He writes: "The late Government ha declared Inability to further conduct the business of the country. Practice and public convenience required It to dissolve Parliament, but this duty it hss cast upon The Right lion. A. J. Balfoar.

Lord Salisbury, who has accepted ofllce in order to ariMial to the electors at the ear-! Meet moment-" 1 Mr. Balfour proceeds to say: This Is not the occasion to explain in detail the policy. which. If a Unionist majority Is re-; turned to the nest rarllament. the Unionist villi r.ii..n.

Qnti vuum not vr atiemptea wun creui mu honor In the present position of the parties In the House of Commons. It must, there-j fore, be left to a happier period to-Ulus trate the principles we have always main tained. that It Is not by destroying ancient Institutions or by restless manipulation of the constitutional machinery that Imperial Security and domestic progress can be most' surely attained." Mr. Chamberlain to-day Issued an ad-l Ores to his constitutents In West Blr-f mlngham. Its tenor Is similar to that of, Mr.

Half cur's address: The new Colonial Secretary emphasises tho necessity of dls-j solving Parliament at the earliest time possible. He blames th Liberals for not dissolving Parliament. Ha adds that the policy of the new Gov-j ernment cannot be suitably discussed until after the dissolution, but he declares than the Unionists are absolutely agreed. If the lections place them in power, to lay asidef the wild projects of constitutional change and destructive legislation forming the1; staple proposals of the last Government and to devote their principal attention to con structive measures and social reforms. At the same time they will be prepa-edjj nwiuittin nit uviensive irsourwi ui inq empire, and to seek by all legitimate means to extend British influence and commerce! In the vast regions under the British flag.

Mr. Chamberlain will make no futrhe address to the electors previous to hi nomination. Inoulrtea show that the appointment the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain as Seci retary of State for the Colonies is met witty great satisfaction in coionmi circles. airi Chamberlain has always been favorably disposed towsrd the colonies, snd recognises the importance of strengthening and devel-j Oping their resources.

The various colonial agents in London are making srrsngements to visit and take leave of the Marquis of Rlpon. the retiring Colonial Secretary.

Committee of the Unemployed, he found standing on th. pavement a man who asked him for bis official seals.

"Mr. Campbcll-Bannerman did not know his accoster. but, on inquiring who he wan. learned that h. was Mr.

McDonnell. Ltrl Salisbury's secretary. The retiring Way Minister suggested that the conversation be continued indoors, whereupon Mr. McDonnell repeated bis silly and impertinent message. Mr.

Campbell-Bannerman refused to deliver the seals, saying that he ha I received them from the Ci'een. and Jroufl surrender them to her Majesty when le was commanded to do so. I The Dally News, commenting on th. circumstance, will say: Lord Halisbury's action violated precedent and decency.

The members of the Brooklyn Board of Estimate who cut down the requisition for teachers' salaries Tuesday; thereby making necessary a cut in the salaries, learned yesterday that they had taken a step that was not popular, and hastened to redeem themselves. Nelson J. Gates, a member of the Board of Education, appeared before the Board Estimate and said he did not believe that the salaries of the teachers In the Girls High School could be reduced without impairing the efficiency of the work.

Before the salaries w.re raised, a year or so ago, we lost some Of our best teach-' ers because they were offered better positions in institutions in other cities," said Mr. Gates. So we found it necessary to raise salaries, and we do hot think they are excessively high. A "My own judgment if it Is thought' that Brooklyn cannot support higher education, why, we had better abandon the schools than Impair the work by i reducing salaries and employing a poorer grade of teachers." The board decided to allow to the Board of Education $1,874,833, the amount asked for, less for anticipated salaries. The total amount for all purposes asked for by the Board of Education was $2.815,741, and the Board of Estimate allowed i The board also allowed $2,279,000 for the Police Department.
