LIBERAL PARTY IN STRAITS.
SIR HENRY CAMPBELL-BANNERMA
LIKELY TO RESIGN-TALK OF
ROSEBERY AS SUCCESSOR

London, July 2-The crisis In the ranks of the
Liberal party has reached an acute stage. This
fact was publicly admitted and deplored by Sir
Henry Campbell Zimmerman the leader OF the
party, in a speech at Southampton tonight.
Although the rumors that Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman has already resigned the leadership
OF the party are premature, a meeting of the
party has been suddenly convened for next
Tuesday, when 1t is expected he will virtually
offer his resignation.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman's speech,
which imputed motives OF personal jealousy to
the Imperalst Liberals, seems calculated to
increase. rather than allay the dissensons.
The Daily Chronicle" however, which repre-
sents the AsQuith section. predicts that the
forthcoming meeting will adopt vote of con-
hdence in Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman. and
declares that the Liberals must agree to differ
on the subject of the South African war.
The imperialist section of the Liberal party
headed by Herbert H. Asquith, the former Lib
eral Home Secretary. has been doing its utmost
to enlist Lord Rosebery on its side, but up to
the present time the latter has made no sign
of meeting its desire
Lord Rosebery arrived at Vienna from Gas
tein yesterday. on his way to England He will
arrive In London next Friday. Should he be
willing to resume the leadership and support
Mr. Asquith 1t is probable the latter man
would become the party leader in the House of
Commons
1t was understood that Mr.. Asquith would long
ago have been selected leader of the Liberal
party had he been possessed of ample means.
This financial difficulty would be surmounted
by the resumption of the leadership by Lord
Rosebery.
