there exists some doubt in the public

attaches to his acceptance of the task

Mr.. Gladstone was in consultation
with Lord Rosebery and other leaders

nothing has been given out as to their
decision on these questions.
Makup of the Nav Cabinet.
Gossip continues busy as to the
makeup of the coming cabinet, and the
best opinion seems to be that the Duke

of foreign secretary, with Mr.. Balfour
as first lord Of the treasury. Mr..

Of state for war. @I#. 4T#
The notice sent to Conservative
agents throughout the country to pre-
pare for a dissolution is Indicative Of
Lord salisbury's plans. The Conserva-
tives and Liberal Unionists are seen to
be in perfect accord, and no embarrass-
ment is anticipated in the makeup Of
the cabinet from conflicting claims Of
the allied parties, which are NOW prac-
tically one. Mr.. Goschen, who was
chancellor of the exchequer in former

HIGH SCHOOL SITE.
Good Location But Big Prices Are
Asked.
The Cost Of Land at the Corner OF
Pond and Spring Streets.

The selection of q location for tho pro-
posed new High School has not been de-
cided upon and the property owners OF
five different sites are anxiously awaiting
the action OF the committee, each one
hoping to secure the city as purchaser.
As whole the committee has taken no
definite action and no official opinion has
been announced, but today the site which
seems the most desirable to several men,
bers as individuals is that at the corner OF
Pond and Spring streets. 1t is directly
across Spring street from the present
High School Building and as pro-
pinquity is everything in the
opinion of those interested, the
property, SO far as mere location is con-
cerned, is without any question the most
suitable. The only objection TO IL is i'm
the prices asked for the several estates in
volved.
The total area of this piece OF land Is
34,500 square feet, with a frontage OF $50
feet on Spring street and 230 feet on Pond
street. The aggregate price asked is
s6S 500, including the buildings on all the
lots, or SOC, 500 including the buildings on
all the lots except the corner one.
