LBy Telegraph to the Evening Journall
LoNDo,, Aug. 16-Contrary to the
popular impression, but not to the i'm
preston of those who know best the
feelings of her majesty, Mr. Gladstone
had warm reception at Osborne. Al
though Queen Victoria does not like Mr..
Gladstones politics, she has the respect
of a veteran for veteran and is known
to be grateful to Mr.. Gladstone for the
tact and success with which he has often
/ intervened TO protect the royal family
from radical assaults in parliament
Her Majesty talked with Mr. Gladstone
/ for half an hour in private. OF their
conversation of course nothing has been
revealed All that has reached the pub
lie from the royal precincts is that Lord
! Salisbury himself was never treated more
cordially. This attitude of the Queen
toward the Liberal leader is commented
on cynically by Keir Hardie and others
of his stamp, who seem to think Mr.
Gladstone should have forgotten that he
was a gentleman and the Queen lady.
The conversation between Mr.. Gladstone
and the Queen took place in the royal
drawing room with no one present but
themselves
Mr.. Gladstone left Osborne on his
return at 10 o'clock this morning At
Cowes great throng of spectators was
assembled and they cheered the new pre-
mier over and over again, it being
noticeable that henchmen of the royal
household were Just as demonstrative as
the rest of the people. Yesterday they
were little reserved, but the news of
Mr.. Gladstone's favorable reception has
got abroad and the dependents of loyal
ty took their cue from the Queen.
At Southampton it seemed as if the
whole city had poured out TO meet Mr..
Gladstone. and as the royal yacht ap-
2 preached, carrying him 10 the landing
place, the cheers of the people were audi
i BILE far out on the waves Mr. Gladstone,
, his face beaming with satisfaction, bowed
, repeatedly in response. 1t was evident
! from the appearance of the premier that
his interview with the Queen had been
!. satisfactory.
= On his way back to London, Mr.. Glad
\ stone received another great ovation at
! Basingstoke. The crowd was different
from that at southampton. They were
q mostly country people assembled from
;. far and near. 1t was peculiar gather
. ing, including substantial farmers il
I broadcloth and ordinary workmen and
yokels in their yellow frocks. Ther'
:. was notable absence of the squires, the
most conservative element, and still
bitterly antagonistic as a rule to tn
= Liberal leader.
y y The agricultural laborers cheere
heartily and struggled to get glimps
of the man who had given them tn
right to vote and TO whom they nov
looked for some share in the acres the
q and their ancestors had cultivated. MI

popular enthusiasm and devotion. 4

Is news of the pleasant interview betwee

a caused much satisfaction in this cit
OF and scared financiers are getting oy'
their Generalization The general in
preston is that Mr. Gladstone has sati
fed her Majesty that the interests of IL

Nv protected, and that there will be I
Ell weakening in the foreign relations

&c the integrity of the empire is concerne
"A 1t is known that Queen Victoria's gre
III wish and ambition is to hand down Il
m empire intact to her successor and thi
ne she is throughly opposed TO any poh'
ne that would mean the alienation of az
~ part of it, Therefore the public bell
re is that Mr. Gladstone has entirely r
assured her Majesty upon that point al
business men say that if the Queen
satisfied they ought to be.
