Toe the Contest.
LONDON, June 26.-Tuesday was a day
Of accomplishment rather than specula-
ton, and it is apparent that the crisis
has been temporarily smoothed over. if
not entirely passed. The house Of COM
mons has held brief session and adj
iourned without attempting to transact
any business. The Marquis Of Sails
bury held a conference early il the
morning with Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour,
the Duke Of DeYOnshire, the Rt. Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain and others. The
outcome Of this meeting was 4 hasty
visit on the part Of the marquis to the
queen at Windsor, where, it is assumed,
he presented a list Of names Of members
for a proposed new cabinet, and that
they are approved by her majesty,
Later in the day the official announce
ment that the Marquis of Salisbury had
formally accepted the premiership,
made vacant by the resignation of Lord
Rosebery, was made in London. This
news created somewhat Of a sensation,
as it was believed that under the exist
ing circumstances the Tory leader
would hesitate about it, if not decline to
accept the premiership.
New Ministry.
The new ministry, as far as completed
and officially announced 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.
Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secre-
tary Of state for the colonies.
Sir Michael Hicks-Reach, chancellor
Of the exchequer.
Rt. Hon. George J. Goschen, first
lord of the admiralty.
1t is believed that the MARQUIS of Sal |
isbury, before deciding to form a new
ministry, received assurances that the
outgoing ministry would assist the new
government in passing the estimates in
time to enable parliament to dissolve by
July 10. The Tories were reluctant, it |
is said, to take Office before a new par
lament was elected, on the ground that |
it would not be good strategy to be
actually III power and in a measure re-
sponsible before the general elections.
With the Liberals still holding Office,
the Conservatives could go to the dis |
Contented voters and ask them pointedly
how things could be different under
Liberal government. But with the
Tories actually in Office they will have
to take a share in the voters mind of
responsibility for the present conditions.
Both Parties Ready.
Both parties profess to be ready for a |
general election in July. The outgoing |
ministry do not appear greatly dis
heartened Lord Rosebery and Sir
William HarcOWt are particularly
jaunty and joyial and make it plain
that their release from office at this time

people are taking great interest in the |
present situetion Justin Mccarthy |
has issued a manifesto to the people of |
Ireland stating that the defeat Of the |
government has placed Ireland's bitter
est enemies in office. "For a brief !
space before the election, the mani |
festo says, Downing street and Dublin
castle will be occupied by men pledged |
to the policy Of coercion in Ireland. !
This defeat was encompassed by the |!
factionists who still divide Ireland, and |
by the votes of the Chamberlains, the
Russells and other false friends of land |
reform. Advocating the continuance |
Of the alliance with the Liberal party is
Ireland's only hope Of redress. The !
manifesto appeals earnestly to Irishmen
at home and abroad for funds with
which to fight their enemies in the
coming election campaign.
