SALISBURY.
Though the Marquis of Salisbury
well deserved a rest, he is not out of
touch with diplomacy, but is kept con-
stantly Informed of the progress of all
the negotiations and has succeeded in
doing a. bit of diplomacy on his own
account since he left England. 1t is
asserted that the premier has man
aged to materially advance the West
African negotiations. In fact, it is said
they have been sufficiently advanced to
give reason to believe that a salts
factory settlement viii be announced
when parliament reassembles on Mon
day. On the reassembiing of the house
of commons. it's first business will be
that of supply.
The Marquis of Salisbury will return
to England on May g. when, club Cos
sip asserts, he will resign the lord war
denship of the Cirque ports and be
succeeded by Lord George Hamilton,
the secretary of state for India. Al
though the premier is better able to
walk about, returning Riviera travellers
say he does so with difficulty and lean
ing on his private secretary. 1t is
than usual and that his face has not
recovered the ruddy hue which is
habitual in his case when in good
health.

tubes to emit fuidescent rays. 1t works

thereby can be charged with electricity
and the magnet changes direction I'M
der its influences.
