THE CABINET VACANCY.
A feature of interest in connection with the Cabinet vacancy (says the Auckland "Herald") is the fact that the portfolio of Railways, which is about to be relinquished by Mr Hall-Jones, carries an additional £3OO a year in salary. It is thus a "plum," in connection with which the question of seniority may crop up. The Hon. James M'Gowan—-assuming that he does not retire from the Ministry, as has been suggested in some quarters may be considered as having the best claim on this specially-salaried portfolio. In any case, whatever happens, it is probable that there will be a general readjustment of a great number of the portfolios.
