BARON HoUGHToN. Viceroy of Ireland, with.

One Big Surprise in the List.
The announcement of the appointment of
Baron Houghton to the position of Viceroy
of Ireland was SO incredible that the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press made in
quiries about it, when he found that the
appointment had been made as announced.
Robert Ofley Ashburton Milnes, the second
Baron Houghton, was born January IL,
10 az of
age. He married in 1873 Sybel, daughter
of Sir Frederick Graham and granddaughter
of the Duke of Somerset His wife died in
1887, leaving three daughters Baron
Houghton has been q lord in waiting of the.
Queen. His father, the first Baron, who
died in 1885, was Monckton Mines, the
poet-politician.
Mr.. Gladstone yesterday visited the
Queen at Osborne House, to lay before her
the names Of those who will comprise the
Cabinet. He left Osborne House on his
way back to London at $50 this morning
As he drove to East Cowes, where the royal
yacht Alberta was awaiting to convey him
across the Solent, the road was lined with
people who had gathered to bid him fare
we'll He was greeted with cheers along
the route. A rain was falling, but this in
no way dampened the enthusiasm of the
crowd.
A Rough Trip Across the Sea.
Twenty minutes after leaving Osborne
House Mr.. Gladstone was on board the
Alberta, the lines were cast off and she was
stesming scfoss the Solent A choppy sea
was running and the yacht pitched quite
heavily, making the passage one of discom-
fort MI. Gladstone was conveyed to South
ampton, where he took the 11:20 train for
Waterloo station, London. He is enjoying
excellent health and shows no sign that his
trip caused him any fatigue.
The enthusiasm manifested at Waterloo
station and at various points along the route
of Mr.. Gladstone's journey was repeated
upon his return to-day. Everywhere, par
ticularly at Southampton and the Waterloo
station, he was surrounded BY q good
natured crowd, who heartily cheered him
and greeted him with cries of "Bravo,
William" 'tDrop it into them, old man.
The composition of the new Government
is s-cause of intense disappointment among
Radicals. Not q single man, except John
Morley, prominently identified with the
Radicals has been appointed a Cabinet
Minister, and srnong the ex-Cabinet posts
few members of the new set have any but
the remotest chance of getting place. The
old set are masters of the situation. Rep
resentatives of the old Whig families and
Liberal mediocrities having aristocratic
connections and never associated with ex-
treme views, have been Mr.. Gladstone's ex-
elusive choice. Even Mr. Stansfeld, who
in the last Gladstone Cabinet represented
democratic opinion, has been shelved.
Mr.. Bryce Is Possibility.
Report says that Mr. Bryce may yet come
in as First Commissioner of Works, with q
seat in the Cabinet, but this is only likely
to happen if Mr.. Gladstone finds the storm
of Radical indignation so overpowering as
to compel the appointment of Mr.. Bryce
The official list, when scanned tonight at
the National Liberal Club, awoke vehement
protests. The bulk of the members of
strong Radical tendencies turned from the
and anger. Was it for this undiluted list
of old men associated with traditions of
Whiggery, with SOME new recruits from the
territorial and aristocratic class, that Rad
icals had given their money and their time?
This WAS the general question, and the re-
sponsive prediction followed that such a
Government could not last three months
after Parliament resumed business.
Apart from Radical opinion, the Cabinet |
is really composed of eminently reputable |
men. Mr.. Gladstone has preferred col
lecting around him tried colleagues
accustomed to subordination and certain |
three new Cabinet Ministers, Messrs
Arnold Morley and Ac1and, are |
sound Liberals. Mr. Asquith alone is
slightly tainted with radicaiism, but he |
has legal mind with sucn a strong bias |
toward high Office as makes him malleable
On principles Arnold Morley is in every |
thing Gladstonian MI. Auland has potent |
old Whig family connections and is heir to
large estates
Labouchsre May Lead schism.
Probably Mr.. Gladstone will try to
strengthen his position by Offering minor
posts to Mr.. Stuart. the Radical leader of
the London County Council; Mr.. Hunter,
now the leader of Scotch Radicals; Mr..
Penn and others. Shaw Lefevre is likely
to get the Ministry of Agriculture; but
nothing Mr.. Gladstone can offer will pre-
vent the Radical leaders, immediately upon
The reassembling of Parliament from show.

Fortunate Ministerialists explain to-
night that the name of Labouchere was on
The list which Mr. Gladstone presented to
The Queen, but that Her Majesty
being irreconcilable, Mr.. Gladstone was
forced to erase the name. Mr.. Labouchere's
friends refuse to credit this statement, and
point to the omission OF other Radicals as
proving the hollowness of the excuse. The
open truth is that MI Gladstone detests
Mr. Labouchere, and the latter heartily re-
siprocates Nothing in Mr.. Labouchere's
political life is likely to cause him SO much
rejoicing as leading schism destroying the
Government He will have
lmple opportunity for this In the coming
'ession, when the irate Radicals refuse to
yratify Mr. Gladstone's passion for home
