SALISBURY TO RETIRE.

British Premier Anxions to Relinquish the Cares of Office. The London Daily Chronicle announces that in view of Lord Salisbury’s desire to resign the premiership an early reconstruction of the cabinet is probable. According to the Daily Chronicle no serious difference of opinion exists among the ministers on matters of policy, but

Lord Salisbury finds his health unequal to the strain and burden of liis two offices of premier and foreign minister. So great is his desire for rest that on his recent visit to Beaulieu he did not even take his secretary. Moreover, the premier is much concerned about the health of the marchioness of Salisbury, which is far from good.

LORD SALISBURY.
