dered the resignation of himself and his
cabinet, and stated that the Qneen had
accepted the resignation 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. The remainder of the
session will be occupied in reading for the
third time the Redistribution of Seats bill,
and passing amendments thereto.
IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Gladstone announced in the House of
Commons this afternoon that he had re-
signed his Office, and that the Queen had
accepted his resignation, and that He-
Majesty informed him that she had sum-
moned the Marquis of Salisbury, leader OF
the opposition in the House of Lords, to
Balmoral, for the purpose Of intrusting him
with the mission of forming a new Minis
try. Gladstone continuing, said that under
the peculiar circumstances surrounding the
outgoing of the Government, he would d
little later propose that the House OF Com
mons adjourn until next Monday. The
question had arisen, he proceeded, whether
it would be best for the public convenience
and interest to go on with pending legisla-
ton concerning the Redistribution 6f Seats
bill. The present Government would only
do so with the consent OF the House. He
did not believe any difference of principlein in
respect to this important measure could
now possibly arise between the parties, and
he reminded the House that the Govern
ment and opposition were both
UNDER COMPACT
regarding the Redistribution bill. Itwould,
however, be gratifying to himself and his
colleagues in the retiring Cabinet if before
they ceased their public duties, they
could regard the bill as sealed and delivered.
Sir Stafford Northcote, on 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 amend
ments was in peculiar shape. The amend
ments were not yet printed and he Thought
it desirable to have them printed before
formally acting upon them.
Gladstone expressed acquiescence with
the view, and the sitting OF the House was
suspended until the amendments should be
received. The amendments as passed by
the Lords having reached the House the
sitting was resumed, and it was decided to
make the amendments the subject OF dis
cussion for next Monday and an adjourn
ment was taken to that date.
sALIsBURY's OVATION.
Telegrams from all the principal points
along the route taken by the Marquis OF
Salisbury to Balrnoral show that his jour
ney was made through continued series
of popular ovations. On all that part OF
the way which lies in Scotland crowds OF
people assembled at all the railway
stations and cheered the looming man.
At Aberdeen station, where the train
stopped, the demonstration was partlcu-
Iarly enthusiastic. Here some one called
out "Three cheers for Gladstone" and the
invitation was greeted with groans and
Kisses.
BEFORE THE QUEEN.
Salisbury has arrived at Balmoral. At
a, o'clock this afternoon Gladstone received
q, communication from the Queen, ac-
knowledging the receipt OF the resigna ton
of the Prime Minister and Cabinet: She
also states that pending consideration OF
the resignation OF the Gladstone Ministry,
she had summoned to Balmoral the Marquis
OF Salisbury.
PARNELL's MOVEMENTS.
Now that it has become apparent by the
departure OF the Marquis OF Salisbury for
Ralmoral that the Tories will assume the
reins of Government, the Parnellite men,
bers of Parliament have begun conferring
with leading Conservatives with regard TO
the government of Ireland. Parnell ana
his followers still urge the Tories to adopt
a home rule measure Tor Ireland, statlhS
that the advocacy Of such step by Con-
servatives would completely dish the LID
erals.
STILL TIMID.
