London, Eng. Oct Gas a Consei yative
majority daily becomes moro assured,
| speculation as to the personnel of thu
next cabinet grows rife, and all sorts
Of guesses are published. None of
these, however, seems inspired. All
take 1t for granted that sweeping
| changes will be made, but this concirA
sion, The Associated Press learns, Is
uniustifed. The facts are that Lord
Salisbury, always upcommunicative
has not broken the habit Of his life
for the benefit of close friends, or even
fellow cabinet members; but from al
peer, high in Conservative councils,
The Associated Press learns that the
go similar to that of its predecessor
that it will come as startling sur
prise. Pr Y ~ -
The Marquis, of Lansdowne, who.
next to Mr.. Chamberlain, is the object
of more attacks than any other cabinet
member, can have the War Office port
folio again, il he desires, and he proba-
bly, will accept 1t, as he has implicit
belief in Lord Roberts, and Is anxious
to cooperate with him in reforms
which. he has been contemplating for
some time, but would not commence
with Lord Wolseley, the late comman4
der-in chief, and Gen. Sir Evelyn
Wood, the adjutant-general, with
whom his relations are greatly strained.
Il is untrue that either Lord Lanss
downe or the Duke Of Marlborough has
been offered the Lord Lieutenancy Of
Ireland, and IL Is improbable that
either will have such an offer, though
Earl ,Cadogan does intend to retire,
much to the relief Of the fading Cone
serrstives in ireland, who are bitterly
opposed to Gerald Balfour's 1.-THE chief
secretary and Earl Cadogan' y attempts
at non partisan government. 'tt
Lord Salisbury will resume the
Premiership and the 4 oreign Office
portfolio; at least everything he has
said to- his fellow members OF the
cabinet points to his doing 30.
Probably the only real iimpoi tant
change made will be In the Admiralty,
for which the Right Hon. Robert
William Hamburg is being lfarorably
considered, though Lord George Hamil-
ton, who formerly was at the head Of
the Adm iralty, cotIId have the poi tfolio
again, but he prefers to remain at the
head OF the India Office. 7 ~ 10 Ia
The Earl Of Selbprne, at present Mr..
Chamberlain's assistant, has been
selected for rreferment. He is RI
garded as one of the strongest men in
the government, and may have q s, at
in the cabinet in place Of the Right
Hon. Walter Long. president of The
Board Of Agriculture. II he does, he
will add one more to the long list OF
Lord Salisbury s relatives controlling 2
Eng glands destinies, as he married the
Premier's daughter. Nv

Hon. P. j. Stanhcpe's" reverse at
Burnley Is CONSTRUED by the Conserva-
tives as a direct rebuke for his bitter
denunciation Of Mr.. ChNnberlain, but
Mr.. Stan.ope adheres to his attitude,
reiterating that he is ready to prove
in the courts that Mr.. Chamherlain

member had letters in his pocket in

represented East CarmarthenshireA in
the last Parliament. In the meanwhile,
