NO BITTER FEUDS IN CABINET.
New York, Feb. 26.—,A. cable despatch
to the Tribune from London says; Ac-
cording to the best information obtain.
Able, there are no bitter feuds within
the Cabinet, but merely honest differ
-
oleo of opinion respecting the most .ef-
fective procedure agams tthe Lords, The
report that Sir Edward Grey has threat -
enact to resign office is a canard, and
equally untrustworthy has been the ru.
mor that a combination has been formed
to drive the Clutuctilor of the Excheciaer
out of office. The burried visit of the
Prime Minister to Buckingham Panto
gave rise to rumors that hie resignation
WS impending, but these have beeu
promptly contradicted with the story
that Witston Churchill is holding out
evith David Lloyd -George against the
majority of the Ministry. It is more
probable that Mr. Churchill is acting as
peacemaker in the Cabinet, siding with
the majority, and is seekino to bring
the disappointed Clutacellor °to reason
and to call of ehe indiscreet Itedical
editors.
The Cabinet has been divided into
two well-defined groups of temporary
tacticians, and far-sighted statesmen.
One bas favored a simple, straigntfor-
ward policy for the limitation of the
powers of the House of Lords without
a change in 4the constitution �f
the hereditary chamber. The oth-
er has looked beyond. the immedi-
ate necessity of Bilking together the
groups making up the coalition, and
has recognized the, necessity of fram-
ing a statesmanlike reform bill, cora-
prehensive in scope, on which the
Government can appeal to the coun.
try at the .next election.
Meanwhile, before either resolutions
or a bill, can be produeed, there is Sir
Henry palziel's amendment to the Prime)
Ministenhe motion for giving precedeace
to. Government business until Easter.
When the crisis coznes it will prob-
ably turn out that a Cabinet agree -
anent has already. been reached, mad
that a basis of eoint action for the
coalition has been found temporarilly
on the veto question, yet the situation
cannot b described otherwise than as
critical.
STILL CONTROLS THE SITUATION:
While every section of the coalition
is suffering from attack of nerves,
even so hopeful a Radical as H. W.
Maseingham, the editor of The Nation;
cannot suggest a better way eta of the
deadlock than the adoption of a refer-
endum, width would convince the
King of the zteeeseity for guarantees
and also keep the Government in of-
fice without a general eleetion. These
counsels of despair may be dispelled
by the 'united, if 'belated, action of
the Cabinet an the resolute bearing
of the Primo Minister, who has not
yet accepted dietation from any group
and is still master of the precarious
situation, since he alone can straigh-
ten out the finances before the end of
March, and since every section of the
Commons is anxious to avoid a prema-
• ture appeal to the ountry.
Tho less influential Peers are in
greater danger front Lords Itosebery
and Curzon than they are from the
distracted Radical patty. Lord Rose-
bery -will take an early opportunity of
proposing the reform of the upper
Chanther from within, and Lord Cur-
zon hap been -working out a practical
echento for convetting it into a smaller
and more effieient body of legislative
peers. Practical politicians on the
Conservative side agree that the party
must have a definite whom° for the
reform of the upper rfous *before the
next general election, since a body of
• hereditary legislators, pure and sim-
ple, cannot be defended in the indus-
trial north and Stobland, or anywhere
outside of feudel England.

QUESTION OF ARREST
Ambassador Bryce Interferes in

Woodstock, N. B., Fcb, 27.—The re-
cent arrest of William Kelly, of Rich-
mond, N. B., and his subsequent convic-
tion in a 'United States court at Port-

posed because dudge Newcomer gave her
the power in the Desplaines street court
on Friday. The hueband .Charles Ul-
rich, was paroled to his wife afterr being
arraigned on a charge of drunkenness.
"The judge told me I could boss him
around and I'm going to keep him out
of trouble," said Km Ulrich. 'It was a
funny thing for a. judge to do, wasn't
it?"
"Li addition to doing the washing
and doing the dishes I am going to see

They wanted to eee Sir James, but
Sir James was wary, and sent a hurry
up call for 1Vfr. C. C. ja,nme, Deputy
Minister of Agriculture. .As before,
the Premier was none too enthusiastie
on the subject. He could not promise
that the ladies' request for one thous-

lands would be granted, pointing out
that the Government did not con.
eider it a business -like method to

"If we organize will we get the
