The fact is the Premier worked like a slave over the Education Bill, and the over. exertion left a mark which, was not dreamed of when the Session closed, Then he seemed particularly fir, but afterwards, when his nerves had time to relax, it was found that the strain had been very great indeed. It is a matter of regret to all parties, for he is personally popular
all round the House, and it is readily conceded that under wor e leadership the fate of the Bill might have been very different, Last week I wrote that he had recovered and was indulging in gaiety at Chatsworth. He came back to town simultaneously with a "cold snap and h's susceptibility to chilis soon displayed itself. Un Monday he had to stay in his residence in Downing Street though it, was announced that there was little amiss. On Tuesday it was evilent that there was something more the. matter than at first indicated, for bulletins announcing that the patient had to keep in bed were issued. Mr. Balfour is far from robust and he can hardly afford to have many of these troublesome attacks just before the opening of a ho Parliamentary session.
