Prior to the Cabinet session, Mr. W. T. Monckton. K.C., legal adviser of the Duchy of Cornwall, arrived at No. 10 Downing Street. He and Mr. Ramsay Mac- Donald spent some time with Mr. Baldwin before the Cabinet met.

Sir Archibald Sinclair, leader of the Liberal Opposition, called at Downing Street åt 3 v.m. to-day and Mr. C. R. Attlec, Labour Opposition chief, and Mr. Arthur Greenwood, another Labour... chief, were expected later.

The Archbishop of Canterbury also called at Downing Street immediately after Sir ArchibaldTM Sinclair left.

Prayers for the King were offered in churches of Great Britain to-day, but the clergy of the Church of England, in deference to the Archbishop of Canter- bury's appeal, refrained in sermons from referring to the crisis.

When the Cabinet dispersed there was some cheering and counter-cheering by the crowd in the street-Reuter Special.

ANXIETY

FOR POPE PIUS Prayers Offered In Hongkong Churches

It is learned from Rome that orders have been issued to the Swiss Guards, gendarmes and police of the Vatican City to stand by for the signal to close all doors of the Vatican and allow nobody to enter or leave without special authority. This is the usual procedure on the death of a Pope and the warning reveals the anxiety felt for the health of the 80-year-old Pontiff, Pius XI.

His Holiness was unable to attend the service at the Vatican to-day, and has cancelled all engagements inde-. finitely.`

His Holiness is stated to have full lucidity of mind, and to have signed several documents on Saturday.

Brisbane, Dec. 7.

Australia had to fight hard for runs to-day- against the deliveries of Voce and Robins, the M.C.C. tourists' aggressive bowling pair. Voce had an excellent day, with good lengin and his deliveries nippy from the pitch. Robins' spinners are eirective.

There were 5,000 out in sunny weather to see the resumption of play to-day, and the wicket was good. Austrana, however, scored but slowly.

They reached the 200-mark in batting time of 261 minutes, Fingleton, with 89 not out, being hitherto impregnable in defence. However, he gave chances at 73 and 85.

The real nature of the Pope's ill- ness is the formation of clots of blood round the knee, due to imperfect cir- culation.

The danger is that if the clots do not dissolve, one may reach the heart, with probably fatal results. The doctors are urging the Pope to main- tain absolute quiet, but he insists on rising periodically

The Pope's health became worse during the spiritual retreat in which he has participated during the past
