Mr. Otway explains through the Daily News that he resigned
his post on the 27th November because he disagreed with the Government upon an important question of foreign policy,—that is, we presume, because h. --liked the acceptance of a Conference
before the Russian Note ieen withdrawn. His place has been filled by Lord Enfield, a man little known to the public, and his resignation has been followed b^ other changes. Mr. Monsell, for example, Under-Secretary for the Colonies, has been promoted to the Postmaster-Generalship without a seat in the Cabinet, and it is believed may be succeeded by Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen, now Under-Secretary for the Home Office, where he will be re- placed by Mr. Lefevre, who has for a twelvemonth done the whole work of the Board of Trade, an office ---- he is peculiarly qualified. Mr. Stansfeld remains Secretary one Treasury, and it is explained that he was not offered the Post Office, which with- out a seat in the Cabinet is almost a sinecure. The Department governs itself.
