LONDON, June 23.-It is Just an
nounced that the outcome of the deliber-
ations of the cabinet in consequence of
the adverse vote in the house of COM
mons on Friday is that Lord Rosebery,
the prime minister, has rendered his res
ignation to the queen. Her majesty has
therefore summoned Lord Salisbury, the
leader of the Conservative party, to Wind
sor, in connection with the form alton of
a Conservative ministry.
The leading Conservatives declare the
Marquis of Salisbury will not formally
take Office until parliament is dissolved.
He will insist that the government, before
yielding the seats, shall pass vote Of
an amount necessary for the expenditures
for two months to enable q general elec-
tion to be held. The Conservatives will
thus be in position to attack instead OF
defending.
Throughout the day the situation was
the a bsoi bing topic at the political clubs.
Several embers of the cabinet called in
Downing street in the afternoon in the
expectation of seeing Lord Rosebery.
who returned from Windsor about 6
O'Clock. and drove to Downing street,
where an informal cabinet meeting last
ing twenty-five minutes immeuia lately fol.
lowed.
1t is understood the Marquis of Sails
bury only agrees to form a cabinet on the
ground that parliament is dissolved.
Nothing is known regarding the person.
mel of the ministry but complete harmony
exists between Liberal U Unionists and the
Conservatives.
The Irish mem bers are extremely un-
easy and dissatisfied. They state that
after acting for three years as the strong
deeply concerned at the sudden end Of
the government without passing any OF
the principal Irish measures. Not only
has home rule not progressed, hut the
measure concerning the Chr stian broth-
ers, the county council bill which reached
second reading, the grand jury bill
and the proposal to extend the power OF
guarding laborers' cottages were. all
lost. The only Ilrsh measure now likely
to be passed is Mr.. Healy's munlclpal
franchise bill, which has gone to the
house of lords. The Liberal Scotch
mem bers are also sore. their expectations
having been disappointed. Mr.. James
| Weir. member for Ross and Caomarty.
| communicated with Lord Rosebery this
morning, urging him not to dissolve
parliament until the MEASURE extending
the benefit of the crofters act to high
land tenants should have been passed.
Lord Rosebery rose early today and at
tended St. George chapel before breakfast.
He then strolled through the grounds
alone till 10 O'Clock, when he went to
FrogmOre. where the queen was break
fasting with Princess Beatrice and Prince
Christian. He then attended service at
Frosmore mausolenm with the queen and
family, after which he had private au
dience with the queen. number of dis
patches were received and opened by the
queen. Lord Rosebery returned to the
castle for lanch and returned to town in
the afternoon. He held a consultation
with Mr.. Asquth, the home secretary;
and Mr.. Aruold Morley, postmaster-gen
eral, in Downing street imme diately on
his return.
Lord Rosebery conferred with Sir Will
liam Harcourt later in the evening and a
five-line whip was issued calling upon the
of commons at 3 o'clock tomorrow, when
it is expected Sir William Harcourt will
make the official announcement.
Lord Salisbury did not receive his sum-
mons until too late to go to Windsor to-
night. He will go early in the morning.
The effect of the cabinets discussion is
more marked upon the whips and officials
than upon the cabinet ministers. Lord
Rosebery on his return to town looked de-
cidedly sprightly and Lord Tweedmouth,
Mr.. Morley and Sir William Harcourt were
in a iocular mood.
The court circular tonight contains the
following: Earl Rosebery, X. c.. first
lord of the treasury and lord president of
the council. arrived at the castle and
rendered his resignation to her majesty.
by whom it was accepted.
The Daily Telegraph Liberal. says
that with the resignation Of Lord Rose
pery weak and dangerous administra-
ton has passed away.
The division on Friday was true and
inexorable manifestation of the fault of
the government to attain any governing
power. What happened to them may
occur again and again if ministers could
face the hazard of again and again being
publicly declared untrustworthy as Mr..
Campbell Banneman was on Friday.
