( Now Yont Herald Cable Special toTiiu Btu. : | Wo now unow that Mr. Gladstone- will have another term of olllrio , though certainly not a long oan. His purtv Is made up of many sections , the most of which nro Jealous of each other. They are by no moans unanimous , even In their love of Mr. Gladstone. The labor party , In fact , leaks upon him with extreme dislike and the antl-Purncllltes are still more bitter. Then 4 thnro will bu people to reckon with wbo will bo disappointed in the distribution of ofllcos. Uembember , also that the majority will bJ composed largely of Irish mumbo und that It is impossible , o keoy them In cloio attend ance nt Westminster , especially now tbut the , funds run lo.v. It is pretty certain tbon that Mr. Glad stone's administration will have a short life , nnd not a particularly merry one. Will Tut the ( Mil MUM on Itvconl. I believe tbe present determination of Lord Salisbury Is to not resign , but to call Par- linmunt together early in Autruu and go on with the business in the usuul way. A speaker will be elected , wbo shall ba sworn In and there will bo the queen's speech nnd a long debate upon It , nnd the Gladstonians will move an amendment designed to turn out the government. All this will occupy nearly tbreo weeks. Many conservatives do riot see why they should ba kept in Londo i for the sake of lighting u hopeless battle , but the object is to get Mr. Gl.ustono committed to some dclinllo statement about his Irish policv. Some of hU followers will wan' to Know uhat ho means to do , and the untl-Pur- nollltos though few In number , will make it warm for him. If Lord Salisbury wore to resign without .summoning parliament Mr. Gladstone coulil practically avoid ineotinir the new house till next February , nnd thus gain nearly seven inunths for drilling his forces nnd shaping liH cotitMC. . Lotff of Work Hrforo Him. First of all however , ho must go to Mid lothian as HCOII as ho is appointed prime minister , to get elected again , nnd , as hi * majority was so terribly cut dowa the othei dav , tbis Is not a ploisant ordeal to face Tno same remark applies to Mr. .Uorlcy. wbo may very possiblv bo beaten on a ncv. election. Thus the troubles of the Gludston- luns have already begun. Moreover , I am assured on good nuthoriM that the revered leader bus suffered not u little for his exertions during the late con test und that bis health Is in any but n satisfactory st&to. A contested election U bouud to tin it out n man's weak points , es pecially when he is In Ins SM year. After nil , tno unionists are not disposed to taken irloomy view of their position. Mr Chamberlain Is full of light und the oppuii lion generally will bo extremely formidable nnd ever on the watch for a chunce of strik ing home. They huvo lost soma good men , but Mr. Chamberlain's followers seem likely to muster about forty nnd these , with the conservatives , will lead thu Gladstonlaus n p.'Jtty dance. 1IU I'liiii on Ilniiin Itiilo. Thtil Mr. Gladstone Is thinking of post- pining the home rule question altogether is highlv probable , and if the Paruollltus will only consent to that coursu tbo old man will Joyfully adopt It. By way of n sop he will begin by repealing Mr. Bolfour's coercion act , so that the Irish National league may once moru become powerful in Ireland. With this concoisio-i the Irish party might possibly canscnt to allow him u year of gruco before taking tbo homo rule problem.

Once more the effort to abolish commis sions on passenger business in the territory of the Chicago & Ohio UlverTraflic associa tion has failed. The question was ttu sub ject of n conference between general pas tenser agents of all the interested line * , in cluding the Illinois Central nnd the Cbiungo & Cuilem Illinois , which are not members of the association. The Illinois Central de clined to go into the movement. Tbo ropro- simt'Jlive ot the road said it was tbo policy of tbis company to pav commissions , and it would continue to do so , but ho saw no reason why the association lines could not discontinue them , irrespective of the Illinois Central.

H was claimed that a very large share of the second class traftlo originating on the East Tennessee , Viggiula fi Georgia road was se cured by the Illinois Contra ! at Grand Junc tion. One member said ho knew the Illinois Central's share of this business amounted tenet not less than 1UOO passengers a year , and it had been able to control that amount by imy- ini ; commissions. Accordingly it wa de cided to abandon the subject and recommend to tbo general managers of tlio ussoclailon lines that tbo paym nt of commissions bo discontinued on nn equalized tusis.
