In the House of Commons, at his house in
London and proceeded to Windsor at 80
in reply to the summons of the Queen
following the resignation of the Rose
berry ministry. The cabinet crisis con-
tinues to absorb the attention OF the
clubs, etc, and the best informed specula
tions regarding the cabinet agree in the
belief that Lord Salisbury will accept the
task of forming a cabinet and a new
ministry to be composed of representa-
tives OF both sections of the Unionist
party, although a dissolution of parlia-
ment cannot long be delayed and it may
not be necessary to fill all places in the
ministry, as The Tines intimates this
morning, before taking steps for an imme-
date appeal to the country.
Then, according TO the program, the
Marquis Of Salisbury would become
premier and president of the Council OF
Minister and the Duke Of Devonshre

treasury, and Mr.. Chamberlain will be-
come secretary of State for war. The

the house and the liberals rose in a
body and cheered him TO the echo.
The supporters of Mr.. Chamberlain
made a similar demonstration when the
unionist leader entered the House of
Commons.
