 Cabinet Is Strong.
 London. December 1.-The conservative morning newspapers are compelled to ad- init that Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman has succeeded in forming d much strong CT administration than had been thought possible. The liberal papers are full of en- thusiasm, and of cordial congratulations to the premier on having not only ably united all sections of his party in the min Istry. but on having displayed great dis crimination in giving it's individual mem bers congenial posts. They express the conviction that such cabinet will in spire confidence both al home and abroad. The names of Herbert Henry Asquith, Sir Edward Grey and Richard Burdon Haldane. alone. 1t is held, will give great weight to the ministry and assurance that there will be no revival of Gladstonian home rule. despite the fact that the eabi- net contains preponderance of those fa- vorable to home rule.
 The conservative organs point out that the most enthusiastic home-ruler, John Morley. has been sent to the India office, where he will have little influence on politics.
 The commission of Lord Rosebery is naturally the subject of much comment. and there Is considerably curiosity as to what attitude he will adopt when he ad- dresses the Liberal league today It is mo- ticeable that his son-in-law, the Earl of Crewe, is in the cabinet.
 The rapid rise of John Burns from the workshop to the cabinet. with salary of sl0.086 q year. is a unique feature. indicating the growing importance of the radical party, and he is being congratu- lated on all sides in winning a well-de- served honor. He will be the first labor member of the Honse of Commons to have nttail1u cabinet rank.
