10 Now Said.
London July Sat the earliest possible moment
Lord Salisbury contempates retiring from public NE
But that from the affairs OF the empire which
he has so long administered is not likely to come until
after the coronation and may possibly be still further
delayed by reasons OF state politics Dur
ing the last few months the premier has more ana
more detached himself from the cares OK office With
increasing age his dislike OF publicity and dread OF
details which high office holding involves, have been
strengthened into antipathy strong to render
even the conservative leaders less importunate In
their demands that he remain premier. Those who
have recently been brought into contact with the aged
statesman privately comment on his absentminded-
ness, which is only overcome by great effort when IT
is absolutely necessary for him to deliver public
utterence on question of Importance. Peace In South
Africa having been procured Lord Salisbury is said TO
have considered the orowning of the king as the mo
melt when his services to the nation most hty be
ended. One OF those intimately associated with the
premier during his political career more so perhaps
than any other person, said to representative OF the
Associated Press today; "I suppose that no one
can have failed to notice that Lord Salisbury lately
has seemed to be slipping more and more away from
pubic life. The reports OF his failing mentality are
largely exaggerated but for long time it has been
an open secret that he is extremely anxious to retire
do not know any reason for believing that he will
announce his determination in the immediate future
but fear it is only matter of short time, perhaps
after the coronation"
The curiously yelled lntimaton n the Times this
morning when referring to the appointment Of schom
bert Mcdonnell the private secretary to Lord Sails
bury to succeed Lord Esher as secretary OF his ma
estys office OF works, that paper said It thought it
doubtful if Lord Salisbury will try TO find new secre
tary, adding that the appointment Of Mr.. Mcdonnell
can not fail revive the rumor Of the premers resig
nation after the coronation This is the only notih
cation here that the ottrepeated baseiess ruor is
now on the verge Of becoming a fact
The Westminster Gazette GiberaD. while not pro-
Tossing to know the truth otherwise OF the Times
rumor, sadly admits that il lord Salisbury retres It
will bring the liberals into power and propheses
that the uuonist party if Salisbury goes, will proba-
bly, along the line of least resistance make Mr..
Bafour premier, leave Mr. Chamberlain at the colo
NAL office aud exchange some old lamps for new by
the process which is called reconstruction. How long
the reconstructed government might last whether
Mr.. Baltour and Mr. Chamberlain might not change
places before the end OF parliament, are questions
which at present are too speculative to answer"
