PREMIER BALFoUR is OUT.
Hands In Resignation Of Himself And
Cabinet

London, Dec. 6.-The political crisis
in the United Kingdom reached a eli
max recently when Arthur L. Balfour
the premier formally rendered the re-
signations Of himself and the mem
bers of his cabinet to King Edward,
who accepted them. His majesty has
invited Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man to an interview, when he will
offer him the mission of forming a
new cabinet. Sir Henry will accept
the task, and within few days, even
within few hours, new govern
ment will be formed.
A brief official announcement was
made recently 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 en-
tire program has been cut and dried
for some time, and it is even probable
that the liberal leader has already
completed his cabinet, though this
like everything else in connection
with British official dominion must be
left to surmise. 1t may be stated as
certain that Lord Rosebery will be en-
tirely ignored in the makeup of the
cabinet and that John Morley will be
one Of the chief advisers of Sir Henry
in drawing up the list of his official
family which will be presented to his
majesty.
