ENGLAND'SNEW CABINET
A HUE AND CRY AGAINST THE
ROYAL BUCK HOUNDS.

Gladstone Assumes the Responsibility
for Leaving Labouchere Out of the
Cabinet - He Writes Pronounclng
Unfounded the Story That He In
tends to Retire From once In the
Spring.
LONDON, Aug. 24.-The Pail Mall Ca
zette, commenting upon the statement pub
lished in Truth regarding Mr.. La
bouohere's not being appointed to a minis
terial position, says; mir. Labouchere's
quarrel ought to be with Mr.. Gladstone and
not with the queen. Doubtless the whole
radical army is disappointed and think like
Mr.. Lsbouchere, that every body who should
have been in the cabinet has been left out,
while nearly everybody appointed is in the
wrong place Mr.. Labouohere's eye-opening
paragraphs give as much OF truth about the
appointments as we may expect to get"
The Chronicle says: "Mr. Lsbouchere's
pungent, caustic criticism of the new min
istry is having considerable constitutional
Importance. Perhaps it is better that Mr..
LAbouchere 10 not an administrator, but Il
radical intransigeant, applying good and
exquisite raillery to the government, that is
obviously tempted TO go too slow"

The Associated Press representative here
learns that MIR. Gladstone has sent letter
to Mr.. Labouchere saying that he alone is
responsible for not presenting MIR. Labou-
cheres name to the queen and that his
reasons for not appointing Mr.. Labouchere
in no wise reflect upon Mr.. Labouchere's
public character or services.
GLADSTONE NOT TO RETIRE.
In response to inquiries as to the truth Of
the rumor mentioned by the Chronicle this
morning that Mr.. Gladstone would retire
from office in the spring, Mr. Gladstone
telegraphs from Hawarden that the whole
story is utterly groundless.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt was to-day
reelected in Derby by an increased major
ity, receiving 6,508 votes against ,6l9 for
Farmer Atkinson. In the recent general
election Sir William received 7.5O8 votes
and his conservative opponent 5 ,456
GLADSTONE RE-RLECTED.
Mr.. Gladstone has been reelected TO
parliament from Midlothian. He had
no opposition aud his election
was merely a formality. to comply
with the law providing that member Of
the house on accepting office must seek re-
election.
The queen has approved the appointment
OF Lord Darlington, joint hereditary lord
great chamberlain Of England, "a lord
chamberlain in succession tn the Earl Of
Latham. Her majesty has also approved
the appointments OF the Marquis of Breadal-
bane as lord stewart. and Visoount Oxen
bridge as master of the horse. Both OF
these are positions In the queens household.
Under Lord Salisbury's administration the
position of lord stewart was held by the
Earl of Mount Edgecombe, and that of
master Of the horse by the Duke Of Port
land.
MASTER OF THE BUCK HOUNDS
The Star and the Chronicle each protest
against Mr.. Gladstone's refllling the post OF
master of the royal buck hounds-a position
previously held by the Earl of Coventry-by
the appointment Of Lord Ribblesdale. The
papers hold that the continuance Of the post
sanctions elaborate cruelty to the animals.
This ia one more point" says the Chronicle,
"on which Mr. Gladstone has alien
ated the sympathy of the democracy
For a long time past there has been agita-
tion carried on against the sport OF deer
hunting with dogs. The opponents Of this
method of hunting claim that it is cruel
and inhumAn. The royal buck hounds have
come in for their full share of disapproba-
ton, and now the appointment of a liberal
master of the buck hounds is taken advan-
tage of by two liberal papers to make a
further attack on Mr.. Gladstone.
With the exception or Messrs. Harcourt
and Morley, all the new ministers have
been formally reelected without opposi-
ton:
TIE NEW HOME RULE BILL.
LONDON, Aug. %. 3 A. M.-The Chronicle
this morning gives the following as the
main lines OF the home rule bill as believed
to have been agreed upon between Messrs.
Gladstone, Mccarthy and Dillon: First,
that the present land legislation shall not
be disturbed for five years; second that the
police and judiciary shall be in the hands
OF the Dublin parliament; third. that the
balance OF the Irish church fund shall be
at the disposal OF the . irish
legislature; fourth, that the I'm
glish receiver general of the bill
OF 1856 shall be dispensed with. Fifth, chat
on the other hand there shall be only one
customs department, and that the Irish
parliament shall not have power 10 levy
separate duties. Sixth, that the only veto
shall be the royal veto, 20 be exercised on
advice of the English ministry. Seventh,
that thirty Irish members shall be retained
at Westminster The Chronicle believes
Mr.. Gladstone abandoned with great reluc-
tance the idea Of receiver general In def
erenoe to the wishes Of the McCerthyites
POSING AS A MARTYR.
LONDON, Aug. 25, 3 A. M.-The Times
thinks Mr.. Labouchere played to be ex-
cluded from the ministry to enable him to
pose az q martyr at is probable" says
the Times "that Mr.. Gladstone, finding
Mr.. Labouchere disinclined to join the min
istry, desired to have his non>acoeptance
recorded in writing. Mr.. Labouchere might
at least remember that the queen is pre-
cluded by her position from defending her
self. The whole affair shows Mr.. La
bouchere's unfltness to enter the cabinet"
The Standard says: 1--WE are not sur
prised that Mr.. Gladstone set a diplomatic
snare for this unruly follower. There is
not particle of evidence. however, TO sup
port the conjecture that the queen objected
TO Mr.. Labouchere."
TO BE ABOLISHED.
LONDON, Aug. 25, 3 A. M.-The Daily
NetcS announces that the Office Of the
master Of the buck hounds will be abolished
directly the necessary formalities are com
pleted.
