rBy Telegraph TO the Evening Journal.l
LONDON, Aug. 1a-At noon today Mr.
Gladstone started for Osborne. His de- |
parture was very quiet. He succeeded
in eluding a group of admirers that had
gathered at Waterloo station, and
entered unobserved the royal saloon that
was to convey him to the presence of her
majesty.
The great subject of discussion con
tinues to be the reported difference be-
tween Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Roseberry.
There is no certainty yet that Lord Rose.
berry viii enter the cabinet. It is Ger
tain that if he is not put in charge Of
foreign affairs the Liberel cause will be
greatly weakened.
The Tories are ardently hoping that
there is a breach as reported between
Mr. Gladstone and the man who has been
one of his closest friends and who
was his host during the Midlothian
campaign The point of difference be
tween the two is said to be the
evacuation of Egypt and it is also said
that the difference did not originate since
the assurance of Conservative defeat,
but that Mr. Gladstone and Lord Rose
berry discussed the subject at Dalmeny
park. with a result unsatisfactory to
both.
Lord Roseberry considers the reten-
tion of Egypt indispensable to the seeur-
ity of Great Britain's possessions in the
East he is rather inclined to strengthen
than to weak the British hold upon that
country. He is also, it is said, strongly
in favor of the postponed railway to the
5 Victoria Nyanza, q project against Mr.
Gladstone has TO some extent put himself
! on record.
2 It is said that Lord Roseberry considers
the British government virtually pledged
I to the construction of such a railway, in
compliance with the language and spirit
of the general act Of the slave trade con-
L ference at Brussels, which declared that
. the most effective means for counteract-
d ing the slave trade in the interior OF
e Africa are the following: The construc
d ton of roads, and in particular of rail
d ways. connecting the advanced stations
= with the coast, and permitting easy
n access to the inland waters, and to such
s. of the upper courses of the rivers ano
?. streams as are broken by rapids ano
Q cataracts in view of substituting eco
II nomical and rapid means of transport tol
70 the present means of carriage.
70 The railroad scheme cannot 60 ahead
B. beyond the preliminary survey unless
/ the government is willing to guarantee
8 per cent. interest upon the capital OF
l. two million pounds and as TO the justice
It and prudence of doing this there is saiC
to be wide differences of opinion betweel
n Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Roseberry Not
IS withstanding these and perhaps othe
= differences it is reported today tina
n Lord Roseberry viii take the foreign
Is office and disaproint the Tories in thei
expectation of being able to raise Jing
cry against Mr.. Gladstone.
!, II Is rumored today, also, that Mr.
Gladstone means to have a thorongl
- overhauling of the system Of administra
" ton in India and that, in addition q
Home Rule for Ireland, he may formulat
a scheme of national government for lndi
Of resembling in cerlain leading character

be said to be booked for the Indian Office
he said to be fully in sympathy with tn
