 London, Aug. 20-The resignation of Lord curzon of KedIeston as viceroy of India and the appointment of the Earl of Minto as his successor was announce ed at the India office tonight. Accord ing to the correspondence which is is- sued in the form of a white book 1t transpires that Lord Curzon's resigna- ton was cabled to that office on August 12. The correspondence shows a decid- iedly bitter feeling between Lord Cur zon, the India office and Lord Kitchen er, commander -in-cfief of the forces in India, over the new scheme of army | IduIQlIliSlTdIlQil dissatisfaction came to head with the refusal of the cabinet to appoint Major General Sir Edmund Barrows on Lord Curzons recommendation military supply member of the council.
 Replying on August 2 to the refusal of MT. Frederick, secretary of state for India, to make this appointment Lord Curzon requests that the government reconsider it's decision fin order to enable me to accept the responsibility ! which infer his majesty's government \ still desires me to assume. Mir Broderick again refused to con- lply with the request for the appoint Iment of Major General Barrow and l Lord Curzon replied as follows: .l Tt is apparent that his majesty's Igovernrnent deny me that confidence (which alone can enable me to serve them and attach a fundamentally diff il ferent interpretation from myself to the Imodifications upon the acceptance of (which alone consented to remain in office. The situation, therefore, re- mains where it was when resigned in June, If the government Is unable to Iaccept my views I request the premier to place my resignation in the hands of his majesty
 To this MT. Broderick replied that there was a request from MT. RSlfour that Lord Curzon reconsider his deter lmination. Tn a final dispatch, however Idated August 12 Lord Curzon says
 "The main question is not the choice lof individual but one of the principles lunderlying q future change in our ad- ministration. I am reluctantly driven to the conclusion that the policy of his lrnajestys government is based on rrin- ciples that could not conscienciously carry into execution. In the interests of the new organization 1t is desirable that I should be relieved of my duties iWith as little delay as possible, N To this Mir. Balfour himself replied that he had with the most profound regret submitted Lord Curzon,s resig- nation to the king.'
 Supplementary dispatches, after the
 receipt of the resignation, show, firstly
 that Lord Curzon and Lord Kitchener
 were unable to agree over the details of Lord Curzon at the time he left Eng i, land expressed his entire disagreement Iwith the scheme
 "But, says he, T Loyalty commenced the undertaking and only resigned ] when realized that conflicts were cer- tain to arise between the commanders } in-chief and the rest of the government ! of India
 His concluding sentence reads: 1T re- . fleet with sorrow how little justifica- tion there has been for the claim you , make of having rendered me your con : stant support"
