A BRITISH CRISIS.
The Premier Has Resigned Carrying
Ministry With Him.

London.-Great Britain Sunday
night was in a peculiar position, being
without either premier or ministry,
The long expected resignation of Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the prime
minister, was officially announced. Ac-
cording to the court circular he re-
signed on the urgent recommendation
Of his medical advisers. AS the con-
stitution of the country provides no
automatic successor, 1t resting with
the king to choose q new head of the
government, and in accordance with
custom and precedent the whole cabi-
net resigns with the premier, no step
to appoint ministry can be taken un.
til Herbert II. Asquith, the chancellor
of the eychequer, who has been sum
moned to Biarritz for the purpose, has
seen the king.
The position of the country Is quite
unprecedented, there being no previ'
Gus example of a change occurring in
the premiership while the sovereign
was abroad. On this account the
course of procedure TO be followed is
In some doubt.

Subtle Meaning in Poets Criticism OF

Joaquin Miller, the poet Of the Sler-

rarely comes into San Francisco, but
when he does he is made a good deal
Of a lion. On his last visit he was
one Of the guests at rather formal
dinner at a friends house where he
stayed overnight. His hostess had
known the poet since her childhood,
so she felt privileged, next morning, to
discourse to him of the beauties Of
the Partisan gown she had worn the
night before-beauties which seemed
to have escaped his observation.
Mr.. Miller listened to all that she
had to say and remained silent.
"But didn't you really like the
dress?" pleaded the lady.
Well" replied the poet. 81 did like
part Of 1t well enough"
The lady frightened.
"Indeed?" she said "What part?"
"The part you had on" answered
the poet; and that ended the discus
sion.-Lippincott's.
