Their List Was Ignored
Joseph WiggleSWOrth Appointed Sec
retary Of Department Of Elections
TO Succeed Carpenter

Leaders of both tho Regular and
Union Republican parties were finding
fault this morning with the election
|oificers named by the Department OF

and appoint the men contained on this
list. According to the statements OF
Republican leaders it did not do this,
but selected personal friends.
A member Of the Regular Republican
Committee said this morning: "The
kick is made because the Election De
partment did not accept In it's entirety
the list agreed upon by both commit
tees. III IL had been accepted there
would have been no dissatisfaction. We
agreed on a list Of names without re-
gard to factions. We tried TO get the
best men for the places. and know that
the compromise list could not be i'm
proved upon"
Secretary Resigned
At the meeting OF the department
last evening the resignation of Secre-
tary Carpenter was accepted Joseph
Wigglesworth the former secretary,
but now secretary OF the Board of
Health. was elected tempo
nary secretary. The Democratic
members of the board, A. ID. Chaytor
and M. +. Fairy, objected TO this ap-
pointment on the ground that Mr.. Wig
ellsworth already held one city Office
and could not be elected to another
They were Oyerruled.
Mr. Wigglesworth will transact the
of the department at night. af-
ter he is through with the duties at

Mr.. BaliOur Thinks adjournment Of
Parliament Would Cause Panic

London, June 25.-The house of COM
mons was crowded yesterday by mem
bers and others who were anxious to
hear The expressed statement Of the
government leader A. ]. Balfour, on the
subject of the kings illness. After
reading the early bulletin referring to
his majesty's illness, Mr.. Balfour said
he had intense qualification in saying
that a successful operation mad been
performed on the king, and that his
majesty was progressing as well as pos

Mr.. Balfour. removes a great load OF
anxiety from our minds. My first in
clination on hearing the melancholy
news was to suggest that the house
mark its sense OF disaster which has
befallen the whole community by ad-
journing. But on more careful renec-
tion have come to the conclusion that
such a course is ill-advised. l have
come to the conclusion that If the
house was to take the exceptional
course to which have adverted, that
which is now anxiety in the public
mind might become a paine, and a
wholly exaggerated idea Of the present
state Of things might 90 abroad
"The status of things is undoubtedly
grave, and / am convinced that If we
were to consider the kings condition
to be such that it would be improper
to carry on the business of the coun-
try, we should produce a wholly false
impression. In these circumstances we
do not propose to suggest any excep-
tional course. and / am only thankful
TO have been able to inform the house
that SO far as we know at present
everything is going on as we'll as can
