Had We been asked last year what
the prospects for basket ball were We
should all have agreed that they were
very good, but nothing more was done
than that leaders were chosen and the
ground leveied oil. This year the
grounds look as bad as they did before
anything was done TO them, II when
we have "bcgiuning' We cannot carry
out our own plans, the prospects seem
very poor when We have done nothing.
However, we have just begun school
work and have had but little time to
think Of basket ball. 1t is possible that
We shall all be good players by the time
school closes in the spring. We only
hope this will prove true, as some out
door exercise is necessary TO keep the
girls Of the school in good health. Each
recess and noon finds the boys out on
the grounds running and playing. while
the girls either go to their seats ard
begin studying or stand outside and talk.
The result is that by the time school is
out the girls are tired and worn out
while the boys feel almost as well us
they did when school commenced.

KING TAKES A HAND
BRITISH MONARCH ACTIVELY IN.
TEREsTEp in FORMATION OF
NEW CABINET.

London, Sept. 24,-The political crisis
has taken on a phase which tends to
give the present situation an histori-
cal and constitutional Importance OF
almost unprecedented interest. The
king has influenced, not unconstitution-
ally nor beyond the powers vested In
the crown, but in the exercise OF his
~prerogative to an extent never dream
ed of in the Victorian era.
Premier Balfour's continued pres
ence at Balmoral has given rise TO
| much surmise and comment, but 1t is
due to the kings determination not to
assent to the formation of a new cabl-
net until thoroughly satisfied that It's
personnel and combination are such
as to ensure tie efficient carrying on
Of the affairs = the empire pending the
| resumption of parliament. For years
cabinets we're formed OF ministerial
vacancies filled with the mere formal
presentation to the sovereign OF the
! names of the new ministers. King
Edward has done away with this tradl-
ton. He has spent the last few days
in constant discussion with Mr.. Bal
four as to the ACCESSIBILITY from the
point of view of the national welfare
Of Balfour's suggested appointments.
To such an extent Is King Edward
holding his power of veto in reserve
that now he is almost regarded by the
inner circles as more the cabinet-mak-
er than Mr.. Balfour himself. Though,
with his usual tact, the king has re.
Trained from expressing any political
view or infringing the initiative be.
longing to the ministers, this has mo-
prevented him from expressing his
genuine desire, amounting almost to a
command, that steps be AXE to
remedy the scandals in the army ad,
ministration revealed by the report OF
the South African war commission
and insisting that the new cablne,
shall be one adapted to deal with tha'
question. -.
Ever detail of the negotiations FOL
filling up the vacancies in the cabinet
are submitted to the king, Who TO-
the time being has transformed Bal
moral into the political center OF thu
empire. from which, owing to the un
usual influence at work. several sur
I prises may emanate. Whatever tn
results may be, they can safely be o.
, tributed to a large extent to h king:

Action Of Consolidated Lake Superior
Directors Viewed With Suspicion.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept. "a
The teamer Minnie M, which was
expected to arrive Wednesday after.
noon with 1900 miners. employees OF
the Consolidated Lake Superior COM
pany, did not arrive last night, owing
to the severe storm on Lake Superior,
and it is not believed that the steamer
will come in until some time today.
A story has BEEN in circulation to
the effect that the Consolidated Lake
Superior company is not in as serious
a financial condition as has been given
out of late. The people have begun
to argue that present actions are sim
ply for the purpose of whipping into
line the so-called "di~ssenters" among
the stockholders.

thought the stories given out by Off
GERS of the company of it's state OF
