LONDON, July 27, 1S95.-The new Par
lament is now practically completed,
only four constituencies remaining to be
polled 1t is lucky for the Liberal Union
lists that the Ministry was formed be-
fore the Conservatives had an idea that
they would appear in the House with a
majority great enough to defy a seces-
sion on the part of the Liberal Union
lists or coalition of all the parties.
Already influential Conservatives are
urging the leaders of that party to re-
construct the government, giving the
Conservatives increased representation
therein. 1t would be difficult to re-
shuttle the cards so recently dealt out,
but, at the Carlton Club, it is thought
that Lord Salisbury will try to do it..
The Cabinet will meet on Tuesday, when
the question of removing Mr.. William
Court Gully from the Speakership of
the House of Commons and the substit
ton in his stead of Sir Matthew White
Ridley, at present Secretary of State for
the Home Department, will be dis
cussed. Mr.. Gully stands to win, no
matter what action the Cabinet may
take. Should he be allowed to retain the
office, he will, of course, have all the
honors and emoluments attaching there
to. Should he be removed to make room
for member of the Government party,
he will receive a pension of $4,000 an
nually, and perhaps be made a peer,
though this latter is by no means a
certainty. His salary is now $4,000 a
year, and in addition he is furnished a
residence in the Palace of Westminster
The refusal to re-elect a Speaker is a
rare event in the history of Parliament
There has been only one such refusal
within a century, but the Conservatives
are arrogant in their success and threat
en- to oppose Mr. Gully's nomination,
even if the Government should be will
ing that he remain in office. With Sir
Matthew White Ridley as Speaker, room
would be made in the Home Office for
that staunch Tory ]. w. Loather, who
is the husband of niece of lord Sal
isbury. Another post, that of Chairman
of Committees of the House, awaits an
other of Lord Salisbury's protegees.
1t is not yet deemed prudent to eject
any Chamberlainite from Office. Though
the Liberal Unionists claim a party vote
of seventy, the Conservatives know that
than it seems. A majority of his ap-
parent following is composed of cd
Wings, who are akin to the new Tories.
If rupture should come they would re-
main with the Conservatives. Mr.. Cham
berlain's steadfast adherents really con-
sist of the Birmingham group, with about
fifteen other members. 1t is to his in
terest. therefore, to continue in harmony
with the Tories on any terms.
CAMBRIDGE WILL HANG ON.
Another certain result of the Tory
victory will be the postponing of the
retirement of the Duke of Cambridge
from the nandership-in-Chief of the
army until 1896 when he will be succeeded
by the Duke of Connaught. According to
a report at the Horse Guards, Us the
place where the army offices are located
is called, the Duke of Cambridge will
not retire until November g. 1897, when
he will complete sixty years of service.
Then he will draw large pension for
his services as Commander-in-Chief and
will retain the f2,20O he receives yearly
as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards. The
country will not make a cheap bargain in
getting rid of him.

Mr.. Walter Hume Long, President of
the Board of Agriculture, has made an
important statement relative to a Home

at Devices he said that the Conservatives
