LIBERALS HAVE QUIT
Prime Minister Ros-o-ry Drops q Great
Burden.


Burden.
LONDON. June Alt is now announced
that the outcome of the deliberations of
the cabinet in consequence OF the adverse
vote in the house of commons on Friday
is that Lord Rosebery, the prime minister
has rendered his resignation to the
queen. Her majesty has therefore sum-
monod Lore Salisbury, the leader of the
Conservative party, to Windsor in con-
nection with the formation of Conserva-
tive ministry. The leading Conservatives
declare that the Marquis of Salisbury
will not formally take office until parlia-
ment is dissolved. He will insist that
the government, before yielding the seats.
shall pass vote of an amount necessary
for the expenditures for two months, to
enable general election to be held.
The Conservatives will thus DO in po-
sltion of attack instead of defense.
Throughout the day the situation was
the absorbing topic of the chief political
clubs. Several members of the cabinet
called in Downing street in the afternoon
in the expectation of seeing Lord Rose
berry, who returned from Windsor at 8
o'clock and drove to Downing street,
where an informal cabinet meeting last
ing twenty-five minutes Immediately fol-
lowed. 1t ia understood that the Marquis
Of Salisbury only agrees to form cabi-
net on condition that parliament is dis
solved. Nothing is known regarding the
personnel OF the new ministry, but CON-
plete harmony exists between the Liberal
Unionists and the Conservatives.
Undoubtedly Salisbury is right, from
political point of view, at any rate, in in
sisting on dissolution. Still the move
was q shrewd one on Rosebery's part. For
if the Conservatives declined to take Of
flee Rosebery woulc stay and be in
stronger position than before--he had
been defeated, offered the opposition con-
troll of the government, they declined;
therefore they confessed that he had the
real majority as representing the effective
lower house. If Conservative leader ac-
cepted there Is no real doubt that he
would find q majority, even if small,
against him. He could not dissolve par.
lament until the supplies had been voted,
and Liberal majority could prolong the
situation for months.
The Irish members are extremely un-
easy and dissatisfied. They state that
est arm of the government they are deep.
ly concerned at the sudden end of tho
government without passing any of the
principal Irish measures. Not only has
home rule not progressed but measures con.
corning the Christian brothers, the coun-
ty council bill (Which reached IL Second
reading), the grand jury bill, and the
proposal to extend the power ofguardians
regarding laDorers' cottages are all lost.
The only Irish measure now likely to be
passed is Hcaly's municipal franchise
bill, which has gone to the house of lords.
The Liberal Scotch members are also
sore, their expectations having been dis
appointed.
Lord Salisbury did not receive his sum-
mons until too late to go to Windsor last
night. He went early this morning.
The effect of the cabinets decision is
more marked upon the whips and officials
than upon the cabinet ministers. Lord
Rose berry, on his return to town, looked
decidedly sprightly, and Lord Tweed
mouth, Mr. Morley and Sir William Har-
court were in iocular mood.
LONDON, June 25-The various Con-
sentative agents throughout tho country

an immediate dissolution of parliament.

ship and is organizing new ministry.
