LONDON. Dec. 4--The political crisis in
the United Kingdom reached climax to-
day when Arthur ]. Balfour. the premier
formally rendered the designations OF him
self and his cabinet to King Edward, who
accepted them. The majority has invited
sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman to an
interview tomorrow, when he will offer
him the mission of forming new cabinet
Sir Henry will accept the task and within
few days even within a few hours. a
new government will be formed.
A brief official announcement was MADE
tonight that the cabinet had resigned. that
the king had accepted the designations OF
his ministers and that SIR Henry Campbell
Bannerman had been sent for. 1t would
now appear that the entire program has
been cut and dried for some time and II
Is even probable that the liberal leader has
already completed his cabinet, though this,
like anything else connected with British
oficialdom. must be left TO surmise
VIII Ignore ROsebery.
II may be stated as certain that Lord
Rosebery will be entirely ignored in the
make up of the cabinet. and that John
Morley will be one of the chief advisers OF
Sir Henry IN drawing up the list of his
oficial family which viii be presented
to his majesty. Mr.. Morley. himself is
considered likely TO go to the Indian office,
and 1t is probable that Herbert Henry
Asduith will be chancellor of the exchequer.
The foreign affairs portfolio will go either
to Lord Elgin or Sir Edward Grey, though
the latter is considered likely 10 be made
secretary for the colonies. The meeting
OF tho privy council, which was set for
tomorrow morning has been postponed,
LII.
tomorrow to be the guest at Lord Alllng-
tons house party at Crichel. wimborn.
but this is still indefinite.
List of Honor Issued.
\ partial list of the honors usually con-
fe req on the retirement OF the govern
atent was issued tonight 1t includes a
reelase for Cir Thomas sanderson. the re-
firing under secretary of state for foreign
arairs, and a plumber of minor honors. II
- ex: epted that the honors 10 be conferred
on. 15Tomiaost meinbeis of the retiring
government will be announced shortly
one thing is certain, that Sir Henry
>Ahpbell- Bannerman has explained his
tltltude on home rule for Ireland, 10 those
liberal LEADERS who are known to be op
posed to home rule on the lines of the las
bills introduced in Parliament, Since hii
speech at Stirling, which raised such
rurore, Sir Henry mas not made an!
statement, but 1t is confidently asserted il
the liberal clubs that he is ready with
policy which win secure the adhesion o
the nationalists and at the same tim
avoid raising the issue one of the mos
prominent plsnks in his platform.
Future of Parliament.
There Is some uncertainty as to whel
Tie dissolution of Parliament will be, ef
lective. but 1t is not considered probabl
until after the new year.
An interesting feature of the politica
situation is the possibility of a closer al
lance between the Irish and the labo
party In the new Parliament. Judge k1e
Hardie, the socialist and Independent
member. in political speech tonigh
frankly invited such an alliance. ii
pointed out that forty-fve members com
bined with seventy-five Irish member
would provide voting strength which n
government, however strong, could affor
10 ignore,
