The presence of the Amei leans ii regarded here as an Indication of friendship between the two nations. , ' The reports published in the "yellow Journals" that Lord Salisbury is abent to resign as Premier are ridiculously un founded. It is pronounced, a very silly oanard. It is declared that there never was a moment in the previous life of Salisbury when he was more needed at the head of the government er when he felt his own duty in office more keenly, Only this week Lord Salisbury has been giving his personal attention to the problem of supplying the troops Under General Roberts and equitably and effi ciently financiering the war budget.
