GIadstone's Predecessor Ask
ed to Form a Cabinet for "
Great Britain. 7
HIS ACCEPTANCE CONDITIONAL.
Parliament Must Be Dissolved
and a General ,Elec-
ton Held. ~

LONDON, June 24.-It is just an
nounced that the outcome OF the de-
liberations of the cabinet in conse-
uuence of the adverse vote in the house
of commons on Friday is that Lord
Rosebery, the prime minister, has
rendered his resignation to the queen.
Her majesty has therefore summoned
Lord Salisbury, the leader Of the Con-
servative party, to Windsor in con-
nection with the formation Of Con-
servative ministry.
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, shall ap-
propriate an amount necessary TOR the
expenditures for two months, to en-
able general election to be held. The
Conservatives will thus be in a posi-
tion of attack instead OF defense.
General Topic of Discussion.
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 afternoon in the expectation Of see-
ing Lord Rosebery, who returned from
Windsor at 6 o'clock and drove to
Downing street, where an informal
cabinet meeting, lasting 20 minutes,
Immediately followed.
It is understood that the Marquis of
Salisbury only agrees to form cabinet
on condition that parliament is dis
solved. Nothing is known regarding
the personnel Of the new ministry, but
complete harmony exists between the
Liberal Unionists and the Conserva-
tives.
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 CHRISTIAN brothers, the
county council bill, which reached q
second reading, the grand jury bill,
and the proposal to extend the power OF
guardians regarding laborers' cottages
were all lost. The only Irish measure
now likely to be passed is Mr.. Healy e
municipal franchise bill, which has
gone to the house Of lords. The Lib
eral Scotch members are also sore,
their expectations having been disap'
pointed.
Announced Officially.
The court circular contains the fol-
lowing: Earl Rosebery, K. G., 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
berry weak and dangerous administra-
tion passes away. The division on Fri.
day was true and inexorable mani.
festation of the failure of the govern.

THE VALKYRIE

Sailing, Monday.

New York Aug 26.-The Valkyrie III

when she went down to Sandy Hook, this
afternoon. 1t was expected that she would,
today, take her first spin in American
waters under racing canvass, but she dis
appointed great many people by anchor
ing in the Horseshoe and remaining so.
Among the disappointed ones was
George j. Gould who went down to Sandy
Hook on the Atalanta, was transferred to
the Vigilant and sailed the Tobin bronze
boat outside. The way Mr.. Gould lowered
about until nearly nightfall gave grounds
for suspicion that he wanted brush
with Valkyrie III.
The Vigilant had on new suit oil
clothes and no finer has been seen on any
yacht in these waters this year at least
The work of bending the mainsail pro
crossed slowly on the Valkyr.e. Mr.
Rathsey stated before leaving Erie basin
that the mainsail could be bent in 4;
minutes. Instead of that the crew worked
at it three hours.
Whether the people en- the British boat
were influenced in giving up the proposed
sail today, by the presence of newspaper
tugs or the actions of the Vigilant is not
known.
1t is pretty well understood that Lore
