The Reconstructed Cabinet. Lonpon, Jan. 10. | The composition of the new cabinet was | announced this evening. Lord Salisbury is Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ; the Right Hon. W. H. Smith, First Lord of the | Treasury ; the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer ; Hon. Edward Stanhope, Secretary of State for War; and Sir Henry Holland, Seere tary of State for the Colonies. There is no change in the other Cabinet officers. The Earl of Iddesleigh repulsed Lord Salisbury’s offer of the Privy Seal. Lord fddesleigh denies that the condition his health debars him from accepting an onerous office, and he withdraws from oth- cial life under a strong sense of having been ill treated. His personal friends explain that he proffered his resignation only to enable Lord Salisbury to form a coalition Cabinet. When the Prime Minister's efforts in that direction failed, Lord Iddes- leigh considered himself entitled to hold a leading portfolio. MiscelNaneous News. Lonpon, Jan. 10.

What a change has come over Mr. Curtis! From being ithe big boss of the anti-water crowd, he is | now such an extremist for waterworks that ihe fears nothing will be done by a company, land therefore the citizens themselves must | build waterworks. The sewerage diffi- culty has also disappeared since Mr. Curtis has witnessed the drain from the new Post Office to the shore. Sewers now can be built at a very small cost, and paid for out of the profits of the waterworks if built by the city ; and yet, after all the advantages that are to follow the construction of the waterworks by the city, Mr. Curtis is satis- fied fora company of ‘bloated monopolists” and ‘rotten corporation” to build the works if the electors of Ward One wish it, and if elected (?) he will do anything they wish. Yes, elect Mr. Curtis, and he will be all things to all men. Yours, Evecror WARD ONE. Apvice to Morners.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always _be used when bchildren are cutting teeth.

The report was ordered to lie on the table. The Mayor submitted the City Report for the year. The Report was minus the School Board Accounts and the Board of Health Acounts, which he hoped would be ready by the end of the month. The written opinion of the Recorder with reference to the refunding of moneys col- lected under the Liquor License Act was read. He advised that a test case be made in the Supreme Court, and stated that he would argue the case free of charge if all parties were willing. On motion of Councillor Haszard, second- ed by Councillor A. A. McLean, it was ordered that a test case be made, provided all parties are satisfied. Councillor T. A. McLean, seconded by Councillor A. A. McLean, moved for the placing of six extra electric lamps in certain portions of the city. Councillor Crabbe, seconded by Coun- cillor Morris, moved in amendment that a committee of three be appointed to confer with Mr. Starr and the Gas Co., concerning the cost of the extra lights; also to see what the Electric Light Co. would sell their plant for. The amendment was carried and Coun- cillors Morris, MeRae and Horne appointed the committee. Councillor Haszard, seconded by Coun- cillor Douse, moved that the Clerk be authorized to write to Mr. Murdoch, C. E., St. John, N. B., or other engineers, asking thom if they could cometo Charlotte- town and draw up plans and specifications, and cstimate the probable cost of Waterworks before tenders are called for. Councillor A. A. McLean, seconded by Councillor T. A. McLean, moved in amend ment that tenders for the construction of waterworks be called for in accordance with the resolution passed at a previous meeting, and that the time for receiving them be extended until the Ist of April next. The amendment was lost on the casting vote of the Mayor and the following divi- sion: Yeas—McRae, A. A. McLean, T. A. Me Lean, Kelly, Crabbe, Nays— Morris, Douse, Horne, Haszard, Curtis. The original motion was then carried on the custing’ vote of the Mayor and tiie ~fol- lowing division:—- Yeas—-Morris, Douse, Horne, Hasvzard, Curtis. Nays—Crabbe, Kelly, T. A. McLean, A. A.
