By Special Correspondent, BRAZIL* Ind., July 18.—The city*f council last night Instructed City Attorney Hutchison to appear before the public service commission when the hearing on the petition of the electric companies for an Increase in rates comes up and enter a protest against the raise. /The council has also asked any citize.ii who has any information that will help the city attorney in his fight against the raise in electric rates to consult with the attorney at once.

ENGLISH PRESS RAPS CHANGES IN CABINET

Carton Leaves Admiralty to Join Wax Council—Churchill Becomei Minister of Munitions.

LONDON, July 18.—The new cabinet! appointments get a mixed reception in the morning newspapers. The major-! lty, however, are indulgent, and express the willingness to give the appointees a chance and to judge them by results. The selection of Sir Eric Campbell Geddea, who has been direc-tor-general of the munitions supply, to' head of the British admiralty, arrests a large share of |he editorial attention. It Is described as startling, original and bold, but his record in other posts is amply recognized as a great one.

The tory press deplores the removal of Sir Edward Carson from the admiralty, where it declares he has ueen a great success, while the radicals, to i whom Sir Edward is a perennial ob- I ject of their displeasure, were dis- I gruntled at his admission into the Innermost ministerial sanctum.

The reception to Winston Spencer' Churchill, who succeeds Dr. Christopher Addison as minister of munitions, i is nowhere enthusiastic.

The Morning Post, after a lukewarm reference to Sir Eric Campbell Geddes and a vitriolic attack on Edwin Sam- i uel Montague, the new secretary for India, says of Churchill: "Although we have as yft not Invented an unsinkable ship, we have i discovered an unsinkable politician," and refers to his "colossal blunders ana overweening conceit."

The newspaper fully expects he will repeat his blunders, and says his appointment "shows our politicians have an open contempt for all sound principles of administration."

The hew cabinet appointments arise out of the resignations of Mr. Chamberlain as secretary for India, and Andrew Bonar Law's request to be relieved of his duties as a member of the small war cabinet which he found incompatabla with his heavy 1 ^sponsi-. bilities. first as chancellor of the epc- Roy chequer and second as leader of the house of commons.
