Lord Rosebery's acceptance of office in the new Cabinet is officially announced, in consequence of which foreign stocks generally have hardened. Mr Labouchere has had some warm correspondence with Gladstone on the subject of the former's inclusion in the Ministry. Gladstone says the Queen showed some disinclination to his in clusion. A ballot taken among those engaged in the cotton trade resulted in favour of the adoption of the eight hours' system.
The "Chronicle" doubts whether the Cabinet is of sufficient democratic character to meet with the approval of the people.
The "Daily News" states that Rosebery feared his health would not permit him to hold office, and that he is quite in accord with Gladstone's policy.
Gladstone's address to the Mid lothian electors was quite of a formal nature.
Labouchere has given notice to move next session that Egypt be evacuated by Great Britain.
All the Ministers except Mr Morley will be returned unopposed by their respective constituencies. Mr Morley will have a bitter fight to retain his seat.
