Reason of Lord Salisbury's Retirement Is Generally Regarded as Simply a Desires for a Quiet Llfe Other Cabi net Changes Foreshadowed. London. July 14. The marquis of Salisbury has resigned the premier ship of Great Britain and RL Hon. A. J. Balfour, the first lord of the treasury and government leader In th3 house of commons, has been appointed to succeed him. The marouls of Salisbury tendered his resignation at an audience whlcli he had with Klnjf Edward- last Fri day. Saturday Mr. Balfour visited th king and accepted the premiership. ABTHXTB J. B1LFOU& Perhaps never has a change of pre miership been affected with so little dislocation to business, either publ'c or private, as accompanied the trans fer of the seals of office from Lord Salisbury to A. J, Balfour. The oc currence had no effect whatever on the 6tock exchange. The only other change in the cabinet thus far an nounced Is the chancellorship of the exchequer. Sir Michael HIcks-Beacn, who resigned today, though others are foreshadowed. 1 Mr. Balfour, in addressing the first meeting of his followers at the foreign office this afternoon, informed them that he could not count on the contin ued assistance of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, but he could on Ihe latter' good wishes. The public showed little interest in the party meeting, which was sum moned for noon. The new premier, when he entered the conference rof of the foreign office, accompanied by the Duke of Devonshire. Sir. Michael Hicks-Beach. Lord Londonderry ani others, received quite an ovation When Mr. Balfour rose to address the meeting all again stood up and cheered the new chief. Mr. Balfour referred to the loss of the services of the chief who. for nearly GO years', had been en gaged In active political life. No one, e said, would grudge him his well earned repose, though his loss was irreparable. I do not flatter myself. proceeded the premier, "that the gap he has left can be filled. But the place he has left must be occupied, and it Is be cause the king has desired me to uj my best to take that position that I have asked you to meet me today. I have accepted a great task and & heavy responsibility, certainly from no over-weening belief in my own ca pacity, but because I am sure, or at least have every reason to believe, that In attempting to carry on this work I will have the most Important qualification a leader can have, name ly, the regard and confidence of those with whom he works. As to Lord Salisbury's wlthdrawrJ, the main reason Is considered by prac tically all the best Informed persons to have been simply a desire for a quiet life on the part of a man ad vanced In years, whose activities hare been unusual.- and whose scientific tastes predispose him to study and se clusion. That the retiring premier's health has failed, to some extent. Is undeniable, but; this perhaps Is to be expected In a man of his years, and the close of the war in South Africa and the return qf the commanding gen eral here Is considered to be an appro priate time for his withdrawal. Several ether changes are likely to occur Including the retirement of Earl Cadogan. lord lieutenant of Ireland, and the elevation of George Wyndhani, the chief secretary for - Ireland, to a seat In the cabinet. ! . Speculation is already rife as to who , will be Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's sue-J cessor. The name of P. W. Hanbury, -president of the board of agriculture, Is frequently mentioned.
