Dec. 5.—The pres- Ottawa of Sir Douglas chief justice of the Su- preme Court of New Brunswick, and of Rh. W. Wigmore, M. P. for St. John, has revived the rumor that Sir Douglas will return to the cabinet of Sir Robert Borden, which he left for the bench some years ago. The fact that they are here adds cireumstantiality to the report, especially since it is stated that they were summoned here by the premier. ; There is a vacancy in the cabi- net at present. The department of-customs was left without a head when Hon. A. L. Sifton suc- ceeded Mr. Carvell as minister of publie works. Lioyd Harris is about the capi- tal and his name is once more connected with the portfolio of trade and commerce, This pre- sumes the retirement of Sir Geo. kK.
