GLADSTONE AT The CASTLE
EE WILL TENDER HIS RESIcNA TON TO
HER MAJESTY
AT THE PRIvY COUNCIL TODAY.

The Radicals, Led by Labou-
chere, Make Great Roar
Against the Selection of Any
Peer for GIadstone's Shoes
Only a Question Of Time When
the Lords Must Go.
LONDON. March 2.-By command of
the queen Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone will
proceed to Windsor Castle This after
noon and Will remain as the guests of
her majesty until tomorrow. AT noon
tomorrow privy council will be held
at Windsor Castle, and upon this occa-
sion Mr.. Gladstone will tender his res
ignation of the premiership.
The Earl of Kimberly, lord president
of the council, Earl Spencer, first lord
of the admiralty. and the other min
listers with the exception of Lord Rose
berry will lie present. Mr.. Gladstone
is i'll excellent health and spirits today
and spent the forenoon quietly at home.
The radicals, headed by Henry Labou-
chere, have decided not to serve under
any peer, and they stated if
Lord Rosebery is made premier, the
existence of the new ministry is limited
to week. Mr. Labouchere has written
letter TO Rt Hon. Edward Maori
banks, the Liberal whip, saying that
the feeling against peer assuming the
premiership is so strong with the Lib
erals as we'll as
WITH THE RADICALS.
Continuing, Mr.. Labouchere says:
During the Tory administra-
ton, the fact that the premier was in
tine house of lords was a stock COM
plant of the Radicals in and out of par
lament, Mr.. Gladstone's popularity
was largely due to the fact that he was
regarded as the peoples minister,
Bcorning even old age, while holding
the premiership. Except in the house
of commons the party could not
consult in regard to its future
leader, and we cannot tor
moment admit that either
the queen or the cabinet can select our
leaders i'll secret conclave. IL is OBJ
ViouS that the queen Will select the man
most grateful to the court instead of TO
the people. The secrecy maintained in
regard to Mr.. Gladstone, the semi
OIlCldl uGllidIS up 10 llO last
the manner in which his successor was
sprung upon US, and the house now
sitting, have very ugly aspect and
6macks or
CABAL AND INTRIGUE.
"Ihat the queen has right to select
the premier is more true in theory than
iii fact, and it is probable that within
the next few years. if we remain
united, we shall sweep away the hered-
itary chamber. When we welcome
them to the house of commons as
elected members they will have the
same claim as others to lead US. A
peer for the premiership would wreck
the party. Ii such an outrage is at
tempted, it is the duty OF every Radical
10 resist such high-handed and PERM
cious proceeding" Mr. Gladstone arrived
at Windsor castle this afternoon, and
was in consultation with the queen
before dinner. During this consultation
the premier intimated to her majesty
his intention to resign, but the formal
tender of his resignation is deferred
until after the meeting Of the privy
council tomorrow. The general opinion
in official circles tonight is that the
queen Will
SUMMON LORD RoSEBERY.
Henry LabOuchere, in all interview
Lord ROsebery becomes premier. In
reply he said that if the Conservatives
moved want of confidence in such
government he would not support the
government, and he thought that at
least twenty members were in full sym
pathy with his view of the situation,
and that if they were driven to eX-
tremes they would even overturn gov
eminent headed by peer.
The Associated Press learns upon
good authority that Mr.. Gladstone will
not accept any position in the reorgan-
lied administration. The general feel
ing i'll the Liberal clubs is that if Mr..
Gladstone was 10 remain member of
the cabinet it would hamper his sue
cesSors and take away their freedom of
action, though it is understood that he
has intimated his desire TO give his sue
ceSsorS counsel and cooperation when
ever required.
Mr.. Bayard, the United States am
basSad,O or and Mrs. Bayard were among
the guests who dined with the queen at
Windsor castle this evening.
In consultation with the queen Mr..
Gladstone explained fully to her majesty
the reasons for his retirement. The
queen expressed her regret that the
country should lose his services and Of
fered him peerage. This Mr.. Glad
stone declined to accept Mr.. Glad
stone recommended that Lord Rose
berry be appointed his successor. A
telegram was sent later to Lord Rose
berry, who Is at EPSON, summoning him
10 Windsor for O'Clock tomorrow after
noon. 1t Is understood that he will ac-
cepr the premiership, but that there
Will be only two other changes in the
cabinet.
