London, Oct. 6.--As a conservative
majority daily becomes more and more
assumed, speculation as to the personnel
of the next cabinet grows rife and all
sorts of guesses are published. None of
these, however. seem inspired. All take
it for granted that sweeping n
will be made, but this conclusion, the
Associated Press learns. is uniusritied.
The facts are that Lord Salisbury, al
ways uncommunicative. has not broken
the close friends or even fellow cabinet
members. from a peer, high in con-
servatiye councils, the Associated Press
learns that the makeup of the next
cabinet will be SO similar to that of it's
predecessor that il will come as a star
Ting surprise.
The Marquis of I.ansiowne who. next
to Mr.. Chamberlain, is the object of
more attacks than any other cabinet
member. can have the war office port
folio again if he desires. and he probably
will accept it, as he has implicit belief
in Lord Roberts. and is nxiou to CO..
operate with him in reforms which he
has been contemplating for some time,
but would not commence with Lord
Wolseley, the late commander-in-chief,
and General Sir Evelyn Wood. the ad-
jutant general. with whom his relations
are greatly strained. :,
It is untrue that either Lord Lans-
downe or the Duke of Marlborough has
been offered the Lord lieutenancy Of Ire
land, and it IS quite improbable that
either VIII have such an offer, though
Earl Cadogan does intend to retire,
much to the RELIEF Of thu leading con-
~servatives in Ireland, WHO are bitterly
opposed to Nj. Gerald Balfour (thc chief
secretary. and Earl Caiogan's attempt
at non-partisan government.
Lord salisbury viii resume the pre-
miershtp and the foreign Office port
folio-at least everything h has said to
MS Fellow members of the cabinet points
to his doing SO. Probably the only
really important change will be in the
admiralty, for which the TT. Hon. Rob-
ert VILLAIN Hamburg is being favorabiy
considered. though Lord George Hamil-
ton. who formerly was at the head of
the admiralty, could have the portfolio
again, but ne prefers TO remain at the
head of the Indian Office. The Earl of
Selbourne. at present Mr.. Chamber
Iain'S assistant, has been selected for
prefernent. He is regarded as one of
the strongest men In the government.
ana may have a seat in the abine in
place OF the Right Hon. Walter Long,
president of the board of Agriculture.
II he does, ne VIII add one more to the
long list Of Lord Salisbury's relatives
controlling England's Gestinies, as he
married the premier's daughter.
The vigorous personal attacks upon
Mr.. Chamberlain continue, and seem to
gather bitterness as TIE reality of de-
feat dawns upon the liberals. The Hon.
+. j. Stanhope's reverse at Burnely is
construed by the conservatives as a di-
rect rebuke for his bitter Genunciations
of Mr.. Chamberlain, but Mr.. Stanhope
adheres to his attitude. 2eiterating that
he is ready to prove in the courts that
Mr. Chamberlain only "whitewashed"
Cecil Rhodes IN the house of
because another member had letters in
his pocket incriminating Mr.. Chamber
lain with the raid. This member, though
not named by Mr.. Stanhope. the Asso-
ciated Press learns is Mr.. Abel Thomas,
q liberal, who represented East Carmar-
thenshire in the last parliament.
IN the meanwhile Mr.. Chamberlain is
apparently unnloved and is serenely
sending messages to the nation and
stumpins the country, putting all his
vigor and strong personality into the
campaign, in marked contrast with the
other cabinet ministers. While Mr.,
Chamberlain is the one interesting fig
ure IN the struggle in England, there
are in Ireland several men and issues
stirring up the country as never before
ana 1t would excite the greatest interest
were 1t not for the fact that England
Is so occupied With her own local in
terests. 1t is claimed that Timothy
Healy has split the Irish party to al
most as great a degree as did the late
Charles Stewart Parnell. and that the
bitterness injected into the fight EQUALS
that of the historic division. TIL Free
mans Journal declares hat any one
voting for Mr.. Healy's candidate is
without an atom of se~lf-respect." and
declares his campaign as one of "sacrat
ralumny and villification.' The paner
blames him for the loss of GALWAY. saw
