nOunced Tuesday Afternoon.


nOunced Tuesday Afternoon.
LONDON, June $40 p. m.-Mr.
Gladstone has just announced the resig-
nation of the cabinet in the house of com
mons.
THE CABINET MEMBERS THINK IT WOULD BE
INCONSISTENT FOR THEM TO REMAIN IN
OFFICE.
LONDON, June 9.-The cabinet council
was convened ut noon and was in session
until LIS o'clock. II is understood the
situation was thoroughly discussed, and
it was decided that in view of the defeat
last night it would be inconsistent for the
members of the cabinet to remain longer
in office, and il was resolved that their
designations be rendered the Queen ut
once.
The report of this decision of the
cabinet has caused feverish feeling on
the stock exchange, and consols have
dropped 3-16, while Russian securities are
one. half lower. On all the provincial ex-
changes, the weak feeling in circles is
n ore marked.
LONDON June % p. NIT is under
stood that Mr.. Gladstone will announce in
the house of commons this afternoon that
the cabinet has decided TO resign. II is
unlikely, however, that the Conservatives
will consent to form cabinet. The
defeat of the government in the house of
commons last night and its decision to
resign, have produced IL general depression
f! of prices on the stock exchange.
GLADSTONE IN THE HOUSE.
| LONDON, June 9.-When Mr.. Gladstone
entered the house of commons a few
minutes before o'clock this afternoon
his appearance was that of firm man
perfectly undisturbed. He was loudly
cheered and the applause finally became
nm ovation. He then explained
that the cabinet was under obligation to
submit dutiful communication TO the
Queen (cheers). II would be premature
on his part to enter into particulars con-
corning the nature of that communication
just now.
| PARLIAMENT ADJoURNs UNTIL FRIDAY.
LONDON, June 9.-The house of com.
mons and the house of lords have nd.
| journed until next Friday.
