HON. BOLLESTOX RESIGNS. TIMARU, Nov. 27

The Hon. F. J. R.olleston. who returned to Timaru from AYellington today. handed in his resignation as Minister prior to leaving AYellington.

When interviewed, lie said he could make no pronhecy as to wliat might happen in the future. The meeting of Parliament next week would no doubt sort out the parties. He supposed that Sir Joseph AYnrd would be called niioii to form a Aiinistry, and having done that, he would probably ask for an adjournment to formulate a policy, and the House would probably meet again in June. He did not think another election was likely in the near future.
