LORD SALISBURY
SUCCEEDED BY BALFOUR
Retiring Premier Gives Advancing Years
And Failing Health as Reasons.
MANY RUMORs OF OTHER CHANGES.
The New Chief Of the Cabinet, II Is Stated,
Will Remain Government Leader IN the
House OF Commons Chamberlain Is said
to accept the New Situation Ia a most
Cheerful Manner

London (By Cable).-The Marquis
Of Salisbury has resigned the premier
ship of Great Britain, and A. J. Balfour,
first lord OF the treasury and govern
ment leader in the House of Commons,
has been appointed to succeed him. Mr..
Balfour visited the King and accepted
the premiership.
While it was expected in official and
political circles that Lord Salisbury S
retirement would be coincident with the
coronation of King Edward, it was
scarcely looked for prior to that event
Consequently, about the only surprise
expressed as the news spread through
London concerned the date rather than
the fact of the resignation. The real
interest was not so much in reference
to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal as 1t
was in the appointment of his success
sor.
The liveliest speculation is rife as to
the personnel of the new cabinet. The
most discussed features of the pending
changes is the position of Mr.. Chamber
lain, the colonial secretary, who in
many quarters has been REGARDED as the
most promising candidate for the pre-
miership.
1t is learned that prior to the accept
ance OF his new office Mr.. Balfour first
had an interview with Mr.. Chamberlain
and then consulted with his other cabi-
net associates. This is regarded as as
Al.
tons OF Messrs. Balfour and Chamber
lain will be satisfactory to both. Mr..
Chamberlain's friends say he always
recognized the reversion OF the pre-
miership to be Mr.. Baliour's. right as
government leader in the House OF
Commons.

They couldn't be drunk, Doc" said

Now, see here. Them cows has
two stomachs, and when you gave 'em
them apples they just loaded up the
second stomach, where they stores
things, like all ruminants does, with
apples. They kept them there till
they fermented and then they all got
drunk. That's just what was the mat

The logic of this explanation APP

they agreed as to the cause of the jag.

correct one, as the COWS have been all

Fifteen fine Jersey cows on the
Whitney Point Stock Farm went on a
disgraceful spree last Monday and al
most frightened the men In charge of
them out of their wits.
For long time no one knew just
what was the matter with the cows.
They went Keeling across the fields
like lot of drunken soldiers, rolling
their eyes, and every once in while
giving vent to the most hideous bowls.
When they got tired they either
leaned against one another or against
the fences, and that was the way the
men found them when they screwed
up enough courage to go out in the
field and investigate.
A hurry call was sent to Bingham
ton for a veterinary, because there
was such unmistakable signs of suf
fering on the part of the COWS that the
men thought they were poisoned.
When the veterinary took look at
the cows he was puzzled. They were
glassy-eyed and tired. Those that had
fallen asleep were sleeping so soundly
that they couldn't be walked up even
with a pitchfork. The local veterin-
aries were called in to assist the man
from Binghamton, and the three sat
up with the cows all night long.
The next morning the cows ap-
peared to be all right. True, most of
them looked a trife ashamed, but on
the whole they seemed in fair shape
and quite ready to go back to eating
grass and making milk. 1t wasn't I'M
