stood 10 have been caused by the prime
minister's failing health.
There has been complete silence on
the subject for three weeks, the only
indication that he was not recovering
being afforded by the postponing OF his
been in London yesterday, but he has
not yet left his Riviera residence.
The attack of influenza before Easter
left him extremely enfeebled. and the
news from Beaulieu received iny Lon

nateIy resisting NIL treatment and has
now reached a grave point.
/ The World correspondent yesterday

Lord Salisbury's sons, II ii Is true that
the premier is seriously ILL., He re-
piled:
II know of no ground for such a
statement"
The possibility of Lord Salisbury's
retirement has been freely canvassed
in political circles. His death would
not dissolve the ministry, but would
lead to its reconstruction.
The World correspondent hears that
King Edward would first ask the Duke
OF Deyonshire to take the premiership
and If he should refuse would then
ask Mr. Balfour to accept 1t.
Mr.. Chamberlain Is now regarded as
quite "out of the running"

this place, and Mrs. l.. b. Clarke,

their home on Cimarron avenue,
where they were pleasantly sur
prised to find the Springer Concert
band, all decked out in their best,
ready to play some of their best Sc
lections, which they did to the de-
light of all, for the boys blew as
as they never blew before, after
which the groom thanked them in n
