LORD HOPETOUN'S RESIGNATION: The Earl of Hopetoun would, it is now stated, not have resigned on account of the rejection of his request for an extra annual grant of £8,000 alone, but the Government afterwards intimated that allowances for staff, lighting feel, and other maintenance charges, amount- ing to £4,700 annually, would be withdrawn. The withdrawal of these allowances, which have always been granted to State Governors and have never heen questioned until lately, would make Lord Hopetoun's available salary only £6,000,
