ANOTHER RESIGNATION.
England's Chancellor of the Exche-
quer ResiHn Of
Retirement.

London. July 14.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach has resigned as chancellor OF the
e~xchequer. King Edward received Mr..
Balfour. the new premier, in audience
today at Buckingham palace and deliv-
cred to him the seals Of his Office and
the privy seal.
Informally announcing Lord Sails
bury's resignation IN the house of lords
today, the duke OF Devonshire added
that his lordship had also retired from
the government leadership in the house
Of peers and desired hat he, the duke
Of Devonshire. should take w that po-
sition.
The transfer of the seals Of office
from Lord Salisbury to A. j. Balfour
had no effect whatever on he stock
exchange. The new premier, when he
entered the conference room Of the for
eign Office. accompanied by the duke
of Devonshire. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, Lord Londonderry and Others,
received quite an ovation. Mr.. Balfour
referred to the loss OF the services OF the
chief officers who for nearly fifty years
had been engaged in active political life.
Il have accepted a great task and a
heavy responsibility" he said, certain
ly from no oyer-weentng belief In my
own capacity, but because ! am sure.
or at least have every reason to believe
that in attempting to carry on this
work I will have b most important
qualification a leader a have, namely
regard for and confidence in those with
whom he works. I can not now prom
ise myself that i shall have h continu-
ed assistance OF all my colleagues. i
grieve to say / can not count with any
assurance On the chancellor Of the ex-
chequers further assistance, though l.
nor n.rn rx-f4L nhonlto nnn6dnrn2 nm
his good wishes in the labors before US.
LAS for the question Of policy, / need
hardly tell you that the policy Of the
u%nionist party remains now hat IL
has always been. We have lost the ser
vices Of a brilliant advocate OF our
cause We have lost a man around
whom the sentiments and emotions OF
party have for many years crystallized
Nevertheless / feel we would do wrong
to despair, do wrong to have even The
faintest misgiving in regard to The fu-
ture Of the cause he has so long and SO
well upheld"
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said there
was nc one whom he would have more
gladly and more readily have accepted
as leader Of the party than the man he
had followed a. leader for more than
seven years. But Lord Salisbury's re-
tirement was a break with the tradi-
tons Of his past political life. Two
years ago he had begged for personal
and not for political reasons TO be re-
lieved from Office but he had consented
at Lord Salisbury's instance to retain
1t to the end Of the a
J. Austen Chamberlain. financial sec
rotary to the treasury. said his father
wished him TO say how greatly disap-
pointed he was hat he could not De
present to welcome Mr.. Balfour TO the
leadership.
MY father bids me to "a to- you
Mr.. Balfour," he added, that In Offer
ing you his support he feels he may
speak also in the name OF the whole H.
eral-anionist party Of the house of
commons."

to big waters, especially during a
storm, and many of them seized and
held on to life preservers, although
there was never the slightest danger.
One man refused to give up his life
pr~eserver until he landed safely back
in the city at 1890 p. m. During the
trip there was some delightful music

Money Over Two Thousand Years
Old.

Mr.. j. H. w. Bonitz, proprietor OF the
Bonitz House. showed us yesterday a
copper coin that is evidently over 1900
years old. 1t is a rusty looking speci-
men, and was secured by a sergeant in
the United States Army when h allied
forces occupied China a couple of years
g
The coin contains the head Of Julius
Caesar, who reigned over Rome one
hundred years before Christ. The let
tering around the rim is very indis-
tinct, but they are Roman letters, and
no doubt the coin is a genius speci-
men of the money of Caesars time.
Those who have seen pictures of Gaze
sar have often wondered how any artist
knew what Caesar looked like, but pic
lures of the great general and dictator
are exact reproductions of the head on
the coin.
