Oidrien Looks on, Support of Bud get as Treason to iteland, Chicago, .Feb. -T. P. O'Connor, in lt cable despateli to the Chieago Tri- bune says: "I had en interview to -day with Winston Churchill, the ouly Important Itlinieter who 1ms returned to London. With characteristic: pieturescreuees and courage Ito summed up the policy of the Ministry in these words: "We muat march on the enemy's guns." These words admirably lium up the whole temper of the Liberal party all over the three kingdoms. The fight against the House of Lords must be begun the moment the House of Com- nions meets and then pursued to the bitter end, however long the struggle may take, It may take yertra stud several elections to defeat tho Lord. but it must remain the dominant de- mand and purpose of the Liberal par- ty till it ends in a final eictory. The elements of dissent between the Liberals and Laborites are numerous and between the Irish and the Liberale though not so numeroua, yet they are numerous and perilous enough. A. fight against the House of Lords, how- ever, puts all sections together in one indissoluble army. Indeed, the Irish could not continue to support the Ministry unless the Ministry made clear to the country that they were resolved to go on streneously and im- mediately with the fight against the Lords. Protection in England is dead. That, at all events, issues clearly from the results of the general election. In some respects the election has ebees a disappointment to Liberals and to Irishmen, .but, on the other hand, this supreme feet stands out and thee is a big compensation. The sharply divided lines betweeu different sections of English life never were more clearly drawn than in this great contest. The south of England, that beautiful, sleep, feu- dal land, which you meet from Dover to Landon, remains inert in its cau- tery of sluggishness. Without manu- facturers, without commerce, without education, without freedom, or any ittetint for change, it has reverted to its inherent Toryism and onoe more crawled under the heel of the perste: and the squire. All these portions of the country have not only declared against pro- tection, but have done so with even greater strenuousnes then at eveu the mighty landslide Liberal election of four years ago. It is evident that no ministry could propose a protective tariff in face of such a verdict for free trade from these portions of the three kingdoms. Sleepy Sussex dare not tax progressive Yorkshire and Lancashire. If any such attempt were made, especially if it were accompanied by a tax ea food, there undoubtedly would be e violent and perhaps revolutionary outbreak in all the industrial parts of England eihich would sweep away the lafinistry, and perhaps a good many other things before it was done with. Amid the loss of many hopes this • great triumph for the progressive foXces of England stand, out in bold relief. REFORMING UPPER CHAMBER.. London, Feb. 6.-eAssociate4 Prase Despatch.) -Of even greater interest than the possible changes in the Cabs beet is the course the Government le likely to pursue upon the re -assem- bling of Parliament. Thus far, or: this, as on all other matters, Prime Minister Asquith has kept his own counsel. Among the supporters of the Government opinions differ widely .on a variety of questions, but chiefly or what is to be done with the House of Lords. The Laborites and extremist Radicals are for the aboslute" aboli- tion of the Upper chamber. Anothor section of the Ministerialists demands the abolition of the Lords' right to to, <MI financial eegislatioh and the curtailment of their veto in other legislation so that, in tho words or the resolaion passed by the Homo of Commons when the Budgee woe 'old up by the House of Lords, "the will of the people as expressee by the House of Commons must be adooteea by the House of Lords, within the limits of a single Parliament." Is other words this means that anv raeasure passed by three eueeessive ses- sions of the Rouse of Commons must be adopted by the Lords. In the meantime the Unionists, with the exception of a few Peers'who under no circumstances would find e place in the reformed Chamber, stre prectically unanimous for a change in the constitution of the House oe Lords. Wm. O'Brien, who holds the ilia, - pendent Irish members writes: "There is no doubt that the Irish party content - plates the blackest treason perpetrated against Ireland since the act of union. The Nationalists propose to assist the Government in passing the Budget, which will impose on Ireland $10,000,000 in theation per annum." • - • KING'S DOUBLE.

On the Continent he often found It impolteible to pencils:de the people that he was not Xing Edward. His Supposed ititognito would be reapeet- ed, but he hitneelf would not be be. littered.

The bodies of two men were found on tho streets of this city during the night, both having frozen to death. In the antleueite coal regions the tem- perature is below zero, and in tenne of the mountain sections of Pennsylvania the mercury fell ten degrees below the zero mark. .At Pottsville it was eight below and at Wilkesbarre five below. The minimum temperaturein Phila- delphia was five degrees above zero at 5 a. m., the coldest weather reported here since February 5, 1908.

New York, Feb. 7. -New York city experienced the rainimum in winter tem- peratures and just about the maximunt of discomfort and suffering to -day. Re- cords for the season were broken with the registering of a temperature of two degrees above zero at 8 a. m. The low- est point previously reached by the mer- cury official thermometer at the weath- er bureau was five degrees above on January 5. Below zero temperatures were plenti- fully registered on street thermometers, while in suburban territory the mercury sank several degrees lower, and from up State came word. of. drops of ten to twenty degrees below. The entire east, in fact, to -day was in the grip of the winter's best effort to beat the record. Along the Atlantic coast such a combination of zero tem- perature with gales seldom has been re- corded. Indications were for a .continuation all day of the cold wave in its severest form. The cold weather to -day was respon- sible for the injury of three persons, one of whom will die. Frozen during the night, the boiler in Max Herzke's restaurant in West 28th street blew up shortly after a, fire waa built under ii, to -day. A gas range was overturned and firo followed, The explosion wreck - al the restaurant and threw the pro- prietor, his wife and the woman cook unconscious to the floor.

For infringement of the regulation a maximum fine of $200 may be imposed under the Federtel Act and under the Provincial Health Act a fine of $20 for each infraetion of any regulation of the ProvincIal Health Board may be exected. The Provincial Secretary has agreea to act in co-operatioe with the Federal authorities, and use tee machire ery of the Provincial constables and pace officer's to assist the Dazninien veterinary inspeetora in enforcing the order. The dual jurisdietion in the ease is because of the fact that rabies ts:tnorlackn.gers both human lives and live Since the first outbreak of the clis- ease at Queeneton, through the visit • a stray canine from the United States in May, 1907, forty-bwo per- sons, of whom half were children, have been bitten by mad dogs; sixty- three cattle, one horse, six sheep, and thirty swine have died from rabies, and two hundred and six premiees have been quarantined owing to the presence of the diseaae. No deaths among human beings aro on record. Most of the persons lettee went to the Pasteur Institute in New York for tree tment. RAPID SPREAD OF THE DISEASE, A history of the spread of rabies from Queenston after thn viett of the dog which did the mischief, nearly three years ago, shows the rapid way in which the disease has extended from one county to another. A peculiarity- of the disease is that as soon as rabies develops the dog atarts out to ream the country, biting and infecting other dege or cattle, and frequently carrying the disease thirty or forty miles away before it ai66. From Queenston the disease spread to Welland, Lincoln, Haitlimand and Brant counties by June, 1908. In the following months outbreaks were re- ported in Norfolk and Oxford. Early last year cases were reported from Wat erloo, Wentworth and Perth counties, and by July infected dogs had gone as far west as Clinton, in Huron coulity. Duriiig the past few weeks easels have been reported from Simeoe and York counties, and from nearly every county in the whole of the western pen:nsula. New ceses, often from widely eepar- ated districts, are now being reported with alarming frequency. In Galt and Paris over 60 does have been killed, and a few days ago a ease of rabies was reported from Toronto. WORDS OF MAD P009. Dr. Rutherford states that thP re nmet now be scores of mad dogs scat- tered throughout the infected districts, and every dog running loose is exposed to the disease. To etathe it out tho only effective remedy is the one adopted, and though the remedy ie a severe one, the authorities believe it is amply justi- fied by the present oonditions and by the danger to which the public is subjeebed. Beamaville, Feb. 7. -Four dogs, having every symptom of rabies, wore shot in South Clinton Township on Saterde,y. The attimals belonged to Messrs. Webb, Senesky, Merritt and Konkle. Mr. Webb's dog made a savage attack on a man at hie plaee, sinking his teeth into the toe of one of his bod*. The other erea,tures were frothing at the mouth. So far no report' of live stook being bitten by these dogs hose come in. The village council on Friday night put through a by -lav that Will compel every ettuine owner in towe to procure a muzzle as soon as possible, and any animals running at large without one will be shot.

James McGovern, head of the family, is in the General Hospital, with two bee let wounds, which are likely to prove fatal. His two daughters were both hit by bullets, but fortunately their wounds are not serious, It epPears -that Martel and his mother had rooms rented from the McGovern family, and on Saturday morning when a demand for the payment of back rent was made, Martel became enraged and refused to pay the rent or leave the house. He went into his room and de- clared that he was Master there. The quarrel continued for some time, when finally Martel drew a revolver and shot at random. McGovern was shot in the head and fell to the floor. The girls, who were by this time almost scared to death, tried to make their escape, when they were both shot. Their cries for help aroused the neighborhood, and tho police were soon onethe scene. At fleet Martel resisted the police but, seeing the use- leseness of a, fight against the squad which surrounded the house, he gave himself up.

Indiana, Pa., Feb. 6. -Ten Hungar- ians and one American were killed by a gets explosion yesterday in the num- ber two slope of the Ernest mine of the Jefferson & Clearfield Coal Company, five miles north of this place. The ex- plosion occurred in a heading where twelve workmen were working. One of these, Andrew Krazier, escaped by crawling a ouarter of a mile on his stomach to evade the noxious gases. His inability to speak English prevents a lucid evplanation of the ause of the explosion. 'When he saw the lights of the rescuers he moaned and tried to crawl. He was slightly burned, but suf- fered chiefly from the effects of the afterdamp. 'He was placed in a ear and immediately taken to daylight. Some of the dead were found near the entrance of the heading, others lay along the track at short distances from each other almost at the face of the coal. Two bodies nearest the faee were burned slightly about the face and arms. The position of the bodies showed the men had made desperate efforts to crawl away from the heading. How Krazier escaped cannot be learn- ed. The only intelligible signs he makes are of crawling. When he recovers from fright and exhaustion he may be able to tell of the accident. One hundred and ten men working in the same slope escaped through headings of the mine, although they were held back for about ten hours by the blackdemp until a reseue party of twelve mine bosses reached them. One thou.samd other men, who were working in adjoining mines within a radius of three miles, heard the concussion, but mibi no heed to it, and did not learn of the disaster until they same out of the mines at night. so.
