tinues to progress satisfactorily. His
general condition is excellent and his
wound is healing well.
London, July 14.-Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain position in the re-
constructed cabinet is regarded As the
most interesting feature of the situation
created by Lord Salisbury's resignation
The Manchester Guardian says that
though Chamberlain remains unthroned
and can now hardly expect to become
Premier, Salisbury resignation removes
the chief counterpoise to the Colonii |
Secretary's influence.
The conservatives met at the ForeiI n
Office today. The Right Hon. Arthur

on entering was loudly cheered. The
new premier made a short speech. lie
said: 1--WE have lost the services OF a
chief who has been active in political
life for fifty years. The loss is irrepara-

fill the gap, but the place must be
filed, because the king desires me to
do my best" He was unable to rely,
he continued, on the assistance of all his
colleagues, especially Sir Michael Hicks
Beach. but the latter had his best wishes.
The announcement of Hicks Beach' 5
resignation caused sensation.
After the Duke of .Devonshire had
spoken Sir Michael Hicks-Beach ex-
planned that he had only kept his office
AS Chancellor of the Exchequer at
Salisbury's solicitation, until the war
was over. He now sought retirement,
he said, for purely personal reasons.
The other members of the party then
pledged their support to the new
premier. After the meeting Balfour
went to the House of Commons. He
was received with unbounded cordiality.
Sir Michael Eiks-Beach has been
Chancellor of the Exchequer since June
1895. Recently he has not been in en-
tire accord with his colleagues over the
conduct of the financial affairs of the
kingdom.

FROM WASHINGTON.

lCOfrcbpOnuenoc OF tne Atexanurla uazette.J
Washington, ID. c., July IA.
Much talk has arisen in political cir
Giles lately over the alleged GOODNESS
existing between Congressman Hay and
Swanson, of Virginia, due to the failure
of the latter to support the former in
his candidacy for the speakership of the
next House should that body be demo-
cratic. 1t is not believed that the differ
ences are as serious AS reported. 1t is
said that Mr.. Swanson had committed
himself for Mr.. Richardson, of Tennes-
see, before learning of Mr.. Hays aspira-
tons. With this exception all the MEM
bers of the Virginia delegation are urg-
ing the claims of Mr. Hay and giving
him their hearty support, for he has al
ready attained much prominence in Con-
gress, and is recognized as one who, as
Speaker, would reflect much credit on
his party.
The army uniform board has recon-
mended a gorgeous dress coat for officers.
1t is designed with wide breasts and
stripes of gold lace on the collar and

worn point up. The trimming will be
red, yellow or light blue, according to
the arm of the service.

PHILLIPS ACADEMY, of Andoyer,
Mass. has been the focus of much adj
verse criticism of late on account OF the
wholesale cheating of its students on an
entrance examination to Princeton. The
faculty of the academy are naturally
worried over the publicity of the affair
and are making attempts to place the
blame ON Princeton. They say that the
authorities of the latter place allowed
anyone to take the examinations, crowd
ed the men together, and gave them am
ple opportunities for cheating. Now
these excuses are both feeble and abb
surd, end the Andover people should
shoulder the responsibility, for it is eyi-
dent that the fault lies wholly in. their
students. No matter what precautions
are taken, cheating cannot be prevented
if those under examination desire to do
40. and no one who is morally opposed
to it will take advantage of an opportu-
nity when such is afforded. The Uni
versity of Virginia maintains the honor
system successfully, but among northern
colleges it does not seem tothrive. The
sum of the matter is that the Phillips
Academy students wanted to cheat, had
a chance to cheat, and cheated.

THE VENERABLE Lord Salisbury has

Great Britain and Mr. Baliour has as

them being that of newspaper man.

bones charges are true or not remains
to be seen. At any rate, the history Of

RESIGNATION OF LORD SAILS.
BURY.

The Marquis of Salisbury, who has
been prime minister of England since
June, 1895, has resigned that Office. He
will be succeeded in the premiership by
the Right Hon. Arthur j. Balfour, at
present first tlord of the treasury and gov
eminent leader in the House of Com
mons.
Lord Salisbury's quiet laying down of
the premiership amid the present COM
motion, anxiety, and rejoicings comes as
a great astonishmenttO England. There
was not hint that the king had said
farewell to his first prime minister and
appointed his second. No doubt the
reason the Marquis of Salisbury will give
for his retirement will be old age. He
can hardly be in week health, for he was
seen one morning week ago trtcycling
energectically in st. James Park with
his daughter Gwendolin.
The newspapers, which are unanimous
in paying tributes to Lord Salisbury's
personal character, are divided as to
whether to expect new departures in
policy to follow the resignation. Much
depends on whether Mr.. Balfour will go
to the House of Lords.
His personal amiability and amateur
ishness made him failure as leader in
the House of Commons, where the gov
enment's domestic legislative pro-
gramme is nov in such hopeless confn-
sion that a special autumn session has
already been decided upon. If he ac-
cepts a peerage it is certain that Mr.
will become government
leader in the House Of Commons,
probably still retaining the colonial

alleging the discovery Of Il plot to as

The Senate has protested against this
violation of its immunities. The plot is
not generally considered to be serious,
but public opinion is alarmed by the
violent course President Cuestas is taking,
He has provoked an open conflict with
