LARGEST VOTE EVER CAST.
That by The House Of Lords Against
The Home Rule Bill.

the queen S private secretary. passed last
night al Black Craig castle. where
Gladstone is taking a holiday with Mrs.
Gladstone and friends. This morning he
and the prime minister had a long inter
view, and before noon Sir Henry left
with a special dispatch from Gladstone
10 the queen concerning the govern
ment's attitude towards the defeat of th e
home rule bill in the House of Lords last
evening. Sir Henry was conveyed in all
haste from Black Craig castle to the
railroad station at Couparangus, where
an express train was stopped to take him
On board and carry him to Balmoral
WILL he APPEAL TO THE CoUNTRY7
1t is significant that Sir Henry's mis-
sion was not undertaken at the queen $
instance, but at the suggestion Of Glad
stone two days ago. The queen is known
TO have awaited with unwOnted anxiety
Gladstone's decision as to the course after
the rejection Of the bill by the lords. The
royal idea is that Gladstone should APP
peal at once to the country, and the de-
termination, which is understood to have
been expressed by Gladstone in his spe-
cial dispatch to hold on indefinitely, will
not suit her majesty at all.
WHAT THE QUEEN EXPECTED.
According to constitutional presidents,
the queen certainly had some reason to
expect that after the overwhelming ma
jority of lords, spiritual and temporal, had
condemned him the aged premier would
resign or ask the electors again to Justify
his policy. II is surmised that Gladstone
intimated in the dispatch carried to Bal
moral to-day the readiness of the cabinet
20 submit to the queens prerOgative to
dismiss her present minister. This init
nation would mean little, however. as he
knows he can rely on thequeens discre-
ton to take no steps involving the crown
In the popular outcome against the House
Of Lords
LARGEST VOTE THE LORDS EVER CAST.
A large and influential part of the ultra
Tory party expect such direct interyen-
ton from the queen. but their expecta-
ton will hardly be realized. On the
other hand, the queens opinion as to the
proper course for Gladstone will weigh
with him undoubtedly in Fastening his
appeal to the country. Before last nights
sitting of the lords the highest vote re-
corded in the upper house was 375. This
was given on the question of repeating
the corn laws in 1876, and included the
proxies of absent members. The attend
ance and vote last evening, therefore,
were quite beyond precedent
BAD NEVER BEEN PRESENT BEFORE.
No such gathering of hereditary legisla-
tors had been seen previously in London.
Many OF the peers who came to the town
TO vote against the bill had never seen
the interior Of the House before, and fifty
of them were obliged to sign the roll for
the first time before voting To
render the duty of atten-
dance less tiresome. some fiftv or

OF the house unsuitable to their tastes.
had their own cooks, and wines and meals
were brought in for the occasion One
peer, for instance, gave dinner prepared
by his own chef, served on his own plate
by his own servants. In neither its pub
lie nor private aspects did the House re-
veal any characteristics likely to stregth-

PLANS OF THE RADICALS.
The radicals will raise again the cues
ton of the Duke Of Conuaughts appoint-
ment TO the Aldershot command The
debate will follow motion to be made
probably by LabouChere for the reduction
of the army estimates by cutting down
the salary drawn by the Duke of Cam
bridge as commanders Several
conservatives and some liberal unionists
Will support the motion with the purpose
81 defeating the government. Ifthey really
have majority, the consequences for
the government will be serious Camp
Dell Baunerman, secretary of state for
war, would resign, and a general reor-
ganizatiOn of the cabinet would be nee
essary, as such vote might also result
IN the Duke Of Cambridge's retirement.
The radicals speak privately of with
drawing the motion in case they obtain a
public assurance that the government
does not design the Duke of Con
naught's Aldershot appointment
as prelude to his succession to the com
membership chief This offer from the
radicals, however, would not help the
ministry much. The proposed motion
and the suggested bargain are therefore
the two horns Of a serious government
dilemma.
ROW OVER TIE PARISH FUND.
The dispute among the anti-Parnellites
over the disposition of the parish fund
seems TO be nearing a settlement. Nil

appointed to confer with JOS Kenny,
representing the Parnellites, as to the
release of the fund, recognized the claim
OF the Parnellites to $4,000 as due them
