GLADsTONE's REsIGNATION.
The Liberals Retire and Salisbury Is Sum-
moned to Form q Cabinet.


LONDON, June 12-The Queen has accepted
the resignation of the Gladstone Ministry, and
has summoned the Earl of Salisbury to form
new Cabinet At o'clock this afternoon Mr..
Gladstone received communication from the
Queen. In this communication her Majesty ac-
knowledges the receipt Of the resignation of the
Prime Minister and his Cabinet. Her Majesty
also states that. pending the consideration OF the
resignation of the Gladstone Ministry, she had
summoned to Bamoral the Marquis of Sails
bury. Mr.. Gladstone, continuing, said that
under the peculiar circumstances surrounding
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 pub
lie convenience and interest to 60 on with the
pending legislation concerning the redistribution
of-seats bill. The present government would only
do so with the consent of the House. He
did not 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 both under compact
regarding the redistribution bill. 1t would,
however, be gratifying to himself and his col
leagues 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 Con-
servatives, responded that his party desired to
proceed with the redistribution 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 shapes The
amendments were not yet printed, and he
thought it desirable to have them printed before
formally acting on them.
Mr.. Gladstone expressed acquiescence with this
view, and the sitting of the House was sus-
pended until the amendments should be re-
ceived
The amendments, as passed by the Lords, hav-
ing finally reached the House, the sitting was re-
sumed 1t was decided to make the amend
ments the subject of discussion on next Monday,
and adjournment was taken to that date.
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
designations, and had summoned to her presence
the Marquis Of Salisbury, who is now at Bal
moral in conference with her Majesty. There
fore, Lord Granville said he hoped the House
would abandon all ordinary business.
The remainder of the session was occupied in
reading for the third time, the redistribution Of
seats bill, and passing the amendments thereto.
Telegrams 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 popular ovatons
on all that part of the way which lies in Scot
land. Crowds of people assembled at all the
man." At Aberdeen station, where the train
stopped, the demonstration was particularly en-
thusiastic. Here some one called out, Three
cheers tor Gladstone" and the invitation was
greeted with groans and Kisses.
Now that it has become apparent, by the de-
parture of the Marquis of Salisbury for Bal
moral, that the Tories will assume the reins of
government, the Parnellite members of Parlia-
mant have begun comforting with leading Con-
servatives with regard to the government of Ire
land. Mr.. Parnell and his followers strongly
urge the Tories to adopt homerule measure
for Ireland stating that the advocacy of such
step by the Conservatives would completely
''dish" the Liberals.
The Daily News says that the statement that
Mr.. Gladstone intends to retire from the leader
ship of the Liberals is unauthorized.
A messenger from Mr.. Gladstone arrived at
Bamoral two hours before Lord Salisbury.
The Queen leaves Bamoral on Tuesday and
will arrive at Windsor Castle on Wednesday
morning
1t is stated that message from To Queen
has arrived for Sir Stafford Northcote.
The promptness with which the Queen accept
ed the resignation of the Gladstone Ministry is
a subject Of general comment. She telegraphed
her acceptance instead of accepting it by royal
courier.
The London Times still opposes the resigna-
tion of the Gladstone Ministry, saying such
action is unpatriotic and unfair to the Conserya-
tves.
The Standard thinks that in the new Ministry
the Earl of Carnarvan will be Foreign Secretary,
Sir Michael Hicks Beach Secretary of War,
and William Henry Smith First Lord
Of the admiralty; It also thinks n that that
high post but that it is not likely to
be that of Secretary for Ireland. The
Standard adds that the general election
will probably be postponed until January,
pass the coercion bill, and find upon the expira
ton of the present act, in October, that they are
unable to govern Ireland without renewal of
the act, when they will be compelled to dissolve
Parliament.
The Times, in leading editorial, says that
manful attempt to deal with the
Irish difficulty viii show the greatest
difference between the Liberals and Radi-
calls, and the unreahty of distinction,
except in names, between the Liberals and the
Conservatives. A coalition with the latter al
though for special purpose and although un-
successful, would pave the way osome more in
tellisible and real division Of parties than now
exists.
