The Political Crisis in England.
PARLIAMENT TO BE DISSOLVED. (Per Press Association.) London, June 28. i Lord Salisbury hopes to dissolve 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. The Times says Sir H. James will be elevated to the Peerage and made Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Lord Balfour of Burleigh, Secretary of Scotland, and L. Courtney, Post-master-General. The Cabinet will number nineteen. The Queen has given her assent to the Pacific Fisheries Bill. Mr Chaplin has been appointed President of the Local Government Board. Lord Rosebcry charged Lord Salisbury with unexampled disrespect to the House in declining to state the policy of the new Government. He asked why, immediately after the defeat, he sent the Secretary who met Mr Cainpbell-Baunernxui 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 oue, for which there were many precedents. No insult was intended. Earl Cadogan becomes Lord Lieut, of Ireland, with a seat in the Cabinet.
