Salisbury Goes to Balmoral.

LONDON June 13-It has now been posi-
lively ascertained that the marquis of Sails
bury secretly left for Balmoral at midnight
Thursday, and the belief is growing that the
queen has finally decided on accepting the
designations of the ministers, and in.
trusting the formation of a cabinet
to Lord Salisbury. The secrecy which
attended his departure was probably
due to desire on the part of her majesty
for a perfect understanding with the Con-
servative leader before officially accepting
Gladstons's resignation. No positive an
nouncements will be made before the meet
ing Of parliament. The Parnellites are tax
ing advantage of the situation and are urg
ing Conservative leaders to adopt home
rule policy for Ireland, and thus forestall
the Liberia Is in that direction.
LATER. Mr.. Gladstone announced in the
house of commons Friday afternoon that he
had resigned 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 opposition in the house of lords
to Balmoral for the purpose of intrusting
him with the formation of a new ministry.
In the house of lords, Lord Granville an
nounced that Mr.. Gladstone had rendered
to the queen the resignation of himself and
his entire cabinet Lord Granville also
stated that the queen had accepted the resig-
nations, and had summoned to her pres
snce the marquis of Salisbury, who is now
at Balmoral in conference with her ma jesty
Therefore. Lord Granville said, he hoped
the house would abandon all ordinary busi.
ness.

here that a change of ministry in England
will not involve any change in the position
of Earl Dufferin as the vicerOy of India.
kilograms from all the principal points
along the route taken by the marquis of
Salisbury to Balmoral show that the journey
was made through a continued series of popu,
lar ovations ON all that part OF the way which
lies in Scotland. Crowds of people Assem-.
bled at all the railway stations aud cheered
"the coming man" At the Aberdeen sta
tion, where the train stopped, the demonstra-
tion was particularly enthusiastic. Here
some one called out: Three cheers for
Gladstone" and the invitation was greeted
with groans and Kisses.

Fifty engines are at work and as many
streams are being poured in upon the burn

considerably on the flames, and it is be.
heved that portion of the structure will
be saved. There were but few visitors in
the building at the time of the breaking out
of the fire, and they, with the attendants,
succeeded in making their escape.
THE LATEST The flremeH finally OBJ
tained the mastery over the flames, but the
muSeum building is very seriously damaged.
The flames did not extend into the immense
structure in which the exhibition proper is
being held, and thus the actual calamity
dreaded was prevented. The da mage to
the main exhibition is, however, consider
able.
The Indian museum building is damaged
beyond repair, while its contents may be
said to be completely destroyed The In
iandepartment of the exhibition is, in fact,
blotted out, with the exception of the prince
OF Wales priceless collection, which were
saved only by the heroic efforts of the fire.

As soon as these and the many attendants
recovered from the excitement caused by
the first alarm, all engaged in the work of
removing the books of record of the exhibit
tiop and in saving the most valu-
able of the exhibits. The prince of
Wales arrived early at the fire
and remained until assured that the main
building would not be materially damaged.
All flre-sngines that could possibly be util-
lied were used to pour streams upon the
burning building. Luckily, the water sup

with the extraordinary exertions of the fire.

explosion that shook the earth and could be
heard for miles around took place Friday
in the Santo- Tiburcio de Savata Grande
silver mine. The mine is very ancient
one, and has been worked ever since the
Spanish conquest yielding untold millions
of silver during that time. Recently it
has been newly developed, outftted through
out with the most improved modern ma
chinery. The work of reopening all the diff
ferent parts of the great mine was approach
ing completion, and immense quantities of
blasting powder had been stored in
the galleries. Thursday in some un-
accountable manner the powder be-
came ignited aud 500 cases exploded
Ten men were killed outright, and as many
more injured. The mine and everything
near it was a complete wreck, and the sur
face improvements were destroyed. Al
though the mine is twelve miles from this
city the shock could be felt here The men
who were nearest the powder were torn to
pieces by the explosion, and only small por-
tions of their bodies could be found. Sew.

WASHINGTON CITY, June Is. The reduc-
tions i'll the pay-rolls of the agricultural
department for the month of May
were little over $1,000, as
compared with the previous
monthly average. Additional reductions
for June, amounting to about $500, have
been made, and others are thought to be in
evitable in order to prevent deficiency.
The working force of the statistical bu-
reau has already been greatly reduced. but
a close computation discloses the fact that
the available funds on hand are insufficient
to carry the work through the mouth upon
the present scale, AMI it is apprehended
that tne discharge or suspension of nearly
all the remaining force will take place at
once
