London, July 19.-Cabinet making Is
the absorbing subject Of discussion
here During the week the public was
RECALLED with more or less shrewd pro-
phecies, but no limitations were Civ
en- out by the inner circle Of the inten-
lions OF the premier, a. j. Balfour, re-
garding the successors Of the ministers
who have already resigned or as to how
far the changes In the ministry may
be expected to extend, IL is undeniable
that a very large section OF the Con-
seryatiyes and LIBERAL are
strongly dissatisfied with the ministry
as at present constituted and it Is in
creaslngly apparent that in spite - an
the parliamentary eulogies Of Mr. Bal
four many Unionlsts believe that Gov
eminent OF greater strength and cGpac-
ity could have been established with
Joseph Chamberlain. the colonial secre-
tary, as leader The opirion is freely
expressed on all sides By UnIoniats as
well as the Liberals that the interests of
the empire are so complicated that they
are sorely In need OF the oversight OF a
man Of broader and more forcetul pow
ers, who should be disassociated from
the atmosphere Of constant debate over
the details Of such measures for in
stance as the education bill or the
question of releasing Pathick A. Me
Hugh, the member OF parliament for
North Leltrm, from the penalty OF CON
tempt OF a petty Irish court.
The appointment Of Mr. Chamber
lain to the premiership would have
been received with cold dlsfayor by the
opposition and would have been a red
rag to the Anglophobes but neyerthe-
less there Is a multitude OF government
supporters who would be glad TO have
him as chief, and the Associated Press
Is Informed from sources OF undoubtel
authenticity that Mr. Chamberlain's
claim TO the premiership would have
been recognized as being better than
Mr. Balfour's had he not. whenever 0c-
casion presented itself, urged Mr.. Bal
four's succession against his own.
One important and strong point Of the
late administration which has not yet
become generally known and appre-
ciated and which II Is feared Mr. Bal
four will not fully inherit, was Lord
Sallsbury's persistent resistance to EN-
peror Williams efforts 70 entangle
Great Britain In an alliance with Ger
many. These efforts have been made
at intervals since 1895, and are likely to
be renewed now that Lord Salisbury
has retired.
The chief immediate cause Of appre-
