CABINET
Names of New Ministers Are
Announced.
GENERAL ELECTION SOON
Not Thought that the New Administra-
tonCan Live Many Monshs-Duks
: of Dcvonshire's Withdrawal is
Heavy Blow.
GENERAL ELECTION SOON
(By Associated Press


LONDON. October 5.-The three-weeks
Cabinet crisis has ended in manner
more remarkable and dramatic than that
of It's inception. Mr.. Balfour's new min
istry affords a measure OF the enormous
difficulty he has had to contend with IN
the task OF reconstruction, and Its COM
position seems to indicate that the Pre-
nlcr himself can have little belief OF It's
durability. Tho most sanguine supporters
OF the government tonight express the
smallest hopes of such an administration
living many months, and the prevalent
idea Is that there Will be general cleo
ton before Parliament reasscmbles.
Tho withdrawal Of the Duke of Devon
shire Is a heavy blow. Had he remained
tho government might possibly have sur
yiyed another Parliamentary session by
avoiding legislation dealing with tho MS
cal problem, but with him goes the sup
mort of the strong party OF Liberal Union
lists in the country. Though 1t Is gener-
ally admitted that 1t Is difficult to under
stand why the Duke did no resign when
MI. Richie and the others seeded, II Is
recalled that he publicly announced long
ago that he considered 1t his duty to
hold office as long as possible IN the IN
tcrcst Of free trade.
one consequence Of the Duke OF Devon
shirc's retirement Is extremely uniortuh-
ate for the government. 1t will bring the
leadership of the House Of Lords to the
unpopular Lord Lansdowne. NO sue
cessor has yet been appointed to the DUKE
OF Deyonshire. and several minor govern
ment offices still ROMAN vacant. Or the
new appointments announced tonight the
most surprising Is that OF the Hon. Al
freI I1ytteiton, as secretary for lcoto-
MES. Mr.. Lyttleton is a man OF ability
and a good speaker, but ne has had no
ministerial experience whatever.
The new cabinet is composed as fol-
lows: Mr.. Broderick, formerly Secretary
for War, succeeds Lord George Hamii-
ton, as Secretary for India; Austen Cham
berlain. rostmaster General. succeeds Mr..
Richie. as Chancellor of the ExchequoI
Alfred Lyttelton, Recorder of OXFORD
succeeds Joseph chamberlain, as secre-
tary for the Colonies; II. o. Arnold, For
ster Secretary to the Admiralty. succeeds
Mr. Frederick. as Secretary for War.

land. succecds Lord Balfour OF Burle!Eh

 Throughout the World.

Boston, Dec. 17.-The American board of commissioners for foreign missions made public, Wednesday. a summary or Protestant foreign missions. In most of the items there is shown to De an advance over the reports of the preceding year. The income of so- cieties in the United States and Great Britain alone shows an increase of over sZ,OoO,O00. The statistics are as follows: Stations, 5,711; outstations. 22,364; total missionaries, 16.61S; na- tive workers. 75,2Sl; communicants in churches, 1,397.O .O42; pupils under in- struction, 1,127 ,S53 The total native constituency is 3,6i3.391.
 The United States is represented by 6'9sl stations and outstations; 1.617 men, 2,6o8 women; 20,90l native labor CTS; 506,600 communicants: 43.723 added last year; 259.5 under instruc- uon. The income of the societies re- ported is s7,176,S45.
 The missionary work at the Hawa- ian islands having been assumed by the churches at the islands. that mis- sion disappears this year from the rolls. But that to the Philippines has been added. so that the number of missions is still 20.
 In the Chinese missions of the American board there are more church members by 8S5 than before the Boxer outbreak, While the native laborers have increased nearly threefold.
 The interests of the American board within the Turkish empire, the Turk lsh government has failed to recognize as It should. The United States gov ernment is seeking to secure the same privileges for American missionaries as have been granted to the subjects of other nations.

Lures to Cruel Death.

In Italy crows, which injure the crops are destroyed in the following cruel manner: A hole is dug in the ground at the bottom of which is placed some de cayed meat A funnel-shaped wedge of paper is then inserted into the hole. the upper edge of the paper being coated with brdlime. A crow sees the food from afar, descends to grasp it in his beak. and when he has firm hold of 1t he rises up again. His head is, however, swathed with the paper cap and in his mad endeavor to rid himself of 1t he circles up to extraordinary heights in the air revolving constantly and at SO rapid a pace that, soon overcome with giddiness. he falls to the earth. dead.
