Tells the Queen He is Ready to Form a Ministry-Another Visit to Windsor Chamberlain Mentioned for the Post of Colonial Secretary.
 London, June 25.-The unionist lead
 CTS held a conference at Lord Sails
 bury's residence at Il o'clock this morn- ing The Duke of Devonshire, MT.
 Chamberlain. MT Balfour, MT. Goschen and Sir Michael Beach were pres
 ent.
 The conference came to an end at 1:9O p. m, and Lord Salisbury almost
 immediately afterward took train for Windsor.
 Lord Salisbury arrived at Windsor at 2;35 His visit was unexpected, and, no royal carriage being in waiting at the station, his lordship walked to the castle unobserved. Soon after his ar rival he had private audience with the queen.
 The Central News is authority for the statement that Lord Salisbury, during his interview with the queen, informed her majesty that he was ready to form "a ministry and submitted for her ap- proval a, list of the names of the mem bers of the proposed new cabinet. MT. Balfour, according to this statement, has accepted the post of first lord of the treasury, and MT. Chamberlain that of secretary of state for the colonies.
 The house of commons met at o'clock this afternoon, and after the transac- tion of minor business occupying forty minutes adjourned until noon to-mor- row
 Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, said he had hoped to be able to give definite information at this time as to the course affairs would take, but it was impossible for him to do so, as such information was not in his pos- session. Therefore it was better that the house should adjourn.
 The Westminster Gazette says that Lord Rosebery has not received any communication from Lord Salisbury in regard to the conditions of the latter's accepting office reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
 The Pail Mall Gazette says that MT. Gladstone at his conference with Lord Rosebery last night seriously question: ed the wisdom of the resignation of the ministry.
 Certain liberals believe that MT. Glad stone, having been physically fortified by his cruise in the North sea, will throw the weight of his influence and eloquence upon the side of his old col- leagues, but the carpenters personal friends are strongly opposed to his talk ing any such course, fearing that the excitement and exertion might cause a physical reaction.
 The Hon. Herbert Gladstone this morning definitely stated that his fath- CT would take no further part in public life.
 The Pail Mall Gazette, referring to the Daily News intimation that if Lord Salisbury demands any pledges from the outgoing government as condition of his taking office, they will be refused, { says:
 If Lord Salisbury refuses to form a 1 without terms then Lord Rose l bery must again take up the responsi- l bility, which no one but a coward would i ever have cast off on such a pretext as his. He ought to have dissolved parlia- l ment instead ofresigning."
 The National Liberal federation has | n preparation a statement dealing with | the coming general elections.
 The Right Hon. John Morley, chief l secretary for Ireland, will open the cam oaign on July 4 at Manchester, where | he will address a mass meeting of the party.
