British steamer Mexicano which found

Captain Sorrensen said:
Il was sitting in my cabin about 9
o'clock yesterday morning when l

L ordered a boat to be gotten ready
and then l heard the cry a third time.

small log. about half a mile off. With
the aid of my glasses l found it to be
a small hatch, with a mar in oil skins
stretched full length on it. 1 imme-
diately steered for the man and rescued
him. He was completely exhausted
and had to be hauled aboard the boat.
He was unable to say a word n

One of the survivors, August Auste-
lind, a native of Finland says he heard
two pistol shots as he left the ship and
thinks some Of the officers shots them

The MeXicano was a tank steamer
and carried a crew of twenty-five men
besides Captain King. Some of them
were probably picked up by the other
steamer. The survivors aboard the
Vidar are Seamen August Osterlind

papers.
1t IS understood that the designations
of some other members Of the cabinet
are m and that Lord Balfour of
Burleigh, secretary for Scotland, has
actually resigned, although the fact
has not yet been formally given out.
Curiosity centerS on the attitude Of
the Duke of D~evonshire, whose ~resigna-
ton has been fully expected. AS to the
reconstruction of the cabinet. no great
interest is excited, although the politi-
cal prophets are already busy appoint
ing Austen Chamberlain, chancellor Of
the eXchequer, the Earl of Selborne as
secretary for the colonies, etc, because
it is recognized as impossible that an
appeal to- the country can be much
longer delayed, n the general opinion
is that in the present shattered condi-
ton of the Unionist party the liberals
will be returned to power.
The editorials in the government or
gans this morning practically recognize
the certainty of the liberals coming
into power, while admitting that Mr..
Chamberlain has gained a brilliant trj-
umph by winning Mr.. Balfour over to
his opinion. Mr.. Balfour's letter in this
sense is admitted to be vastly more i'm
portant thar his recent pamphlet, be-
cause in it he unhesitatingly admits the
principle of Mr.. Chamberlain'S project.
only contending that the country is not
yet ripe for it. 1t is clear, however,
that he regards retaliation as a stepping
stone to a preferential tariff and the
taxation for food. That the unionist
party as a whole does not agree with
this view is equally se~lf-evident. The
conservative papers, whilst congratu-
lating Mr.. Chamberlain on his courage
and devotion to his principles, regret
his action because 1t is their belief that
the country will never consent to the
taxation of food.

No sane man can now believe that

by turning over the %financ Of this
city TO the body of men at present in

With the city treasury eliminated
