BRITISH CABINET
IS RECONSTRUCTED
Alfred LytetOn Famous Cricketer and Football PLAYER
but No Statesman Succeeds ChamberIan-Duke of
Devonshire Resigns, Which Is Very Heavy Blow to
Baifour-New Cabinet Is Not Expected to Last Lono.

= LONDON, Oct 5.-The new cabinet
is composed as follows:
MI. Brodrick, formerly secretary of
war, succeeds Lord George Hamilton
as secretary for India; Austen Cham
beria1n, postmaster general, succeeds
Mr. Ritchie as chancellor of the ex-
chequer; Alfred Lyttleton, recorder of
Oxford, succeeds Joseph Chamberlain
as secretary for the colonies; H o.
Arnold-Forster, secretary to the adj
miralty, succeeds Mr.. Brodrick as sec
retary of war; Graham Murray, lord
advocate of Scotland, succeeds Lord
Balfour of Burleigh as secretary for
Scotland; Lord Stanley, financial Sec
retary of the war office, succeeds Aus
ten Chamberlain as postmaster gen
eral.
The three-Week cabinet crisis has
ended in manner more rdemarkabIe
and dramatic than that of its incep-
ton. Mr.. Balfours new ministry af-
lords measure of the enormous diff
fculty he has had to contend with in
the task of reconstruction, and its COM
position seems to indicate that the
premier himself can have little belief
OF Its durability. The most sanguine
supporters of the government tonight
express the smallest hopes of such an
administration living many months and
the prevalent idea is that there will
be general election before parliament
reasSembles.
The withdrawal of the Duke of Dew
onshire is a heavy blow. Had he re-
manned the government might possibly
have survived another parliamentary
session by avoiding legislation dealing
with the fiscal problem, but with him
goes the support of the strong party of
Liberal -Unionists of the country.
Balfour Is Blamed.
Mr.. Balfour's extraordinary letter
reproaching the Duke of Devonshire
with breach of faith is the theme of
universal surprise and comment.
Though it is generally admitted that
1T is difficult to understand why the
duke did not resign when Mr.. Ritchie
and the others seeded, 1t is recalled
that he publicly announced long ago
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-10-06

that he considered it his duty to hold
once as long as possible in the inter-
est or free trade, and the curiouslv
piaintive and bitter tone of Mr.. Bal

unfortunate for the government. 1t viii
bring the leadership of the house of
lords to the unpopular Lord Ians-
doWne. No successor has yet been ap-
pointed to the Duke of Devonshire. and
several minor government offices still;
remain vacant.
OF the new appointments announcer
tonight, the most surprising is that of
Hon. Alfred Lyttleton as secretary for
the colonies. Mr.. Lyttleton is a man
OF acknowledged ability and a good
speaker, but he has had no ministerial
experience whatever. He is better
known to the colonies ah a cricketer
than as a politician. He and his seven
brothers We're famous cricketers at
Elton, while Alfred and his brother Ed
ward displayed even greater prowess
at football, racquets, etc. Alfred Lyt-
tleton was always an enthusiastic
cric1eter and he has taken several
teams on colonial tours. He was also
for fifteen years the champion tennis
player, and has won international foot
ball honorS.
Personnel of New Ministers.
Alfred Lyttleton is related to Mr..
Balfour by marriage. He has been
twice married. His first wife was a
daughter of Sir Charles Tenant and
his second is a daughter of Archibald
BalfOur. He is a cousin of Herbert
Gladstone and his brother Sir Neville
Lyttleton, is commander of the forces
in South Africa. Mr.. Lyttleton presided
over the commission sent to South
Africa to deal with the Boer claims,
and he also took a prominent part on
the Reid Newfoundland arbitration.
Although his appointment is likely to
be keenly criticised the new colonial
secretary is almost sure of a hearty

Stated by the Department.

ing statement was made by the post

ditional indictments charge Barrett

Thomas A. Edison will within a reason

of which the possessor of a moderate
income will be able to procure power
to run an automobile, light his house
and provide means of accomplishing
numerous other things for which elec-
tricity is available.
At his laboratory in West Orange,
N. j., the inventor described the utility
Of his machine. Mr.. Edison was
quietly enthusiastic in discussing his
achievement, but frankly pointed out
obstacles which will cause an indeter-
inmate length of time to elapse before
the public will be able to enjoy the
latest fruits of the wizards genius.
1T has always been my desire" said
Mr.. Edison earnestly, ITO bring the uses
of electricity within the reach of men
of moderate means. want to see the
homes of men and women who work for
nominal salaries and whose incomes are
small lighted by electricity.
Il want to reduce the most of such
pleasures and pastimes as are afforded
by electrical power to the size of the
pockets of the moderately poor. I
want to see the world happy and con-
tented, and In fulfilling that desire 1
shall devote every energy 1 have to
bring these pleasures, now belonging
solely to the rich, within the reach Of
the poor"
Mr.. Edison pointed toward a shed
which stands in the laboratory house.
It was, approximately, fifteen feet a.
length by eight feet wide and suffi-
ciently high to permit man to stand
upright within 1t.

said, with a little shed like that one

would be absolutely independent of the

MR.. BISSELL'S CASE
DECLARED HOPELESS
Ex-Postmaster General Is Dying of
Internal Cancer.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 5-Former
Postmaster General Wilson S. Bissell
is said to be dying. He has an internal
cancer. DR.. Dewitt Sherman, who has
been attending Mr. Bissell, said after
an all night vigil at the bedside of his
patient:
Mr. Bissell is in very critical con-
dition. He lost steadily last week and
yesterday his condition fell to an
alarming degree"
Mr.. Bissell rallied during the day,
but when DR.. Sherman was asked if
he would live through another day, he
replied that "he was by no means out
of danger"
Drs. Roswell Park, John Parmenter
and Charles Carey were called in con-
sultation by DR.. Sherman this evening.
All agreed that the case was hopeless.
The unusual and unexpected rally
which began this morning continued
this evening. Mr.. Bissell regained full
control of his mental faculties and con-
versed with members of the family. A
relapse is certain to come within
few days at the longest.
