THE ROSEBERY GOVERNMENT HAS
 FORMALLY RESl lGNED.

asttc Over the Turn Affairs Have Taken
 and Are Now sanguine of Success.
 London, June 29.-It is officially an
 nounced tonight that the Rosebery
 government has resigned.
 Lord Salisbury, the former premier,
 will be summoned by the queen to form
 a ministry. and his cabinet will pro-
 ceed at once with the routine house
 business, obtain provisional supplies
 and then dissolve parliament.
 It is expected that the elections will
 take place about the tenth of July com
 ing
 This morning at Il o'clock Lord Rose
 bery went to Frogmore, where the
 queen, Princess Beatrice and the Prin-
 cess Christian had breakfasted. He at
 tended a private service at Frogmore
 Royal Mausoleum with the royal family
 and later had an audience with the
 queen.
 He returned to London in the after
 noon and went to the official residence
 in Downing street. Here a conference
 was held until after o'clock, after
 which the decision to resign was first
 made known.
 The Central News is authority for
 the statement that Lord Rosebery, while at Windsor rendered his resigna- tion of himself and his colleagues to
 the queen, who accepted them. Her
 majesty has sent for Lord Salisbury, who will proceed to Windsor Castle tomorrow when he will be intrusted with the formation of ministry.
 It is stated that in his interview with tho nt1aar ord POeaharyy a ftaT fp form ing her of the status of affairs advised her to summon Lord Salisbury to form a government.
 Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Biggs, an assistant private secretary to the queen, conveyed her majesty's summons to Hatfield house, Lord Salisbury's res idence in Hertfordshire.
 Lord Salisbury will obtain the views of the Duke of Devonshire, the liberal unionist leader, in the house of lords, before he goes to Windsor tomorrow.
 Joseph Chamberlain had an inter- view with the Duke of Devonshire on Saturday, and afterwards MT Chamber lain received visits from several of his liberal-unionist followers. It is not doubted that joint ministry will be formed of liberal-unionists and conser- vatives, and that 1t will be called unionist government When it be- came known that Lord Salisbury had been summoned by the queen it was said he would not consent to form a ministry with the present house, and that he would recommend the queen to dissolve parliament.
 The unionists advise an appeal to the country. They believe that they will be able to obtain a majority of eighty They are now very enthusiastic and sanguine.
 The Court Circular contains the fol- lowing: The Earl of Rosebery, first lord of the treasury and president of the council, arrived at Windsor castle Sat urday and rendered his resignation to her majesty, by whom 1t was accepted. |
 The Daily News, the organ of the lib- erals, will say tomorrow that the queen accepted Lord Roseberys resignation as she did that of MT. Gladstone-without 1 the expression of reluctance with which she favored Lord Salisbury when he re- tired from office
 Lord Rosebery and Sir William Yer non Harcourt strongly favored resign ing at the cabinet council. The prime | SOholdCI6Q llldI lhG 6ONCIl- ment, which was weakened by it's de- | feat in the house of commons, was not | well qualified to deal with foreign af- fairs.
 When Sir William Vernon Harcourt | announces the resignation of the gov vernment in the commons, Monday he will probably move that the house ad journ.
 The Daily News declares that the lib- erals will not be caught mapping if Lord resolves upon a quick disso- lution of the house. The officers of the National Liberal federation have fore seeIn a possible election this summer I the Daily News urges that every constituency without a liberal should immediately select the best man they can find.
 The paper declares that the crisis was not sudden.
 The Standard says that the decisive voice as to whether the government | should resign or continue in office was that of Sir William Vernon Harcourt. He declined to attempt to carry on busi- ness with the present reduced and un- certain majority. It adds there is req son to believe that besides the liberal lnionist leaders the Duke of Devonshire md MT. .Chamberlaine, Sir Henry James, | ome time solicitor general and attorney general in one of MT. Gladstone's cabi- nets, but opposed to home rule for Ire and, and the Marquis of Lonsdowne, { Ex-viceroy of India and ex-governor Eeneral of Canada, will be invited to bin the new government. Mir Gladstones return to England E anxiously awaited. An impression xists in liberal quarters that he will bsue a manifesto in support of the lberal program. The Chronicle tomorrow will say C hat MT Chamberlaine is the real de- ( Eroyer of the government and he is |irtual master of the situation. The Times says Lord Salisbury will |e premier, but is unlikely to dare to Q eunite with that office the labors of c be foreign office which will go to the [ .uke of Devonshire if he desires to ac> Ipt it. MT Balfour will be the gov fnment leader in the house of com Ions. Mir Chamberlane can claim the ery highest office in the gift of the ! F lbvernment next to these three offices. i, he greatest opening for the display F his abilities is in the war office. n
