His Propositions Modified to Save His Goveramest From llefat-Ra-mors and Specnlallon. Lonixik, April 6. The Cabinet met at noon to-day and remained in ses sion until 2 o'clock. Mr. Gladstono laid before the Ministers his Irish home rule scheme. It is reported that the discussion which followed re sulted in continuing the ministerial opposition to certain feature of the Prem er's proposal. Tho Earl of Kimberly, Secretary for India; Mr. Childers, Home Secretary; Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Mundella, presi dent of the Board of Trade, arc, it is said, as much opposed ns ever to the feature which surrender control of tne customs in Ireland. As Mr. Glad stone remains firm, the Mininters, ru mor says, will resign. SIR II. PONSONBY, private secretary of tho Queen, was sent by her Majesty this afternoon to confer on her behalf with lirdliarting ton, tho leader of tho Whigs in the House of Commons. The interview lasted a long time. Afterwards the Marquis of Salisbury hail a long pri vate conferen c with lrrd Darlington. THK l.lBKItM. nlM'ONKNT of Vr. Gladstone's Irish polirv are steadily increasing their strength and are doing everything within their power to bring about a coalition be tween themselves and tho Conserva tive's under a Liberal leader. Lord Ilartington is at pre'sent the only available man who would be accepta ble to th Tory part of the coalition. MB. GLADSTONE WILL MODIFY HIS TKO-l-OKAIJS. It was slated in the lobby of the House of Commons this evening that Messrs. -Mundella and Clnlilers had resigned their seats in the Cabinet. It was expected that Mtssrs. Fowler, Henenge and Broadhurst would se cede from the government Thursday. The consensus of opinion was that the frresent government was doomed. The atest inlormat on, however, is that tbe Cabinet feud has temporarily abated. Mr. Gladstone modifies his proposals regarding customs con trol by giving the English Par liament the right to veto all fiscal enactments of Ireland providing that an imperial receiver shall collect customs and excise, and making im perial claims the first charges on the revenues. llio malcontents conse quently withheld their resignations. r. GludHtoneistnorouirtily supported in all his proposals by Earl Granville, Earl ltosebery, the Marquis of Upon and Mr. Can pbell ltanneriuan. Sir Farrer llershell does not partic ipate in tho discussion on home rule, but lie upholds tho pro posed land bill,, and lias relieved Mr. Gladstone of drafting the latter scheme. Mr. G adstone is in robust health and good voice and is confident of succiess On Thurxdnv r. Cham berlain will speak after Mr. Gladstone and Lord llartingtotr will move to ad journ. It is reported that l-ord Salis bury has oersuaded Lord Hartington to move tlint tbe House refuse to con sider Mr. Gladstone's bill. A GLOWING THinl'TH TO THK LATE MR. . FORSTkR. Mr Gladstone paid a glowing tribute to the lute W.. E. Foster, in tho llou o of Commons this evening. He spoke of the universal and deep regret that is felt in the less of so worthy a man, and said thut Air. torster had been one of the most distinguished members of the House. Ho was a man worthy to bo remembered, both on account of his public: acts and his fiersonal character, lie hadenrned a ligh place as a legislator .through carrying with great ability, two mens ures oi high importance and complex ity. These were the education and the ballot acts. Mr. Forster, aid the Premier, was a man of uuflinc ing courage. 1 hough a lover ot peace, he was profoundly a tached to the wel- lure and greatness ot Ins country and was acutely sensible to whatever per tained to ita honor. When Mr. Gladstone had finished, Sir IV ichacl Hicks-Beach, the Con servative leader in the House, arose and said : -'After the eloquent eulogy of Mr. Forster just delivered, I can only add that the Conservatives cor dially sympathize in the tribute that has been paid to his memory. We feel that the nation has lost a man of high tourage. great ability am", sincere devotion to his country." The last words uttered by Mr. Forster before his death yesterday were, "No home rule." AN EFFORT TO PREVENT DISRUPTION. The Timr says that a desperate ef fort was made at yesterday's meeti g of theCabinet to prevent adisruption, and that the effort succeeded. Mr. Gladstone consented to eliminate the proposal to yield control of the cus toms t the Irish Parliament. WIIL ABANDON WAR PREPARATIONS. A dispatch from Athens to the Daily TrJrrrai h says that the King of Greece and his ministers have decided to abandon the war preparations, as Prince Alexander has yielded to tho powers. THE nOMS OFFICE will cease to offer rewards for the de tection of criminals or pardons to ac complices who may make confessions, on tbe ground that the principle in volved is wrong and that experience shows that such a course almost in variably fails of its object TBE BIRMINGHAM CAOOOS has issued a circular requesting the various branches of the Liberal federa tion to prepare! for an early meeting in London to fully discuss Mr. Glad stone's Irish proposals. T e Birmingham Pott rays it is au thorized to dent tbe statement that Mr. Chamberlain is treating with the Conservatives with a view of forming a coalition. Mr. Chamberlain, the paper says, will-join no coalition which has for its object the displacement of Mr Gladstone, : for whose genius he baa an unabated respec:t. Until he sees how Mr Gladstone has modified his scheme, Mr. Chamberlain will be unab'e to decicje whether to .support or on what points to oppose him.

Last week K. G. Jones, a commer cial traveler from Philadelphia, who hud offered to pay hix license tax with State coupons which wero refused, was arrested for selling goods without a license. His cose came up for a hearing before tho Hustings Court of this city.
