LONDON, Aug. 12.-Mr. Gladstone
will go to Osborne house Monday with
complete list of the new cabinet to
the queen, but, i'll pursuance OF conStl-
tutional usage, he maintains absolute
silence on the proposed appointments.
1t has been impossible to conceal the
arrangements made for Sir William
Vernon Harcourt at the eXchequer and
for John Morley as Irish secretary, but
Mr.. Gladstone's intentions regarding
other ministers are not known, even to
some definitely appointed members of
his ministry. He has received queues
of aspirants for Office, and has discussed
the composition of the cabinet with
his chief advisers without defin-
itely communicating to any one his
final selections. Being a punctilious
observer of official precedent, he will
not formally offer place to any one
until he has actually received the
queens commands to form ministry.
SurmiseS are rife regarding new minis
terial combinations. Among the most
striking reports finding credence in Of
fetal legal quarters is one to the effect
that Lord IIerschell will become gov
ernor general of India; that Lord Chief
Justice CoIeridge will become lord
chancellor, and that Sir Charles Russell
will become lord chief justice. Lord
HerSchell'S tranSference from the bench

would be incredible but for the known
fact that he has long desired to be a
prominent figure in the political arena.
He has the highest opinion of his own
qualities as an administrator, and if the
report be accurate, he must have con-
vlnced Mr.. Gladstone of his worth: but
his appointment will cause Shudder of
apprehension throughout the country in
view of the critical position of Indian
Russian relations. Until Tuesday,
when Mr.. Gladstone returns from OS-
borne house. the exact composition of
the cabinet will remain unknown. The
queen Will have an unusually exciting
time during her conferences with Mr..
Gladstone over the nominations. The
names of the old group re-enterng the
Calumet size knows. but most of the new
set she breads knowing. 1t is known i'll

as to whether it was possible for him to

Liberal ranks included the old Wing
families changes in the royal house
mattered little to the queen. One
duchess succeeded another as mistress
of the robes, and ladies of the bed
chamber cOuld easily be recruited from
the Wing aristocracy. But now Mr..
Gladstone has small choice, and will
find it exceedingly difficult to get per-
sonages agreeable to the queen to fill
the great court Offices. The house of
commons will resume business Thurs
day next. mainly to issue writs for the
reelection of ministers. Most of
The members of the house have
already left town and intend not to re-
turn until the opening of the session in
January. Neither Mr.. Gladstone nor
his leading colleagues will appear in
the house Thursday. The necessary
official announcement will be made In
their behalf by the senior member of
the new government. who is not re-
quired to be reelected. The prOroga-
ton of parliament is expected to take
place on Aug. %.
MThe Daily Telegraph says: 1t is un-
derstood that Lord RoseDery will join
the new cabinet. Should this prove
e correct LORD Kimberly will probably ac-
