LORD RosEBERY's CHANCES

London. July 26.-Sir Henry Campbell Ban
herman, Liberal leader in the House of Com
mons was so incensed at the action of the Radi-
Gals in forcing vote yesterday the motion
to reduce the salary of the Secretary of State
for the Colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, that he
threatened to resign the leadership of the party.
Friends succeeded, however. in persuading
him to reconsider his decision, and he called
meeting of the party leaders, which was held
privately this evening, to discuss the situation
The result was that he agreed to retain the
place. provided he not again subjected to
such rebuff.
Probably, however there will be another
meeting of the whole party on the subject and
rumor credits the Liberal imperlalists with in
