London, April 7.— Great Britain in a peculiar position, being without either premier or miniatiy. The long expected resignation of Sir Henr Campbell-Bannerman, the prime min later, wag officially announced Satur day night. According to the court cir cular, he resigned on the urgent recom mendation of his medical advisers, arid as the constitution provides no auto matic successor, it resting with the kirg to choose a new head of the gc\en, merit, and in aocoidance with the cur tom and precedent, the whole cabinet lesigns with the premier, no step to appoint a ministry can be taken until Herbert H. Asquith, chancellor of the exchequer, who lias been summoned to Biarritz for the purpose, has seen the king. The position of the country is quite unprecedented, there being no previous example of a change occurring in the premiership while the sovereign war abroad. On this account the course of procedure to oe followed is in sc doubt. Sir Henry’s condition remains un changed, according to the physicians' bulletin. The king, [in telegraphing his acceptance of the premier’s resign» tion, conveyed an expression of his re gret and esteem, with beat wishes for Sir Henry’ s recovery. Washington, April 6.— Alter havin the Spokane rate case under considers tion for more than one year, the Iu tir state Commerce coinmitaion is appar ently hopelessly divided legardiug tt decision which should be rende,ed The case Is the D.o-t important upon the dockets of the commission, aud up nn It hinges the entire rate fahiic of the United States. If the ccmmisslon^ehould decide with Ibe shippers of Spokane, the theory up on whioli the railroads have made rates from the earliest days will be upset and pa-t decisions on the short aud long haul clause of the commerce act w ill be more or lees nullified. On the other hand, if the commission refuses te dis turb the pieeent adjustment, a long sti toward establishing the justice of the ratemaking methods of tiie railroads will have been taken. Rec. gniziug tie import of the case, the commission went into a moet careful and elaborate inves tigation and bearing of all the facts and listened to arguments from a largi number of the business. ra.lr ad and commercial lawyers in the West. Since Ihe arguments were heard the commission has had numerous confer ences regard ng a decision, and it de velops that there are at least three dil ferent views which thus far have proved irreconcilable. The commission has struggled in vain to get a major ty re port and apparently is in a deadlock. The case is one which had been both ering the railroad* in the Northwest ior years prior to the commission’s being given greater powers. Owing to water competition, according to the railroads the rates to Spokane from the Eastern seaboard are the rates to the Pacifie coast, plus the local rates from the Pa cific coaet back to Spokane. The latter city insists that this is unfair. P O L IC Y IS C H A N G E D .
