LONDON, June 24.-The marquis OF Sails
bury conferred this morning with Rt Hon
Arthur Bafour, the conservative leader in
the House OF Commons; the duke of Devon
shire, the unionist leader in the House OF
Lords, and with Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain, the unionist leader in the House OF
Commons, at his house in London, and pro-
ceeded to Windsor at 1870 p. m. in reply to
the summons Of the queen, following the
resignation of the Rosebery ministry.
The cabinet crisis continues to absorb the
attention Of the clubs, etc., and the best
informed speculations regarding the cabinet
agree in the belief that Lord Salisbury will
accept the task CT forming a cabinet and
new ministry, to be composed of representa-
tiyes of both sections of the unionst party,
although dissolution of Parliament cannot
long be delayed. 1t may not be necessary
to fill all the places in the ministry as the
Times intimates this morning before taking
steps for an immediate appeal to the coun-
try. Then, according to program, the mar
quis OF Salisbury would become premier and
president Of the council of ministers and the
duke of Devonshire would become secretary
OF state for foreign affairs.
AFTER THE PREMIER.
Mr.. Balfour is said to be slated for the
office of first lord of the treasury and Mr..
Chamberlain will become secretary of state
for war. Rt. Hon. George GOschen, for
merry chancellor of the exchequer, is said to
be slated for the post of first lord Of the ad-
miralty.
Lord Landsdowne, Sir Henry James and
Hon. Leonard Courtney, liberal unionists, are
also reported to have been selected for cab
met positions.
The principal members OF the Salisbury
cabinet must be reelected Immediately and
the dissolution of Parliament is expected
within fortnight.
The marquis of Londonderry, conservative,
is expected to be the next vIveroy of Ireland.
In the House Of Commons today there was
a most animated scene and outside the
houses Of Parliament large crowds of people
gathered.
The speaker, Mr.. William Curt Gully. took
the chair at o'clock and soon afterward
the secretary Of state for war Mr.. II. Camp
bell Bannerman entered the House amid pro-
longed liberal cheers. Mr.. BalfOur followed
and was greeted with vigorous cheers from
his supporters.
At $3.50 the chancellor of the exchequor, Sir
William VI non Harcourt, entered the House
and the liberals arose 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.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said: at
is my duty to make the announcement to the
House that the division of Friday last was a
vote of censure Of the secretary of war, than
whom never a more able, respected or popular
minister held office. The government, OF
course, associated themselves with their col
league, and feeling that they were unable
to pass the votes for supply, the government
resigned and their resignation accepted.
Under ordinary circumstances it would
have been incumbent to move an adjourn
ment; but the seal fisheries bill must be
passed before July, and when it has passed its
third reading the government will move the
adjournment of the House."
The chancellor Of the exchequer then
tbs e1 his supporters and acknowledged the
consideration shown to the government by It's
opponents Tears were /; the eyes Of Sir
William when he uttered the last words.
BALFOUR OFFERS CRITICISM.
Mr.. Balfour criticised the conduct of the
government. He said he thought the con-
stitutiona manner of proceeding would have
been to advise the queen to dissolve Parla'
ment instead of throwing the burden of con
tinuing the government on the opposition.
At 1922 the House went into committee on
the seals fisheries bill
Most of the members left when the House
went into committee. Numerous questions
were asked in regard to the agreement will
Russia on the Bering sea question and the
the Dominion of Canada on the same subject
The parliamentary secretary of the foreign
office, Sir Edward Grey, in reply said tha
satisfactory assurances had been given t
Canada on the points raised in behalf of thu
Dominion.
The seal fisheries bill then passed to thirt
reading.
Dr. Charles |. D. Tanner, member for tn,
middle division of Cork, anti-Parnellite
raised disturbance by eXclaiming that h,
did not see why the seal fisheries bill shoulC
be given precedence over the Irish land bill
The house then adjourned.
1t was rumored shortly after the House o
Commons adjourned that Sir William Vernon
Harcourt will not present himself as can
didate for reelection and the concluding
words of his thanks to the House of Com
mons were in reality valedictory.
There were great crowds present in th
House of Commons when the premier, Lore
Rosebery, rose at $40 p. m. to announce tn,
resignation Of the cabinet,
The prince of Wales, the duke of York am
the duke Of Cambridge sat on the cour
benches. The marquis Of Salisbury was alb
sent at Windsor where he had gone in answe
to the command of the queen.
The galleries were crowded with peeresse
and a number of members of the House o
Commons were present in order to hear tn
statement of the retiring premier.
Lord Rosebery, amid deep silence, said
