ALIVE AND ALERT.
King Edward Looking Closely
After Peoples Welfare.
Will Not Allow Cabinet Charges In
less Conditions Demand It.
Uses Prorosatives to Extent for Scores
of Years Unknown.

London, Sept. 23.-The political crisis
has taken on phase which lends to
the present situation an historical and
constitutional Importance of almost
unprecedented interest. The King has
lnterfered, not uncOnstitutionally, or
beyond the powers vested in the crown,
but in the exercise of his prorogatives
to an extent never dreamed of in the
Victorian era.
Premier Balfour's continued presence
at Balmoral has given rise to much
surmise and comment but The Assoc
ciated Press is able to state definitely
that it is due to the Kings determi-
nation not to assent TO the formation !
of new cabinet until thoroughly sat
isfied that it's personnel and combina-
ton is such as to insure the efficient
carrying out of the affairs Of the en-
pire pending the resumption of Parlia-
ment.
For years previous, cabinets were
formed or 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 tradition. He has spent
the last few days in constant discus
sion with Mr.. Balfour as to the advis-
ability from the point of view of ma
tional welfare of the latters suggested
appointments. Ministers now holding
Office and those nominated for office
have been summoned to Balmoral to
join in these conferences and all have
been subjected to degree Of interroga-
ton as has surprised even those who
knew King Edward intimately as
Prince of Wales.
King Edward has not shared the
keen public Indignation against Lord
Lansdowne aroused by the report of the
South African war commission and
after a minute examination Of the cir
cumstances he is understood to have
consented to his 1ordship continuing as
foreign minister. This decision has
not prev ented His Majesty from frank
ly telling the ministers that he wanted
something done to improve the military
muddle and that he hope some man
would be appointed who, with the COM
missions report as a basis, would be
capable of changing the system which
rendered inefficiency unavoidable. q
The question of having some gen.
eral, notably Lord Kitchener. as head
of the war office has been keenly dis
cussed at Balmoral between the King
and the ministers. but The Associated
Press understands that the concensus
of opinion was that such an appoint
ment would be interpreted as modi-
fled form of military dictatorship which
the public would never sanction.
Meantime. every detail of the nego-
tiations for filling up the vacancies in
the cabinet is submitted to the King,
who, for the time being. has trans
formed Balmoral into the political CEN
ter of the empire. from which, owing
to the unusual influences at work. sew
eral surprises may emanate. Whatev
er the results may be, they can safely
be attribut ID to n large extent to he
Kings interest in the crisis.

forenoon, it looked as if the attendance
was not going to be large, but by 10
O'Clock the teams began to string in
from all the roads until they overlooked

string outside. There must have been
over 5000 people on the grounds, during
the day. Most of the stock was gone,
having been examined, yesterday, but
the horses were on the program for to-
day, so the crowd did not lack for some

Hospital Litigation.

The next step in the Annapolis Emer-
gency Hospital case, it is said. will be
the suing out of the writ of mandamus by
the chief of the medical staff in order to
bring before the court the question as to
whether or not the board of managers
can be compelled to appoint as superin-
tendent of the hospital that person whom
the medical staff recommends.
The constitution and bylaws Of the
hospital association are silent as to who
has the power to discharge the superin-
tendent, although it is provided that the
appointment shall be by the board OF
managers. upon the recommendation OF
the medical staff. 1t is contended by the
latter that this provision is mandatory,
and that the board of managers must
appoint whom the medical staff recon.
mends--in this case Miss Nellie Pusey.
the present incumbent at the hospital.
The Injunction suit. by which the case
was first brought into court, was decided
on August 18th in favor Of the board OF
managers, the defendants. The plaintiffs
noted an appeal in the case, but it is
said the appeal will not be pressed, in
view of the determination to institute
the mandamus proceedings.

Drowned In The Harbor.

Ranje Bozman, thirty-fve years of
age, of Kings creek, Somerset county,
was drowned between a and o'clock
Saturday afternoon. The unfortunate
man was an employe Of the River and
Harbor Improvement Co., OF Camden.
N. ] which has the contract for dredg-
ing the channel of the harbor.
Bozman was on the dredging machine
Alaska which is supposed to have
been very slippery from the recent heavy
rains. 1t is thought he slipped on the
Shiny deck and fell overheard into the
Severn river. He was not missed for
some time, when a search was made for
his body, which.was recovered by Diver
French about an hour afterward.
The body was taken to the under
taking establishment of Mr.. James S.
Taylor, on Fleet street, where it was
prepared for burial. II was shipped to
his home this morning on the us o'clock
over the Annapolis. Washington & Bal
timore Railroad. This is the first accident
that has occurred since the River and
Harbor Improvement Company have
been dredging the channel
