THE COMISa By Associated Press. LONDON. Juno 12. It is learned from an authoritutlva source that the Marquis of Sals bury , having been summoned by the queen storied nt midnight last night for Balmoral Now that It baa become apparent , by the de parture of Salisbury for Balmoral , that the tories will assume the reiua of government 1'arnellito members of parliament have begun conferring with loading conservatives with regard to the government of Ireland. 1'nr- nell and his followers strongly urge the tories to adopt home rule measures for Ireland , stating that the advocacy of such a step by the conservatives would completely dish the liberals. The Quesn his accepted the resignation o ! the Gladstone ministry and baa aummonec Karl Salisbury to form the new cabinet. Gladstone announced in the house of corn mons this af torncon that ho had resigned office and that the Queen had accepted bia reaigna tion nnd had informed him that aho had sum moned Salisbury , leader of thn opposition in the house of lords , to Balmoral for the pur pope of entrusting him with n formation o : a new ministry. Gladstone , continuing , said that under the peculiar circumstances surrounding the out going government , ho would a little later pro pose that thn bouse of commons adjourn un til next Monday. The question had arisen , he proceeded , whether It would be best for the public confidence and Interest to go on with pending legislation concerning tha redistribu tion of seats bill. The present government would only do so with the consent of the house. He did not boliave that any differ ence of principle In roi.ird to this important measure could now possibly arise between the parties , and he ri minded the house that the government nnd opposition were both under a compact regarding the redistribution bill. It would however be gratifying to himself and colleagues in retiring from the cabinet if be fore they ceased their public duties they could regard the bill as sealed and delivered Northcote , on behalf of the conservatives responded that bis party desired to proceec with the redistribution bill as rapidly as pos sible. There wai no reason why amend ments to the bill by tbo house of lords shouk not at ones receive assent of the house o : commons , but he thought it would ba desira ble to have them printed before formally acting on them. Gladstone acquieseed in this view nnd it was decided to make the amend ments n subject of discussion on next Monday and adjournment was then taken to that At 5 o'clock this afternoon Gladstone re ceived a communication from the queen , in which her majesty acknowledges the receipt ot the resignation of tha prime minister and cabinet , nnd nleo states that pending consid erntlon of tha resignation of the Gladstone ministry aha had summoned to Balmoral tbo Marquis of Salisbury , In the liouso of lords Grnnvllle announced that Gladstone had ten dered tlio resignation of himse'f and cabinet , and that the queen bad accepted the ; same.

Before the inter state commerce committee to-day nn import ant statement wna mndo by Gen , John Kina- ker , president of the state railroad commis sioners. Ho said it was apparent that con greas thould take some nction on the subject of equal rates in freight transportation. In some casea notably on the Wabaah road in this state rates were lower between points , one of which was in the state and one in an adjoining etato , thnn between points in this state of shorter distance. In the former case , that this was a discrimination was admitted : that it w s an unjust discrimination was hardly to bo questioned. The shipper was not on equal terms with the carrier. Senator Cullom naked what moans congress should take to remedy the evil ? Gen. Klna- ker said the government should furnish tome means to ascertain the facts by preaentlng some moans of investigation , some moans or agency by which facts could be gathered. The officers of roads should be made to fur nish information ns to the methods by which they do their business. llo thought a com mission would be the beat agency congress could furnish for that purpose , but if thic commission undertook to fix maximum ratea , the dillicnlty of the problem would then coimntnce. Senator Harris naked if any powers should be given to such a committee in regard to fix ing rates. Kinaker said that they should bo clothed with powers of n board of arbitra tors , nnd after having ascertained the facts should ou them make recommendations to congress. Ho then explained to the commit tee the law of Illinois under which the rail road nud warehouse commissioners acted. Senator Harris aaked wbatho thought ought to bo the unit of transportation , ono car or five. General Kinsker was inclined to think that one car should be the unit of transpor tation. He did not aee why the small shipper should be discriminated against. Senator Cullom aaked it the witness thought that it would be wise to embody a provision in any law congresi might pies providing that there ehould be no unit quantity but that the same amount might ba cuargpd per pound as par car load. Iho witness thought that they had better start with aomo unit of trans portation. Senator Plntt askoi what wna his exper ience of railroad companies in regard to fur nishing information'Iho witness stated that lie found railroads very prompt in furnishing all the information desiied. Specific com plaints in this state were overcharges and dis crimination. He thought a federal commis sion would have the power to fix rates after consultation with the roads ; that their rates should ba published to tha world , and should not be changed without notice , say twenty days. The question of fixing rates was one full of perplexities , on account of the immense size of the country and the diver sified conditions of the different parts of the country. The commison : ! should not be so large ns to be cumbersome , and yet too small to meet the exlgercncies of tbo caso. Ar n general rule rebates and drawbacks should ba prohibited , but the law should ba ! lexibl9 enough not to discriminate against the customers of ono road in case of a cut in rates by other roads , But any road should bo pro nibitcd from allowing rebates or drawbacks , to discriminate between Its own customers. He thought it wculd bo cafe to pajs a law of a joneral character prohibiting pooling rebates discrimination , and requiring the pub lication of rates , but that elasticity would lave to be a prominent feature of such a law THK HERCULEAN VOSEIl ON A FEROCIOUS BEN DER IN PHILADELPHIA. hpeclal Telegram to The BEE.

The outbounda- riea of the localities mentioned n the npplcatlons for grants are usu- illy of a most general character , in tbo present case thoeo boundaries might lave been found or alleged to be found at uost divorce points. The alleged making of boundaries under the purported judicial pos session was of an unstable character , easily removed aud liable to onrly destruction from natural and other causes. Nothing was oaeier , han to find such alleged monuments wherever ihey were desired , but in the BO called adjudi cation of this case tha boundaries claimed and tbo monuments assorted bo the interest ed parties were accepted as the actual bound aries and monuments ot the grant , which \vas thus swollen from a little over four townships at the most to more than sovonty-five town ships of the public land , ' The proceedings of this office In carying , his extravagant claim through to patent ap- lears to mo to have been of an extraordinary : haracttr.

The commissioner' , ) letter asked for instructions as to future cases only , not to cases previously decided , The secreta ry roplius to this specific request , nud In structs the commissioner in uhat , shall be done in similar case * , but does not say that anything shall bo done In the caaei already settled. Ho is not instructed to reopen any case that had been decided , The commis sioner naked for no instructions In respect to the Maxwell grant und received none. This grant was not before the comuuoner on a re view of the decision of the secretary of 18C'J. Ho had no duty to perform in regard to it , but tie proceeded upon his own motion ap parently , to order a new survey. Ho directed it to be in strict accordance with judicial pos session , not according to the grant which must have been determined by the law ; not according to tha confirmation which made no mention of the alleged mounds by which 2OCO equare miles ot territory waa claimed to have been marked outtas the boundaries of tbo colonization grunt limited under tha Mexican laws to 150 square miles , but precisely according to these aggregated boundaries ; and in accepting the alleged boundaries of judicial possession as deter mined of boundaries under the grant and con Urination no notice appears tp have been taken of the facts disclosed by the record and adverted in tha report of Commissioner Anderson to the secretary in 1600 that the sketch map , purporting to define such bound aries , and In subitautlal accotdanco with which the approved survey was executed , did not accompany the surveyor gcneral'u report , upon which the confirmation was made and wai therefore no part of tuch confirmation but was produced with but slight or no evidence of its authority eleven years after the report wa made , nine years fter the confirmation cf the grant and twcn- ly-slx years subsequent tu the date ef thn doc- ament of possession , of which it was claimed o ba a pirt. The claim to poaiesslon of the xtont so described was contradicted by ram , claimants themselves befcra the depart- nest assembly In 1814 when they stated that ha grant did not exceed fifteen or eighteen ogaues and exhibited to tha assembly the udiclal certificates confirming such state ments , The surveyor general , Mr , II.

There was a firmer feeling and higher market for wheat tc day owing to eevcral causes. A larr i amount of short wheat waa put out yoitor- day with the expectation of much lower prices to-day , Tha market opened only lower and immediately sold up to ic.

This led many to think that possibly the latter authority had made a mistake , and that all the bul reports heretofore given were at leaat as well founded na the estimate of tlio govern ment officials. It seems certain that there must ba a mistake somawhoro about the re ported condition of the growinc wheat.

But that market for a long time has been the highest in the couu- ; ry , nnd the decline was greatly needed to iring it on a level with the others.
