SURE TO COME.

.RECONSTRUCTION OF CABINET. MR COATES WILL TAKE HIS TIME NO ANNOUNCEMENT AS YET. (By Telegraph. —Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Nov. 14. Here, at the centre of Government, subjects political are very quiet.The Prime Minister (Hon. J. G. . Coates) resumed work on the morning after the General Elections, and, like the gentleman who made fame in another line, “is still going strong.” In addition to his many departmental cares, Mr Coates is faced with a mountain of congratulatory correspondence, •all of which receives careful personal attention. He is a tremendous workei - just as tremendous since the election as he was during the campaign. Much is being written about reconstruction. None of it is "semi-official,” none of it “inspired,” and much of it nonsense. The Prime Minister has not. spoken on the subject, but he is a . quick thinker, and already he might have done the rough draft in his head. Reconstruction is sure to come, but . not for some little time yet. Mr Coates will take his own time. MR. COATES GOES SOUTH. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Nov. 14. The Prime Minister left Wellington on Thursday night for the South 'island without making announcements regarding Cabinet vacancies. He has .had a constant succession of callers and.a mass of advice, verbal and otherwise, on the subject of reconstruction, but to ail his friends he has given tho invariable answer: “1 am not in a hurry over that job.” There have been many Government members among the visitors, which lias given tho gossips ground for interesting speculations about possible new blood, but there is no solid basis for speculation, because nothing has been . done to give a clue to the Prime Minister’s intentions. Will lie make ..changes in his present teamP This is expected among some of the Reform members who have paid a visit to Wellington ,but Mr. Coates himself preserves a discreet silence, and the Ministers, under unofficial sentence are doing their work. Whatever their Ministerial fate, the arbiter is in no 'hurry.
