Interfering to Remarkable Extent in the
Formation of the New British Cabinet.
Surprises Expected.

London, Sept. 24.-The political crisis
has taken on a phase which lends to
the present situation an historical and
constitutional Importance of almost un-
precedented interest. The king has in
terfered not unconstitutionalfy or beyond
the powers vested I'm the crown, but in
the exercise of his prerogatives to an ex-
tent never dreamed OF in the Victorian
era.
Premier Balfour's continued presence
ct Balmoral has given rise 20 much sur
mise and comment but the Associated
Press Is able TO state definitely that IL
n due to the kings determination not
TO assent to the formation OF a new cabi-
net until thoroughly satisfied that it's
personnel and combination Is such as to
insure the efficient carrying on OF the
AFFAIRS OF the empire pending the re-
sumption OF the sessions OF parliament.
For years previous cabinets were form
Or or ministerial vacancies filled with the
mere formal presentation to the SOW
Sraien OF the names OF the new ministers.
King Edward has done away with this
tradition. He has spent the last few
days in constant discussion with Mr. Bal
four as to the advisabillty from the point
Of view OF national welfare OF the latter's
suggested appointments.
Ministers now holding office and those
nominated for office have been sum-
moned to Balmoral to join In these con-
ferences and all have been subjected to
q degree Of Interrogation such as has
surprised even those who knew King Ed
ward intimately as Prince Of Wales.
KING Is CABINET MAKER.
To such an extent Is King Edward
hoding his power OF veto in reserve that
now he Is almost regarded by the inner
circles as more the cabinet maker than
Mr.. Balfour himself.
King Edward has not shared the keen
public Indignation against Lord Lans-
downe aroused by the report OF the South
African War commission and after a
minute examination OF the circumstances
he is understood to have consented to
his lordship continuing as foreign min
ister. This decision has not prevented
his majesty frof frankly telling the min
listers that he wanted something done to
Improve the military muddle and that he
hoped some man would be appointed
who, with the commissions report as a
basis. would be capable OF changing the
system which rendered inefficiency un-
svoidable.
The question OF having some general,
notably Lord Kitchener. as head Of the
war offica has been keenly discussed at
Balmorsl between the king and the min
listers. but the Associated Press under
stands that the consensus OF opinion was
such that an appointment would be In
terpreted as a modified form Of military
dictatorship. which the public would
mover sanction.
Meantime every detail OF the negotia-
tions arc flling un the vacancies In the
cabinet is submitted TO the king. who
