OF Mr.. GIadstone's Retirement by
Courtesy Of the Court Circular.

which the Queen announces the retire
ment of Mr.. Gladstone to the people
will prove interesting to Americans. II
is contained in the Court Circular and
is written by Court official. Every
word of this circular is submitted TO the
Queen in advance. The announcement
is dated Windsor Castle, March 3, and
begins thus:
The Queen accompanied by Her Royal
Highness, Princess Beatrice, drove out
yesterday afternoon.
Then follows a list of the arrivals al
the castle, headed by the children OF the
Duchess Of Albany, Prince and Princess
Henry OF Battenberg, the Hon. Thomas
+. Bayard, American Ambassador 10 the
Court OF St. James, and the French
Ambassador, ending with the names
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone. II
then goes on to enumerate
all those who attended Her Majesty's
dinner party, wherein the names OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone come last.
This is followed by the information
that the Queen and Princess Beatrice
went out this morning, and then comes
the fact that cabinet council had been
held. Finally, following the an
nouncement anent the council,
comes the announcement that the
Right Hon. w. Z. Gladstone had an
audience with the Queen and rendered
his resignation, which was graciously
accepted by Her Majesty. 1t adds that
the Queen has summoned Earl Rose
berry, X. G., Secretary of State for For
eign Affairs, and offered him the post
of Prime Minister vacated by the Right
Hon. w. Z. Gladstone, M. p, and that
Rosebery had accepted Her Majesty's
offer.
Mr.. Gladstone to-day wrote letter
to Earl Rosebery congratulating him
upon his accession to the Premiership.
In his letter Mr.. Gladstone promised to
aid the new Prime Minister whenever
his assistance was asked. 1t is under
stood that Earl Rosebery's communica-
ton to Sir William Vernon Harcourt
has resulted in the latter consenting to
retain his position as Chancellor OF the
Exchequer, and 10 his accepting the
Government leadership Ia the House of
Commons.
Lord RoseberY has been the recip-
lent OF many congratulatory letters and
dispatches. Among those who tele-
graphed TO him were the Prince and
Princess of Wales
Lord Rosebery called upon the Earl
of Kimberly and offered him the post Of
Foreign Secretary, made vacant by his
promotion to the position OF Prime Min
ister.
Hundreds of letters and kilograms,
expressing regret because of his retire
ment from office, were received by Mr.
Gladstone. The eX-Prine Minister
attended church twice to-day. He
looked remarkably well.
The Nationalist propose to present
10 Mr.. Gladstone an address, In recog-
milton of the great service that he has
rendered to the Irish cause.
The speech from the throne prorogu-
ing Parliament was signed by the Queen
yesterday. 1t is neither long or sgniti-
cant.
Prime Minister Rosebery held his first
cabinet council as his residence this az
ternoon. Upon It's conclusion Lord Rose
berry sent message to the Queen sub
hitting, it is understood, the names OF
the members of the new cabinet.
Lord RoSebery will be given an audi
ence by the Queen at Buckingham Pal
ace at o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Interviews had to-day by the repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press with
leading members Of the House Of Com
mons show that, while section OF the
Radicals continue to strongly resent the
selection Of Lord RoSebery instead OF
Sir William Vernon Harcourt as Mr..
Gladstone's successor, there is a large
preponderance of Liberals who favor
Loyalty accepting Lord Rosebery.
Mr. Henry Labouchere continues TO
lead the irreconcilables. He hints that
they will soon find an opportunity to
hint in a practical form in the House Of
Commons against the selection Of Lord
Rosebery as Prime Minister.
Mr.. Gavin Brown Clark, a leading
Scotch Radical Of the House of Com
mons, says that be agrees with the posi-
tion taken up by Mr.. Labouchere, and
adds that he himself will probably
emphasize mis- protest by the withdrawal
of his support Of the government at an
early and critical occasion.
Other members Of the House, while
expressing sympathy with this attitude,
declare that they do not feel justified in
overturning the Liberal government,
especially as Lord Rosebery is pledged
to questions that are put down for the
earliest treatment at the new session,
and because they have every reason to
believe that he agrees that there is ur-
genCv for a material limitation OF the
powers of the House Of Lords.
The Welsh members Of the House OF
Commons are deeply concerned In the
situation, in view Of the early place
promised by the governm emit for the
Welsh disestablishment bill in the next
session: but, the general feeling is Que
of confidence that Lord Rosebery will
carry out the promises made by Mr..
Gladstone. 10 is argued, moreover,
that if the reorganized government be
early upset the prospects Of Welsh dis
establishment will be indefinitely de-
layed.
The Irish Nationalist state that they
do not feel as though they had any
right to take part in the agitation over
the leadership Of the Liberal party, but
strong Ia the past promises Of the Gov
eminent and their own voting strength,
they rely upon the Government giving
practical attention in due course TO the
Irish claims.
