THE FALL OF GLADSTONE.

London. June fl.?4.30 p. in.?(Jladi
m 1
tm stone lias just announced the resigna- 1
| J" ion of tlio Cabinet in the Mouse of 1
jin Commons.
I 111 A Cabinet council was convened at 1
noon and was in session until 1.15
o'clock. It is understood that 'ho situation
was thoroughly discussed, and it '
was decided that in view of the defeat '
last night it would be inconsistent for '
the members of the Cabinet to remain 1
longer in oflice, and it was resolved 1
that their resignations be tendered to '
pill '-'1C Quucn at oi'C-.
um The report of this decision of the 1
Cabinet hps caused a feverish feeling on 1
piu the Stock Exchange, and consols have 4
,)m declined 3-1(5, while Uussian securities f
t8 are lower. On all the provincial '
iti- Kxchanges the weak feeling in financial '
"|l1 circles is more marked. (
AN OVATION TO OKAUHKONK.
U- London, June 9.?Mr. Ciladstone a
few minutes after four o'clock this af- ,
II *
"m tcrnoon entered the House of Commons.
1,1 His appearance was thai of a firm man,
r perfectly undisturbed. He at once pro- j
11,1 ceeded to the Speaker's desk, and enIII
in tered into conversation with Mr. Peel.
During the conversation the Premier
cts was evidently in bright spirits, and Iuj t
*jj was loudly cheered by the Radical mem- 1
?c- hers of the House. When he seated
^ himself in his usual place his very self- '
iul possession seemed to enthuse his adrnir- 51
on ers and the chamber was fairly rent with L
cheer nfter cheer, and the applause be
came an ovation. At last Mr. Gladstone 1
arose in deference io the greeting, lie '
said that the Cabinet, on assembling to- c
it* ... -
"r" 'Jay, thought they were under obligation '
to submit u dutiful communication to '
the Queen. [Cheers.] It would be f
N? premature 011 his part to enter iuto par- a
ticulars concerning tlio nature of that
!>?? communication just now. He would 1
?? say, however, that, as on former occa- Jl
|| sions, a few days must elapse before the r
? result of that communication could be *
|| arrived at, so as to be made known to c
? the House. During the interval Mr. I
" CiladhtfTtie concluded the House would I
J!" follow its usual custom in refraining
?? from the transaction of its ordinary bus- *
|| mess, and he would iiio.'j that the'House
<< on rising do adjourn until Friday. 1
|| Sir Charles l>ilke, president of the *
" Local Government board, speaking at t
H7I the Citv I-thornl CM11I1 thij i?'.n>inr? r
ferring to the events of the lust twenty- (
lt four hours, said there was one event so *
gratifying that it was hardly possible to i
men lion it without emotion, numely, the u
Lp extraordinary reception wliieh the Lib- (
rer erals in the Houso of Commons gave
'?* their groat leader this afternoon, when
he (Gladstone) came down to make the
announcement that all except he would t
iii
m make. [Cheers.] Etiquette forbade t
m him to add anything to Gladstone's <
JJ,1 statement, but the Liberal members of 2
the House of Commons were deeply
m
m moved by the appearance of Gladstone
111 In such circumstances, and received him
m with a warmth of enthusiasm unsurpassed
and unequalled in his (Dilke's)
experience. lie believed that the
?c. whole country endorsed this feeling.
Gladstone's mind was uncrainped and
unwarped by time and age, and he was
K ' now in complete sympathy with the advanced
Liberal section. Kven mora
than before he was the greatest Liberal
leader ever known.
sttitvivouk of the l>l8!taki.i cabinet.
London, June D.?The attendance at
prayers at the opening of the House of
~ Commons this afternoon was unusually
large. The report that the ministry had
resigned had been circulated pretty
thoroughly throughout the metropolis,
and great crowds of people surrounded
all the entrances tu tho Parliament 1
buildings eager to catc'i a glimpse of tlie ?
ministers when they should enter, or to *
hear reports bearing upon the impending ?
events. It was generally understood be- '
fore the meeting of the* House that Mr. '
Gladstone would move its adjournment ?
until Friday, in order to enable the Govq
eminent to communicate with the Quoen
concerning the crisis and the wisest ,t
methods of meeting it. The members t
of the Commons, beforo tho prayer i
hour, stood about in the lobbies eagerly t
C. discussing the situation. 1
The Standard, in its evening addition (
to-day, says it believes that tho result (
of the Cabinet council was a unanimous *
decision affirming thb necessity for res- c
ignaiion by the entire ministry. \
The Karl of Salisbury his been in
) conference with Sir Stafford Northcoto. t
It is expected that the surviving mem j
;* bers of tho last Disraeli Cabinet will 1
hold a meeting and consider the situa- t
tion and their own resp9nsibility in the t
premises. i

he London, .June 0?Although Glad?
stone's statement in the House of Com- 1
mons this afternoon did not contain any <
direct announcement of resignation by r
the Cabinet, the terms he employed, <
being those which havo invariably been <
) used on similar occasions, wore taken to J
. ' .
indicate tlmt resignations had been do- |j
cided and tendered to the Queen. Con- (
servatives are devided on the question of |
the expediency of assuming power.
The majority of tlicm favor trying the w
experiments It is expected by the To- s,
ries that the Marquis of Sulisbury will t<
be reaily by Friday next to accept an
invitation by the Queen to form a pro- w
visional government. It is rumored that S|
Mr. Gladstone intends to entirely ab.'nlon
political life. The Government j|
lave notified the different offices of the ?
nfernal revenue department through jj
,he United Kingdom that the odd?- tj
;ioiial duties on spirits have been aban- r)
loned. n]
Lord Randolph Churchill was asked
.his afternoon if the Conservatives s|
kvould form a government. He an- g,
?wered : 4 Most certainly." Lobby
gossips mention the Marquis of Salisbury
for prime minister. Sir Stafford

filling to take advanatge of the chance V
o resign. The crisis postpones indefi- si

A Ball In a Chiua Shop. ;i|
London, June 10.?The chief diflicu!y
encountered by the Conservatives in ^
heir discussion regarding the formation
f a ministry, says the Pall Mall Qaz- ^
:e!U is the problem what to do with Lord "
laudolph Churchill, lie claims to have ^
lone much in the work of destroying 11
he Liberal government and demands ^
lis share of the spoils. It is apparent 01
hat the older Troy leaders regard him
is troublesome and somewhat danger- w
>us to have around in national circles.
The Pall Mall Gazette intimates that ^
i polite effort will be maye to get rid of
lim. If the Conservatives form

)C requested to go to Ireland, if
?ot to succeed Karl Spencer as lord lieu- ?
enant, then as chief secretary. Tho sort ^
>f tuik which is already being applied n
,o the young leader is something like H
his: '*You certainly prefer duty to r<
nere ambition, therefore you should ac- C1
sept this difficult and dangerous post.
Dare you to accept it ? If you accept. ^
hen, whether you succeed or fail, you
rill at least prove that you possess ^
jreat qualities of intrepidity and self- ^
tacrillce, which are among the- greatest *'
jifts possessed by popular statesmen.'' ^
<ord 1'andolph is very susceptible to ^
lattcry and he might prove a great Irish Cl
coventor. h

London, June 10.?A private deputa- w
ion of Conservative members of Parlia- ^
uent waited upon Sir Stafford Northcoto
ind the Marquis of Salisbury to-day,
ind urged them to refuse office. The *tj
Marquis of Salisbury stated that if the
juecn called them they must form a Q
Government. He would support Sir |(
Stafford Xorthcote as premier, and he t
ixpecU-d that the Queen's commands g<
rould place Sir Stafford in that position. ^
The quietness that has prevailed in
he stock exchange throughout the ^
>resent crisis is traceable to tho public _
P1
jelief that the Conservatives must main- #)
ain for a longth of time a continuity of ^

ivas issued to-night closing Windsor a<
Castle lo the public after to-morrow, al
rhisisasure sign of the advent of the ur
)ucen. As Windsor is only thirty min u
ites by rail from London, the return of
Her Majesty will greatly expedite pub- p
rjj;
ic business at the present crisis. The
Uteen has suiiunoned the Marquis of

bother he is summoned as a reprci?ntativo
of Gladstone or is to be invited

ith the summons ami has not yet

London, June 10.?The Marquis of I
Iartington had arranged to go to Hal- '
loral last evening instead of Gladstone,
ut the plan was abandoned. The fact 1
>at ]Iartington remains in London is
jgarded as an indication of the early '

ccnme a vary serious one. The Ad
linistration has -boon embarrassed and j
indered at cevry turn in making changes

eniocrats who are loudest in compluin?g
that the Administration is too slow. ,
iTcre it to act on tho unprincipled reammendations
these men have made to
, without taking time to investigate, it
'ould become involved in such scandal
lat it would he overwhelmed at the
ill elections.
There are many parallels to the decepons
practised by the Colorado and
lentuckey statemeu which have led to
le revocations of appointments in those
tates. The shotgun Postmaster of
opiah county Mississippi, whose resigation
has been called for bv Mr. Vilas
as foisted upon tho President by Hepisentetivfc
Barksdale. Attorney-Genral
Garland, it is said, was nearly en apped
recently into appointing to ofce
a man for whoso arrest for horse
tealing Mr. Garland, as Governor of Ar
ansas, offered a reward. A remarkale
exposure of an attempt to palm off
n unfit applicant occurred in 'Secretary
tanning's office the other day. A ,
'nited States Senator had in tow a man
onfiruiod in intemperate habits whom ;
u was pushing for an internal revenue
ppointment. A gentleman from the
CU - 1 1 Al. _
lino nuue, wno Knew uie applicant, (
ront to see the Prosident, and laid the
iota before hiin.
MI wish you would lay the facts before '
le Secretary of the Treasury," said
le President.
The gentleman reached the Secretary's
ffice to Hnd the Senator and his bibu- ,
>us friend in consultation with Secreiry
Manning. He called tho latter per- ,
jnage aside and said that tho candidate
'as a drunkard.
"Well" said Mr. Manning, ''you say
ou can substantiatoyour charges. Suposo
wo settle the matter right herei

In another case when* a Treasury ap- *
ointmont was made on the re common- 1
tin lion of several Congressmen, Secretary
Manning learned, after the cominision
had been mailed, that the
appointee had been indicted for quite a
serious offence. A dispatch demanding

the late Marine Dank, was continued toitr.
o lay bofore the referee at the Ludlow
jail on behalf of J ulian S. Davie.*,receiver
of Grant Sc Wa^d, to discover
whether or not any of the tracts of land
mul buildings owned by Mr. Fish were
purchased with money secured from
the defunct finn. Fish was stubborn
and testy. The lirst question was as to
the number of lots owned by Fish in
Chicago. Fish said they were purchased
by him during the past three years,
and lie became angry when asked if
they were purchased with money got
from Urant& Ward. He blurted out:
"Don't ask such damned foolish questions."
When questioned as to his stock operation
with (?rnnt & Ward. Fish answered:
"I ba<l thousands and (thousands of dollars
worth of stock stolon from me/'
lie was very vigorous in his denunciations
of Ward's mining scheme.
"I bought stock in a mine from (irant
A Ward," said the witness, "but it was
a swindle. 1 bought and paid for many
mines which only existed in the imagination
of Ward. I was induced to take
noiu 01 mo warn siueiier, mil uar.i.s
brother told nip they never had u smelter."
IIow about the Mora mine? Witness
was nuked.
"The Mora Mine was one of Buck
Grant's" was the reply. "That was a
damned swindle, too. The individual
next door (Wanlj can give you valuable
information on those things."
To other questions witness only replied:
"Why don't you examine the
gentleman n jxt door?"
"Well" replied counsel, "you issue a
subpoena duces tecum and we will
bring him.
"J?st bring him in and he'll gel a

Fiah, and be looked as if he would carry
his threat into effect.

Bernhardt at Hiiro'* ISior.
From Life, London, May 28.
Ono of the first arrivals at Victor Hugo's
residencs, when hit* death - became
known, was Barah Bernhardt, and the
ipparation of a litho female- figure,
clothed from tip to toe in white, emerging
from a brougham amid forest of
irhite roses and camellias, created ^o
little surprise to the orowd collected
round the gate, as well as to the aorrowing
rel itivos and friends withia^ Doha
Sol had donned for the occasion the traditional
romantic mourning of
Quoena of Prance, and fttyy succeeded^
by her pretentious eccentricity in creat
'-'V \.y. .
ing nil the effect she counted on. This
was thu first theatrical noto struck, hut
it willl swell to a chorus when the pageant
at the Arc do 1' Ktoile, during the
exposure of the coffin, more especially
at night, comes to realize to the full
French iilons of meretricious display.
Yet could be mo e iivertft? to the poet's
love of simplicity than such barbaric
pomp. The "paupers's hearse" on
which, in defence to his written instructions,
his remains are to be earned, will
only ad<l to the sensational impression
It is no secret that the introduction of
such an incongruous feature in the ceremony
has been decided on for this
reason, the contrast between the assumed
humility of the funeral car and tho
splendor of the other details of tho obsequies
being so striking?a good coup

is more Cuhotin-villo than

Brick in Ancient Rome.
[Brick and Tile Review.]
Though an ancient Roman boasted
.hat he hud found Home brick and left it
marble, the former has generally superseded
both marble and all other kind of
stone, and even here in the heart of the
iron industry complaint is tnade that
owing to our sulphurous atmosphere it
costs more to kec;p iron painted and free
from oxidntion than it is worth, and
there are more brick than iron fronts in
our heavy warehouses.
The Greeks though celebrated for
th*?ir work in marble, understand the
value of brick, and did not allow thou
to be used until seasoned for five years,
and their quality certified to by a magistrate.
The Hontans were skilledjnjtheir manfact
lire, and the bricks in the hatha of
Titus and Caracalla have withstood the
"tooth of time" better than the stones
of the Coliseum. They introduced the
manufacture into Kngland and left specimens
of a deep red color well burnt, and
at this date better than those made by
English worken in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth.
The Dutch made better bricks in the
mediaeval ages than the English, and ?
specimens of Holland brick are still
found in some of the old Dutch housea
ot New York. ^
In Asia the industry aeeras to have
boon followed at a time beyond, perhapa, -
tnc stono age, ana cite Chinese gave the
face of their brick the texture of porcelain.
The ancient Peruvians made bricks
so well that a scientific Spaniard thought
there must have been some secret in
their composition, which had beon lost
prior to Spanish occupation.
