London. October 2a. copyrighted, 1897
by the Associated Press.)-1n spite Of thu
official denial Of the marquis OF Salisbury
approaching resignation OF the premier
ship, belief in Its truth is very strong In
political circles, where 1t Is considered that
his retirement Is inevitable within few

was confirmed by a cabinet minister on
Wednesday. who privately remarked that
the duke Of Devonshire had declared that
the marquis OF Salisbury resigned. The
minister is quoted as follows: 1.-THE can
didates will be the duke Of Devonshire and
Mr.. Balfour. The duke of Devonsnire long
ago wanted to merge the liberal -unlonists
into the conservatives and was only pre-
vented by Mr.. Chamberlain, who knew
that II II was done he would sink into
comparative inslgnificance. There is not
much lost between the duke OF Devonshre
and Mr.. Chamberlain, and the succession

them, for Mr.. chamberlain will support
Mr.. Balfour. II the duke OF Devonshire
does not succeed. he will lose considerably,
as 1t Will raise Mr.. Chamberlain more dis
tinctly to the leadership.
Mr.. Chamberlain, therefore, will tupport
Mr. Bafour in the belief that should Mr.
Balfour, as premier, make mistakes, the
reversion of the premiership will go to
him, MIR. Chamberlain.

trust and disliking of the governments
