GLADSTONE OUT -ROSEBERY IN.
QUEEN VICTORIA GLAD OF IT.
a Variety of Opinions As to the Future
of the Liberal Party. -Popuiari-
TT of the New Premier.

II was officially announced Saturday even
Ing that the Queen had accepted the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Gladstone, and that her Majesty
had summoned Lord Rosebery and offered
him the prime ministership. 1t WAS further
officially announced that Lord Rosebery had
accepted the position.
The manner in which the Queen announced
the retirement of Mr.. Gladstone Is strongly
criticised. 1t Is very formal, with no tone OF
appreciation OF his faithful service In public
positions. Mr.. Gladstone's sturdy support OF
royalty and royal prerosatives might at least
win an acknowledgment.
1t is asserted that Lord Rosebery and the
Liberal party will have to face grave crisis
after the retirement OF Mr. Gladstone. In
addition TO the strong objection that Ia enter
talned by a large section OF the new Radical
party to the selection Of a peer as successor
TO Mr. Gladstone, there Is feeling of sore
ness among the more moderate Liberals at the
cavalier manner In which Mr.. Gladstone has
treated his colleagues in the matter of his
resignation.
1t IS declared that he should before having
taken so decisive astep. called the party to-
geiher and favored them with the reasons for
his REIMBURSEMENT OF the leadership of the
party al n critical time.
More important, to the great bulk of the
Liberal party than the action OF MIR. La
bouchere, is the attitude OF the antl-Parnel-
lite party, which undoubtedly will have the
power to turn the ministry out OF Office any
day they choose 1t Is believed communi ca
lions have passed betwee members OF the
government and the leaders OF the Irish Ma
tonalIsts. The latter arc said to have re-
cclved assurances that the passage OF meas
urc of home rule will still be the chief aim of
the government.
The Daiiy .ye,os declares the cover nment
will meet parliament as strong, except in the
absence OF Mr.. Gladstone, as before. In one
respect It will be even stronger. The attack
on the mplacablc vote OF the house Of lords
will gain force by the guidance OF peer.
Lord Roscbery several years ago introduced
bill abollshing the house OF lords and substl-
tutlng therefor an elective senate. more
practical solution OF the present crisis, how
ever Is the plan formerly proposed by the XII.
Hon John Morley, aud understood TO have
been suggested by Lord Rosebery himself, by
which peer might relnquish bis seat In the
house of lords and become candidate for a
seat in the house OF commons.
Lord Rosebery's acceptance OF the premier
ship viii involve only three or four changes
In the old cabinet 1t is toerably certain the
Earl of Kimberley or Earl Spencer will go to
the foreign office and that John Morley, the
present chief secretary for Ireland will be-
come secretary of state for India The Ma
| ,iouallsts have intimated Mr.. Herbert Glad
stone or the Rt-Hon. Dyke-Acland, vice
president OF the committee Of council of edu-
cntion must be the new chief secretary for

THE landing of British marines OF

THE landing of British marines on
the coast of Nicaragua is rather ser
ious matter, being moral iniraction
of the Monroe doctrine. At Blue
fields British subjects have established
a colony on land which once belonged
to tribe of Indians under the protec-
ton of Great Britain, The exact sta
tain, but it appears that Nicaragua is
seeking to assert her authority over
this insignificant settlement and Eng
land objects. Our government ought
not to permit any foreign power to
gain foothold on the coast of Central
America in such close proximity to
the Nicaragua canal.
