LONDON, Oct. lG.-Thc Conservatives
have been prcmaturcly jubilant over

Goschcn. Members OF tho Carlton
Club, after passing pleasant day OF
excitement over tho supposed success
Of their presentations TO Lord Sails
bury, recCiyedthc shock OF disappointing
kilograms from Dalfour, denying that
he had been offered the leadership.
Numerous congratulations tclcgraphcd
him during tho day on his acceptance
OF tho post elected responses, some OF
which shown TO intimate friends OF his
in the Carlton club, left distinct i'm
preston OF reluctance to take the load.
Behind Mr.. Balfour's os.cnsiblc rca-
sons for not taking the lead OF the party
in tho House OF Commons ut tho pres
cnt juncturc, he doubtless is influenced
by feeling OF aversion to have his carly
period OF leadership signalizcd by tho
coming decisive defeat OF the party.
The feeling OF the Washington Ecu
mcnical Conference toward tho union
OF churches has not tho entire SYM
pathy OF Methodists here. The pro-
posed conferences for biingin. about

bers OF the London Wesleyan council
are doubtful on the early probability Of

Referring to protection OF homo in.

to follow the teachings OF England's

turn to capital has not been per cent.

not added TO the goods produced and

are in accord with the proposition,
