LORD SAuloDURl OOmuo
Conservatives Say That He
Will Not Formally Take Office
Until Parliament Dissolves.
London, June 25.-The court clrcu-
ar tonight contains the following:
Earl Rosebery, K. c., first lord Oh
the treasury and lord president OF the
arrived at the castle and ten
dered his resignation to her majesty,
by whom it was accepted.
London, June 25.-It is announced
that the outcome of the deliberations
of the cabinet, in consequence OF the
adverse vote in the house OF commons
Fiday. is that Lord Rosebery, the
prime minister, has rendered his reslg-
nation to the queen. Her majesty mas
therefore, summoned Lord Salisbury
the leader of the conservative party, TO
Windsor, in connection with the 1or-
nation of a conservative ministry.
Lord Salisbury did not receive his sum
mons until too late to go to Wlndsor
tonight He will go early in the morn
ing.
The leading conservatives declare
that the Marquis of Salisbury will not
formally take office until parliament IS
dissolved. He will insist that the gov
eminent, before yielding the seals,
shall pass vote of an amount neces-
sary for the expenditures for two
months to enable general election to
be held. The conservatives Will thus
be in position to attack, instead OF de-
Tending themselves.
Throughout the day the situation
was the absorbing topic at the political
clubs. Several members of the cabinet
called in Downing street in the after
noon in the expectation of seeing Lord
Rosebery, who returned from Windsor
about 6 o'clock, and drove to Downing
street, where an informal cabinet meet
ing lasting twenty minutes imme-
diately followed.
1t is understood the Marquis of Sails.
bury only agrees to form a cabinet on
condition that parliament is dissolved.
Nothing is known regarding the per-
sonnet of the ministry, but complete
harmony exists between the liberal
unionists and the conservatives.
The Irish members are extremely I'M
easy and dissatisfied. They state that
after acting for three years as the
strongest arm of the government they
are deeply concerned at the sudden enc
of the government without passing
any of the principal Irish measures
Not only has home rule not progressed
but the measure concerning the Chris
tan Brothers; the county council bill
= which reached a second reading; thu
grand jury bill and the proposal to ex
tend the power of guardians were al
lost. The only Irish measure now like
| ly to be passed is Mr.. Healy's munich
) pal bill, which has gone to the hous
of lords. The liberal Scotch member
, are also sore, their expectations having
been disappointed. James M. Weir
member for Ross and Cromarty, com
municated with Lord Rosbery thi
f morning and asked him not to dissolv
+ parliament until the measure extend
ing the benefit of the crofters act t
Highland tenants should have bee
: passed.
q Lord Rosebery rose early today an
attended st. Georges chapel befor
f breakfast. He then strolled throug
: the grounds, alone, till 10 O'Clock
t when he went to Frogmore, where tn
r queen was breakfasting with Princes
g Beatrice and Prince Christian. H
q then attended service at Frogmor
e mausoleum with the queen and family
: after which he had private audienc
: with the queen. A number of dis
e patches were received and opened b
the queen. Lord Rosebery returned t
IS the castle for luncheon and returne
+ to town in the afternoon. He held
n consultation with Mr.. Asquith, tn
O home secretary; Lord Tweedmoutl
|, lord of privy seal, and Arnold Morely
}. postmaster-g general, in Downing street
It Immediately on his return. Later
% conferred with Sir William Harcour
+ and five-line whip was issued calm
upon the liberals to be in attendant
# at the house Of commons at 3 o'cloc
s tomorrow, when it is expected 81
v William Harcourt will make the off
q cial announcement.
n The effect of the cabinet discussio
n is more marked upon the whips an
l. officials than the cabinet minister
IS Lord Rosebery, on his return to tow
d looked decidedly sprightly, and Lor
d Tweedmouth, Mr.. Morley and S.
g William Harcourt We're in a ioculf
,. mood.
