THE CABINET OFFICERS WILL RESIGN.
LONDON, June 9. The cabinet coun-
Gil convened at noon and was in Ses-
sion until :15. II is understood that
the situation was thoroughly discussed
and it was decided that IN view of the
defeat last night at the budget It
would be inconsistent for members of
the cabinet 10 remain longer in office,
and it was resolved that their resigna-
tion be rendered at orce. This decis-
ion of the cabinet caused feyerish feel
ing on the stock exchange.
THE MINISTRY SUFFERS A CRUSHING
DEFEAT.
LONDON, June 9.-The Gladstone
ministry suffered crushing defeat
in the house of commons last night,
in the failure of the Childers budget
proposals to pass. After a lively de-
bate, the government was defeated on
a motioI for a second reading, the
budget being rejected by vote of 264
to 252. When the result of the divis-
ion was announced, Mr.. Gladstone,
who had been leaning forward ia his
seat, cynically smiling, started, turned
pale, and clutched his hands nervous
ly together. The house Immediately
became babel of confusion, members
yelling, stamping aud waving hats,
neckties and handkerchiefs.
A tumultuouS cheer came from the
galleries, and Speaker Peel vainly
howled for order. The Parnellites
pointed at Gladstone and yelled,
That is the price of coercion I"
Down with Buckshot Forster"
Remember Myles Joyce,n Mr..
Gladstone arose to move an adjourn
ment. but stood III his place fully
minute before he could be heard

their designations TO the queen at
once.

will take office. The prominent mem
bers are urging the leaders to do SO.
GREAT SURPRISE Is EXPRESSED AT THE
DEFEAT OF THE GOVERNMENT.
LONDON, June 9.-It is reported, to-
day, that the tories will, In case the
cabinet resigns, refuse to accept office.
If this be true, the government will
then finish the supply measure, drop
all bills to which strong opposition is
made and dissolve, Great surprise is
expressed at the defeat of the govern
ment. 1t was expected that an effort
would be made last night 10 prevent
the proposed increase IF duties up. n
beer and spirits, but there was no idea
that the opposition would overthrow
the cabinet.
1t seems to be regarded as extremely
doubtful whether the ministers could
resign and leave unfinished SO many
important matters relating to both
home and foreign affairs, and nothing
is more untoward than that the pres
ent crisis could have occurred. APP
parently men of all parties are OF the
opinion that the government should
at least remain Professionally, that Is,
until after the general election.
A FORECAST OF A PORTION OF TIE NEW
CABINET.
LONDON, June 9.-It is reported
that the conservative leaders, at con-
ference held this evening, decided TO
accept the Offices.
The following is forecast Of 4 por
ton Of the new cabinet:
Marquis Of Salisbury Prime minister and sec
retary of state for foreign department.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach-Chascellor OF Ex-
chequer and leader in the house Of commons.
Sir Stafford Northcote (who will 90 10 the house
of lords)-Lord president Of council
Lord Randolph ChurchDl-Secretary OF State
Col frederick A stanley-secretary OF State
for war
The new ministers will attempt no
measures calculated to give the
liberals a chance to gain a vic
tory. They will recast the budget in
accordance with the votes of the
house, and when the estimates are
passed will dissolve parliament. The
Parnellites count upon the lapsing OF
- 80. ..nI
cles takes defeat with equanimisy. 1t
is supposed that the cabinet, In view
Of tendency to disruption and inter
nal discord, were willing TO take adj
vantage of a chance to risign. The
crisis postpones indefinitely settle
ment with Russia. The conservatives
will adopt Earl Granville's frontier
convention, but will insist upon
stringent guarantees against fUrtfer
Russian advance.
The government have notified the
different officers of the internal
revenue department throughout the
united kingdom that the additional
duties on spirits and beer has been
abandoned, although Gladstone's
statement In the house Of commons
this afternoon did not contain any
direct announcement of the resigna-
ton By the cabinet, the terms he em>
phasised were thsse which have been
invariably used on similar occasions
and were taken to indicate the resigna-
tions that had been decided upon and
rendered TO the Queen.
Conservatives are divided on the
question Of the expediency Of assuming
power, a majority Of them being In
favor of trying the experiment. 1t is
expected by the tories that Marquis
Salisbury will be ready BY Friday
next to accept an invitation by the
