Unionists Condemn Premier's Applica-

Very Few Members Anxious For

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

to avoid a itpture, and the Liberal

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 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.

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-

turning the basket. It then dashed Ina)

stroyingat'he smokeatack. %Vita the bas-
ket swaying wildly' and half of ite ropes

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.

the sea she rushed shrieking towara the
ambulance to which it was being car-
ried. She threw herself upon the lifeless
form, kissing it repeatedly, and refusing
to be led away.
As the weather was stormy, Lebion's
flight was unexpected, and only a few
persons assembled to see the etart.

RESTORES THE APPETITE
ROOSEVELT IN ROME
Former President Has Talk With King Em-
manuel ---But He Did Not Visit Vatican.
e Rome, April 4.—King Viotor Em-
manuel received Mr. Roosevelt at the
Quirinal to -day. 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.
The determination of Mr, Roosevelt
to forego an audience with Pope Pine
X. rather than subscribe to the condi-
tions imposed by the Vatican, has creat-
ed a sensation. This unfortunate and un-
expected incident overshadows every
other feature of the distinguished Am-
erican's visit to the eternal city.
Mr. Roosevelt sought an audience with
Terrible Crime of Woman While Men-
tally Unbalanced.

dor Leishman, and reoeived a reply that
the Holy Father woad be delighted to
receive him, but the answer was coupled
with an expression of the hope that the.
audience would not be prevented be
such a regrettable incident as made an
audience for former Vice-Preeident Fair-
banks impossible. Mr. Roosevelt in turn
stated that he could not swept any
stipulating limiting his freedom ef
conduot. To the latter message the Teti -
can made anewer that the audience
could not take place excepting on the
understanding first made known, On
March 29, Mr. Rooeevelt 'sent te Ambass-
ador Leishman• the following Liable mes-
sage:
'
'Proposed presentation is of course
now impossible."
Mr. Roosevelt insists that the incident
be treated as purely personal, and ear-
nestly hopes that it will not give rise to
any bitterness. He appreciates the atti-
tude of the Vatican, but feels that as a
free American citizen he Cannot cousist-
ently take any action that might be con-
strued an involving a limitation oe the
freedom of his personal conduct.
The Messagera sags: "When the news
spread it was received with incredulity
many regarding it as a malicious faterica.
tion of the enemies of the Catholic
Church, but when ccfnfirmed it produced
comment disastrous to the Vatican, Men
of every religion daily visit the Pope
withoutfirst giving the itinerary of the
churches which they intend to visit. Why
should the Vatican require Mr. Reese.
velt to ignore the churches of his own
religion during his short, stay in Rome?
"The incident will not add to the dip-
lomatic fame of the Pope's advisers.

cancerous cells are destroyed by a tem-

healthy cells. The healing of the tissues
follows immediately upon the coagula-
