AFRAID OF CHAMBERLAIN
Salisbury Is a Very Sick Man, But
Grimly Holds TO Office.
BALfouR IS 10 BE HIS SUCCESSOR
But II Is Feared That the House OF
Cecil May Be Ousted by the
Commoner.

New York May 2o.--The Worlds London
sable says; Precisely the same pathetic
game is being played over Lord salisbury's
health as over that OF Queen Victoria for
six months before the end.
Despite official deninls the dispatches he
fore Sallsbury's return from Beauleu were
amply corrobomted by his appearance in
the house OF lords Tuesday night. The
spectacle shocked every one. He was
hardly able to rise from his seat and his
speech was entirely inaudible In the press
gallery. The newspapers had TO get the
text from the official reporter who sits
near the ministerial speakers The pre-.
nliers manner was so llstless. his face so
gray and his gestures and voice were SO
feeble that Lord Roseberry sitting oppo-
site turned to the earl OF Camperdown and
said
He is terribly III. 1t is dangerous for
him to attempt to speak; he will break
down"
However. he did not break down, but his
enunciation, always so clear cut was DIN
inously muffled, and his voice. usually so
penetrating and resonant, died away OH
his lips.
Every one is talking about the pathetic
figure he cut and is wondering how the
press came to say that he returned from
Beaulieu with yigor fully restored.
Owing to the comment caused by the
statement issued Friday that he was much

day It Is understood that the King plainly
limited that he should not sacrifice himself
so duty, but should seek the rest he plain
ly needed. but Lord Salisbury did not take
the hint.
1t Is said that he has a morbid fear that
his retirement might lead TO Chamberlain
busting Balfour and seiZing the leadership
Of the uulonlst party, but according to the
latest rumors II has been agreed among the

with the first lordship Of the treasury,
