ever the new school OF home-rulers meet to
talk over the appointments.
Labouchere has been ignored, and all the
prominent Radicals who expected to be
invited to take Office are also left staring at
the stars. 1t is a Ministry OF disappolnt-
ment for the rank and file. Scarcely any,
body gets what he wanted, and those who
gel nothing are yowing vengeance on the
others.
There will be an incipient mutiny long be-
fore the regular session of Parliament
opens. But Gladstone has once more shown
his followers that he intends to be "boss,"
and at present he cares nothing for their
gr0ans and yells.
The Times London special says: La
bouchere tonight sent two paragraphs
distribution to the British press an
nouncing that he was slated for cabi-
net rank, but that the Queen strnck
his name out. and that this opposition was
avowedly based upon his fight against the
royal grants. 1t is probable these will elicit
certain comments in the Tory press upon
which Labby will be prompt to begin libel
suits and thus force the whole question Of
royal interference into the courts.

An International Locomotive Match.

A trial of speed between English and
American locomotives, which will set at
rest the conflicting claims of superiority
made by both countries. will be an interest
ing feature of the Worlds Fair. The
scheme has been broached by both the
Pennsylvania and New York Central CON-
panies, but no definite action has yet been
taken by either. 1t is not known which of
the great roads will undertake the contest.
The plan is to bring ever an English
locomotive Of the latest pattern, which
will burn English coal. with crew
who will speak with an English ac-
cent. The run will be made from
New York to Chicago and return. either
with heavy or light load, or possibly both.
The run west may be made with heavy
train, and the return with lighter one.
The American engine will carry the same
weight and 60 10y the same route, and the
palm will be awarded to the on e making the
run In the shortest time.
ln view OF the claim made by England that
she turns cut the best. fastest and most
economical locomotives in the world, no

more interest. Uncle Sam knows q little
