Formal Announcement Of the Change Of
Ministry in Both Houses of
Parliament.

London, June 2.--The marquis of Sal
isbury conferred this morning with Rt.
Hon. A. ]. Balfour. conservative leader
in the house Of commons: the duke of
Devonshire, unionist leader in the house
Of lords, and with Rt. Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, unionist leader in the
house, and proceeded to Windsor, at the
summons of the queen. following the
resignation of the ROsebery ministry.
The best informed agree in the belief
that Lord Salisbury will accept the task
of forming a cabinet, and the new min
istry will be composed of representa-
tives of both sections Of the uniOnist
party. Although the dissolution Of par
lament can not long be delayed, it may
not be necessary to fill all the places in
the ministry, as the Times intimates
this morning, before taking steps for
an immediate appeal to the country.
Then, according to the program, the
marquis Of Salisbury would become pre-
mier and president Of the council of
ministers, and the duke Of Devonshire
secretary Of state for foreign affairs.
Mr.. Balfour is said to be slated for the
office Of lord Of the treasury, and Cham
berlain will become secretary of state
for war. Rt. Hon. George Goshen, for
merly chancellor of the exchequer, is
said to be slated for the post Of first
lord of the admiralty.
:. Lord Landsdowne, Sir Henry James
and Hon. Leonard Courtney, liberal un-
ionists, are also reported to have been
selected for cabinet positions. The
principal members Of the Salisbury cab
met must be reelected Immediately,
and the dissolution of parliament is ex-
pected within fortnight. The mar
Quis of Londonderry, conservative, is
expected to be viceroy Of Ireland.
In the house Of commons today there
was most animated scene and outside
the house Of parliament large crowds
were gathered.
Speaker William Cour Gully took the
chair at p. M, and soon afterwards
Secretary Of State for War H. Camp
bell-Bannerman entered amid pro-
longed liberal cheers. Balfour was
greeted with vigorous cheers. At $3.50
Chancellor Of the Exchequer Sir Will
liam Harcourt entered the house and
the liberals rose in a body and cheered
him to the echo. The supporters Of
Chamberlain made a similar demonstra-

never more able, respected of popular
minister held Office. The government,
of course. associated themselves with
their colleague, and feeling that they
were unable to pass votes for supply,
the government resigned, and the resig-
nation was accepted. Under ordinary
circumstances it would have been in
cumbent to move an adjournment, but
the seals fishery bill must be passed
before July, and when it has passed it's
third reading the government will move
an adjournment of the house,
The chancellor Of the exchequer then
thanked his supporters and acknowl-
edged the considera ton shown to the
government by it's opponents. Tears
Were in the eyes of Sir William when
ne uttered his last words.
