her respecting the publication.

Who has resigned the office OF Lord Lieu
tenant Of ireland. He Is president Of the
Tory National Union and has bscn prOmi-
nent in English politics since lSsJ-
tend. He was pale but otherwise showed no
signs OF his injuries.
The meeting OF the Cabinet gave fresh
Impetus to the recOnstruction reports. The
most interesting Of these for America - the
suggestion that the Duke Of Marlborough
will succeed Lord Curzon OF Kedelston as
Viceroy of India. but there IS not the least
possibility OF any such appointment.
1t appear very doubtful II Lord Curzon
will come home before the expiration Of his
term Of office.
As a matter OF fact there Is no appoint
ment which could be offered him except the
Foreign Office. which would be a promotion
from the viceroyalty OF India. and there 1;
no indication that Lord LansdOWne has any
intention OF retiring.
Under no circumstances, however. would
the Duke OF Marlborough receive such al
important post as India. though he might
possibly succeed Earl CadOgan as L0rU
Lieutenant Of Ireland.
