New Cabinet.
THE MINISTRY HAS RESIGNED
Dissolution of Parliament TO Occur Al.
most Immediately. Followed by
New Election.

London, June 23.-It is just announced
that the outcome of the deliberations of
the cabinet, in consequence Of the adj
verse vote in the house of commons on
Friday, is that Lord Rosebery, prime
minister, has rendered his resignation
to the queen. Her majesty has there
fore summoned Lord Salisbury, leauer
of the conservative party, TO Windsor
in connection with the formation of me
conservative ministry.
The court circular tonight contains
the following:
Earl Rosebery, X. c.. first lord of the
treasury and lord of the council, arrived
at the castle and rendered his resigna-
ton to her majesty. by whom it was
accepted"
The leading conservatives declare the
marquis of Salisbury will not formally
take office until parliament is dissolved.
He will insist that the government par
ty, before yielding their seats, shall
pass a vote for an amount necessary
for expenditures for two months and to
enable a general election to be held. The
conservatives will thus be in a position
to attack instead Of defending.
Throughout the day the situation was
the absorbing topic at the chief 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 20 minutes Immediately fol-
lowed. 1t is understood that the mar
auis of Salisbury only agrees to form a
cabinet on condition that parliament is
dissolved. Nothing is known regarding
the personnel of the new ministry, but
complete harmony exists between the
liberal unionists and the conservatives.
IRISH MEMBERS UNEASY.

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

sore, their expectations having been dis
appointed. James G. Weir, member for
Ross and Cromarty, communicated with
Lord Rosebery this morning, urging
him not to dissolve parliament until

land tenants should have been passed.
