KING AND PREMIER FAR APART.
Edwards Desire to Dissolve ParIia-
ment Is Opposed by Salisbury.

London, June 16.-The relations be-
tween King Edward and the premier,
Lord Salisbury, do not improve. Ac-
cording to general belief among the
commoners, the king wants Lord Sails
bury to dissolve parliament after the
coronation and go to the country"
otherwise have a general election, and
the premier has refused point blank.
He apparently sees 10 reason why
the government should not reap the
fruits of the recent victory.
The king, on the other hand, and he
is supposed to be Influenced by Lord
Rosebery, believes in the ancient Gus
tom that the death Of the sovereign
involves a dissolution of parliament.
The king is understood to take the
standpoint that this is not his parlia-
ment, it having been elected prior to
his succession, and, apart from any
political prejudices, he wishes to feel
that the house of commons has been
elected by the people under his rule,
according to all precedent.

Rosing says that John Lind will be
nominated by the Democrats for gov
ernor and will be their next candi-
date. Mr.. Lind tells the Minneapolis
Journal that Rosing has no business
to make any such statement, but is
very careful about making definite
statement to the effect that he would
refuse the nomination. John is evil
dently up to his old tricks, but as the
man whom the railroad merger people
will support, he will be defeated by a
large majority

concern will buy or build a telegraph
system that shall seek Western Union
business at reduced rates everywhere
