Slated For Responsible POSI-
tons Under the New
Regime. J}3

LONDON, June 26.-Tuesday was .
day of accomplishment rather than
speculation, and it is apparent that the
crisis has been temporarily smoothed
over, if not entirely passed. The house
Of commons held brief session and
adjourned without attempting to trans
act any business The Marquis OF
Salisbury held conference early IN
the morning with Rt. Hon. A. j. Ball
four, the Duke of Devonshire, the Rt.
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain and others
The outcome of this meeting was g
hasty visit on the part of the marquis
to the queen at Windsor, where it IS
assumed he presented list of names
of members for a proposed new cabinet,
and that they were approved by her
majesty. Later in the day the official
announcement that the Marquis of Sal
isbury had formally accepted the pre-.
mierhip made vacant by the resigna-
tion of Lord Rosebery was made In
London. This news -
Created Somewhat Of a Sensation, IA
as it was believed that under the exist
ing circumstances the Tory leader
would hesitate about, if not decline, to
accept the premiership. The new min
istry. as far as completed aud officially
announced, is as follows: #%{
Marquis of Salisbury, premier and
secretary of state for foreign affairs.
Duke of Devonshire, president Of the
council. @2g
A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treas.
ury.
Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secre-
tary of state for the colonies.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor
of the exchequer. +.-
Rt. Hon. George ]. Goschen, first
lord of the admiralty.
It is believed that the Marquis Of
Salisbury. before deciding to form a
new ministry, received assurances that
the outgoing ministry would assist the
new government N passing the esti-
mates in time to enable parliament to
dissolve by July 10.
