SITUATION UNPRECEDENTED

London, April 5--Great Britain, to-
night Is In peculiar position, being
without either q premier or minis-
try. The long expected resignation of
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman, the
prime minister was officially announce
ed. According to the court circular he
resigned on the urgent recommends
tion of his medical advisers. As the
constitution Of the country provides no
automatic successor, because 1t rests
with the king to choose a new head of
the government and in accordance
with custom and precedent, the whole
cabinent resigns with the premier, no
step to appoint ministry can be TAX
en- until Herbert H. Asquith, the cham
cellor Of the cYchcquer who has been
summoned TO Biarritz for the purpose

unprecedented, there being no previ-

the premiership while the sovereign
was abroad. on this account the course
Of procedure to be followed is open &c
some doubt.

cept Sunday night, which was pretty
rough. 1t made me little dizzy but |
never get seasick. Rio was a pretty
nice place but was glad when we lett
for don't care to see negro every

We are now quite bit over half way
to Frisco or about eight thousand miles

about half way through the straits |
