| Russia that his ministry is a menace of war
he will cancel the appointment of Lord Ran
| dolph Churchill as secretary of state for
India. Russia, continues the article, ''al-
ready regards the Salisbury cabinet with
such suspicion that any sudden hitch may
| cause such a rupture of the negotiations now
| in progress as will result in war;
| Mr. Chamberlain, president Of the board of
| trade, speaking at meeting in favor Of his
brothers candida e for parliament, said that
| Lords}andolph Churchill had his foot on
