utes. He found the whips there. but not
Mr.. Balfour, who he learned, was ut Tx
bridge. After resting ten minutes Mr..
Mcdonnell rode to that place and con-
veyed Lord Salisbury'5 message to him.
Mr.. Balfour Immediately returned to
London.
The Boring Sea bill, recently introduced
by Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary secre-
tary of the Foreign Office, is the second
measure in to-morrows list of business in
the House of Commons.
The Chronicle QIiberaD will say that
Mr.. Chamberlain is the real destroyer of
the Government, and that he is virtually
master of the situation.
The Daily Telegraph UiberaD will say
that the British people will not concern
themselves with the technical and tactical
aspects of the great appeal now to be made
to the country, but will pronounce the in
evitable sentence on weak and dangerous
administration for what it has done and
undone.
The Standard CONSERVATIVE will say to-
morrow: 'Tne decisive voice as to whether
the Government should resign or continue
in office was that of Sir William Vernon
Harcourt. He declined to attempt to carry
on business with the present reduced and
uncertain majority" The paper adds that
there is reason to believe that besides the
Liberal Unlonist leaders, the Duke of Dew
onshire and Mr.. Chamberlain, Sir Henry
James, for some time Solicitor General and
Acknowledgement in one of Mr.. Gladstone's
Cablnetssbut opposed to home rule for Ire
land, and the Marquis of Lansdowne, ex-
Viceroy of India and ex-Governor-Genera
OF Canada, will be invited to join the new
Government. Mr.. Gladstone's return to
England, he having gone on cruise on
steamer as a guest of Sir Donald Currie, is
anxiously awaited. An impression exists in
Liberal quarters that he will issue a mani
festo in support of the Liberia, programme.
The Times tomorrow will say that Lord
Salisbury will be Prime Minister, but that
he is unlikely to reunite with that
Office the heavy labors of the Foreign
Office, which will go to the Duke of Devon
shire if he desires to accept it. The paper
does not regard this as an ideal arrange
ment, as Lord Salisbury has unequaled
knowledge of foreign affairs, while the
Duke of Devonshire's strength is merely
domestic. Yet the latter possesses pru-
dence, firmness, sound commonsense and
high patriotic feeling, while he will always
have Lord Salisbury's vast fund of diplo-
matte information and political insight to
draw upon.
Mr.. Balfour will be the Government
leader in the House of Commons. Mr..
Chamberlain can claim the very highest
office in the Cabinet next to the three
offices. The greatest opening for the dis
play of his abilities and energies is in the
War Office, where vast and vital work of
reform must be carried out.
The Times places Sir Michael Hicks
Beach as Chancellor of the Exchequer, the
Right Hon. George ]. Goschen as First
Lord of the Admiralty, and the Right Hon.
Lord Henry Courtney as President OF the
Board of Trade.
The Times contends that in a Unionist
coalition Government Mr.. Balfour's BIZ
metallist opinions would make him i'm
possible as Chancellor of the Excheauer.
