LONDON, August u Although Dis
raeli is to be elevated to the peersge, he
will remain prime minister. Sir Stat
ford NOrthcOte will become the leader
Of the house Of commons. 1t is the gen
eIal impression that the Conservatives
are weakened by the change, but Dis
raeli is physically unable to sustain the
labor OF the leadership of the house. It
is rumored that other cabinet changes
will be made after the proTOgation-
| namely: Sir Charles B. Adierly, presi.
dent OF the board of trade, and Lord
John Manners, postmaster general, are
| to be offered peeTsges; William II.
! Smith, the member from WestminstaT,
| and one of the j)int secretaries Of the
| treasury, is to replace Sir Charles Adj
| derly, and some sub0rd nate member Of
| tue government Lord Manners.

one session it has been manifest that the
task of leading the house Of commons
was growing too burdensome for the
prime minister, who never spared him.

time and energies. His accession to the
peersgs is not so much promotion as 3

commons at the close Of the session in
which he has been the center of strong
personal discussions, bus it cannot be
doubted that his removal was contem-

alone. Further changes must take place
