Tk Premicrstip of England Goes ona Beggars Toar, Gladstone’s Motives for Quitting Report:d to be Profound. Victoria Sends for Information and Meantime Rumor Holds Undis- puted Sway-—A Few Stories, WHAT THE GERMANS SAY, GLADSTONE'S DEFETT, Special Telogram to The Bee. Brruiy, Juoe 11,—German diplomats al lege that one of the causes, and the greateat one, of the rosignation of the Gladstone gov- ernment was the failure of the secret mission of Earl Rosebarry to Berlin, These diplomats now assert that the object of that mission was to secure a reconsideration between Mr, Glad} stone and Prince Bismarck. Another cause is said to be the failure of the Right Hon, Joseph Chamberlain’s recent secret mission to Parls, Mr, Chamberlain’s trip to Paris was, at the time it was made, announced to be simply for pleasure and recreation. Officials in the kaiser's foreign service declare, how aver, that Mr. Chamberlain was sent to the French capital by Gladstone for the the purpose of obtaining from M, De Freycinet, French minister of foreivn affairs, an Anglo-French alliance on Egyptian affaire, This was to be based on unequal shares in the control of the country, the Inglish control to be paramount, what was to te accorded Krance being an embassy from King John of Abya- sinin, the establishment of which in the Khe- dive's dominions and in relation with Hog land would prove counteractiva of Italian de- signs. It is declared that the failure of both these missions groatly discourages Gladstone, who, losing heart at the discovery of what he believes was a deep hostility toward England entertamned by her immediate continental neighbors, suddenly awoke to a keen sense of the failure of his foreign policy, aad concluded to abandon political life. VICTORIA STICKS TO GLADSTONE, LoNDON, June 11, 8 p. m.—The latest re- ports from suthentic rources indicate the eventual appearance of Giladstone in office at the head of & reconstructsd anti-coercian cabinet. Gladstone still wishes to abandon political life and if he changes his mind and continuea at the head of British affairs it will be at the urgent solicitation of the queen, A Iarge number of official telegrams have passed to-day between London and Balmoral, VICTORIA WANTS INFORMATION, The Standard to-day says: The queen has requested Gladstone to transmit to her his views in full on the political crisis, in order that arrangements may be mads to avert an immediate change in the British ministry, It 18 not expected that tha queen will accapt the reeignaticn of the ministers or that any final decision will be reached concerning the question of changing ths government until the queen returns to Windsor castle. The conservatives can do nothing until the queen’s wishes bo made known, and n the meantime it is doubtful if the libaral cabinet can hold together, so great are the differences at present existing between its members, There exists an impression which daily deepens that the Gladstone ministry courted their recent defeat for the purpose of concealing behind its excitement their own dissentions, The statements made since the defeat by some of the liberal members who absented themselves from the vote on the fatal decision show that the government might have saved themselves on that vote if they cared seriously to do so. A BOOM FOR HARTINGTON, 1t is rumored that the marquis of Harting- ton, secretary of state for war, will be asked by the queen to reconstruct the liberal minis- try, Gladstone to retire. SEXTON'S OBSERVATIONS. Thomas Sexton, home ruler member of par- liament for Slivo, was interviewed to-day on the subject of the ministerial crisis, He was of the opinion that the conservatives would copt power in order to utilize the opportu- nity to show the country that they possess more governing faculty than the liberals do. Unless they sieze the present chance of faver- ably impreesing the electors, young tories will find their hair gray beforo they get into o He regarded Lord ~Randolph pow Ditrchill as the man for Trish seototary: Lord Randolph he eaid, had_often shown frendly feeling toward Iteland, and a cavac ity to tako a tolerably fair view of the Irish question, His success or failure would de pend upon whether he would be content to be simply the mouth-piece of the Irish officials, SPECULATIONS AS TO THE OUTCOME. Specia Telegram to The Bre, New Yonk, June 11.—The Sun’s special from London says: Two days and nights bave passed sincs the defeat of the govern ment, and the plans and intentions of the ministry of the opposition and of the queen are as much matters of mystery as the mo- ment_when Gladstone, with wall-simulated surprise, turned pale, clutchod at the air, and glared at the turbufent mob which cu.posed the honse Monday night Things are at a dead- Tock ¢ far as the leaders of the two great par- tios are concerned, through the unwillinguess of the hberals to abandon, and the reluctance of the conservatives to accept the responsibil- itles of offize, The initiative that shall settle the question must come from the outeide; that ia to say, from the queen. Itis now admitted that all depends upon her action, and there is open grumbling at her absence in Scotland at such a crisis, Strong hints are yiven by even the most loyal newspapers that i is her duty to return forthwith to London, or to Windsor, in view of tho great dolay likely to be cused by her absence, The house of com- nions had to be adjourned for three days in- stead of one, because the queen was five hundred miles away, Every statesman whom sho desires to seo and use (doubtless she will find a necessity for consulting with soveral of them) must make an il day journey to wait upon her, and they cannot ali be sumoned at once, bLut ‘each must wait until his predecessor’s audieuce is finished, All this greatly prolong the existing condition of chsos in which country is runuing itsslf, With practioally no government in existence, it must sorely and unnec esarily tax the patience of the peo plo, who long to see the crisis ended one way or another. Tt must unsettle values and de range business aud must bring confusion into thousauds of administeative details, which are left at loose ends, 1t is generally believed at this moment that the queen will advise the present ministry to remsn in office until the queen an untoward customer, who will | insies on being given cogeat reasons for their | proposad action and even then will refuse to accept their resignations, CONTINENTAL OPINION, | Pams, June 1L.—The political crisis in | British affairs strengthens the belief generally entertained hece that the international Suez canal commission will dissolve without reach 10g any decision in rezard to clause 10 fiknta, June 11~ Genersl opinion i8 that the fall of Gladstone will tend to closer friendship between England and Germany, 81, PRrRRSOURG, June 11,—T¢ 1s generally believed here that Gladstone's retirement from the management of British affaira will not affect the settlement of the Afghan ques- tion. * Loxnox, June 11,—The Daily News this morning expreesed the hope that the cabinet will persist in resigning, adding that a few months of tory rule will inmre liberal . tri- amph in the ceneral election, and will be bet- ter than fifty discourses on the superiority of liberal principlos, FRIGHTUL CALAMITY, A PANIC IN A COURT HOUSE IN FBANCE, ~ Pants, June 11.—At Thiers, a town in the department of Payde dome, a murder trial has heen in progress for some days, Yoster- day was the last day of the trial and the court honee was crowded with men and women, anxious to witness the closing scenes, When the people were leaving, immediately after the adjournment of court, and were jammed upon the stoue stairway leading to the stroet, the lofty staircass fell.

Haines replied humorously, re- ferring to the agricultural calling of West and declared the smelling committee had his (Halnes) leave to smell all they desired, The people were not vere anxious about it anyhow and the only institution the loser was the state treasury, This was greeted with _laughter, which evidently _set tled West, who excitedly said he didn’t want to take up the valuable time, but hoped before the session ended to be able to show up Haines in his true colors, [lmnfihur and ap- {:ln\m-,] Hatnes then said he thought every- ody knew that hn [Haines] was an honost rgeiculturist like West and suggested that the thing had better be settled rla?: away, ‘“‘Let us go to an ante-room, and settle it,” hesaid.

He lsa Scotch collle dog, known as ‘‘Dorsey,” and he is employed as special mall car- rler over the star route between the town of Calico and tho mines at Bismarck, some three miles dlstant. “‘Star Route Dorasey,” as the boys call the dog, Is the property of the brothers Stacy, who own a store at the m:'nes, and another at Calico. There is no postoffice at the mine and no mail wervice, and were it not for the intelligence of Dorsey the fifty odd miners at Bismarck would have to walt for a week for newas of the out- side world. But every day, as the stage from Daggett drives up to Stacy’s store at Calleco, Dorsey is on hand, walting fcr his mail-poach to be filled, and as soon as it 1= strapped on his back off’ he goes slong the rocky trall to Bismarck, ata galt which briogs the mall thers twenty minutes after the stage stops a Callco. Dorscy, as goon as ho arrives a Blemarck, goes straight to Stacy’s store and untll the pouchis taken off wil allow no one but his master to come near him, When the mall is removed he goes off to have a time with the Bls- marck dogs and enjoy himself, only re- tarning to the store at meal time. He sleaps at Blsmarck, and after breakfast every day, he gets the mall for Calico from Stacy and takes it to Callico. There is nothing very remarkable about carrying a mail-pouch three mitles and back every day; but Dorsey is a wonderful dog, and the more he Is watched the more wonderful things found ouf about him, There are three trails between the mine and Calico and Dorsey makes it a rule never to take the same one twice running, though one ls much better than the others. The minors eay that Dorsey fears an ambuscade, but whatever his reason 1t 15 a well-defined one, for once, when he used a trail he had taken the day before, he was ob- served to hesltate In doubt whether to retrace his steps or not, and finally to make a break across a fearfully rough country to the other trall. When Dor- sey has the mail he will allow no one to touch him, and will run from any dog in the camp; but woe be to the dog that annoys Dorsey on duty, for Dorsey, when relleved of his load, will surely get even, and he is not afraid of any dog in the district. The miners all say that Dorsey can tell the time, for he never hasto be called, and just before mail time will go up to Stacy and bother him till he gets his letters. 1f no letters are glven to him at the usual hour, he does not wait around, but goes off to Calico, where he spends the day, A couple of weeks ago Dorsey was paying some little attention to a female canine friend at Calico, He had s rival, who took advan. tage of Dorsey’s absence to Ingratiate himself with Dorsey’s flame. But It ap- pears that Dorsey had made calculations for something of the kind, and when the mail was removed at Blsmarck he dashed back to Calico fer the first time since he has been on the route. Hls hated rival, secure in Dorsey’s supposed absence, was making the most of his time, when Dor- eey appeared on the scene and 1 terally tore his ears off, The miners at Biemarck have had Dorsey photographed, and have presented him with a soft leather pouch, which goes over his back like a saddle, and is very convenient for the dog to carry. Dorsey’s welght In gold would not buy him from his rough, kind friends, ——— Blanche Veds in a Law Suit, Niw YORK, June 10,—The trial of the suit of Amanda Delphine, formerly known to the stage as Blanche Veda, against Jacsb R.
