It is at the south-east corner of the road and turn and is immediataly at the foot of the range of high land which sweeps from Roblin's Mills down to the Redners- ville shore and from Albury edst. Rednersville lies at the foot of this height of land and it would seem that the electric current proceeded along the height until it came to the end where it touched the lodge building. The building is practically un- damaged. There Is just a slight mark in the floor to-day to show the scene of the tragic meeting. This rend In the flooring indicates the progress of the bolt as it grounded. In some quarters the view was current that the electric bolt entered by the window which was open.

Arthur Meighen intimated a few days ago that he would have his cabinet announcement ready by the end of last week he clearly under- estimated the difficulties of his task, It seems now unlikely that the public will be officially acquainted with the personnel of the new Gov- | ernment beforé to-morrow at the { earliest. Final decisions had not | been taken af'the close of the week- t>+It is understood that representa- | tion of all the English-speaking { provinces, with the possible excep { tion of Saskatchewan, has now been | arranged, and that it is the question of Quebec appointments that is oe- casioning the delay. Prominent French Conservatives, it is said, are somewhat reluctant to participate in a campaign that will be characteriz- ed by the kind of appeal that Mr. Mackenzie King and his associates propose to make.

In view of the fact that this situa. tion will not be composed until the election is over, If it is then. Tt is telt that His will not' care to leave Canada in the mean- time. Having taken so much re sponsibility in recent developments, it is believed that he will prefer ta see the matter through rather than to leave to his successor the conclus- fon of the delicate task. A misunderstanding on the part of some of those closely associated with the present acting Goveryment led to the report at the end of the week that Hon. Hugh Guthrie was not to be a member of the new administra. tion. It is now stated that he was one of the first of those whom' Mr. Meighen asked. to join him. The present likelihood is that he will be made Minister of Defence, The Prime Minister spent Sunday motoring in the country. The capi. tal seemed to be largely deserted by politicians during the day, and thers was a respite from cabinet specula- tions.
