LONDON, June 22.-The cabinet met
at Lord Roseberv's residence on Down
ing street at II O'Clock this morning.
The secretary of state for war, Mr. Camp
bell Bannerman, entered whistling mer-
rily.
The Westminster Gazette, Liberal, says
that it is generally expected the cabi-
net will decide to resign. Lord Rose
berry dimes with the queen at Windsor
tonight in accordance with previous
invitation, and he will thus be able, ac-
cording to the Westminster Gazette. to
tender his resignation.
1he Gazette adds: "The Irish mem
bers are strongly opposed to dissolu-
tiOn. They declared that If the govern
ment resigns we have been outraged.
We must have land bill 1t would be Il
blGnder and crime to defraud US of il. ,"
The government, however. is receiv-
ing many communications from its lead
ing supporters throughout the country
urging them not to sacrifice Legislative
work, or resign, owing to a scratch re-
verse.
The St James Gazette says: "The fate
of the minority is bound up with the de-
cision of Mr.. Campbell Bronnerman and
strenuous efforts are being made to in
duce him to reconsider his decision, A
very strong whip will be issued by the
ministerialists on Monday and all the
Irishmen have been summoned back"
In view of the fact that when the
cabinet adjourned for lunch no decis-
ion had been reached regarding
dissolution, the impression
prevails that nothing definite will be
known until Monday next when a state
ment will be made in the house of COM
mons Shortly after the council broke
up at 1880 p. m.. the postmaster general,
Mr.. Arnold Morley and Mr. Campbell
Bannerman, were summoned to confer
with Lord Rosebery.
This started the rumor that the minis
ters Will finally decide to resign and cast
upon the opposition the responsibility OF
government aud make them select time
for the dissolution of parliament
Then again it is reported that the gov
ernment may determine to carry on nom
contentious measures and appeal to the
country later. Either course it is believed,
will prevent the Irish land bill and other
important measures from passing the
final stages. 1t is asserted that the Irish
! members are largely responsible for the
present situation.
The basis for this assertion is that their
action in compelling the chancellor of
the exchequer to rescind the vote for the
erection of a statue to Oliver Cromwell
seriously undermined the government
The liberal organ, the Speaker, today
describes the action of the Irish mem bers
in this instance as display of childish
bitterness" and says there was no ques-
| tion of erecting the statue as approval
| of Cromwells Irish policy.
In many other ways, it is claimed, the
Irish members helped to bring about the
coming general election which, is as
serted, they themselves are SO unpre-
pared for, and which according to the
general opinion will surely result in the
( return of the unionists to power and
make it impossible to pass a home rule
measure for long time to come.
At the close of the cabinet meeting
this afternoon the premier, Lord Rose
berry left for Windsor in order to inform
the queen of the decision arrived at by
the ministers. This decision will not be
announced until Monday, but there is a
strong impression that the cabinet has
decided to resign.
