MIR. GLADsTONE's PLAN,
He Will Not Appeal to the Country for
Several Years.

London dispatch says regarding Mr..
Gladstone's plans: The Marquis of Sails
bury's great rally of peers against the home
rule bill has accomplished what the union
lists least intended. Instead of discouraging
Mr.. Gladstone. the action of the lords has
aroused all the old mans pugnacity. He
has accepted the gage of battle thrown
down by the upper house, and he is now de-
term.ned to make the fight all along the
line. They have invited a life and death
struggle, and he has shown his readiness
to meet them on their own ground.
In the first place Mr.. Gladstone has de-
cided not to dissolve parliament after pass
ing two or three measures from the New
Castle program. His purpose now is to car
ry out series of sweeping radical reforms
on new line of policy, which he will an
nounce in an address to the Midlothian
committee in Edinburgh on September 81
This statement Will be the program of the
government until the next general election
Definite information as to the items was
spread among the liberal and radical MEM
bers yesterday. The most important meas
ures to which Mr.. Gladstone will commit
himself in his Edinburgh address will be the
parish councils bills, the disestablishment
of the church in Wales and Scotland the
electoral registration reform, the lone man
one vote" bills and proposals for lettering
the cations of landlords and tenants in
in London. All the measures indicated in
the above list will be pushed forward with
all possible dispatch in the house of COM
mons, and until they are disposed of there
will be no appeal to the country if the cab
met can prevent 1t.
Such mass of legislation can hardly be
finished before 1895. In other words, M
Gladstone plans to leave the home rule bill
on the shelf for at least two years more
Most liberals and radicals think he has
chosen the best course that the government
can follow. They say that the lords will
not assent to one of these bills as it will be
sent to them from the house of commons
Every one of the reform measures, despite
the strong public demand behind it. will
be rejected or distorted in the upper house

GLADSTONE'S COURSE
What viii the British Liberal
Premier Do Now
DISPATCHES TO THE QUEEN.
Her Msjesty's Views VIII Weigh Much
With tho Grand Old Man-Gene-
raj Foreign News.
(By cable to tho Dispa.ch.)

LONDON, ENG, Sept. 9.-Sir Henry
Ponsonby, the Queens private secretary,
passed last night at Black Craig Castle,
where Mr.. Gladstone is taking a holiday
with Mrs. Gladstone n a party OF
friends. This morning he and the Prime
Minister had a long interview, and before
moor Sir Henry left with a special dis
patch from Mr.. Gladstone 10 the Queen
concerning the governments attitude to-
wards the defeat OF the Home Rule bill
in the House of Lords last evening. Sir
Henry was conveyed in all haste from
Black Craig Castle to the railway station.
where an express train was stopped TO
take him on board and carry him TO Bal
moral.
IT is significant that Sir Henry's mis-
sion was not undertaken at the Queens
instance, but at the suggestion OF MT.
Gladstone two days ago.
The Queen Is known TO have awaited
with unwonted anxiety Mr.. Gladstones
decision as 10 the course after the rejec-
ton of the bill by the Lords. The Royal
idea is that Gladstone should appeal at
once 20 the country. and tho determine
ton which is understood TO have been eX-
pressed by Mr.. Gladstone, in his speciaI
dispatch, TO hold on indefinitely VIII not
suit Her Majesty at all. According 10
constitutional proceedings the Queen GER
tainly had som reason to expect that
I'm view of the overwhelming majority OF
the Lords Spiritual and Temporal In con-
demnation the aged Premier would re-
sign, or ask the electors again to justify
his policy.
1t is surmised that Mr.. Gladstone inti-
mated in the dispatch carried to Balmoral
to-day the readiness Of the Cabinet TO
submit to the Queens p~rerogative to as
miss her present ministers. This lntlinl-
nation would mean little. however, as
he knows he can rely on the Queens as
erection to axe no step involving the
Crown I'm the popular outcry against the
House of Lords.
4 large and influential part OF the ultra
Tory party expect such direct lnterVeh-
ton from the Queen, but their expectation
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 10
the country.
Before last nights sitting or the LORDS
the highest vote recorded in the upper
House YVES 37j. This was given on the
question of repeating the corn laws IN
1876 and included the proxies or absent
members. The attendance and vote last
evening. therefore, were quite beyond pre-
cedent.
