The Succession to the Premiership.
LONDON, June 17th. Nearly all the American and Continental newspapers contain appreciative articles on Lord Salisbury. They dwell at length on his supreme statesmanship and the enduring work he has accomplished as a empire builder. Many papers pince him on plane with the greatest statesmen of the century, and attribute to him, more than to any member of his Cabinet, the happy issue of many imbroglios, in which England has been involved during the last decade. The Continental Press is amazed that a political change of such far reaching importance is accepted ia England in a spirit of equanimity.
A Possible Candidate.. The Right. Honorable William Hanbury, President of the Board of Agriculture, is pro minently mentioned as a candidate to succeed.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach as - Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The French Press Relieved. The Parisian papers express a sense of great relief that Lord Salisbury's mantle falls on Mr. Balfour, to whom they attribute the well- balanced wisdom of the late Premier. They use the occasion to severely criticize Mr. Chamberlain.
The Vienna Press Eulogistic. In Vienna the press is unanimous in regretting the departure of Lord Salisbury from the stage of politics. An influential organ speaks of him as the most prominent statesman since Bismarck.
New York Tribune" Prédiots New Era.
The New York Tribune speaks of the late Premier in-laudatory terms. It considers that Mr. Balfour's accession denotes the end of the old era. The New York Herald expresses the gratitude of the United States to Lord Salis. bury, attributing to his efforts the cementing of the ties of friendship between England and America.
