Very Few Members Anxious For Another General Election, •If1,111,0••••••,•••• London, April 3. --When a British Premier is compared to Robspieme and Dantou it is evident that peat - cal passions in England are running high. Mr. Aequith's anouncement et his intention to limit the discussion of the veto resolutions which were introduced in the House of Commons on Tuesday last is transleted .by a Unioniat organ into "real/elution by guillotine." Five Parliamentary days are given, the Un- ionists deciare, eo make the revolution —five days in whicli to destroy the leg- islative power of the House of Lords and reduce the life of Parliament from seven to five years. Mr. Asquith's resol- utions, it is pointed out, exceed in im- portance any legislative proposals in the last two centuries, yet only five days are allowed for Parliamentary discus - This is compared with the thirty- two days giventhe licensing bill in 1908, the sixty days given the educa- tion bill in 1902, and the eighty-two days given the home rule bill of 1893. Under the tirae-table laid down by the Premier less than theee hours will be allowed the debate on the question of limiting the duration of future Parliaments to five years —a revolution in the constitution. The Pall Mall Gozette puts it thus: "The edifice that has taken 500 years to perfect is to be pulled down in five Parliamentary days and the arithmetical parallel is to be carried farther by the provision that in the five half hours following the House of Commons is to be compelled to pledge itself to the principle of five- year Parliaments. Debate is to dis- appear from Parliamentary procedure altogether, and the dock is to be the sole criterion of destiny. "The House of Commons is bidden to sit dumb and watch the hands of the clock until the fateful periods aro reached, when the foreordained deeisions of the arch dictator of the Treaeury bench aeo to be registered by such majority as he can command Lor the time being." The Unionists' futy is aggravated by their inability to learn exactly whet the Governme-nt tactics will eventually lead to. When the veto resolutions are sent up to the House of Lords on May 14 Mr. Lloyd -George -will rein- troduce the old Budget and then it will be seen whether Mr. Redmond will deliver the blow which will bringi the crisis to a head at the end of tbe month or will wait until the Lords have rejected the veto resolutions. It is only those outside of Parliament who would welcome an election. In the, House itself there are not a dozen men who have any deeire for a second appeal to the country or who believe that such an appeal would give a re - *suit materially differing from that of January last. The Labor party and the Irish are both without funds, and there are many who think Mr. Redmond's ultimatum of Tuesday last pure bun- combe, and that when it tomes to the point of voting for the Budget or of turning the Liberal Government out a office with the inevitable result of precipitating an election, the National- ists will show less of what William O'Brien calls Redmond's contumacy. TEMPERS ARE RISING. Chicago, April 3.—Mr. T. P. O'Con- nor sonde the following to The Tri- bune: The situation in the British political world still remains tense and uncertain, but tempers are risng gradually as the real fight against the Lords is fully started after many months of delay and vacillation. The, debate in the Commons is on a high level, both in ability and passion, and Asquith and Churchill put the ease against the Lords and the' bold policy of the Ministry is more daring and absolute terms than at any mom- ent since the beginning of tate con- troversy. It is still doubtful whether Asquith will demand guarantees for the creation of peers to carry the resolutions, espec- ially as nobody thinks the King would give them, but it is not doubtful, if the veto resoultions are rejected or shelved by the peers, that Asquith cannot hold Ida office. The pa sent peospect then, is that in some six or mitt weeks the Ministry will resign, Balfour ey111 be called into Office and immediately we will have a dissofution. Some Liberals, however, favor the Ministry keeping the dissolu• tion la their hands, and before going to the electors asking the King for guaran- tees if the election gives them a major- ity a eecona time. These tactics, how - aver, aro stilt undecided. Indeed, the peeuliarity of the situation is that nothing is finally decided by any party. Conditions cbange from hour to hour till, an even the.attitude of the Irish party to the Ministry and especially to 'the budget, is still undecided. The temper between the Irish and alee Ministry is improved, and there le a. growing desire among the Irish to avoid a itpture, and the Liberal rank and file iS working energetically to compel the 31inistera to 'avoid Ruch a collision* but the forintila, for solving the eituetion tan not yet been found, The eituatam in Ireland is profoundly menlified by the growing feeling that the evilg of the buaget aro grogily ex, aggerated by O'Brien, and.

MR. REDMOND'S ORDERS. Landoll, April 3.—Mr, John Redmond, speaking at Tipperary last night, de - elated Mr. Aequith must hold the third reading of the budget until the Lords voted, on the veto resolutions. If the Loads eejectea the resolutions, then the Premier must ask for ouarantees. If these are refused he inua resign inune- diately, On the other hand, the News de- clares emphatically that the budget will pass, but gives no reason for its opinion. FRUIT MEN. Niagara Peninsula Association Wants Northwest Field, St. Catintrinee, April 4.—A special meeting of the Niagara Peninsula Fruit - growers' Association was held on Satur- day, when the question of reducing or taking off the duties on American. fruits coming into the Canadian Northwest was discuseed, and the following TOW- illti011, to be forevarded to Hon. Mr. Paterson, Minister of Customs, was unanimously adopted: Moved by John Scott and George X. Walker, the Nia- gara Peninsula Fruit -growers' Associa- tion beg to state that during the past twe or three years efforts have been put forth to place in the western markets large supplies of Canadian-gaoevn fruit, with considerable eatisfaetion to eon- eumers, toed we believe that any change in the present rate of customs will re- sult in serious injury to °what promisee to be a very large trade in. the near future. We therefore humbly. pray that no change be made in the existing auties ia fruit at the present time until all the parties interested may he consulted. Another resolution was ad -opted, in motion of C. 11. Hare and Alexander Glass, to the effeet that if necessary the executive send a delegation to Ottawa to impress the views of the growers on the Government. BANK WRECK. Bank of Montreal Takes Hold of the Mexican Concern, Montreal, April 3.—At the Bank of Montreal offices your correspondent was informed to -day that there were no new developments in the case of the Bank of Montreal against the United States Banking Co. of Mexico aty. The latter bank failed some weeks ago, and the Bank of Montreal have filed claims for $7,089,043. They are the largest credi- tors, and ask that the directors of the defunct bank "be held personally respon- sible for the losses of the bank from mismanagement and non-comptiance with the provisions of the law: The relation ef the Bank of Montreal to the defunct United States Banking Company is in a measure similar to its relation to the Ontario Bank at the time of its failure. In both cases the Bank of Mont- real took over the defunct banks, and under its careful management and super- vision the Bank of Montreal expects to come out of the difficulty with the min- imum loss both to itself and sharehold- ers. While their claim of over $7,000,- 000 seems very large, the Bank of Mont- real is giving the matter very careful attention, and with the securities and available assets from the defunct bank the Bank of Montreal expecte to come out all right.' This proceeding is ex- pected to take some time and in the meantime the local official's state that there is nothing new in the situation. o • e, WAS ROBBED.

The wind was blowing a hurricane, and. the Pommern broke away before she wee completely ballaated.. A chapter of accidents began immedi- ately. The balloon collided with tele- graph wires'which broke, almost over- turning the basket. It then dashed Ina) the roof of it neighboring feetory, de- stroyingat'he smokeatack. %Vita the bas- ket swaying wildly' and half of ite ropes eat, the balloon soared to a great alti- jaensdpedeid. sappearedan the cIouda at a lhousands of onlookers, including a detachment of military which had as- sisted in the ascent, ran along the roads, expecting the basket to break away. Eke bellow', however, was not seen again until iL reached Swinemunde 30 miles northwest of Stettin over whiela it passed, at a height of 0,400 feet, 10 the direction of the sea. Tugs followed in its tracks, andone of them which had outdistaneed the others was camel: di- reetly under it when suddenly the bal- loon fell into the sea. The tug steamed to the spot quickly, but the work of res. cue was difficult. Already Delbrueek and Benduhn had disappeared, but Seta melhardt and Hein were clinging to the ropes, and they were dragged aboard the need. Describing their terrible experiences, Kerr Semmelhardt, when he had been somewhat revived, said :"Our collision with the telegraph lines and the factory roof lied the most horrible consequences. Delbeueck sustained a broken leg and a severe injury to the heed. Benduhn bad an arm and a legfractured. Hein re- ceived bad contusions on the head. I was koneked senseless, but recovered in a moment to find that I hada ciushed knee and chest. "Delbrueek, in spite of his awful con- dition, vainly endeavored to open the valve, which had become entangled. We knew not what to do, but merely await- ed our fate. "In the meantime we passed over Swinemunde at a great altitude, and soon found ourselves above the sea. We thought possibly that we might land in Sweden, but the balloon was caught in a rain cloud, which drove us down, until we were within 150 feet of the water. Delbrueck was suf. feting agony, but he succeded in pulling the rip cord, and we fell into the ‘vater like a log. All managed to get clear of the basket. I, with Hein swam and caught hold of the network, but Dek brucek and Benduhn sank. I remem- bered no more until I found myself in the boat which rescued us." Hein died soon after being taken on the tug, and Delbureck's body leas washed ashore this evening. TORONTO STATION. Grand Trunk Prepares Plans For Splendid Modern Building. Toronto, April 4.—The G.

The hour of his -re- ception being known considerable number of persone --gathered to greet him on his way from the hotel to the palace. King Victor Emmanuel wore the uniform of get eral of the Italian ermy. His words of welcome spoken in excellent English were most cor- dial. His Majesty and Mr. Roosevelt shook hands heartily, the monarch inviting the former president to sit at his side. The door of the King's aeartment was then closed and the two remained in private conversation for about three quarters of an hour. Expressions of teiendship on behalf of their respeetive countries were ex- changed, Following the audience), Mr. Rowe- velt said the Virg had been so grac- ious and flattaing both to him per- sonally and to his country that he felt that he ahould not make public anything coneerning their conversa- tion. From the Quirinal Mr. Roosevelt drove to the Pantheon and placed a wreath upon the tomb of Victor Em- manuel II. and King Humbert.
