London, Dec. 1.-The cabinet held a
meeting this afternoon. lasting an hour
and half. There is reason to believe
that the colleagues of Premier Balfour
approved his decision to resign rather
than to dissolve parliament, but no
official communication is yet forthcom-
ing. Mr.. Balfour is going to Gloucester
shire for the weekend. SO he will not
see King Edward before Monday.
Notwithstanding the repeated asser-
tions from the liberal side that Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman would not
take office at the present juncture, 1t
is now generally believed that the re.
suit of the cabinet council today will
be the heralding Of liberal govern
ment with Sir Henry as premier. The
official announcement Of the result OF
the council is likely to be delayed fol
a few days to give time for the for
malities Of laying the matter before
King Edward, who will arrive at Buck.
ingham palace next Monday to hold 8
privy council on the following day
Probably the. resignation of the govern
ment will be announced on Wednesday
and then King Edward will invite Sil
Henry Campbell -Bannerman to form {
ministry. Sir Henry IS acceptance Of thl
task is regarded as foregone conclu
sion, in which case the general election
will take place in January.

Chicago, Dec. Probably the St.
Paul system is Ito become a more colos-
sal affair than has been supposed even
by those who are acquainted with the
extensive plans Of extension to the Paci-
fic coast. A steamship line between
the United States and the orient, may
form a part Of the plans, according to
statements contained In an editorial
In today's Chicago Tribune. Altho the
editorial is qualified with the word
presumably it is believed that the
Tribune, which is conservative in it's
editorial statements, has inside informa-
ton which induces it to make the state
ment.
The editorial argues that the Panama
canal will be no hindrance to trahscon-
tinental railway traffic and says in
part:
'FThe Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road will get much business in the re-
gions thru which it's extension is to be
built. It will also get a share of the
Asiatic trade, for that will not be
monopolized by the Panama canal. Pre-
sumably the Milwaukee & st. Paul road,
after reaching the Pacific, will buy or
build freight steamers and run them to
China aud Japan.

t'If the canal had been in existence
thirty years ago. when the business

ness, it would have been another story
Conditions have changed. The extensive
regions west Of the Missouri river are
being developed. Cities and towns are
growing up. The fertile fields are being
cultivated and the mines opened. The
transcontinental roads have an increas
ing volume of local freight to handle
AS they are not held in check by com

always high and sometimes excessive
on local traffic, and derive large ant

"Canal competition may force tn
transcontinental roads to lower thei
rates On thru freight, but they will no

Of much business. There is a certain
class of goods which they will continu
to transport in spite of the canal.'

Washington. Dec. AFTER the

At the last short session it was found
impossible to do proper justice to the
Congress Congress a should have attended to was
neglected entirely There is plenty Of
time now for careful work, and there
will be no excusea for either branch Of
congress If all necessary legislation
is not given proper consideration.
The tariff on articles from the Phil

as was ATTEMPTED without success last
year. Some changes will have to be
made in the currency system on ac-
count of the decreased value Of silver.

be additional legislation, possibly of
a paternal character, looking toward
the providing of means by which the
impecunious Filipino farmer may raise
money enough to- cultivate land and
