Lord Ros:beryis Pan to Reform the House of Lords. New *York, Meech 13. — A. cable des- patch to The Sun from London Days: Peat:* anti quiet are looged for in the Home of Commons until after Easter. Once more, however, the politieal situ- ation Las undergone a change as a xe- sult of the most ingenious move that the Government Imo as yet made. By taking a vote on account only inifficieut for eix weeks' expenditure in. of AS usual for five er'six months, the money crisis has been engineered so that it will becorae desperately, acute by the middle of May, when the resolutions dealing with theatveto of the House of Lords will be sent to the second Chain ber, The situation at that tinae will be in mid-May, waich is oleo the date suggest- ed for the recess. At that timo all the power to carry on the ordinary businees of the country is to be brought to an eud. Tama will be no money to pay. the civil services or m even old age penen's, and as the money vote for the navy has been postponed, there will apparently be no money to pay the men of the fleet. DARE NOT DEFEAT GOVERNMENT. "Preraier Asquith lias just deolar- ed that before the May recess he' will ask the assent of the House of Com - amens to the Budget of 1909. Should the goose refuse to pass tho Budot de t r. g Asquith is going to revenge him- self on the country by leaving it . without means of carrying on its business, alai without the possibility of getting any until after another gen- eral election. • "The resolutions against the Lords are to proce-de the Budget. If they aro rejected by the Second Chamber the. sante situation will arise." The Govcrnnien n fact argues that the Opposition does uot dare to put et in a minority over the Budget, be- cause if it does the Opposition will be obliged to take office itself, a -course which is impossible for the reason that the Liberals -with their allies could im- mediately refuse supplies to them. In the same. way, if the Lords rejeot the veto the Government will be able to put the screws on them owing to the fin- ancial situation. THE GOVERNMENT'S . ADVANTAGE. in any case, whether an appeal to the country is forced by the House of Lords refusing to pass the veto resolu- tions or by the House of Commons 'e- jecting the Budget, the Government -will be able to go to the ekctors -with the claim that the Lords or tho Unionists have made the payment of old -age pen- sions tomporerily impossible, while if the Unionists swallow the Budget through fear of taking office -without power, the Government will be able to disregard the Nationalists Whether the latter abstain from voting or even vote against the Budget, which will thus be passed after all. THE LORDS CAN STRUM BACK. A cable despatch to The Tribune from London says: The Lords can play the game of political tactics as cleverly as the Ministers themselves. The Government, in destricting the eupply to six weeks for apending ser- vices, lia,e acted on the close calcula- tion that the veto resolution will be passed by the Commons during April and that the crisis caused by the re- jeetion of the proposals by the upper House will occur about the time when the present votes on account expire. The Ministers by resigning, office atraptly- under thosea - eiretunstances would compel Mr. Balfour to face the alternative of ferming a Government and of appealing to the country when the Treasury was empty and em- barrassed with the floating indebted- ness and there was no authority for carrying on spending services, or else of declining the responsibilities of ad- eninitamtion and of having Mr. Asquith at liberty to exact terme from the Sov- ereign before returning to power. THE POLICY OF DELAY. The Lords, however, can interfere with this dexterous little game by de- ferring the consideration of the veto resolutions until they have disposed of their own resolutions for reform- ing the upper cbtonbee. The votes on account would expire- before the crisis over the veto came on, and the Ministers could be forced to obtain fresh supplies themselves before re - tanning office. Probably this ' course yen be atetiettal es the best method of meeting the Ministers' expedient of limiting supplies to a- deliberately cal- eulated term in order to obtain their continuance in office and to make it im- poseible for their rivals to make up a business Administration. REFORMING THE LORDS. Lord Rotiebery's motion for resolv- ing the Lords into a committee for considering the reform eesolutions will be debated exhaustively next week, but the resolutions thetnselves will not be taken up until April, and the debate Piny be adjotirnea front week to week and followed by the long vacation, tera Rosebery's reeolutions, as en- larged by Lords Curzon and Newton, cohtemplate the restrietion in the Umber Of legislative Lords through an order of merit end the celetion of Eng- lish repreeentative Peers on the sante teruis as Trish and Scotch Peers, It will be a definite plan for strengthening the upper House and inerensing its effici- Onto.

What is even more important, it is an assurance that these ingredients have been compounded, according to the best formulee known, by expert chemists of long experience, in the employ of one of the largest wholesale drug firms in the world, the National Drug and Chemical Company of Canada. As you have probably noticed, "NA -DRU -CO" is made up of the first parts of the words "National lerug Company". It is pronounced "NA-DROO-KO", with the accent on the second syllable. What the Laws Say For the protection of the public the law of each Province in Canada states that only thoroughly qualified men are allowed to dispense prescriptions— these men being physicians or graduates of recognized Colleges of Pharmacy. The logical conclusion is that as the laws are made by the representatives of the people, the people want protection, and should welcome the opportunity of being able to procure in any part of Canada the NA -DRU -00 line of me- dicinal and toilet preparations, com- pounded by expert chemists from the purest and best ingredients, and guar- anteed by a firm of our standing. When you see the NA -DRU -00 Trade Mark you have this opportunity and the guarantee for which you are looking. Source of the NA -DRU -CO Formulae The National Drug and Chemical Company of Canada, Limited, ac- quired the businesses and maintains the honorable traditions of 21 of the principal wholesale Drug Houses in Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver. All of these firms had long and suc- cessful careers, some of them fifty to one hundred years, and during their existence they had accumulated a splendid lot of formulae which all be- came the property of the National." After giving these formulm careful stu- dy and practical tests for several years we have now brought out, based on them, the NA -DRU -00 Hee of about 125 tnecliciaal and toilet preparations. All the ingredients in these preparations are the best and purest that money can buy, and they are compounded by a staff of expert chemists, each of whom ranks high in his profeseion. We have such unplicit cotiliderice in NA -DRU -00 Preparations that we offer them With A Four -Fold Guarantee The First Guarantee is the firm behind the NekeIlltta•CO Trade Mark. The National Drug and Chemical Company of Canada, Limited, is one of the largest wholesale drug firms In the world, havina a Paid-up Capital of over Five Million Dollars. We have wholesale brooches itt the principal distributing tentrea in Canada so that you can at all times satisfy yourself that there is teeth a firm.

'We carry a stock distributed among our Brancbes of about Two Million Dollars, and in addition we own real estate and buildings which are to -day worth about Five Hundred Thousand Dollars, and other large assets. The Second Guarantee of NA -DRU -00 'quality is the NA - DRU -00 Trade Mark itself. We know that the quality of the first NA -DRU -00 preparation you buy will practically decide whether you become a regular user of NA -DRU -00 articles or not—and for that trial you may se- lect any one of the 125 preparations. So we must make each NA -MU -CO article of the very highest quality or risk the reputation and sales of the whole Hoe. The Third Guarantee of NA -DRU -00 quality is the fact that NA -DRU -00 preparations are never, at any time or in any plate, sold at cut prices. 1A -DRU -CO preparations are so much better than the preparations whose prices are cut that discerning peo- ple prefer to pay full prices for the NA - DRU -00 goods. The Fourth Guarantee of NA -DRU -00 quality is short and very much to tbe point.

Waikato, Bakers and Others Were Called Out. Printers and Musicians Will Not Join Strike, Philadelphia, March 14.—Intereat in the general strike to -day centered meth° ability of the labor unions to hold the striking workInen together and prevent a break as predioted by employers and the eity mithoeities. Early reports how that while some men did return to work after a week's idleness ttiere is no Judi - cation of a general break, but on the other hand some unions, which had Iles - hated about joining the sympathetio strike in aid of the trolley men, cast their lot to -day with the strikere. The mean out by the Central. Labor Union of all union men employed in the supplying of milk, bread and other 'nee cessitiee of life had no serious effect. tin. ion men declare diet the action of the Central Labor Union yesterday did not become generally known until to -day and that all union men engaged in the handling of food products will eventu- ally obey the strike order, Largo nilk dealers and others, however, aesert the itrike will not seriously affect the food supply of the city, as men employed in thew lines of trade are not strongly or- ganized. The strike declared against the banks is a new wrinkle in labor warfare. The new move of the labor leaders in calling upon all working men and women not only in this city, but through- out the country, to withdraw their de- posits from all banking institutions'and thus deprive capitalists, they say, of one -weapon with which to fight organ- ized labor, is being watched with great interest. This action was taken by the Central Labor Union which is conduct- ing tho general strike immense the lo- cal banking interests are disinclined to interfere in the fight between the trolley rnen and the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. Bankere seen to -day admit- ted that this latest move would be a dangmous one if it was to be unaufin- °Italy carried out, but they do not be- lieve that the unions will succeed in causing a very general withdrawal cef deposits. No apprehension is felt in banking circles because the great am- ount of working men's deposits are in saving institutions which require at letwo weeks notice of withdrawal of money. The declaration of Central Labor Un- ion leaders to use every weapon to win the present fight may involve many un- ions with their emp,oyers. When the general strike was ordered the unions, as a rule, were at peaoa with their em- ployers. Several large industrial estab- lishments scenting trouble have made concessions to their employees and have thus prevented strikes of specific griev- ances. The printers, musicians- and /several other unions that decided not to join the strike last 'week, it is believed, will stick to that deoision and refuse to obey the orders of the Central Labor Union. The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. operated almost its regular number of ears to -day. Officials of the company claim they have 4.500 men available to run the cars and that additions to their force of experienced motor men and con- ductors are arriving daily from other sections a the country. The Rapid Transit Co. announced to- day that it had employed 235 men re- cruited in Buffalo. The company de- clares it now has 500 conductors and motormen at work, and need 1,300 more to bring it service up to the standard. Early reports that there was no stare- pede to return to work were confirmed later in the day, and strike leaders de- clared themselves as pleased with the conduct of the workmen on strike. The number of working people of all classes idle because of the strike is still nuttter of dispute. The committee of ten of the general strike movement announced to -day that there would be no sudden withdrawal of union funds from financial institutions. The committee states that most of the money of tho union organizations are in sawing institutions which require notice of withdrawal. The deposits wouldbe gradually withdrawn. Commenting on the strikers' move to withdraw funds from the banks, a high official of a clear- ing souse said it "it is all buncombe and won't raise a ripple." • * STANDARD OIL, Life sf Company Now at Stake ' Before Suprome Court. • Washington, 14. —Found by the Lower Federal a combina- tion in restraint of trade, and a monop- oly of a branch of inter•Sbate commerce, the "Standard Oil" to -day appeaeed at the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States to make final argument againat its dissolution under the Sher- man Anti-trust Law.

She says: "There is no d'otart of the inferior position of women in tide country, and the reason we are so treated by the 'working' and. other classes is because the Church, especially in its marriage sorvice, encourages such treatment."

Montreal, March 14.—News was re- ceived at the Grand Trunk Pacific offices on Saturday that the engineera working on the construction of the new line, 100 miles east of Prince Rupert, have diacovered an immense area of min- eralized rook, carrying gold values of from 51 to $40 a ton, and even larger values of silver, lead and copper. The main liue of the Grand Trunk Pacific cuts through the mineralized area, which, so far as can at present be ascer- tained, extends from the Kitselas canyon far into the interior, through the hills at Hazleton and the Babines and Hud- son's Bay mountains. eat Hazleton the finds include a vein of 96 inches of solid galena ore. On Hudson's Bay moun- tain , which lies just across the Bulkley Valley from the Babino range, ors has been found which gives an average of 5100 per ton in gold, silver and lead. Many prospectors are now in the dis- trict, and considerable development work is being done on the numerous pro- spects. le • a DISARMING ITALIANS Stillettos and Revolvers Seized at Montreal.

For the last five months he bas been woraing in Mr, FerwelPs office. David, has been in the United States for eleven years, and represented sev- eral large jobbing hoalies until recently. David was brought up in the Hebrew faith; Moses accepted the teachings of the New Testnanent Three weeks ago Moses received a letter from his brother David, who was then in Toronto, Canada, liking him to come to him at once. Not knowing the import of the message, he went. When he arrived in Canada he was surprised to be told he was the reincarnated prophet Moses. For himself David claimed to be the reincarnated Xing David of the Bible. Then the scheme of bringing their 17 - year -old nephew to Toronto and to tour the United States with him was broach- ed.

Exciting Time on Board Ferry on Detroit River. Windsor, March 13, Passengers of the ferry Promise, frona Detroit to (Windsor at 2 o'clock this morning were unwilling wttneeses of a grins tragedy in which the life of an unknown Woman imui yielded up .amid the ice floes of the triver. The ferry Promise was just about to leave Detroit on its last trip -when the taptitin was notified that a wontan had Tanen into the river at the foot of Mates street, one block above the ferry landing. Linos were hurredily oast off and the big ferry moved cautiously up tho stream. At short intervals terrified screams in a woman's voice were heard, but in the darkness nothing could be seen. The lifeboat was quiekly lowered away and manned by a crow from the ferry, but the heavy needle leo made it impoesible to bring her close to the spot where the woman's cries were graeltially growing fainter. Suddenly, Walter Itew- itt, a colored man residing here, leaped front the ferry into the swirling Joy water in a heroic attempt to rescue the drowning wontane For it dozen yards he struck out bravely, thea a big ioe floe barred hie progress, com- pelling him to ding to the cake of ice mail reamed by the men in tho life- boat. Gradually the Prot/flee drifted clown dose until it /gamed almost as Omagh the woman's life would bo eaved. Then the big propeller blieclea churned the water hi a half revolution, and as those on board strahted their eyea into tlee darkners trying to locate the plaee to throw a lifeline, the voice of the "lookout" was heard, "It's no rite, boys; ehe's gone. She 4ust let ge and went dont without a WOrd." Pot half an hour the ferry lingered, while the pastengers, many of thent sick with the hotter a the traged' emitted befere limit eyes, talked in Method tones. No repent of any *Waal missing hes yet been Ynede to the Detroit authorities.

Particulars sof Hia Bot Time in Manchester. Drivea From Cotton Exchange by Angry Evokers. ••••••,,,, Got Away by Fire Escape—Cheer. ed at Liverpool. London, March 14.—James A, Pate; of Chicago, was hustled Off the Man - cheater Cotton Exchange to -day, and had to take refuge in the offices Of friend until he could elude the excited crowd by escaping down an emergency fire exit. A cab was waiting ana Patten arove straight to the station and took it train to Liverpool. Stith a scene bee not been: witeeseed on the Manchester Exchange since John Bright was ejected for persisting in making a political ad- dress when asked to desist, The attack was incited by dealers who were squeezed in the rise in the price of cotton last year, and by others who held Patten responsible for yesterday' upward turn. They believed hie pre- sent visit to England has for its pur- pose the manipulation of the market. Patten arrived in Manchester from Liverpool this morning, and went direct to the Cotton Exchange after luncheon. For them time he watched the busy scene from the balcony unnoticed. Fri- day is market day, and it was the hour of high change. There are 9,000 mem- bers, and a very tarp proportion of those present were anxious to see Patten, whose intention of paying a visit had been announoed in the papers. His friends stated that he bad been warned that his reception might not be entirely favorable, but presently he descended to the floor, and advamed to the centre of the boards, where he re- mained for some moments in conversa- tion with friends. He was soon reoog- nized. "There he is!" shouted some one., "Patten.1" yelled another, and there was at once a rush in his direc- tion, with storms of hooting. Excited traders surged round the visitor. Fists were shaken and angry shouts raised. Patten and his friends were hustled to- wards the doors with. the crowd still hooting in pursuit. They made a hasty exit, and a considerable number of the younger members followed, roaring out angry expressions and hooting. "Like his cheek, now, to dare come and beard us on our own board'!" cried one ex- cited individual. "Weil, we soon showed him out:" exclaiined another, in a tone of satisfaction. Patten was very white, but he smiled all the time, and there were counter - cheers and protests against the visitor being treated in such a manner. Patten took the arm of a friend, and with other friends found refuge in an office in Ex- change street. A considerable crowd still followed, and half a dozen police- men guarded the door. Here Patten re- mained. for half an hour, and the pollee had considerable difficulty in dispersing the crowd from this, one of the busiest shopping centres in the city. A ruse which they tried was only partially suc- cessful. A motor car was driven up to the door of the offices and a man entered. A number of policemen gath• ered round and the ear slowly moved off, followed by a portion of the crowd. The remainder, however, who had had a glimpse of Patten's striking personality, knew he was still under cover, and re- mained in the street. But a fireman engaged on the premises pointed. out that Patten could eseape through an iron fire door leading to it street running at rignt angles to Excliange street. Down this Patten went. A cab was wait- ing, and he drove et once to the station. Patten airived in Liverpool in time to visit the Corn Exchange there, and, ad- dressing the members, referred to the hostile reception he had met with in Manchester. As a mark of sympathy the members took off their hats and cheered lustily. Patten, who refused to- night to discuss the incident, returns to America, by the Mauretania to -mor - TOW. • • COAL GALORE. •••••••••••• Practical Joker Sends 20 Wagons to Churchill's. Other Members of ParliaMent Vic tins of Same Joker. London, March 14.—A practical joker is abroad in London, and it probably will not be well for him if either Win- ston Spencer Churchill, Secretary /tor Horne Affairs, or several other members of Parliament atid various coal dealers catch sight of him. The usual calm of Mr. Churchill's resi- dence was disturbed by the approach ,of the cavalcade of twenty coal wagons. Arriving in front of the house of the Vicuna Secretary, they stopped, turned and backed up to the curb with the in- tention of dumping their loads. Despite the protests of servants that no coal had been ordered, the drivers insisted upon dumping their cingoes, and it Was only after repeated telephone calla that the dealers came to the conclusion that they had been hoaxed, and ordered their men to return to the coal yards. Investigation showed. that several members of Parliament had the same ex- perienee as Mr, Churchill. *11•40.41•• ANKLETS NOW. Latest Fad Among British Smart • Set of Girls.
