'SR EDWARD CARSON .vITHDRAWS FROM
 THE BRITISH CABINET
Iapers Apprehensive That Other designations May Follow Irish Leader
 Against Home Rule

London, October 1s.-sir Edward Carson, attorney geenral. has resigned from the British cabinet.
 Sir Edward Carson, prior to the out break of the war, was the leader of the movement against home rule for Ireland, r hich for a time threatened civil war in Ulster. At that time he was the con- servative member of Parliament for Dub lin university and gained great notoriety for his speeches attacking the govern nent and the sympathizers of home rule and threatening in case the King signed the home rule bill to aid in setting up & provisional government in Ulster. He Was the first to sign the covenant of resistance to home rule and led the Uls- terites in the formation of the Ulster volunteers
 When the present coalition government was formed last May, Sir Edward was given the portfolio of attorney general. Some of the English newspapers ex- pressed the view that this appointment vas a mistake in view of his previous antagonsm to the government.
 The most notable cases with which Sir Edward has had to deal since his incum- sbency of the attorney generalship were the board of trades inquiry into the sink ing of the Lusitania and the proceedings before the prize court for the condemna- tion of American meat cargoes.
 Recently there has been unofficial talk in London of Sir Edward being at odds with other members of the ministry over c1nscription. the Balkan situation and the Dar0aneles expedition. The attorney general did not attend any of the cabinet meetings held recently.
 The London morning papers express much regret over the resignation of Sir Edward Carson as attorney general, and there is lively apprehension expressed that it is not impossible that his giving up his portfolio may be followed by ether resignations.
 The Times says Sir Edwards action was taken on what he holds to be the fundamental question of policy and that it is understood he by no means is alone the war.
 According to the Daily Chronicle the question of oonscription did not come to a head at yesterdays cabinet meeting as matters arising out of the Balkan situa- ton, especially the enigfnatic attitude of Greece occupied the ministers. But the Chronicle says the conscriptionsts have not abandoned their intention to force an early decision on the question and be- fore the week is out there may be sensa- tional developments unless the wise coun- sels prevail.
 The newspaper adds that ministerial resigna tions are freely talked about and says the very existence of the coalition government may soon be in jeopardy.
