a brief official announcement was
made tonight that the cabinet had re-
signed. that the king had accepted the
designations of his ministers. and that
SIR Henry Campbell Zimmerman had
been sent for.
Cut and Dried Programme.
II would now appear that the entire
programme has been cut and dried for
some time. and il is even probable that
the liberal leader has already formed
bis cabinet, though this, like everything
else In connection with British official
dom, must be left 10 surmise.
II may be stated as certain that Lord
Rosebery viii be entirely ignored in the
makeup of the cabinet, and that John

of Sir Henry in drawing up the list OF
his official family. which win be pre-
sented 20 his majesty.

Home Rule Question.
One thing is certain-that Sir Henry

those liberal leaders who are known to
ne opposed 10 home rule on the lines of
the last bills introduced in parliament
Since his speech at Stirling. which
raised such a furore. Sir Henry has not
made any statement but il is confident
~ asserted in the liberal clubs that he
is ready with policy which viii Sc
cure the adhesion of the natiOnalists
and at the same time avoid raising the
issue rs one Of the most prominent
blanks IN his platform.
There is some uncertainty as to when
the dissolution Of parliament will be
effective. but Il is not considered prob
able until after the new year.
An interesting feature of the pOlit-
zeal situation is the prospect of a closer
alliance between the Irish and the la
Dor parties in the new parliament
James keir Hardie, the socialist and
member. in a political
speech tonight frankly invited such an
alliance. He pointed out that forty
five labOr members combined with sew
anty-tive Irish members would provide
p voting strength which no govern
meut. however strong, could afford To
ignore
