Another action which showed he
was unfaithful was the fact that after
hearing at the conference Of Mr..
Schwartz, Mr.. bennett and myself,
that there was great necessity Of Sc

May, 1908, and agreeing with US that
the matter was of such importance
that the attorney general should act
on It, and after instructing us to pre-
pare a letter to the attorney general
for him to sign, he deliberately chang

turned the matter over to subOrdin-
ate of his own department.
None of these are things upon which
a criminal charge could be predicated,

ardly for him to do these things than

was Of the simplest character, all royal
pageantry connected with the state
opening being postponed to Feb. 21.
The result of the recent elections is
so confused that even the staunchest
press supporters of the government
admit proof that the government will
have a majority to act drastically upon
the dominant issues can be established
only after the commons has settled
down to work and the nationaltsts and
laborites show their hands in course
of debate upon the speech from the
throne.
Cabinet Appointments Made.
London, Feb. 15.-The following
cabinet appointments were announced
last night:
Secretary for the home depart
ment-Winston Spencer Churchill.
President of the board of trade
Sydney Buxton.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Ian
CASTER. A. Pease.
Postmaster general-Herbert Lou
is Samuel.
J. A. Pease. who was the chief
liberal whip, was defeated at the
general election, but it is expected
that a safe seat will be found for
him in Lancashire. Herbert Louis
Samuel is undersecretary of state for
the home Office.
The changes in the cabinet are
fewer than had been expected. Pre-
mier Asquith apparently decided.
owing to the uncertainty of the po-
litiCal outlook, to make only the alb
solutely necessary appointments, and
those which have been made, being
only transfers from one Office to an
other, will not involve any by-elec-
tions except in the case of Mr.. Pease.
for whom a safe seat must be found.
