IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
IMMEDIATE DISSOLUTION. CABINET APPOINTMENTS. Press Associatfon-By Telegraph-Copyright, London, June 27. The Daily News says the Queen took farewell of Lord Eosebery very graciously. Lord Salisbury hopes to dissolve Parliament on Monday or Tuesday week. Sir H. James declined the Lord Chancellorship owing to the state of his health. He prefers a lighter Cabinet office. Mr Chaplin has been appointed President of the Local Government Board. June 28. The Tinws says Sir H. James will be elevated to the peerage and made Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Lord Balfour of Burleigh will be Secretary for Scotland, and Mr L. Courtney Postmaster-General. The Cabinet will number nineteen. Lord Eosebery charged Lord Salisbury with unexampled disrespect to the House in declining to state the policy of the new Government. He asked why, immediately after his defeat, he sent a Secretary who met Mr Camp-bell-Bannerman in the street, and demanded the seals of his office before they had been delivered up to the Queen. Lord Salisbury said it was urgent that the office should be filled up at once, and the request was a friendly one, for which there were many precedents. No insult was intended.
