DEVONSHIRE RESIGNED
Continued from Page one.)

Lyttelton presided over the commission sent to South Africa to deal with the Boer claims and he also took prominent part in the Reid Newfoundland arbitra- ton.
 Although his appointment Is likely to be keenly criticized, the new Colonial Secre- tary is almost sure of a hearty reception in the ministerial ranks. He is credited with being in full sympathy with Mir. Chamberlain's colonial policy and Lord Miners South African ideas.
 Austen Chamberlain's appointment to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer has been fully discounted.
 MT. Brodrick's s transfer to the India of- fee will probably evoke the fiercest storm and much resentment in India, where the feeling Wdll be that he has been sent to the India office because he was a failure at the war office
 Arnold Forster has always been a stu- dent of the question of defenses ana a strong critic of war office methods. If al- lowed free hand he should introduce dras- tic reforms.
 Only one opinion is expressed in the editorials this morning on Mir Balfour's s letter. namely that 1t is manifestation of his dismay and disappointment at the loss of his most important colleague, and his sense of the damaging effect that the Duke of Devonshire's withdrawal will have on his administration.
 The conservative Standard voices the party regrets that within six months a great party and a strong government have gone to pieces, leaving only chaos, and 1t expresses surprise that MT. Balfour has the idea of facing parliament with his cabinet so grieviously weakened.

White House this morning Is that El- liott was a dangerous crank easily pro- voked to run amuck and that the officers stopped him in good time. While he may not have been possessed with homfcidal notions, 1t is believed that had he ob- tained admission when. his presence was no longer tolerabie he would have made serious trouble, as he did when being carried away in a prison van. He made a frantic struggle and gave the officers all they could do to subdue him.
 No disturbance occurred anywhere with in the executive mansion, nor was there the least agitation or sign of anything unusual at the wing occupied for the ex- ecutive office, President Roosevelt not having been made aware of the trouble until the disturber of the serenity at the main portals had been removed.
 Elliott, the Swede, as he is called, ac- cording to information previously fur nished, had a delusion that his fellow countrymen out in Minnesota were jcal- ous of him because of his progress in his love affairs and his growing popularity with prominent Americans, and that they had conspired to remove him from the scene of his triumphs. Elliott says he then decided to travel for his health. For month past he says he has lived on ban anas and fruit for fear of poisoning by his green eyed enemies.
 He stated after his arrest that when he went to the White House and sat down like the rest of people to wait to see the President, he noticed that he was an object of attention by several per- sons standing around. Thinking about this he looked into a mirror and saw that he had on a dirty collar. Then he said he thought he would better go home. clean up and come back another time. He pro- ceeded to put this purpose into execution when he was seized. He said the men who assaulted him had on no uniforms and he didn't know who they were. They might have been hired assassins of his jealous rivals, and so he made a fight for his life. That was what he was arm- ed for. He intended no harm to the Pres- ident.
 There was a remarkable absence of ex- citement over the affair in the city. The "attempted assassination of the Presi- dent' was bulletined by noon, but drew no crowds All was quiet all the after noon about the White House grounds with no sign of recent disturbance.

THE LADIES' AID SOCIETY.
 The Ladies' Aid Society of the Central Presbyterian Church held their hrst faii meeting yesterday afternoon at the home of the pastor, Rev. MT. Anderson. sO0 Washington Street.
 The pastor opened the meeting with Scripture reading and prayer, and then made a short talk, which was full of in- terest touching as he did. along the line iiof the work that will be speciality with the Society for the coming year. Among other encouraging things he as- sured the Society that the work of the past year was the best in the history of the church, both in the Society, the Sum- day school and general church work. He
 appealed to the members of the Society
 to reach out in their efforts to know
 people and find places in which the new
 members can work-to idealize, as it were. the church relationship--one with another. ] Mir. Anderson then complimented the re- , tiring President. Mrs. J. Walter Black. on her efficiency and her faithfulness in her position as President of the Society. l she having filled that office almost con- ltinuously since the organization of the Church.
 | Mrs. Black, in resigning her office.
 spoke feelingly of her love for the work and her pleasant relationship with her lco-workers-but she felt that the time had come when it was wisest and best to refuse to be renominated. v.1s The President appointed a nominating committee which is, Mrs. Will Mack.
