CHURCHILL RESIGNS.

LONDON, Dec. Alt is announced thai
Lord Randolph Churchill has resigned his
seat in the cabinet because he can not agree
with his colleagues regarding their domestic
policy and the proposition to increase the ex-
ipenditures for army and navy purposes in
the present depressed condition of business
affairs. Lord Churchill considered that Mr..
Smith and Lord George Hamilton have pre-
pared exorbitant estimates for the army and
navy departments, respectively, uncalled for
by the state of foreign affairs. Lord Sails
bury supported Mr. Smith and Lord George
Hamilton. Lord Randolph further consid-
ers that the Legislative measures for Great
Britain proposed for the next session of par.
lament are inadequate.
The Times criticises Churchill for hasty
action and says: His resignation deprives
the government of its ablest member and
completely changes the political situation.
