TROUBLES OF HIS OWN.


LONDON. Sept. 22.-Premier Balfour is
apparently meeting with considerable diff
Guilty in the task of reconstructing his
cabinet. 1t is stated that Mr.. Wyndham
has been offered the choice of several port
folios, but has decided to remain as chief
secretary for Ireland.
Owing to the decision that the fifth and
sixth army corps under War Secretary
Broderick's reform scheme shall not be con-
stituted owing to the lack of necessary re-
cruits, it is reported that General Hunter,
nominated for the command of the Sixth
Corps, is to be transferred to India to COM
mand either the Bombay or Madras dis
trict. This has led to renewed rumors that
General Hunter will succeed Lord Kitchener
as commander-in-chief in India, and the lat
ter will be called home TO succeed Mr.
Broderick as secretary of war.
All this. however, Is merely speculation.
Much public feeling has been displayed
against appointing Mr.. Broderick TO the
India Office and ii Is believed that the diff
Guilty centers in providing a secretary of
war and secretary of India.
