It is predicted that Mr. Arnold -Forster, Parliamentare Secretary' for the Admiralty, will succeed him, but lids is doubtful, as with the promotion of Austen Chem- berlain, Levi Selborne, and others it would mean that the Liberal -Un- ionists would be represented numer- ically in the Cabinet far in exeees of their proportion of represents,. tion in Parliamene. With the resignation of Lord Bal- four and Financial Secretary El- liott, both strong free tradere, it is understood that the Ministerial re- signations are completed and ap- parently the Duke of Devonshire has decided to renialn in the cabinet. It is practically certain that Aue- ton Chamberlain, Lord Milner and Mr. Drodriek will take the Exchequer, Colonies and India portfolios respect- ively, and the only surprise in the new appointments is likely ato be the nomination of a strong man to the War Office to determine how, far the recommendations of :the eouth African War Clommisseon. can be car- ried out.

Gloomy Forboditlf.T. Sault Ste. Marie despatch: The town is totally paralyzed by the thunderbolt which struck it this =ening, in the shutting down of the Consolidated leek Superior Company's plants. The announce- ment on Tuesday that the steel plant and blast furnaces would be closed dowel for the winter was bad enough. Even that weiiild have been sufficient to impair business confidence, with many resultant failures, but .thelatest official notice has sufficed to provoke panic. Where it will all end it is im- possible at the present to fore- cast, but it is certain that a. con- tinuance of the depression for even a few weeks would be sufficient to Produce a heavy orop of assign- ments. Until yesterday it was thought that a general abet -down of the plante would be averted, the com- pany's statement for 'August show- ing that the industries in operation had earned a net profit of $160,- 000. The cause of the sudden collapse • is that Speyer & Co., the holders of the $5,050,000 anortgage have tak- en steps to foreclose. It is the gee eral opinion that the company's assets will finally be led in by the syndicate announced to have form- ed some time ago. This would have the effect of Wiping of 1 the slate the $102,000,000 of capital stock, and enabling recapitalization upon a reasonable basis, say at $35000,- 000. As it is, all is dreary in the Soo to -night. Scenes on the street re- mind one of experiences related of panics in mining eaenps.

We are told that the whole thing is eimply a. move in a freeze -out game, and that -the late president, F. 11. Morgue, will be found at the head of a neu syndicate to take every- thing over. The rosy viewof the situation: is that the enormoua Vent, all in good physical condition and ready for operation, will not be long allowed to reirtain idle. Other - capitalises will eventually take it over, and then them wbo have come through the crisis will be ia a. position to make sotriC money. 13a11 Management, Philadelphia, Pa., despatch : At a meeting of the stockholders of the Consolidated Lake Superior Cem- pany Protective Committee, which is represented by IL Rothermel as counsel, it was determined to strengthen further the public stand- ing of the committee by increasing Its' membership to five, so as to take In two now' men of recognized force and integrity.
