THE CABINET COMPLETE.
Dir. BdIf0ur's Selections To Be An-
nOunced on Monday.

Iondon. oct 3-It is understood that Mr..
Balfour has completed his Cabinet and the
names of the new ministers will be announced
on Monday He and the Earl of Selborne have
gone to BalmoraL
The temper of section of the Cnionist
party at Mr.. Balfour's going over practically
to the Chamberlain standpoint is shown by the
fact that The Standard" gives great prominence
TO an anonymous letter ironically suggesting
that. as Lord MiIner has declined to Join the
Cabinet the vacant seats should be given to
James Lowthe-, Mr. Chaplin and Sir Charles
Howard Vincent reward for their consist
ent advocacy Of protection, advocacy which
hitherto has met only with scorn and derisiOn
THE Times this morning gives prominence
to article purporting to represent the colonial
view and strongly criticisng Mr.. Balfour's at
titude on the fiscal question. as showing that he
cares nothing for the colonies. to whom his at
titude means not only disappointment but dis
aster The article asks whether some convul-
sion such as the secession of Australia is need
ed before the colonies can get their requests
considered and accuses the Premier Of sacrtdc-
ing colonial feeling TO the desire to keep his own
party in power.
Lord Miner has gone abroad. but will return
~ London in the middle Of October before
starting for South Africa
Asked to elucidate certain points in his
speech of to-day Mr. Balfour said that the
statement that Mr. Chamberlaln's opinions did
not differ from his own did not refer to the
fiscal problem. but merely to the reasons which
induced Mr.. Chamberlain to resign. He ad-
rnitted that he and Mr.. Chamberlain were
agreed in principle on the fiscal problem, and
added:
Mr. Chamberlain recognizes that the country
is not yet prepared to discuss the taxation Of
food, but he tells me that he is bound with
the colonies, and viii therefore act as a mis-
sionary as regards the food question.

SURE OF ITS LEGALITY
Call for ReconUening of Republican
COnUentiOR Sent Ont.

Secretary Manchester. Of the Republican County
Committee last night announced that the Repub-
lican City Convention would be recOnvened at Car
regie Hall on October :. and that at that conven-
ton candidates would be named for Controller and
President Of the Board Of Aldermen TO take the
places OF Grout and Fornes. This announcement
was made following letter which was sent last
night 10 every enrolled member OF the convention
and which bore the signature OF ex-Leutenant
Governor Woodruff stating that the convention
would held on the date and at the place already
named.
Among the leaders of the Republican organization
yesterday there seemed to be a disposition to
await action by the Citizens Union. The Repuoi-
can organization intends TO allow the Citizens
Union TO take the initiative in making the nOmina-
tions and will then wheel into line.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, presiding Of
fcer OF the City Convention, said.
We will meet on Wednesday night and drop the
name of Mr.. Grout. and also that Of Mr.. Fornes
stead as candidates have received legal opinions
there is not the slightest doubt but that the con-
ventiOn can review its actions and change the
nominations.
Senator Platt declared last night that he was
satisfied beyond the vestige of doubt that IL
would be legal to reconvene the convention and
name other candidates after dropping Messrs.
Grout and Fornes.
The Republicans had little to say about candi-
dates. There seemed 10 be a general idea that
didate for Controller. The name OF Herman Metz
was mentioned as a candidate for President OF the
Board of Aldermen. but some think that some gOOd
Irish-American, such Colonel Duffy. should pc
named. The Citizens Union leaders and the ftepuo-
leaders will confer in the next few days ABOUT
the question of candidates and a ticket Will De
agreed for both conventions TO nominate IL IS

NEU NAMES DISCUSSED.
4ctiOn of First c. L. Contention
VIII Be Rescinded.

In a session that lasted till midnight. the
city committee of the Citizens Union last night
discussed the names Of new candidates for Con-
troller and President Of the Board Of Aldermen.
It was decided to hold another city convention
on Wednesday evening at Cooper Union, at
which time the action of the former convention
will be rescinded and new candidates named
in place of Messrs. Grout and Fornes The
same committee that conferred with the Re
publicans consisting of fifteen members, of
which R. Fulton Cutting chairman was ap-
pointed and will hold another conference with
the Republican organization some time pre-
vious to the new convention.
The whole situation It now exists was
thoroughly canvassed. The letters Of Messrs
Grout and Fornes were regarded defiant A
reply to Grout's letter TO Mr.. Cutting pre-
pared, but the committee refused TO give II out
for publication until to-day. II IS said TO be a
severe arraignment Of the Controllers action
Mr.. Cutting said during the meeting:
We shall not give the letter out until to-
day. because Il is still being discussed by the
committee and IS still in crude form. 1 can
say however, that 1t will clear the situation
and will not be sparing IN criticism wherever
necessary

GUST PRESIDENT NEIDIG.
Defeated as Head Of Parks's Union
on LQtter's Order.

Robert +. Neidig, who reelected presi-
dent OF the Housesnths and Bridgemen's
Onion about three months ago, last night
deposed on account Of non-attendance and a
new president was elected.
The union held its weekly meeting in Maen-
nerchor Hall. about two thousand members of
the union attending. The Neidig question was
brought up at once 1t was reported that
Parks had sent on word from Kansas City that
Neidig not wanted president and that
the union might just as we'll put him out and
elect another man. Neidig had none of his men
present, or if they We're, they kept still and
made no efforts in his behalf.
II was said that Neidig had attended only a
few Of the meetings since he was elected to the
presidency OF the union, and that the act of
non-attendance formally deposed him The
question in this form was put before the union
and all voted that the presidency was vacant.
Then motion was made 10 proceed to the
election OF a president Of the union. Four
didates were Immediately named They were
William Green, man who has tendency to-
ward sam" Parks: John Bartlett, Frederick
Fish and Samuel Hall
The vote resulted in the election of William
Green who secured 200 votes. a vote was also
taken on the auditing committee for the union,
and resulted in the election of William Barclay.
Peter Dowd, Frederick Wheeler and jeremiah
Mccarthy.
The announcement of the election of William
Green 10y Michael DAWN, chairman Of the cleo
ton committee, greeted with several out
bursts Of applause. 1t was asserted that only
a small part of those present at last nights
meeting stayed for the election. The result.
however is not affected by numbers, the
election OF Mr.. Green is final

NAY QUIT VOLUNTARILY.
Grout and FOrnes Said To Be Con-
sidering LeaUing Fusion Ticket.

Controller Grout and President Fornes Of
the Board Of Aldermen are likely to resign
from the fusion .icket without making any
fight
The wrathful sentiment provoked by Charles
r. Murphy's coup" has convinced the Tam
many men that the continuance of Grout and
Fornes on the fusion ticket will be a tactical
mistake.
Charles F. Murphy, when seen yesterday
would not admit that Grout and Fornes would
retire voluntarily from the fusion ticket. Con-
troller Grout would not say word for pub
lication. President Fornes when accosted by
a flock of reporters at the City Hall, said:
Gentlemen. I have nothing TO say to-day,
but expect to be able to make an important
announcement some time tomorrow"
The only construction that Mr.. Fornes's
friends put on his statement that he would
announce that he had withdrawn voluntarily
from the fusion ticket. Mr.. Fornes is sensitive
TO criticism. and the hard treatment he has re-
ceived in the last few days from friends who
used to have only kindly words for his official
acts has panied him deeply.
The idea that both Mr.. FOrnes and Mr. Grout
will withdraw from the fusion ticket was
strengthened by Controller GrOut himself. He
was in his private Office the greater part Of the
day yesterday. Some Of those who saw him and
talked politics with him were his two deputies,
Messrs. Stevenson and Phillips Luke d. Staple
ton and Henry Yonge. 1t is said that Senator
McCarren called up the telephone yesterday.
and suggested that if Mr.. GrOut was going to
do anything a all about mandamusng the Re
publicans and Citizens Union. az to prevent
them from removing his name from the Repub-
lican ticket it was time he was about II.
It is expected that some decisive move will
be made to-day. Either Mr.. CIRCUITS counsel will
apply for an injunction restraining the Repub-
licans from summarily removing the names Of
Grout and Fornes from their ticket, or Grout
and Fornes realizing tthe ridiculous position
they would be in IN the eyes of the voters, Will
send letters to President Cutting and eX-Leu-
tenant Governor woodruff declining the nomi-
nations rendered them and requesting that their
names be dropped from the Republican and Ctti-
zens Union tickets.
Controller Grout as late as Wednesday said
that the Republicans could not put him off their
ticket and that if necessary he would protect
his rights by applying to the courts The rigid
determination of the Republican leaders to pitch
the Controller outside the breastworks' was
not Iessened an iOta by the Controllers threat
Rumors current last night were that Mr. Grout
fully realized the futility of fighting the
inevita bIe and had. the advice of his friends.
decided to get off the Republican ticket without
further ado.
