New York Aug. 13 The resignation of the duke of Devonshire from the council is anticipated by informed politicians before October. The king may press him to stay, but inner government circles expect retirement along with Lord Latimer and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. If true, Balfour’s cabinet would lose nearly all influential figures except Chamberlain. The education bill may pass with a reduced majority but authority remains weak. Some foresee Chamberlain rising to prime minister within three years due to his influence and the bill’s trajectory.
