| tafive source that the report 20 the effect
/ that the Marquis OF SALISBURY has been
/ summoued by the Queen to Balmoral, and
that he left last night for the castle, is
! true. The Marquis started secretly at
midnight for Balm0ral.

| Now that it has become apparent by the
! departure of the Marquis OF Salisbury for
] a.
! BalmOral that the Tories will assume the
| reins of government, the Parnellte mem
! bers Of Parliament have,hegun comforting
with leading Conservatives with regard to
| the government Of Ireland. Mr.. Parnen
and his followers strongly urge the Tories
to adopt home rule measures for Ireland.
ovATIONs TO THE "cOMING MAN"

along the route taken by the Marquis Of

! journey was made through a continued
| series of popular ovations. On all that
/ part OF the way which lies In Scotland
J crowds assembled at all the railway stu
/ tions and cheered the "coming man" AT
/ Aberdeen station, where the train
| stopped, the demonstration was pnrticu-
! larly enthusiastic. Here some one called

/ GLADsToNE's RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
Mr.. Gladstone announced iu the House
/ OF Commons this afternoon that he had
resigned mis- Office, that the Queen had ac-
| cepted his resignation, and that Her Mai
esty had informed him that she had sum-
moned the Marquis OF salisbury, Leader
! Qf the opposition lE the HOuge ct Lords
to bitimoTal for the pdrpOae OF intrusting
| him with the formation OF q new Cabinet.
Mr.. Gladstone said that under the pecu-
liar circumstances surrounding the out
going government he would "A little later
! propose that the House Of Commons ad-
jOurn until next Monday. The question
had arisen, be said, whether 1t would be
best for the public convenience and in
terest 10 go on with the pending legIsla-
tion concerning the redistribution of seats
| bill. The present government would
| only do 50 with the consent of the
| House. He did not believe that any
difference OF principle in respect to this
important measure could now possibly
arise between the parties, and he reminded
| the House that the government and the
/ opposition were both under a compact re-
/ garding the redistribution bill. IL would,
| however, be gratifying 10 himself and bis
colleagues in the retiring Cabinet If, be.
fore they ceased their public duties, they
| could regard the bill as sealed and de-
| liVered.
THE REDISTRIBUTION BILL.
| Sir Stafford N0rthcote, on behalf of the
/ Conservatives, reported that his party de-
! sired to proceed with the redistribution
i bill as rapidly as possible. There was no
reason why the amendments made to the
/ bill by the House OF Lords should not at
once receive the assent Of the House OF
/ Commons, but the question of these
/ amendments was in this peculiar shape
The amendments were not yet printed,
and he thought II desirable 10 have them
printed before formally accepting them.
| Mr.. Gladstone expressed aoquiescence
with this view, and the sitting Of the
! House was suspended until the amend
ments should be received.
The amendments, as passed by the
House Of Lords, having finally reached
the House Of Commons, the sitting was
resumed, and 10 was decided TO make the
amendments the subject of discussion on
next Monday, and an adjournment was
made until that date.
