MR. GLADSTONE'S EFFORTS TO FORM A
CABINET.

CUAHCia OF BOM! RUM.
?m CA11I.E TO T11R TKIHtsr. 1
LonpoN, Jan. 80.?Lord Salisbury's Government
have pani tho penalty of their faltering Irish
policy. The belief is general that they would ."-till
fet in ottos if they had announced in the (Queen's
Breech the measures which they announced in tho
Homo eta Tuesday. The Liberate "Bade a good use
cf the interval. Tarty spirit ran daily higher. Tho
Libera! leaden down to Monday WON anxiously
routining means to prevent tho carrying of Mr.
Collings*! amendment The knowledge thal the
Ministry had resolved to produce new Irish meas?
ures without waiting foi Mi. Smith's report changed
their plans. Then was danger that the House
would support the QoTernmeni The feeling about
the lawless condition of Ireland waa strong enough
to secure a largl vote for tho bill to restore the
reign of tow. Ti.e Government, if heaton in thc
1 Ioum-. could appeal to the country as the cham?
pions of Imperial unity. They would fall In an
endeavor to maintain public order in Inland.
ller.ro tho Liberals determined to turn them out on
a minor issue. A truce was pitched up between
Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Chamberlain. Mr. Collings'!
amendment expressed regret that the Queen's
Speech promised no relief to the agricultural
laborer ami Offend no facilities for acquiring allot?
ments and small holdings of lamb 'jins is yarlia
mentary language for " three acres and a cow."
fha paetaje of the amendment would redeem iu
?nmerable electoral promises and eonflrm Hodge's
loyalty to thc Liberal party. Mr. Gladstone has
denounced during the campaign similar proposals,
hut accepted this. It now became, as Mr. Goschen
rcprjachftilly and Mr. Chamberlain exultingly said,
part of the authorised Liberal programme.
licfore the debate began sir Michael Iheks-l'.each
announced that tho Government would on Thurs?
day introduce bills to suppress the National League
lo atop boycotting; and to protect life and property
in Ireland. Ho endeavored vainly to postpone a
icc sive vote till those measures should bo before
the House. The Liberals refused to loosen their
grip on tl)^ Ir enemies' throat. Mr. Gladstone's
speech secured tho adhesion of the rank and Bte of
the party. Ur. Goechen's croton passed unheeded.
Loal Hartington separated himself, perhaps finally,
from Mr. Gladstone. Some Liberals veted with
him against Mr. Collings'! amendment; many mon
abstained from the division ; but tho amendment was
carried hy a majority of 7'.'. The ParnellitOB voted
lolil against the Government. The v. ti. la
theirs.
The Ministry promptly rosigued. Lord Balis*
bary's journey to Osborne, where the Queen D
in remaining, give rise to rumors that she tried to
persuade him to stake another attempt to carry on
tho Government This is probable enough. Tue
Queen's aversion ^to Mr. Gladstone as Ti uno Minis?
ter, always Strong, is gnater than ever now that he
?aansjej ottos aa Mr. Parnell's nominee. The Lib?
eral papen ar- disposed to complain thal the Queen
is straining her Constitutional powers, which is
nonsense Every retiring Minister explains to the
I rei?n the nason! winch compel hi! r
tim. Lord Salisbury doubtless toldheith.it no?
body but Mr. Gladstone could form a new Govern?
ment
I IBKHAl COM rm nc a
The summons reached Mr. Gladstone late leal
night. It is supposed thatheaees to Osborne to?
day. I" tho msaatime hourly consultation! have
hoes held for turee days pas! with end among bia
lenser colleagues, No ace. mut of what ls pi
ins can be anything but conjectural. Certain
things an t ik n for granted. It is not believed
that Loni Hartington ?:11 join Mr. Gladi
Ministry. The open br. a b long postpone 1 between
the Whigs and tbs Radicals appears to have ar
rived. Mr. Chamberlain a month since had resolved
never to acquiesce in Home Rule sad aevei ag
to serve uudei Mr. Gladstone: but Having converted
the Liberal leader to his ag. an rn policy ami got rid
ol the Whigs, the Radical leader is content to re
annie his place under the old umbrella Mr.
Goschen'* abstention is certain i sir iie:>t\ James's
abstention ts probable: Lord Spencer,Mr.Trevel
yan, ami I.ord Derby ar- doubtful. The only
strong meoihers of the old Cabinet who an certain
to jo.n the next Cabinet an Lord Granville, Mi.
Chuinbe lain, sir William Harcourt Lord Rose
aery, and Sir Charles Dilke, ii the ti ia! next week
results favorably.
Efforte will be made to enlist the support ofthe
Moderat * by avoiding definite proposals for linne
rule. Mr. Gladstone like Mr. Disraeli will
educate his party and explain to Mr. Par*
nell th.it the process of conversion require*;
time. Only a lew wicks have elapsed
ames the whole country pronounced against home
rule, u is hoped that Mr. Parnell, if ha be allowed
? gove*.u Ireland as he likes meanwhile through
thc National League, will wait.
.\-r; eta ot HOMI RULE.
Parnell'sdailj organ in Dublin bas already inti?
mated that mme effort taneeessary. With a view
to ann Ulai!) English opinion the League
Will abstain (et the present from the more
enid lofuTas of boyeotttag and prove they
can and will do whatever is leeaatary
to preserve absolute order. This journal forgets
tami each an avowal te regarded in England as an
admission of lespousibihty for the existing system
of intimidation, its claim that tho right of tin
League tortile Ireland is constitutional is uotoI in
*iew of constitutional law.
tonally humorous from the Irish point of view
Is thc New-York dispatch explaining that every?
body in America favors home rule for Ireland on
apian similar to the relation between the States
and the Federal Government. Mr. 1'urucll and
?very leading Home Ruler long since repudiated
Home Rule on the American pattern. Tiny insist
00 an independent Irish Legislature with absolute
Jurisdiction on most subjects, which the Constitu?
te prohibit* to Htato Legislatures.
The trntb ta that the Irish .party havo wi,
? great triumph and made a great advance to.
**Td separation^ which is their avowed aim :
RQt a long^'wad remains to be travelled. Mr.
Otodltoue'B Cabinet is yet to be formed; its
g*j*Policy ta yet to be adopted; a majority in the
House of \ Commons has yet to be secured ;
?I House of Lords and the country
yst to he reckoned with. Thc
?? ejuestion still presses for solution.
Ko man bru yet propose 1 a workable scheme, either
American or otherwise. PoUtieal negotiations be?
tween Mr,Gladstone and Mr. Parnell are conducted
indirectly. The Irish believe thal an agreement ia
Within eight The one thing certain is that no
Liberal Ministry eau command emajorit] of the
present bouse unless it does Mr. Parnell's bidding.

The steamship Bervia, of the Cunard Lduef
left her pier about 2:40 yesterday afteruipon
and proceeded slowly down the North lti-rer.
Siio had HU cabin and a number of steer?
age paesciUPfO on board, most of whom
Were on deck taking a look al tuo etty they were leav.
hil', through the blinding snow vt bleb was falling thick
and fast over the river. Hilo bad not gone far when sud?
denly there appeared richt before lier the huge hull
of the lied star steamer Numil.md,which had backed out
fruin Inr pier at Jersey City, ami was swinging around
so as to head (town Stream. Thc captain and pilot wero
both on tho bridge, and ipilck as thought they sang
out to tho quartermaster at the wheel:
" Hard a-starboard." Hut it wns too late, aud
JUM as the servut began to iaSWOT her helm she crashed
Into tbe starboard quarter Of the Noordland and cut a
great v leaped gash lu her turtleback, also starting ber
malu deck aft. There were lOOpaeeengen in nil on Hie
Noordland, aud great confusion reigned for a tow mo?
ments among tue passengers on bo'li ships.
Hut lt was only for a few iiioiinnts, for tho Dilkera of
beth raeeets MOO saw that there was no serious da inure
done, iti.,1 beth swinging apart, tho Hervla preceded down
stream wldle a score of ttiL-s surrounded tho Noordlanil
and escorted her back to her pier. Then tho passengers
who had hastily buckled on Ufo pr. -erv. rs |UMSt of them
hind side befnrei took them oft and oalniod themselves.
The steamship Baltic of tim inman LUM had sailed lust
beforo these two steamers loft their piers, and tho roprO
M-uiativo ot Patel Wright A- BOBS, ag. nts tot both the
Ked BiSf and tl.eluim.n lines, linmcdialely Mal a lag
after her to tell her to stop. Tho tug caught the H.title
at tin- Nirrows aud abo anchored lo liruvesond Hay to
nwall further orders. The damage to tho Noordland
vaaao great that ll *-as Scolded not tossed her to see
ami in the evening tho steamer William Fletcher came
Up and taking en boord part Of her passengers carried
them dewe to the walting iisitic, walsh then went to
va. The majority of tho passengers preferred to walt
for another Ked star staaaser.
Tbe Servla, which anchored otr Uedlow's Island, had
the ganges around her baweoptpo broken and two of ber
bowplatea ou the starboard able store In so that Ughm
Inside the ship could be seen through tho breaks. lue
plates were over, Mventoea feet above the water-line,
however, and the bolts were not started. All Bight men
wara at work repalriagtha damage and aha will ba in a
condllion to go to sea at hlgtl water this morning. It
will take ten days to put the Noordland in condition.
When tim plot on tho bridge of thc
Psrvla saw tho Noordlaud ahead of ; hun
ho blew one whistle, meaning that tho
Ben ia would go to starboard or ahead of ttio Meordland,
The signal was not answered for several seconds and
then the Nour Hand blew two whlstles,|iu<-.viltig that the
tho BerVM should go to port, or nuder tho

BtRACCSR. Jan. :i() (N/hc/h/'.?The trial of tho

by a tilt bet WW ii Congressman Hlscoek, counsel for the
creditors, aud Colonel Chamberlain, atiornoy for tho
Wilkensons. Thc counsel began to discuss matters of an
extraneous character, when they were stopped by Jus?
tice Williams, who ordered the discussion
to bo stricken out of the minutes of tho
court. Coloucl Chamberlain, attorney for
Johu Wilkinson of Chicago, to whom the Ulobo Hotel
property aud the Jumes-st. bouse were deeded, testified
that he had Collected the rents of the Globe Block since
Hie Wilkinson failure and had paid tbe taxes, Insurance
and repair account of tho property, and bad sent
fl,r,<io by drafts to John Wilkinson lu Chicago.
When ho went to New-York to seo Crosby, of that city,
about tho mortgage bo believed tho Wilkinsons to bo
wholly solvent. He did not know that tho ttrm was cm
barraased until he was consulted about drawing its
assignment.
" 1 appear in these actions," said Colonel Chamber?
lain, " for John Wilkinson."
?? Where ts bo i" ?abed Mr. iiiscock.
" 1 don't know where ho la" was tho reply, bat I un?
derstand that he is In town. I don't know whero he la."
"Now, there ls another mysterious thing about this
case," began Mr. Marshall, attorney for tho Wilkinsons,
" that is, tho plalutitl'e principal point."
" .Now, I submit, your Honor," Haul the Congressman,
" that their side remark - aro not in order. It te fsr from
right to make a laughing matter out of these Ward and
Wilkinson.' robberies, and the gentlemen should havo
more modesty about them than to confront euell a rub?
bery with fun and laughter."
Justice Williams said: "Gentlemen, T cannot tpermit
thin ta,k. lt ls doing no good, lt bas no effect whatever
on me, and we have no Jury. If lt ls not stopped I abai!
adjourn over till Monday."
?That's Just what they want," said the Congressman.
Mr. Chamberlain testitled that be w< ut to New-York to
SSSUTS Mr. Crosby of tbe title of the property and of its
value. Ho thou stated that tho tiyracuso Iron Works
WM pat into the hand., of the receiver by Congressman
Hl-cock's firm.
" I submit, your Honor," said the Congressman, " that
this man bas drugged my name into this affair, aud by
so doini: attempts to shield himself."
" If you say that, Mr. lllseock." said Colonel Cham?
berlain, -'.miling up, "you say that which ls not
true.''
" You called me to your office, Colonel Chamberlain,
toad a* your counsel," said Mr. Hlscoek.
" I think we have had enough or tills talk," remarked
the Justice, " aud tho stenographer may strike out all
talk that relates to the Iron works or this subsequent
talk." Alfred Wilkinson, Jr.. son of ono of ttnj insolvent
men, testiu.d that there wen: several valuable paintings
lu lils father's and his uncle's lome, uno by Eastman
Johnson was p irtleularly valuable. Conrad Loos, one o'
tuc depositors In the urnken batik, said that he bust acon
versatloa with Alfred Wilkinson In regard to iiUproperty
lu 18D l, after .May B aud prloi to l> ccmber tf. " Alfred
came into my store," said Mr. Loos, "and I

"Al "Smith lent tho moral effect nf his presence and

gave aid and comfort to Schaefer.
The scalos were produe<-d and the katta stito weighed

tho basis for un argument and al Kl I o'clock the

ami started In with a run of twenty-six, most of which
were gathered in at the lower end of the table. At
Schaefer's opening shot hts friends and his backers
broke falte uproarious applause. He ran seventeen and
then the red bell interfered with his < adulations by
kl-sitig thc spot ball out of tho way. Vlgnnux waa
getting Into position for play when his coatslceve
touched tho red ball. Tho watchful eye of the referee
caught the foul, and tho unlucky tart If et was eoui
pelled to seek the retirement of his armchair, whereat
tho Schaefer faction In tho gallery rejoiced and clapped
mightily. Their favortte gained utile by the advan

Tho Frenchman returned to the chirgo and collected
fifteen points from all over thc tallie. Tnen he
bunked for thc next, tho cuo ball swervd

a run of twenty-"!* points by makin, his tirst balk, tho
last two shots hoing made without get?

ninety-third shot put hi-'i on a level with his opponent
for the evening's play, and as ha

short review of the game shows that Schaefer has mela
the three largest runs?1*0, 178 and 168. Vlgnaat'a
highest were 113 aud 137. The Pranehaseu
has four times been shut off on fouls or
balks, while tho American met with only two misfort?
