by whom it was accepted"
London, June 25.-It is announced
that the outcome of the deliberations
of the cabinet, in consequence of the
adverse vote in the house of commons
Fiday, is that Lord Rosebery, the
prime minister, has rendered his resig-
nation to the queen. Her majesty has,
therefore, summoned Lord Salisbury,
the leader of the conservative party, to
Windsor, in connection with the for
nation of a conservative ministry.
Lord Salisbury did not receive his sum-
mons until too late to go to Windsor
tonight. He will go early in the morn
ing.
The leading conservatives declare
that the Marquis of Salisbury will not
formally take Office until parliament is
dissolved. He will insist that the gov
ernment, before yielding the seals,
shall pass vote of an amount neces-
sary for the expenditures for two
months to enable general election to
be held. The conservatives will thus
be in position to attack, instead of de-
Tending themselves.
Throughout the day the situation
was the absorbing topic at the political
clubs. Several members Of the cabinet
called in Downing street in the after
noon in the expectation of seeing Lord
Rosebery, who returned from Windsor
about o'clock, and drove to Downing
street, where an informal cabinet meet
ing lasting twenty-five minutes imme-
diately followed.
1t is understood the Marquis Of Sails
bury only agrees to form cabinet on
condition that parliament is dissolved.
Nothing is known regarding the per-
sonnel of the ministry, but complete
harmony exists between the liberal
unionists and the conservatives.
The Irish members are extremely un-
easy and dissatisfied. They state that
after acting for three years as the
strongest arm of the government they
are deeply concerned at the sudden end
of the government without passing
any of the principal Irish measures.
Not only has home rule not progressed,
but the measure concerning the Chris
tian Brothers; the county council bill,
which reached second reading; the
grand jury bill and the proposal to ex-
tend the power of guardians were all
lost. The only Irish measure now like
ly to be passed is Mr.. Healy's munich
pal bill, which has gone to the house
of lords. The liberal Scotch members
are also sore, their expectations having
been disappointed. James M. Weir,
member for Ross and Cromarty, COM
municated with Lord Rosbery this
morning and asked him not to dissolve
parliament until the measure extend
ing the benefit of the crofters act to
Highland tenants should have been
passed.
Lord Rosebery rose early today and
attended st. Georges chapel before
breakfast. He then strolled through
the grounds, alone, till 10 o'clock,
when he went to Frogmore, where the
queen was breakfasting with Princess
Beatrice and Prince Christian. He
then attended service at Frogmore
mauseleum with the queen and family,
after which he had a private audience
with the queen. A number of dis

the castle for luncheon and returned
to town in the afternoon. He held a
consultation with Mr.. Asquith, the
home secretary; Lord Tweedmouth,
lord of privy seal, and Arnold Morely,
postmaster in Downing street,
Immediately on his return. Later he
conferred with Sir William Harcourt,
and five-line whip was issued calling
upon the liberals to be in attendance
at the house Of commons at O'Clock

The effect of the cabinet discussion
is more marked upon the whips an6
officials than the cabinet ministers
Lord Rosebery, on his return to town
looked decidedly sprightly, and Lore
Tweedmouth, Mr.. Morley and Sil
William Harcourt were in joculal
mood.
