D. 888 Venice, Italy, July 11. -The Cam- panile (detached bell tower) of Std Marl's Church, 98 metres high, col- lapsed at 10.40 this morning, and fell with a great orasit into the Plaza. The Campanile, wltieh was entirely detached from the Cathedral, col- lapsed where it stood and is nowt a heap of ruins. The Cathedral and Palace of the Doges are quite safe, but a corner of ,the Royal Palace was damaged. Repairs on the Cam - pantile were to have been commenced to -day.

Balfour's Remoras. ' The new Premier, when he entered the conference roma of the Foreign Office 'at noon, accompanied by. the Duke of .Devonshire, Sir Michael Hicks -Beach, Lord Londonderry, and others, received quite au ovation, all present standing and loudly cheer- ing him, When bar. Balfour rose to address the meeting all again stood up and cheered the new chief. As soon as quiet• was restored Mr. Bal- four referred to the loss of the ser- vices of the chief, who for nearly, tiny year had been engaged in active political life, No one, hesaid, would grudge him lits welt - earned repose, though itis loss was irreparaiUie. "I do not flatter myself," proceeded the Premier, "that the gap he has left can be filled. But the place ho has left must be occupied, and it iso because the King has desired me to do my best to take that position that I have. asked you to moot mo to- day. I have accepted a great task and a heavy responsibility, cer- tainly from no overweening belief, in my own capaulty, but because Den sure, or at least have every reason to believe that in attempting to carry on this work I will have the most• important qualification a Ieader can have, namely, regard for and confidence in those with whom he works. "I cannot now promise myself that I shall have the continued assistance of all nay colleagues. Ono of thomost important of them, with whom I have been associated all my political life and who has occupied and deserves to occupy the highest post In the House of Commons and State, has told me that I cannot count on' las further asslstlance.

But, though I grieve to say I cannot count with any assurance on his further as- sistance, I can Count with absoluteonlidence c onI good wishes In the his labors that are before us." ,At this juncture Sir Michael Rieke - Beach, amid applause, signified his assent by crying heartily, "hear, hear." "Foe myself," continued Mr. Balfour, "I have nothing to say. T, t ail 'the members, or at all events to the members of the House of Commons Who aro listening to niq, I hava no secreits and no surprises.

I3[s Majesty's excellent constitution has. played. a conspicuous part in bringing this about. If the present rate of progress is maintained, and if no more complication arises, the King's medical advisers are of the opinion that His Majesty would be .bible to undergo the fatigue of the ctoronation ceremony on a day be- tween Aug. 8 and 12. The exact date wilt shortly be announced. The pro- cession through London, which was to Have taken place the day follow- ing the coronation, is cancelled." It is understood that the general outline of the programme of the pro- cession to Westminster Abbey, and the route to be followed, will not be changed, blot the pageant will be sbnrn of some of its intended mag- nificence. The details of the pro- gramme will bo settled by tate King himself, who will also decide to what extent the actual ceremony is to be cutrtailed so as to' avoid fatigue. The Kung's physician's advise that the ceremony killould not exceed one hone, and this could be managed by saorilicing the sermon', the litany, etc. It is expeoted the Queen Alexan- dra and -Sir Francis Laking, physic - Ian -in -ordinary to +Ulito King, with His Majesty's nurses, will accompany the King on board the royal yacht, tale Victoria and Albert.

All tate details of tfie moving of We Majesty will •be kept• secret. Everybody except the officials concerned will be excluded from tate railroad stations, and every precaution will be taken to prevent public demonstrations. The royal yadhit airlift probably be moved off Cowes, Isle oI Wight, until the condition of the King's nealth and the weather justify a cruise, when the Victoria and Albert may go to Plymouth and 'lay off the Earl of Mount Bdgcambe's beautiful estate. 'Bo -night's report of Kling Edward's condition . says His Majesty contin- ues to maake good headway.; (St. John Sun,) Publication of this despatch has led to a now outpouring of abuse on the unfortunate head of the general who wrote it. It is a lonesome task to plead In mitigation of ;eullcr's offence, but it will be seen that he did not or- der White to surrender, as has been charged tt.,gainst him. The sugges- tion was made, but it ought to be read with Buller's explanation made fast year. Buller has stated that he thought the garrison was reduced to the last extremity from disease and want eif food, and ho desired to relieve White of !Sart of the responsibility of a surrender, which seemed for be tho necessary result of Ehe failure • to relieve Ladysmith. But White was given a chance to offer an alternative sug- gestion as Itis position and circum- stances might dictate. , It Is cer- tainly an incorrect statement that "White disobeyed Bullcr's orders by refusing to surrender." The des- patch would convey to any officer the idea that he .ought to hold out if he could, batt that he could not count ole relief for some Brno to come. But again wau L m s remember that he was not in the same position as Lord Roberts was before the relief at Kimberley. Lord Roberts did not hurry. I1, was two months after the battle of i,Lagersfontoin before Kim. herby was relieved, while from the time when Buller sent itis message to the War Office until the relief of Ladysmith it was two and a half months. During most of that lime oeneratl Ilueer was snaking the most strenuous exertions. He did not, like General Roberts, wait until lie had a sufficiently large army to turn the flank of 'the enemy. One would like to know what Lord etoberte would have conn with General Buller's, force on the Tegrle, and what liulier would have nccompilsbecl with the great tinny of Lord Roberts on tho.fodder River.
