KING EDWARD ACCEPTS
PREMIERC-B
Great Britain without Either Premier
on Ministery, as Result Of Ban
nerman's Resignation

London, April 0--Great Britain is in
a peculiar position, being without either
premier or ministry. The long expected
resignation Of Sir Henry Campbell BAN
nerman. The prime minister, was Off
cially announced, According TO the
court circular, I've resigned on the urgent
recommendation Of his medical advisers
and as the constitution Of the country
provides no automatic successor, it
resting With the King TO choose a new
head Of the government, and In accord
ance with the custom and precedent, the
whole cabinet resigns with the premier,
no step to appoint ministry can be
taken until Herbert II, Asquith, the
chancellor Of the exechequer, who has
been summoned to Biarritz for the pur
pose, has seen the king.
The position OF the country Is quite
unprecedented, there being no previous
example Of change occurring in the
premiership while Che sovereign was
abroad On this account the course of
procedure TO be followed is open to
some doubt.
Sir Henry's condition remains un-
according to the physicians
bolletin posted yesterday The King
in telegraphing mis- acceptance of the
premier's resignation, conveyed an ex-
preston Of his regret and esteem, with
best wishes for Sir Henry's recovery.
