THE BREAKDOWN AT BRISTOL Among the iste Premier's intimate friends the opinion bad long prevailed that his break- up really dated its origin from the time of Lady Campbell-Bannerman's-death in August, 1905.
The snapping of the ties of an almost life-long dévotiop was too much for the Premier, already well advanced in years, to secover from entirely.- There was no immediate collapse in health, but a decided change was observable in him. Sir Henry's cheery optimism was less apparent, and his susceptibility to colds and trifling illa, which had previously been readily thrown off, was more and moro apparent. But it was not until last November that a really alarming breakdown accurred.

The change did him much good apparently, and when he returned early in the year, it was hoped that he was fortified for the strain of Parlimentary work. But he had by no means entirely recovered, and when he visited the.

Agaio his physical strength proved inferior to bis determination of spirit, and on February 13 and 14 he was oblig. ed to stay away from the House.
