His Proud Moment.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-Gladstone will go
to Osborne house Monday with a com
plete list of the next cabinet to submit
to the queen, but, in pursuance of con-
stltutional usage, he maintains an abso,-
lutte silence concerning the proposed ap-
| pointments. 1t is impossible to conceal
| the fact that arrangements have been
| made for Sir William Vernon Harcourt
as chancellor of the exchequer and for
John Morley as Irish secretary, but Glad
stones intention regarding the other
ministers is not known, even to kome of
the definitely appointed mem bers OF his
ministry. Being a punctilious observer
of official precedent, he will not formally
offer q place TO any one until he actually
receives the queens command to forr.
ministry. Among the most striking re-
ports finding credence IN officials, is one
10 the effect that Lord Herschell will
become governor-general of India; that
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge will become
lord chancellor, and that Sir Charles
Russell will become lord chief justice
Lord Herschel's trausference will cause
shudder of apprehension throughout
the country In view OF the critical posi-
ton of Indo Russian relations. Until
Tuesday, when Gladstone returns from
Osborne house, the exact composition of
his cabinet will remain unknown. 1t is
known in court circles that 1t was fear
regarding the personnel of Gladstone's
ministry that mainly induced the queen
to consult the Duke of Devonshire during
his visit to Osborne house. as to whether
it was possible for bin to reuni'e with
Gladstone and to sweeten the literal
ministry Dy taking Office bi.nself. Another
source of the queens disqnietude Is the
change in the royal household appoint
ments inevitable on Gladstone's accession
to power The new premier will find it
exceedingly difficult to get persoDages
agreeable to the queen to fill the great
court offices. The house of commons
will resume its work Thursday next.
The business will consist mainly of the
issuance of wriis tor the reelection of
ministers The prorogat on OF parliament
is expected 10 take place August %.
SALISBURY STEPS DOWN AND OUT.
A: O'Clock this afternoon Lord Sails
bury lett on a special train for Ports
mouth, whence he will en- bark for the |
Isle of Wight. His destination IS Osborne
house, where he will tender to the queen |
the resignation of the conservative MIN
istry.

The Ajax Collision.

LONDON, Aug. ia special dispatch
to the Necs from Helsingfors says that
the captain OF the steamer Runne6org,
which sank the pleasure steamer Aja1 off
Helsingfors early las, Monday morning
says he ran his vessel on the wrong side
of the Ajar in order to avoid shallow
water. He pleads that lie had no opinion
to do otherwise. because the Ajdr did not
allow his vessel suffic; ;ent room. Although
the Ajar was licensed to carry only rs
persons, she had ITO passengers aboard.
The number of lives lost is nearer 80 than
40 The light from the moon as well as
from the vessels furnace and lanterns
showed hundreds of heads and arms In
the water. struggling to catch hold Of
anything that could be found. The
fighting OF many to throw off those cling
ing around them, and the shrieks of the
women and children, all combined TO
make the scene one that Dore would
have failed to paint. From the divers
report 1t is shown that many unhappy
victims are now lying IN mass in the
saloon of the Ajaz. The bodies and
faces are disfgured and distorted to an
extent dreadful to behold, making it
extremely difficult TO handle them.

Trying to Fomens Trouble.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The Conservative
and Liberal Unionist newspapers are
fomenting the popular excitement on the
subject of the Russian advance into the
Pamir region, and the bold attempts of
the Russians I" arouse trouble in Af-
ghanistan. The tories lnsist that Russia
has been encouraged BY the prospect of
Mr.. Gladstone's return to power to renew
her aggresslons near the Indian frontier
The st James Gazette says that there is
every reason to believe attempts will be
made by Russia to overstep the Afghan
frontier along the whole line, and that it
is difficult to exaggerate the gravity of
the Crisis A space of less than 100 miles
separates the Russian from the English
outposts.

MONTREAL, Aug. 13.-The Dominion
cabinet held q meeting here to-day.
This Is the first time the cabinet has met
outside of Ottawa for many years. After
prolonged session Premier Abbott,
speaking for the cabinet officers. said
that he could not communicate anything
except to ministerial paper, In which
an official statement will be published
Monday. 1t is stated, un jer reliable
authority, however, that the subject of
the canal rolls consumed most of the
time of the session. A proposition is to
be made to the United States government,
assuring it of Canada's friendly inter-
tions, and stating that the rebate on grain
passing through the St. Lawrence canal
will be withdrawn at the end of the
present season of navigation. An effort
will then be made to have q conference
between the two governments, So that all
differences may be adjusted.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The Heralds
Trinidad special says further particulars
have been received here of bloody and
decisive battle at Trinidad, Bolivar. A
considerable force was sent to attack
the governmentsls in the intrenchments.
After sharp engagement they retired,
apparently In great disorder. Seeing the
foe in full retreat, the governmentals left
the shelter of their intrenchments. deter
mined to crush the legalists. This was
the opportunity for which Hernandez
and Gill were waiting. No ooner had
the governmentals got fanly on to. the
plains. outside the city, than they were
confronted by the legalist reserves, which
outnumb bered the forces in the field, and
were soon holly engaged. The govern
mentals realized they had made mis-
take in daring battle on the plains, and
began to retreat. Then the decisive
blow of the battle was struck The
legslist cavalry. which was kept In
reserve, was thrown with tremendous
force on the already broken ranks OF the
governmentals. The retreat became a
rout. and the governmentals were swept
practically out of existence as an organ
ized army. The victorious legalists
entered Bolivar and Soledad, practically
without further opposition.
