Ford, in a despatch to the ihu ms, may' sr "The otos t diverse opinione are held respecting the eon- eceitemees of the aetion of the Lords in bringing on the Vrisiti. One of the best informed men in Perlinnieut tells tilkt, at hem! Ca bine t, which wile falling to. pieces, has been re- united; that the petty is running over s wiik fighting spirit, and that, with the new eonstitutional question to discuss, Nittory is certain by a majority "of be- tween 100 and 200 over the Unionists anl Nationaliets. One of the principal tnssanizers on the Conservative side in - forme me that the debate in. the Lords 1104 euormously improved the chances uf the Opposition; that the massee tetnnot be interested in an alistraft ques- tion relatieg to the rights of the two Houses, and that Air. Balfour will obtain a majority of 40 to 50 over all feetions on the simple ime of chang- ims the fiscal system, supplying the un- employed with work and reducing the direct burdens of the taxpayers. "Equally conflicting are the views of time:bents respeeting the fate of the House of Lords. Radicals tell me that tlet Lords will be deprived of the pow - or ot suspensive veto on finance and gots:nil ana either will be mformedP by. the hostile' popular Gltanthee or abolished attogether-a course whieli the more advanced members of the•c a billet are already said to favor .Well-informed Conser- vatives, on the 'other hand, assert that the Lords "niave the people behind them„ and that their onnsual action will be condoned, because they are delivering, the nation front ruinous eonditions of finance. These prophets admit that Mr. Balfour's first work, if he returns to power, will be the recon- stitution of the House of Lords on the lines of Lord Rosebery's report, but they affirm that the high standard of this week's debate has deeply impressed the canary, and that conditions have enanged since 1832, when the 'whitened House was cone.picuous for ineptittide. Their argument is that the Lords are now relatively .stronger and the Com- mons Weaker than they wore then, since one House bee been improved by fresh blood and the other has been degraded and vulgarized by contact with democ- racy." LABOR MEN.. latorview Presidmt Taft as to Eis Anuttal Mestage, LORD MORLEY WILL SPEAK. London, Woo. 28.-Viscomot Morley, Secretary of State for India, will re- open the discussion when the House of Lords eon:Voiles On Monday, and he will be followed by Lord Curzou formerly Viceroy of India, providing 'the latter has recovered from his illness. Then the financiers will have their say, Lord Rothsehild speaking on behalf of the Unionists and Lord Swaything for the Libeeals. Earl Cawdor and the Earl of Crewe will make the principal speeches ou Tuesday. ' • It is certain that Premier.Asquith the day after the Lords have divided on the question svill give notice of it motion al - firming the uneontrollea right o.f the House of Commons in reepeet to flea* vial matters. Tbem is a possibility that Mr. Balfour Seal reply to this with an amendment proposing that a change in the By -stein of taxation of such import- ance .should be referred to the people. The Prentier's motion, ot coarse, will prevail, and then it will be up to the Governutent to decide whether the Douse shall he prorogued or merely ad- journed. The decision of the Government in the matter will be of the greatest im- portance so far as the finances of the country arc emmerned, as the only ato tbority now existing for the collection oT the ineome tax, the duty on tea and the increased duties on spirits and to- bacco rests on the eesolutioue passed int- medietely after the introduction of the budget. If Parliament is prorogued these resolutions come to ell end and the collection of taxes will have to stop. If adjournment only is determined mon, the resolUtions will continue in fortes and taxes can be eolleeted up to the time of diesolution. The campaign throughout the country will be begen in earnest ah soon as the clambers have been adjourned. Great meetings of both parties have. already been arranged at ell the big centres, end thoustteds of speekers aed eitnititSe- ere are moneyed to start the work which will be continued, exeept during the Christmas; bolitlays, until the last vote has been polled. . ••,..•••••,, IMPS DROWNED JUST LIKE RATS Gooapets a114 011108 Make Rec4- commendations to .Him, Wasnington, Nov. legreelteeot-silenda- tions for improVieg the toudition of the laboring men in his annual message to leumarcss were urged upon Presideut left to -day by a delegation cot labor leadere. headed by Samuel Cleavers, presideut of the American Federation of Labor; john Wend eleeltreet. dents, JAMS O'Counell, third vice-prosi- dent) aud Frank Mornsoe, secretary of the federatioe„ accompanied.

"Cook's story is suspicious both in what it does tell and what it does not tell," Mr. Wellman &clams. "He is generally vague and indefinite, but,. like most inen of his class, altogether too precise at the wrong place, No- where does his story ring true." Washington, Nov. 28, -On behalf of Samuel Gompers, John.

Tho petition says: "Tim questions in- volved in this case aro of great public importance, affecting the views and con- duct of many millions of people, includ- ing two million who are by representa- tion made defendants• in the principal afction." The constitutional right of these people "of saying by word of mouth or printed publication to each other or to others that thoy do not propose to deal with the plaintiff or purchase its products" is advanced, and the ' argument is made that several court's had sustained this contention. President Gompers and Secretary Morrison saw President Taft to -day for the first time* since they were sentenced for 'contempt. Their call had nothing to do with the criminal proceedings, however, but was for the purpose of presenting to the Presi- dent A. H. Gill and I. R.
