HICkS.BEACH RESIGNS
Chancellor Of Exchequer Leaves cabl
net With Salisbury,

London, July 15.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the exchequer,
has resigned from the British cabinet
as a result OF the retirement of Lord
Salisbury as premier and the appoint
ment of A: J. Balfour, government
leader in the house of commons, as his
successor. This announcement was
made yesterday, and caused great sur
prise to those who had predicted that
70 ministerial disturbance would fol-
low the change of premiers. Rumors
are now spreading to the effect that
other changes will follow.
The resignation of Sir Michael Hicks
Beach was generally taken to be almost
more important than Lord Salisbury's,
and was regarded in some quarters as
being directly due to the more i'm
portant voice which Mr.. Chamberlain
will have in the new cabinet.
The position OF Joseph Chamberlain,
colonial secretary, is the chief subject
Of discussion. Those who seem to
know say that he will retain his port
folio in much the same conditions as
under Salisbury. The basis for this
belief is that Balfour consulted Cham
berlain before accepting his new Office
1t is surmised that some compromise
was effected by which the disappointed
minister has been conciliated.

King Edward conferred upon Lord Sal
isbury at last Fridays audience the

PLANNING MANOUVRES
Arranging For Game of War Be-
tween Army and Navy.
sUMPlRES'" DIFFICULT TASK

High Ranking Officers Of Both
Branches Will Decide Who Has Been

to Shell New York.
Washington, July 15.-Plans are ma
terializing for the naval movements
which will precede the joint army and
naval manoeuvres this autumn. The
arrangements have been placed entire
ly in the hands of Rear Admiral Hig-
ginson, commanding the North Allan
tic station and he is expected soon to
settle matters of general detail such as
the limits within which the 'enemy's"
ships may attack, the selection of a
commander for the "enerhy's" force
and the selection of the ships which
will compose the attacking squadron.
An interesting part of the work in
both sets of manoeuvres will be that
assigned to the "umpires." Officers will
be assigned to each of the ships in the
naval manoeuvres, and to both ships

to act as judges, and it is understood
that the final decision in the greater
manoeuvres as to whether the army
or the navy has been victorious will be
rendered by a board of high ranking
officers from both branches of the SER
vice. probably headed by Admiral
Dewey. The task of the individual
judges will not be an easy one, for the
based on probability. For instance,
battleship steams up past one of the
Staten Island forts in the dead of
night. A searchlight flashes out into
and the gunners ashore train their big
weapons to blow her out of the water.
Did the searchlight find her in time to
have prevented deadly work if it had
fort trained on her with the requisite
precision, or can she be considered as
having run the gauntlet and as flying
up the bay to shell the metropolis?

to vigorous dispute from both sides.
AS soon as General Macarthur takes
hold at New York, it is expected that
he will cooperate with Rear Admiral
Higginson in drawing up a complete
and definite plan for the game of war
between the army and navy, which be-
gins the latter part OF August.

|. g. N. OWNERSHIP IN DOUBT.
Rock Island, Illinois Central or
Southern May Be Buyer.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. April 12.-Who has secured
control of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road, which has been wrung from August
Belmont and company?
This is the question which the most con-
servative bankers and the speculative COM
munity in Wall street to-day tried to an
swer. but with very poor result.
During the day the belief grew that the
Moore Bros. acting for the Rock Island, had
great deal to do with the Louisville and
Nashville situation. and that the control o.
the Louisville and Nashville had passed to
them and interests associated with them.
1t was said that the interests of John w.
Gates in the deal were secondary and his
operations had been primarily designed 70
cover the real power behind the movement
In other quarters the belief obtains that
Illinois Central has purchased the road. and
the fact is pointed out that Stuyvesant
Fish has been in Chicago this week. and
when asked his mission, replied:
Just to hear the band play
In other banking-houses it was said that
the conference held to-day between George
W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan & Co. and John
W. Gates is very significant. Morgan &
Co. control the Southern Railway, and it
has been a well-known fact that Mr.. Nor
gan would like to have his own way in
Louisville and Nashville ~
that Gates is believed to hold the balance
OF power 1t was taken that he might de-
eide to throw his holdings to Morgan and
make the Southern Railway the dominant
power in Louisville.
