The Norfolk Strike.

Four companies of the Seventy-first
Virginia Regiment, which have been on
duty in Norfolk since the street railway
strike began, were ordered Monday to
return home. There is noexcitement, and
the non.union men operating the cars,
though unprotected by soldiers, are I'M
molested. The cars are being more
literally patronized. Public sympathy,
which in the beginning favored the strik-
ers. has changed This is due mainly to
the action OF the strikers in refusing to
abide by the decision OF the arbitration
committee Some soldiers are still re-
tanned on dutyin case of trouble. Cars

Cont Of Appeals Decisions.

The Virginia Court of Appeals, in the
case of Dr. Otto Meyer, who sned for the
custody of his child, was affirmed. After
a divorce of DIR. Meyer and his wife, the
child was given into her custody and a
suit was brought by him to secure it. 1t
was argued that DR. Meyer was not a
believer in Christianity. and therefore
should not have the child. The court
does not discuss this phase of the case
but. after quoting several cases, lays
down the rule that the welfare OF the
child requires that it be left with its
mother

it has always been admitted that on

al and had no political significance
Later in the day, while entering the
house of commons, Balfour met with a
great reception, not only from his sup
porters but from the members of the
opposition. The resignation of Hicks
Beach caused intense surprise. Gen
orally taken 1t is almost of more i'm
portance that that of Lord Salisbury
and is regarded in some quarters as
being directly due to the more impor
tant voice which Chamberlain will
have in the new cabinet.
Lord Salisbury Resigns.
Lord Salisbury has resigned the pre-
miership of Great Britain and Balfoul
is now prime minister. The following
official communication was issued
from Downing street last evening:
"On Friday last the Marquis of Sails

and rendered his resignation. which
was graciously accepted by his majes
ty. His majesty subsequently com
municated with Arthur Balfour. who
forthwith had an interview with Mr.
Chamberlain. Mr.. Balfour, having
then consulted with other members o
the ministry, was received by the kins
on Saturday at Buckingham and ac
cepted the post of prime minister va
Gated by Lord Salisbury"
His First Prerniership.
Lord Salisbury first became premie
in June, 1885 and has served in thi
and other government positions during
the years that have interviewed A
the time of the death of Queen Victor
ia he wished to resign and only remain
ed at the urgent request of King Ed
ward. But he has gradually lost touci
with the affairs of the nation, and tn,
official announcement that the kin.
has at last accepted his resignation
does not cause any surprise.
Arthur j. Balfour.
Arthur James Balfour was born il
Scotland, July %, 1S4S, the son o
James Maitland Balfour and Lad,

the second marquis of Salisbury.
