the attendance Of Liberal members last
Monday night.
LONDON, June 12---3 p. M--lt has
Just been learned from an authoritative
source that the report to the effect that
the Marquis Of Salisbury has been sum
moned by b. Queen to Balmoral and
that he left last night'for the Castle is
true. The Marquis started secretly at
midnight for Balmoral. Now that it
has become apparent by the departure
Of the Marquis Of Salisbury for Bal
moral that the Tories will assume the
reins of Government, the Parnellite
members Of Parliament have begun con-
ferring with leading Conservatives with
regard to the government of Ireland.
Parnell and his followers strongly urge
the Tories TO adopt the Home-Rule
measure for Ireland.
kilograms from all the principal
points along the route taken by the
Marquis of Salisbury to Balmoral show
that the journey was made through
continued series of popular ovations
on all that part Of the way which lies
in Scotland. Crowds assembled at all
the railway stations and cheered the
coming man." At Aberdeen station,
where the train stopped, the demonstra-
ton was particularly enthusiastic.
Here some one called out, 80 Three
cheers for Gladstone" and the invita-
ton was greeted with groans and
Kisses.
Mr.. Gladstone announced in the
House Of Commons this afternoon that
he had resigned his office; that the Queen
had accepted his resignation, and that
her Majesty had informed him that she
had summoned the Marquis Of Sails
bury, leader Of the opposition in the
House Of Lords, to Balmoral for the
purpose Of entrusting him with the
formation Of new Cabinet.
Mr.. Gladstone, continuing, said that
under the peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the outgoing Government he
would little later propose that the
House of Commons adjourn until next
Monday. The question had arisen, he
proceeded, whether it would be best for
the public convenience and interest to
60 on with the pending question con-
corning the redistribution Of the seats
bill. The present Government would
only do so with the consent of the
House. lie did not believe that any
difference Of principle in respect to
this important measure could now pos
sibly arise between the parties, and he
reminded the House that the Government
and opposition were both under a COM
pact regarding the redistribution bill.
1t would, however, be gratifying to
himself and his colleagues in the re-
firing 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, reported that his
party desired to proceed with the re-
distribution bill as rapidly as possible.
There was no reason why the amend
ments 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 amend
ments were not yet printed. He
thought it desirable to have them
printed before formally accepting
them. Mr.. Gladstone expressed his
acquiescence with this view, and the
sitting of the House was suspended
until the amendment should be received.
The amendments as passed by the
Lords having finally reached the House,
the sitting was resumed. 1t was de-
cided to make the amendments the sub
ject of discussion on next Monday, and
an adjournment was made until that
date.
In the House Of Lords this afternoon
Lord Granville made formal announce
ment similar to that of Gladstone in
the House of COMMONWEALTH the resig-
nation of the Cabinet had been accepted,
and that Salisbury had been summoned
TO Balmoral.
The remainder Of the session was oc-
cupied in reading for the third time the
observation-disclosures bill and passing
amendments thereto.
LONDON, June l2.--Mlarquis Sails
bury has consented to form Ministry,
with Sir Stafford Northcote as Chancel-
lor Of Exchequer.
LONDON, June l3.-The NewS says
that the statements that Gladstone in
tends to retire from the leadership Of the
Liberals is unauthorized. The Earl Of
Aberdeen has offered Gladstone the use
of his residence near London for the
remainder Of the session. A messen-
ger from Gladstone arrived at Balmo-
raj two hours before Lord Salisbury.
The Queen leaves Balmoral Tuesday,
and will arrive at Windsor Castle We'd
nesday morning. 1t is stated that
message from the Queen has arrived for
Sir Stafford Northcote.
LONDON, June 13.-The Standard
of this morning thinks that in the new
p Ministry the Earl Of Cairnawon will be
Foreign Secretary, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach Secretary for War, and William
Henry Smith First Lord Of Admiralty.
II 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 that the general
election will probably be postponed
until January, unless the Conservatives
are unable to pass the coercion bill and
find upon the expiration of the present
act in October that they are unable to
govern Ireland without a renewal Of
the act, when they will be compelled to
