LORD ROSEBERRY ACTIVE.
Lord Roseberry spent the morning con
ferrlng with cabinet ministers and ap
parently based upon this conference
there is in circulation report to tn,
effect that the Right Hon. John Morle,
will retain his position as chief secretary
for Ireland. The cabinet situation il
complicated by the death OF Baron Tweed
mouth, father of the Right Hon. Edward
Majoribank, tho liberal whip, who may
be made cabinet minister. His name il
prominently connected with the office o.
secretary of state for India. This woulc
add another peer to the cabinet, and still
further enrage the radicals who lave al
ready declared their intention to upset
the government should peer be made
premier.
1t is said to be definitely settled that
the Earl of Kimberley, secretary of state
for India and lord president of the coun.
Gil, will become secretary of state for for
eign affairs in succession to Lord Rose
berry.
THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
The house of lords met at 1:30 p. m. to-
day. There were many ladies present in
the galleries to hear the royal assent of
the queen to the local government bill.
The queens speech was then read and
the house adjourned.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, chancel-
lor of the exchequer, to-day assumed the
Liberal leadership of the house OF COM
mons amid enthusiastic cheers from the
Liberal benches. Later the queens speech
was read in the house and the body ad-
iourned. Interest now seems to center
on the attitude of the Parnelite party, as
the position of the McCarthyites is said
to be settled. They rely upon the gov
ernment to give proper attention to

in due course of time. The followers of
Labouchere seem dwindled to a very in
significant number, in fact it is claimed
the distinguished Radical now has only
two followers. The Parnelites who it is
said would act with Radicals, are more
numerous but John Redmond their
leader, adreitly refuses to commit himself
in any way about the house and remains
master of the situation. The Mccarthy
ties, it is claimed, are not IN position to
enforce any demands.
PRESS COMMENTS.
The Pail Mall Gazette in an article
summing up the services of Gladstone,
alludes to him as political ritualist, who
clung tenaciously to the form of caring
nothing for substance. He was pedantic
stickler for precedent and was lame nta-
bly, deficient in power. Though regarded
as leader he was really driven into sue
cession by Sir Robert Peel, John Bright
and John Morley.
The st. James Gazette says the with
drawal of Gladstone marks an epoch in
the Liberal party. Il is no longer Glad
stonian and must be reorganized and re-
christened. Lord Roseberry is favorably
situated and very gs1erally trusted. The
West Minister Gazette says that Lord
Roseberry's dominant ideal is colonial
expansion and imperial unity, coupled
with sincere belief in Democracy.
HE Is PREMIER.
Lord Roseberry visited the queen this
afternoon and kissed her hand on his ap-
pointment as premier.
