be forecast with any degree of confidence.
The Queen IS known to have strong preferences
and prejudices and while she does not interfere
with the Prime Minister'S function Of selecting
his associates, she will be likely TO express her
opinions without reserve when the expeoiency OF
he reconstruction Of the Cabinet is concerned
There IS one subject which the Queen is
generally believed 10 have a strong opinion;
tbis IS the management Of the War ONCE dur
ing the campaign, and especially the publication
n the Spion Kop dispatches, which met with
her disapproval. Military men. who pay little
heed To the rumor mongers, are drawing their
own inference from Lord Salisburys visit to the
Highlands. They assert that Lord Salisbury's
unwillingness TO lose the services Of Lord Lans-
downe in the War Office viii be overcome before
be returns.
The Cabinet makers are bringing Lord Curzon
back to London out Of consideration for his

tions.
What is unusual IS the peculiar manner in
which this fresh compact has been sprung upon
Europe That battles conjecture unless Lord
Salisbury received a loud signal from his Ger
man partner TO lead trumps
At the invitation Of the Government Lord
Wolseley has consented to remain in office as
Commander-in-Chief until the end of the year
IN consequence Of the detention Of Lord Roberts
on questions Of administration in South Africa
This announcement is made by the well known
military expert, Charles Williams who is on
very friendly terms with General Wolseley, and

The Queen did not pay her customary visit to
the South Of France last winter. and the shop
keepers Of the French Riviera suffered fnan-
ciaIIy in consequence. They will not be pleased,
therefore, to know that Her Majesty proposes to
desert the French for the Italian Mediterranean
shore in the forthcoming season.
