The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-06-26

London, June 26.-Yesterday was a
day of accomplishment rather than
speculation, and it is apparent the
crisis has been temporarily smoothered
over, if not entirely passed. The House
of Commons mas held a brief session
and adjourned without attempting to
transact any business.
The Marquis of Salisbury held a
conference early in the morning with
Ri. Hon. A. J. Balfour, the Duke of
Devonshire, the Rt. Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain and others. The outcome
of this meeting was d hasty visit on
the part of the marquis to the queen
at Windsor, where, it is assumed, he
presented a list of names of the mem
bers for proposed new cabinet and
that they are approved by her ma
jesty.
Later in the day the official an
nouncement that the Marquis of Sails
bury has formally accepted the pre-
miership, made vacant by the reSigna-
ton of Lord Rosebery. was made in
London. This news created somewhat
of a sensation, as it was believed that
under the existing conditions. the Tory
leader would hesitate if not decline 10
accept the premiership.
The new ministry, as far as COM
pleted and officially annouced, is as
follows:
Marquis of Salisbury. premier and
secretary of state for foreign affairs.
The Duke of Devonshire, president
of the council.
A. j. Balfour first lord of the treas
ury..
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary
of state for the colonies.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. chancellor
of the exchequer. Right Hon. George
J. Goschen first lord of the admiralty
( 1t is believed the marquis of Sails
bury before deciding to form new
ministry received assurances that the
outgoing ministry would assist the new
government in passing the estimates
/ in time to enable parliament to dis
solve by July 10.
Tories Reluctant.
The Tories were reluctant, it is said,
TO take office before new parliament
I was elected, on the ground that i
would not be good strategy 10 be
actually in power and in a measure
/ responsible before the general election
/ With the Liberals still holding office
the Conservatives could go to the dis
contented voters and ask then
pointedly how things could be differ
( ent under the present government. L
the Tories were in power things would
I be better. But with the Tories actu-
ally in office they will take a share
! of the responsibility for present con
ditions. Both parties profess to b
/ ready for a general election in uly
the outgoing ministry do not appeal
greatly disheartened. Lord Roseberl
and Sir William Harcourt are particu
larly jaunty and jovial and make i
plain that their release from Office a
this time was the thing most to b.
desired.
Irish Interested.
The Irish people are taking grea
interest in the present situation.
Justin Mccarthy has issued a mani
festo to the people of Ireland, stating
that the defeat of the government ha
placed Ireland's bitterest enemies il
office
For a brief space before the cleo
ton" the manifesto says "Downin!
pied by men pledged to the policy o
coercion in Ireland. This defeat wa
encompassed by the fictionists VIII
still divide Ireland and by the vote
of the Chamberlains, the Russell3 ant
other false friends of land reform
Advocating the continuance of the al
lance with the Liberal party is Ire
lands only hope of redress
The manifesto appeals earnestly t
Irishmen at home and abroad 70
funds with which to fight their enc
mics at the coming election campaign
In an interview John Redmond sal
1t seemed probable that the election
would result in the defeat of tn
Liberal party.
The Parnellites had invited the gov
eminent 70 dissolve parliament VINE
the Liberal party was united Nj
Gladstone gave the same advice an
Redmond was in position to sser
positively that Mr.. Gladstone resigne
because the cabinet rejected his sci
vices. If the government had dis
solved parliament then. the Liberal
would have carried the vountry on tn
home rule policy. They now go to tn
country without a policy, without
leader, beaten, discredited and dis
heartened. He did not anticipate tina
the Tory government would coerce Ire
land. They would have the power t
pass the Irish land bill through tn
house of lords and they were NOR
likely to do so quickly and to provid
money for the purchase of land tina
the Liberals. He was not sure tha
home rule would not be ,eventus II
dealt with by the Conservatives. Tt
political prisoners could not be wors
OFF under tory government than the
were under Mr. Asquith the retirin
home secretary.
