The Times says Lord Salisbury has
not accepted the office Of premier un~
conditionally and nothing will be
definitely settled until the Queens ar
rival.
The conservatives will require some
kind of a guarantee from their op-
ponents that they will leave the new
government unmolested until the
general election.
THE TIMES CONDEMNS THE LATE GOV
ERNMENT.
LONDON, June 15.-The Times still
condemns the late government. 1t
publishes copy of the liberal whip
issued for to-day's meeting at the
house of commons, and says it is pre-
cisely similar to that sent out for the
crucial division of last Monday night.
1t says that the whips cry wolf too
often, and by sending urgent terms
for trivial occasions, will weaken the
effect of summons when real crises
is at hand.

Salisbury is in London to day, con-
ferring with the leading conservatives
and with Churchill.

'Ehurthill makaead to get ,tQ the resi-;
deEce of Salisbury Just before the
meeting OF the conservative leaders
dissolved. Salisbury explained to the
meeting the result of his interview
with the queen, and hoped he would
have the assistance of his colleagues
to form the new cabinet. The almost
unanimous opinion expressed was in
