.OPINION OF CABINET MEMBERS.
(Received June 11, 10 a.m.)
MELBOURNE, This Day. Mr. Hughes still preserves a sphinxlike attitude respecting Mr. Watt's resignation. He states that nothing has comeofficially before him, hence he reserves his comment till later. Meanwhile ho is rabbit-shooting at Wagga. In Melbourne, Mr. Watt's dramatic •resignation is regretted, but he is blamed by his colleagues for precipitancy. It is suggested that" Mr. Watt sought the Cabinet's acquiescence in a certain direction, intimating that he would vacate the Treasurership unless it was forth■coming. Acquiescence being refused, the resignation followed as a matter of course. But what wer« the actuating motives is so far largely a matter of speculation.
