Ruinor Has 1t That But Two Minis
tiers VIII lie Changed.

WINDSOR, March 3.-The Right Hon.
William f. Gladstone. Prime Minister.
First Lord Of the Treasury and Lord
Privy Seal, to give him his full title on
the eve OF his retirement from office,
arose early this morning and took a long
walk in the grounds OF Windsor Castle,
at which historical group of buildings he
had been the guest of the Queen over
night.
The morning was fine. and Mr.. Glad
stone. who was accompanied by General
the Right Hon. Sir Henry Frederick
P~onsonby. private secretary to Her
Majesty. enjoyed his walk greatly. The
Premier looked In the best Of health and
was certainly in the best OF spirits.
After his morning walk. Mr.. Gladstone
visited his old friend, the Dean OF Wind
scr. the Very Rev. Phillip Frank Eliot,
DID.
The Cabinet Ministers, upon arrival at
Windsor. were driven to the Castle. and
the Council meeting took place.
Though no official announcement Of
the fact has been made up to the time
this despatch is sent, It is understood
that Mr.. Gladstone officially rendered his
resignation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone left Windsor
at 3 o'clock this afternoon on The same
train with the returning Cabinet Minis
ters. This route from the Castle to the
railroad station was thronged with peo-
pie. who heartily cheered Mr.. Gladstone.
1t is stated that Mr.. Gladstone will
shortly leave England for the continent.
and that he will remain abroad until
the end OF Spring.
After Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone and the
Cabinet Ministers had left Windsor It
became known that the Queen a sent
her Private Secretary to London. snm-
moning Lord Rosebery TO Windsor
Castle.
Dispatches received here later an
~nounced that Sir Henry Ponsonby. at 4
o'clock this afternoon. had delivered his
message to Lord Rosebery. and that the
latter was starting for Windsor.
While 1t seems to be settled that Lord
Rosebery will be Premier. there is con-
siderable diversity of opinion as to who
will be the next Secretary OF State for
Foreign Affairs. The general opinion
seems to he that the Earl Of Kimberley.
who is now Lord President OF the Coun-
ell and Secretary Of State for India, Is
the coming man for this position. Lord
Kimberley has had a great deal OF ex-
perience, having already filled the posi-
tons OF Under Secretary OF State for
Foreign Affairs and for India. and has
been Minister to st. Petersburg. Lord
Lieutenant Of Ireland, Lord Prvy Seal
twice Secretary OF State for the Col,
onies and Secretary Of State for India.
The Earl Of Kimberley was born In
1925.
Among the other Cabinet changes dis,
cussed is the probability that John Nor,
ley. now Chief Secretary for Ireland,
will succeed the Earl OF Kimberley AS
Secretary of State for India.
II current rumor in official circles Is tC
he believed these are the only two Cab,
met changes which will be made,
The Radicals. who have been makins
such a bitter opposition TO the selection
Of A Peer for the Premiership, are loud
in their expressions of delight at the fact
that Mr.. Gladstone yesterday again re
fused the Queens offer OF a pecraEe.
The newspapers are praising the atti

OF the Irish Parliamentary party. In thi'
connection the Chronicle says that tn
attitude Of the Irish has been both un
compromising and strictly proper. add
ing: They have made II quite plair
that they regard the leadership OF thu
Liberal party as a matter for the decis
ion of that party alone. The Irish lead
ers have scrupulously declined urgent so
