POSSIBLE CABINET ACTION.
Irish Members Held Responsible for
the Existing Situation.

LONDON, June Northumberland
Arnold Morley and the Secretary of State
for War were summoned to confer with
Lord Rosebery after the adjournment OF
the Cabinet council to-day.
This started q rumor that the ministers
would finally decide TO resign, east upon
the Opposition the responsibility of gov
eminent. and make them select the time
for the dissolution of Parliament.
Another report has il that the govern
ment may determine TO carry non-con-
tcntious measures and appeal TO the coun-
try later.
Either course would probably prevent
the Irish land bill and other important
measures from passing the remaining
stages.
IT Is asserted that the Irish members
are largely responsible for the present
situation. The basis for this assertion
is that their action In compelling tho
Chancellor Of the EXchcquer. Sir william
Vernon Harcourt, 10 rcscind the vote fog
the erection OF a statue TO Oliver Crom-
well seriously undermined the govern
ment.
