[ New York Herald Cable [ Special to the BiE.JMany : difficul ties have arisen In constructing the new ministry , the adjustment of personal claims being a woik of peculiar delicacy at this mo ment. When Mr. Gladstone frames n cabi net he consults his own wishes exclusively , but Loid Salisbury does not exerci.se the same degice of freedom. Lord Randolph Chuichlll must bo conslcleied. lie Is the sort of man wlio will have his own way. Clearly this cabinet is largely of his making , for nls personal friends are all in good positions. TIIIV ; Ann ciiunciiii.i..s KIIIKNDS. The astonishing preferment of Henry Matthews Is entirely dun to Lord Itandolph. No one else , outside of leg.il circles , knows Matthews , who takes n foremost position In the cabinet nnd nn olllce worth 5,000 n ycar nt a bound. Cecil ISalkcs , long and unjustly neglected , receives recognition of his ser vices. Italkes , an nblo man and n good de bater , somehow got shunted. At last ho has been put on thu track again by Churchill. Loid Iddesleigh is doubtless Salisbury's choice. Nearly nil the rest of the appoint ments were evidently prompted by the youn ger leaders. HI.UCTEI : : > CANDIDATES MAD. Necessarily there Is much bitterness and heart burning among those left out in tlio cold. Indications of this bri'ak ' out in letters to the Times sncciing at Churchill and deure- catlng his appointment as leader of the house. Old conservatives generally look upon him as an infant terrible , self-willed , hot-tempered and dangerous , and likely to end bv splitting ui > the party as Gladstone has his. They looic very miserable and pre dict evil things. This Is by no means the view of tlio younger members , who sec in Churchill the only man who dared to tackle Gladstone. They are tired of old hacks and understand Churchill's popularity with the masses. It is certain that Churchill is the only man on the conservative side whom Gladstone really fears. Ills pungent sar casms and ( iiiick repartee seem ito have a peculiarly exasperating effect on the old man. SOMI ) WITH TUB X.I1IKIIAI.S. On the other hand , Churchill Is on singu larly friendly terms , personally , with Cham berlain , so that there Is no chanca of his fall ing out with the liberals. My opinion is that his assumption of the leadership of tlio house will strengthen his party nt first. Tlio subsequent result must depend on his own conduct. At present ho rules the roost. Cross' carriage stops the way , but In the course of a few hours It will go on again. It Is no great secret that Churchill and Cross are not entirely congenial spirits. If now blood Is required In the cabinet some OI.U STAOUIIS .MUST 1IU SHKI.VKD , Smith taken care of , Manners dealt gently with , and Iddlcslclgh placed on velvet. It Is perhaps thought that concessions enough have been made to men of Disraeli's genera tion. When the under secretaries are ap pointed you will probably find several new names on the list. The government Is being constituted under the belief that it has a long term of olllco belore It , and , barring acci dents , 1 do not sco how this belief can fall to turn out correct. In this respect I cannot ngreo wltn thu opinions expressed by f your oilier correspondents. Look cnrefully I- at the situation. Thu conservatives outnum ber both divisions of the liberals. They only need twenty votes , or abstentions from any quarter , to possess a majority of tlio whole house. It is AN i DM : niiEAM to suppose that both the liberal sections will combine witli the Parnellilcs to produce another general election In hopes of reinstate ing Gladstone. Kccollcct that Gladstone has given deep and lasting offense to many ot his old supporters. Ho lias gone out of his way to cast n deadly Insult upon Chamber lain , Colllngs , Trovelyan , Courtonay and others. They will neither forget nor forgive. Last February they helped to put him In olllce , but are now bitterly determined not to fall again Into any of Ids traps. They hayo have a severe task nnd they don't want a similar dosu just yet. Itecollect also that most of the Gladstonlaus who saved their Boats have had A Tinillllll.K SltAKINn UP. Consequently they have lost their belief In the magic power of their chief , Nobody an persuade them now that Gladstone Is abso lutely sure to carry the country with him In .iiiy measure ho choses to propose. These measures , therefore , will light shy of any at tempt , however dexterously concealed , to upset the conservatives. Lastly , recollect tlm important fact that the myth of Iho Parnolllto chip of foity or fifty F.ngllsh boroughs Is quite exploded. When O'Connor made that boast In the house 1 felt bound to report II would Inevitably do his party great Injury , nnd tnnt the Kngllsh worklngmon In these constituencies would bo sure to resent the bold assertion that Parnell carried them lu hia pocket , TUB 1'KKIIICTIOX JU&TII'IKD. Events have amply justified Oils prcdlo tlon , The threatened members wont to their constituents and said , "Aro. you freemen , or aw you the slaves of O'Connor & Co.V" "What was the result' ? Nearly all of them were sent back to Westminster , whllo O'Con nor Is left to meditate on the old proveib ; "First catch your hate and Hum cook U. " Looking nt these clicumstanccs , what con clusion Is possible except that tlm conserva tives will remain in power at least until Gladstone disappears from the scene. His own followers would dread another election more than any other section ot the house , mid the country would heavily punish am party which forced It on. My experience- pretty extensive In recent elections con vinces me that the people are exceedingly AXUIIV wmr ai.AD6TONU for throwing business Into confusion by dls solving parliament. Anybody who icpnat- the exiHirlment will rue tlio day. Whllt ! fi Gladstone lives the conservatives and tht bull : of thu liberal-unionists will hold to- pother froui nu'ru diead of seeing him In power again. In the course of ualure it I. live long ctiousli to recover rom Oils knock-down blow. Whether any- ) ody else will have the courage to propose the > ills which brought him to disaster lomalns o be seen. Ireland will receive fair play nnd oeal government , but all concessions short of llndstono's would bo contemptuously refused usl now. The National league made war ijuni many who held liberal views In Irish nllolrs because they refused to vole for Glad- tone's measure.

A MI.MIIIU : : or PAH I.IA.MUNT. M'CAHTHY ON MATTHEWS. V llacy Sketch of the Now Homo Seuretary. LONDON , July 31 [ New York Herald Cable Special to the Up.E.J Your readersmay be > erhans some what astonished when 1 say that ho appointment of the home secretary In Salisbury's new government Is the political 'act which at present has the most Interest fur me. It has , Indeed , quite a curious inter est for Irishmen living In London. The new lomo secretary Is Henry Matthews , the dis tinguished advocate and queen's counsel , who was leader In thu case against Dllko , and who was iltlless in hh cross-examination and remorse , ess in Ids denunciation of the great radical whom falo had put at his mercy. Whllo Mallhews was denouncing Dllkc , the minds of some of his listeners went back to another case in tlio nature of divorce , which was icardniaiiy years ago , and In wlilch Mr. Matthews had a different part. That , how ever , Is not the subject to which 1 wish to df- rcct attention. COXCEIININO MATTHEWS. Henry Matthews is an English Catholic and a strong conservative , but ho was not al ways a conservative , as far as Irish politics are concerned. Many years ago he sat In the liouse of commons as member for Dungarvan , Ireland. How did an English conservative : et in for DungarvanV Marry I How but by talking most ardent nationalism ; something , indeed , very like fenlanism. The fenlan re bellion was just over and the country still seething with Its emotion when Matthews rushed across from the Temple , presented iiimsclf as an Englishman devoted In his sympathies to the Irish people , talked In Blowing phrases of some of the Imprisoned i'enlan leaders , quite outshone the Irish lib eral who was supposed to bo the favorite.and , In uolnt of fact , succeeded in becoming mem ber for Dnngarvan. HOW HE WAS ELECTED. There was certainly a novel written some time after in which , 1 am much inclined to think , Henry Matliews was described , nnaer the name Hainllicar Halbart , ns n mlddlc-nzed English barrister who , despairing of n scat for nn English constituency , nnd hearing that some Irish member was not very popu lar with his constituents , sent for n bundle of Irish nationalist papers nnd read himself well up In fen Ian. went to the tem ple library and studied several books : ibout Ireland , nnd then rushed over to Ire- Innd jind presented himself ns a candidate. tie vaguely hinted at a plebiscite , nnd darkly suggested that the wrongs of Ireland would have bcon set right long ago , if it had not been for certain Irishmen who , although natural representatives of the great cause , had chosen to make it subservient to social position in London , nud the patriotic Emilo of a minister.HE HE WAS QUITE ItKlHT. Here , let mo remark in passing , Hamillear Hnlbert was quitu right , Mr. Ilnlbort justl- lled fenlanism by all the rights of national freedom and swept half tlio population of the county along with him by the emphatic dec laration : "Wero I not an Englishman I do not blush to say I shonldba afenian. " Well , In these days the people of Ireland were rather sick and ashamed of Irish patriots who only went into the house of commons for the sake of Retting a place or being welcomed In London society. Haluort , very likely , appeared an attractive change. Anyhow , Henry Matthews suc ceeded In being elected to the house of com mons , and Ironi that moment nothing more was heard of ids sympathy with tlio national sentiment of the Irish people. Therefore Matthews was not ro-elccted for Dungarvan when that constituency next got n clmnco of expressing its opinion , and from that time until the late elections little or nothing was known in politics of him. In tlio late elec tions HE TIUED HIS T.UCIC AOAIN , got In for one of the divisions of Birming ham , and now Is suddenly lifted Into one of the most Important positions in the govern ment and becomes a cab'.nct minister. A more sudden , unexpected and extraordinary elevation has not been known In my time. A man of undoubtedly great ability , elo quence , encrgy'niid force ot character , whoso career yet must , up to the last election , have , lor one reason or another , been pronounced a failure , becomes at once a member of par liament , member of the cabinet , and homo secretary , CHUUCIIITJ , nu > IT. Lord Itandolph Churchill , ppoplo say made tlm acquaintance of Matthews during the Birmingham election and was much Im pressed by his ability and audacity. So far as capacity goes , I should think Matthews will justify the appointment. Hut his has been a curious career. The poor and tolling man of''In Memorlam" asks : "Does my old friend remumbor moV" Perhaps some fenlan exile from Dungarvati may even now bo asking : "Does my old friend Mat thews remember moV" THE I.OIIU I.IEUTEXAST. Of the now lord lieutenant , Lord London derry , I know next to nothing personally. I met him lately at a dinner , but have no par ticular recollection of anything ho said , 1 know ho once counted the votes of the homo rulers , wFien standing for an Ulster constitu ency , before ho succeeded to his title , but I do not lay much stress on that fact except toi the ill-omen of Ids descent from Cnstlereagh of the Union CaMlercagh whom liyron biandod with such derision , There Is noth Ing to bo said against him If there Is nothing lobe said for him. AN Ol'lVIOK ON HICKS-BEACH , Sir Michael Hicks-Heach was Irish score ary once before and trot through the routine work respectably , lie IE n man still young tall , handsome , niLiblo , cold and unimpres sive. He has not on.o ray of Imagination one gleam of genial sympathy , but may be trusted to bo always polite , always attentive to business , always willing to oblige. In short , ho Is merely a respectable mediocrity Ho was a failure- the conservative leade in thu homo of commons. Lord Itandolpl would not suhuilt to him any more , so he 1 sent lo try Ids hand n second Omci In Ireland It does not mailer at all. Hlcks-Bcach wil bo 0.1 well as another.

AIJOUT SAMSntmV'S OAtJlXKT. Men of Hcfljtectahle Mediocrity Lord ' Ohtirchil'i Not a Heavy-Weight. LONDON , July 31. ( New York Herald Cable-Special lo llio DEE. ] The work of cabinet-making Is almost done , Lord Sails- mry's choice of lieutenants must bo n dlsap- lolnlment to the rabid Orange section , bo ar no representatives of the grand lodges lave been given places , so thai the brothor- lood has reason to feel angry with tlio llrl- Ish allies. Salisbury Is evidently aiming to easiuro the country by selecting men of uodcrato views nnd wltli some business capa city. The ciunni of the tory party has al ready been nominated , but the strictest eclec- .Iclsm has failed to produce a really strong covcriimcnt. The now cabinet Is rich In titles jut somewhat weak In intellect. The refusal of Ihe unionists to take olllce with Salisbury compelled the tory chief to 1111 his govern- iient with respectable mediocrities. With the exception of Salisbury and Churchill there nro no men In the new cabinet whoso names carry any serious weight In the country. Whether Churchill's elevation to the leader ship of the commons will bring strength to : ho tory government depends totally on the policy the lories arc prepared to adopt. If : he old line of conservative bo followed the days of the government are already mini- jcied. Hartington dislikes and distrusts Churchill's tory-radlcallsin oven more than ho docs Chamberlain's Hansom- radicalism , nnd It Is not likely lo pull In the same boat for any length of lime the young gentleman , who by turns is nn orange man or homo ruler , as best suits Ids purpose. In all probability Hartlngton and his unionist friend will sutler a startling surprise ono of Oieso days. Churchill notori ously molds himself on Disra'liand means to liold power by rapid political evolutions. Ho means to dish the liberals bv becoming on occasions more radical than tlio radicals themselves. It was ho ciilelly who organized the alliance with the homo rulers last year in the hope that with their aid ho might climb Into power and OUST THE OM ) FOGIES of his own party whom nt heart he despises. Now that the unionists have placed him in power on n somewhat shaky pedestal , ho will not be slow to discover that his old allies hnvo votes enough to keep him in power on n solid basis. Alieady this fact seems to bo working Its way into the dull noddles of the London tory editors and as a consequence their ferocity , like Hob Acres' courage , be gins to ooze out of their lingers' ends. Homo rule they still anathematize , but a broad , comprehensive local government for Ireland replaces their twenty years of coercion in their editorial suggestions. The fact is , nil men begin to see that unless Ireland Is con ciliated and contented no stable government Is possible In England for years. To this feeling is joined the belief that Churchill will once again "jump Jim Crow , " and abandonIng - Ing his Orange friends make a bold bid for Irish support In a large measure ot home rule disguised under the name of local govern ment. Lord Salisbury , notwithstanding his tall talk , is a TIMID CIIEATUIIE IN ACTION and almost wholly dependent on Churchill who is a greater fovorito than his leader , botli in the commons and in the country. The tory leader must therefore consent to bo lead by his lieutlinant or go to the wall himself. Churchill is likely to bo encouraged to at tempt a bold settlement of the Irish question by the fact that ho will bo supported in carry ing out a satisfactory settlement both by Gladstone and Parnell. This support would make him absolutely Independent of the orange and old fogy sections of the conserva tive party and secure him A SHAKE WITH DLADSTOXK In the glory of having ellcctcd a settlement of the long standing dlsnuto between Ire land and Great Britlan. Wo have already known that the torlcs have made up their minds to deal with the Irish question in tlio lirst Icgl&lativo session. They want , however , the enjoyment of six months' olllco' to enable them to docldo on what lines to attempt It. Tills is tlielr lirst stumbling block , because the liberal opposi tion may consider that the torles should make up their minds by October and even should now bo In a position to map out the main lines of their policy. The Irish party will probably take the same view unless a very clear assurance of the conduct of the government towards Ireland Is publicly given. BIO FAT.I.IN IMHCES. The rent question in Ireland this winter Is likely to prove troublesome owing to the ex traordinary fall of the prices of produce. Fanners who nro selling butter at 4 ponce and 5 ponce n pound which last year brought 12 and 15 pence are asking how they are to pay rents based on higher prices. The same conditions apply to the cattle industry , graziers finding they have to Bell Oieir fatted stock at prices considerably lower than what they paid for the young beasts thrco or four months ago. This economics difficulty no "higli-falutcr" talk about law and order can settle , and should the government attempt to enforce the I'AYMENT OF ISU'OSSIIILE HUNTS , thu'ro will ben stormy winter in Ireland. For this grave reason there Is probably a strong disinclination to leave the tory gov eminent entirely unchecked 'all tlio winter , unless very serious pledges are given by Lord Salisbury that a moderate conciliatory policy will bo pursued. This consideration , pointed with the threatening aspect of the eastern question , will make the liberals very loth to ngrco to a prorogation of the com mons In February. Gladstone , J believe , Is strongly opposed to leaving the tory govcrnuieut so long free from parliamentary control , and it Is not likely that any largo nuinbor of unionists liberals would van- ture to vote in favor of giving tlio torles nn absolutely free hand Jir nearly seven months. 1 am pretty certain that Gladstone and his followers will not postpone the meeting of parliament bnyond October. If the torles llko to make a trial of thelf strcnath on tht. question they may come to earlier grief. JAMES O'Kui.LY. ntUSSIAN POLITICS. A Sharp Lookout 1'or Jtiissla 1'ro- paring Tor ISiiierccnuioa.

It seems ho celebrates mass in his private chapel at 0 a. m. At 7 a. m. he takes breakfast , consisting of choco late and milk , with sometimes raw eirgs beaten up In It. Immediately after breakfast he receives visits from members of his court. Cardinal Jacoblnl reports to film what has occurred in the world.and gives him an ac count of the letters received on papal busi ness. Besides these official letters , others ar rive in great numbers from all parts of the world Irom priests , missionaries , monks and nuns. Some contain money from penitents. Many are petitions for , blessings , pecuniary aid or advice. After these letters , written in all languages , bavcbscn translated and their contents briefly reported to the pope , they are placed In the popal archives. Hundreds of telegrams arrive .each day , the greater part asking for a benediction in arllcnlo Morti's , which benediction naturally often reaches Hsv destination after tftape.tliloncr'i'dcath' ' For telegraphic correspondence the Vatican makes use of a" numerical cipher.

In the prettiest spot of the garden there has lately been crrcctcd a kiosque in the eastern style. There the pope remains some time , taking coffee and other refreshments , surrounded by his Intimate friends. The con versation runs on the topics of the day and on articles concerning the popo' or papal politics that appear in Italian or foreign journals. At sunset the party breaks up and the pope returns to the palace , his physician having abjured him never to remain out of doors after sunset on account of the malaria which prevails in the valley below Monte Marco.

The schooner was hired by thu party torn pleasure Irip to Now lorn by sea , slop ping on thu wny nt Capo May nmt Atlantic City. Mrs. llaskln expected to meet her husband in this city to-day. The party Idft Sprnco slreet wharf , Phila delphia , on Tuesday mornlnir in Iho schooner. At Atlantic City M'lss JesbkfMcUluroleft the schooner on account of sea-sickness. Tlio vessel was just outside of Sandy Hook on Friday evening when the storm broke. Tlio captain took In his foresail at once and furled it. Mr. Clark was suffering fioiu soa-slckness , and had gone down to the cabin. The ladies went below when the storm b.'gan , nnd were much frightened. The captain endeavored to beat up into the bay. The schooner was working along slowly with mainsail and jib set. About 0o : : . m. , when about C03 vnrds below Sandy Hook buoy , outside , nnd thu saino distance from the bench , a terrible squall struck the vessel , and sue was forced completely over on her beam ends , throwing those on deck into the water. The schooner filled Evcryi rapidly , but was kept nllont by her sails and air pumps. The passengers ami crew reached the boat and clung to the planks. The occup ants of tiiu cabin wcro still nlivu and the Imprisoned Indies , in heartrending tones , screamed and pitcously begged for lielp. Tholr anguished Iriends were helpless and could do nothing to save them. One of the young ladles reached up to the window , which was under water , and one of the men caught her hand , but it slipped , leaving one of her rinirs in his hands. She fell back nnd was not seen again. The others wcro In the nart where the air kept tlio wntor down. Their agoniz ing cries continued for awhile , then nil was still. Some perished by suffocation , for their faces when found wcro black as from chok- tnp ; others held on to the sides of the cabin as long as they could nnd then let go to drown. A pilot in a skiff came out and saved the oUifcr passengers and crow. Three tugs came out to the wreck but nothing could bo done to save the the unfortunates in the cabin. .

The law. ho said , did not iirovldo anyclauso which declared , or could be cun- btrned to declare , that the defendants had f committed murder. Mr. Solomon read from , the statutes to show that the evidence brought against the defendants did not prove that they were accessories to murder. He then lend from several authorities to show what constituted the olTeusc of conspiracy. Ho said If tlio state hada case nt nil it was on tlio chnigo of murder or conspiracy , and upon no other. "These defendants. " ho said , are not mur derers , or thieves , or burglars. They ate not criminals , but mo possessed of n feelinirol1 broad humanity , we expect to prove that these men assembled at the llaymnrkct on the night ot the 4th of May , to exercise the rialit of free speech ; to hold a peaceable meet ing held for the purpose of discussing the In terests of the laboringiuan. But wo sec In the action or the police an incredible animus. Wo see in in them a devilish dcslirn , a fiendish design , an intention to destroy every lite on Hint market.
