London. June 2a--rhe retiring cabinet

the queen at Windsor castle this after
noon. Later her majesty presented the
seals TO the incoming ministers.
on all sides the agents OF both parties
are actively preparing for the fray. The
rust Is be.ng rubbed off the timeworn
suits OF political armor. and all the old
fweapons of a British electoral campaign
are being FURNISHED up TO the highest
point OF brightness. Quiet canvasSing is
already going on in some quarters. ANA
the Primrose League is preparing 10 rally

tie. the result OF which is looked upon as
certain to be victory for the Conserva-

hot shot into the Tory ranks in the ad-
dress which he is TO deliver at Derby, the
seat which ne has represented in parlia-

of these heavy pieces of political artillery

lain now dubbed Judas" by the irish
Nationalists, and then the firing win be
taken up along the lines of both the Lib
eral and Conservative forces and the en-
gagement will become general. Every
man on each side who can be expected
TO win a vote by a speech will be called
upon to do so, and hot exchange of re-
examinations will fill the air until the poll
ing clears away the smoke Of battle.
Vanity Fair says il is understood that
the queen is greatly pleased at the change
OF government, and she hoped that
very solid and able minister would he Sc
lected to control the admiralty depart
ment as first lord of the admiralty. Her
majesty has recently been devoting much
attention to the British navy and TO the
relative strength of the navies OF the
world Cuttings from various newspapers
commenting upon the subject are collect
ed, and these, with the opinions of ex-
perts, are read to the queen who listens
most attentively and has notes made for
future reference.
Nasrulla Khan, the Afghan visitor, who
has attracted so much attention in the
press and elsewhere. has taken great in
terest in the change of ministry, and is
said to have been quite sorry that the
Earl of Kimberly, ex-secretary OF state
for foreign affairs. has lost ,Iis portfolio.
This solicitude upon the part of Nasruila
for the earl is due to the fact that the
latter has been untiring In his efforts 10
make the princes visit pleasant one
and has so far succeeded in smoothing
over the little unpleasantneSses which
have so frequently cropped up since the
ameer's son landed on these shores. For
this there is no doubt that the earl or
his agents deserve great credit. for
more difficult person TO please than Mas
rulia Khan never set foot on British soil.
The work OF building up the sabinet is
finished, and Hon. George n. Curzon,
member for South Lancashire Is under
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
which Office, however, does not carry
with 1t the honor OF a seat in the cab
met. But IL is not quite certain that Mr..
Curzon will be reelected. as Mr.. Nayior-
Leland also a Conservative, has an
nounced his intention Of contesting South
Lancashire against Mr.. Curzon, and, as
both gentlemen are married to American
ladies who are going 10 take part in the
campaign, a most interesting political
battle may be anticipated.
II was reported yesterday on good au-
thority that Lord Dunraven, who was
under secretary for the colonies from
August. 1876, TO February. 1887, was likely
to be a member of the cabinet His fit-
ness for a cabinet position IS generally
leaders, although II is generally but er-
roneousy supposed that he cares for
nothing but yachting. His name, how
ever. was not among those mentioned.
The bi-metallic league is naturally
pleased that the Marquis of Salisbury Is
again premier, and it's members are pre-
pairing for some active work at the ap-
preaching general election. They are also
greatly pleased at the weighty character
OF the signatures which they obtained TO
the recent memorials showing that bi-
metaIlism had representative supporters
among the bankers, including eight di-
rs.,,fors OF the Bank OF England. In addi-
ton 10 a number OF prominent members
OF the industrial classes and labor organ
izations The league Is convinced that
the bankers anti-bi-metallic memorial
was fnsnired By Sir William Vernon Har-
court. the former chancellor OF the eN-
chenuer being forced 10 support the bi-
metallic resolution in the house OF COM
mons when he saw the possibility OF hav-
ing 10 arpoint delegates 20 a conference.
The league explains the absence Of Mr..
Balfour's signature by saying that he and
Az Henry Chaplin thought IL discount
eous to sign a memorial addressed to the
leader OF the house OF commons when
they were leading his opponents.
Commenting on the downfall of Lord
Posaberv Truth expresses the opinion
that the ex-premier would have made an
admirable master OF the horse. and that
his snitaph should be: Here lies Archi-
h3ld Primrose, fifth Earl Of Rosebery.
