cepted the resignation OF the GlauSlone
ministry, and the Earl of Salisbury ordered
to form new cabinet. At o'clock this
morning Mir. Gladstone received commun-
icatiOn from the queen. In this communi-
cation to the prime minister and his cabinet
her majesty also states that pending the
resignation of the Gladstone ministry she
had summoned to Balmoral the Marquis OF
Salisbury.
Reports from all the principal points
along the route taken by the Marquis of
Salisbury to Balmoral show that the jour
ney was made through a continued series OF
popular ovations on all that part of the way
which lies in Scotland. Crowds of people
assembled at all the railroad stations and
cheered the coming man. At the Aberdeen
station where the train stopped the demon
stratiOn was particularly enthusiastic. Here
some one called out, Three cheers for
Gladstone" and the invitation was greeted
with groans and Kisses.
IN THE LORDS.
In the house Of lords this afternoon Lord
Granville announced that Mr.. Gladstone
had rendered to the queen the resignation
of himself and his entire cabinet Lord
Granville also stated that the queen had ac-
cepted the designations and had summoned
to her presence the Marquis OF Salisbury,
who is now at BalmOral in conference with
her majesty. Therefore, Lord Granville
said he hoped the house would abandon all
ordinary business.
GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
Mr.. Gladstone announced in the house of
commons this afternoon that he had re-
signed office. that the queen had accepted
his resignation, and that her majesty had
informed him that she had summoned the
Marquis of Salisbury, the leader of the OPP
position in the house of lords, to Balmo-
raj for the purpose Of intrusting him with
the formation of q new ministry.
Nj. Gladstone, continuing, said that I'M
der the peculiar circumstances surrounding
the outgoing government. ne would, little
later, propose that the house of commons
adjourn to next Monday. The question
had arisen. he proceeded, whether it would
be best for public convenience and interest
to go on with the pending legislation con-
corning the redistribution of
THE SEATS BILL.
The present government would only
do so with the consent of the house.
He didn't 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 DGtn COIlpdCG
the redistribution bill. 1t would, how
ever, be gratifying to himself and his col
leagues in the retiring cabinet, before
they ceased their public duties, if thev
could regard the bill as sealed and deliy
cred Sir Stafford NOrthcote, in behalf of
the Conservatives, responded that his party
desired to proceed with the redistribution
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 peculiar
shape The amendments were not yet
printed and thought it desirable to have
them printed before formally acting on
them. Mr.. Gladstone acquiesced in this
view. and the sitting Of the house was SuS-
pended till the amendment should be re-
corded. The amendment as passed by the
lords, having finally reached the house, the
sitting was resumed. 1t was decided to
make the amendments the subject of dis
cussion on next Monday, and an adjourn
ment was taken to that date.
PARNELL'S DEMAND.
Now that it has become apparent that the
Tories will resume the reins of government,
the Parnellite members of parliament have
begun comforting with leading Conserya-
lives with regard to the government of Ire
land Mr.. Parnell and his followers
strongly urge the Tories to adopt the home
rule measure for Ireland stating that the
advocacy of such step by the ConServa-
tives wss.a completely dish the Liberals.
SALISBURY WEAKENING.
1t was reported in certain circles that the
MARQUIS of Salisbury, after consultation
with Conservative leaders, had decided to
advise that efforts be made to induce Mr..
Gladstone to reconsider bis resolve to re-
sign, and, should these efforts fail then to
suggest that Sir Stafford Northcote be called
upon to form cabinet.
HER MAJESTY ANXIOUS.
The promptneSS with which the queen
accepted the resignation of the Gladstone
ministry is a subject of general comment.
She telegraphed her acceptance, instead of
sending it by royal courier, as is usual in
cases of Importance. The Times still OPP
poses the resignation of the Gladstone min
istry, saying that such action is trivial, I'M
patriotic and unfair to the conservatives.
THE OLD MAN WILL STILL LEAD.
The News says that the statement that
Mr.. Gladstone intends to retire from the
leadership of the Liberals is unauthorized.
The Earl of Aberdeen has offered Mr.. Glad
stone the use Of his residence near London
for the remainder of the session.
a messenger from Mr.. Gladstone arrived
at Balmoral two hours before Lord Sails
bury. The queen leaves Balmoral ON
Tuesday and will arrive at Windsor Castle
Wednesday morning. It is stated that
message from the queen has arrived for Sir
Stafford Northcote.
United States Senator Edmunds sat I'M
der the speakers gallery in the house of
commons yesterday.
The Marquis of Salisbury has consented
to form ministry with Sir Stafford North
cote as chancellor of the exchequer.
THE COMING CABINET.
The Standard this morning thinks that in
the new ministry the Earl of Canarvon Will
be foreign secretary, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach -eperetary for war, and William
HehYfy Smith first lord of the admiralty. 1t
also thinks that Lord Randolph Churchill
will be offered high post, but that it is
not likely to be that of secretary for Ireland
The Standard says the general election
will probably be postponed until January,
unless the Conservatives are unable to pass
the coercion bill and find upon the expira-
ton of the present act in October that they
are unable to govern Ireland without re-
newal of the act when they will be com
PEELED to dissolve parliament.
Peace Probably Knocked Out.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 12.-The news
papers here are of the opinion that the
English Tories will be compelled to show
that they disapprove of Mr. Gladstones
policy, and express fear that the change of
