no way reconciled TO the idea of the
"perpetuation of the Hotel Cecil" as
the change from Lord Salisbury to Mr.
Balfour is called and openly regretted
hat Mr. Chamberlain had not been
appointed or Il compromise found in
the appointment Of the Duke of Devon
shire, lord president OF the council.
Among the bulk Of the party, as also
In the morning papers, satisfaction Is
expressed upon learning that Mr. Bal
four is 10 be the new premier, and the
consensus of opinion Is that there no
| longer IL anything in Great Britain's
| foreign relations To cause the slightest
anxiety ut Lord Salisbury's dropping
the reins Of power
OPINION OF PRESS.
The Times. in an editorial article on
! the change, says:
"Our relations with all powers great
| and small, are excellent and seem TO
promise us the enjoyment Of continued
| tranquility abroad. Lord Salisbury has
| the proud qualification OF feeling as
he recommends his kinsman as his
successor that in no fitting or more
worthy hands could power be placed"
Reviewing Lord Salsbury's life work
the Times says
Another precious achievement has
been the steady building up in cir
cumstances Of no small difficulty of
the excellent understanding that now
exists between Great Britain and the
United states. That has been the
chief work OF his last years In office.
II Is q fitting crown for a life Of sue
cessful and honorable service, devot-
ed to the highest interests Of the Brit
ish people,
The Standard, In an editorial article
on the subject, says II thinks Lord
Salisbury will be deemed no unworthy
successor TO line Of illustrious prem
iers and that his loss will be felt
abroad as much as at home, for his
prestige and unique authority have |
long been regarded as stable force |
in international politics. Then. re- |
ferring to the absence Of intlgue or |
friction In the change, the Standard |
says:
"Mr. Chamberlain has generously and
periodically effaced his own aspira-
llOIlS NntU ut IHiHul ullllbsl nave bttH
excused for declining TO rest satisfied |
with any place lower than the highest,
and has thus shown, not for the first |
time, that he can prefer national in
terest to the qualification of personal
aims"
All the morning papers are filled
with sketches Of careers OF the states
men concerned, and with speculations
as to the future, the Liberal organs ex-
pressing doubt as 10 whether Mr.
Chamberlain Is likely TO remain con-
tent TO act under Mr.. Balfour.
KINGS OFFER REFUSED.
The Times states that Lord Sails
bury's resignation was not caused by
any political differences whit his col
leagues in the cabinet, and says:
1--WE understand that the king was
very anxious to mark In some special
manner his high sense Of the great
service Lord Salisbury has rendered TO
the state, and expressed a desire TO
bestow upon the retiring minister some
promotion or decoration;
but Lord Salisbury begged to be al
lowed 10 decline TO believe that the
king sought Lord Salisbury's advice as
to his successor and that the retiring |
prime minister suggested Mr., Balfour,
A message was thereupon sent from
