Lord Salisbury Soon to Relinquish Office of Premier.
New York, April 2.-The retirement of Lord Salisbury from public life is much nearer than is generally believed, says the London correspondent of the Tribune.
Nothing is likely until the budget speech has been made in parliament, the civil list sanctioned and financial support for the fiscal year virtually arranged.
But there will be a new prime minister before the session ends and the ministry may be changed at one or two points. One forecast may be repeated with confidence, as there is high authority for it. This is the speedy appointment of Mr. Balfour as prime minister with elevation to the peerage. Mr. Chamberlain will then become the leader in the commons and the aggressive force of the government will be greatly increased.
