lation, and it is apparent the crisis has
been temporarily smootned over if not
entirely passed The house or commons |
has held brief session and adjourned |
without attempting to transact any busl-
ness. The Marquis OF Salisbury held
conference early in the morning with |
Right Honorable A. ]. Balfour the Duke
OF Devonshire the Right Honorable Jo-
seph Chamberlain and others. The out
come of this meeting was nasty visit on
the part OF the marquis to the queen at
Windsor, where, it is assumed, he rre-
sented list Of names of the members for
proposed new cabinet and that they
were approved by her majesty.
Later in the day the official announce
ment that the Marquis of Salisbury had
formally accepted the premiership made
vacant by the resignation or LORD hose
berry was made known 10 London. rms
. news created something of sensation as
it was believed that under the existing
conditions the Tory leadres would hesitate
if not decline to assert the premiership.
The rev ministry, as Iar as completed
and officially announed, is as follows;
Marquis of Salisbury. premier and sec
retarv of state for foreign affairs.
The Duke OF Devonshirc, president OF
the council.
state for the colonies.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor OF
the exchequer.
Right Hon. George ]. Goschen, first
lord OF the admiralty.
1t is believed that the Marquis OF Sals-
bury, before deciding to form new MIN
istry received assurances that the out
going ministry would assist the new gov
ernment in pass ing the estimates IN time
to enable parliament to dissolve by July
10th.
The Tories were reluctant, 1t is said. to
take office before new parliament was
elected on the ground that 1T would not
be good strategy to be actually in power
general election. With the Liberals still
holding ofice. the Conservatives could go
to the discuntented voters and ask them
pointedly how things could pe different
under the present government. II the
Tories were in power, things would be
better. But with the Tories actually in
Office they will take share OF the re-
sponsbility for the present conditions.
Both parties profess to be ready for
general election in July, and the outyo-
ing ministry does not appear greatly dis
Lord Roseberv and Sir William Har-
court are particularly launty and lovial
and make 1t plain that their release from
office at this time was the thing most TO
be desired.
The Irish people are taking great inter
est in the present situation. JUSTIN NC
Cartby has issued manifesto to the peo-
pie of Ireland, stating that the defeat OF
the government has placed Ireland $
bitterest enemies in office for brief
<space before the election" The mani
festo says: Downing street and Dublin
castle will be occupied by men pledged to
the poll cy of coercion in Ireland. The
defeat was accom- plished by the ilctton-
lists, who still divide Ireland, and by the
vote of the Chamberlains, the Russels and
other false friends OF land reform. In
the continuance OF the alllarce with the
Liberal party is lreland's only hope OF
redress.'
The manifesto appeals earnestly to
Irishmen at home ana abroad for funds
with which to fight their enemies at the
coming election campaign: In an inter,
view John Redmond said it seemed
possible that the elections would result
in the defeat of the Liberal party.
The Parnelltes had invited the govern
ment to dissolve parliament when the
Liberal party was united. Mr. Gladstone
gave the same advice and Redmond was
in position to assert positively that Mr..
Gladstone resigned because the cabinet
rejected his services. If the government
had dissolved parliament then the Liberals
would have carried the country on the
home rule policy. They now 90 to the
country without q policy, WI thout a
leader, beaten. discredited and disheart-
ened. He did not anticipate that the

They would have the power to pass the
Irish land bill through the house OF lords,
and they were more likely to DO sc
quickly and to provide money for the pur-
chase OF land than the Liberals. lie
was not sure that home rule would not
be eventually dealt with by the Conser-
vatives. The political prisoners could
not be worse off under Tory govern
ment than they were under Mr.. Asqu it'll,
the retiring home secretary.
