cial denial Of the Marquis of Saiishury's
approaching resignation of the pre-
miership belief in its truth is very
strong in political circles, where it is
considered that his retirement is inev-
liable within a few months. This view
of the undercurrent was confirmed by
cabinet minister on Monday. who prl-
vately remarked that the Duke OF Dew
onshire had declared that he means TO
have the premiership when the Marquis
of Salisbury resigns. The minister quo
ted added:

Unionists into the Conservatives, and
was only prevented by Mr. Chamber
