?Sir. L N. 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."

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. '

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-

of polar discovery, deelarine that of
Peary "precise, worksnanlikO, consist-

denouncing that of Dr. Cook as "self-

"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-

Washington, Nov. 28, -On behalf
of Samuel Gompers, John. Mitchell
and Frank Morrison, • the labor load-
ers, a petition wag filed in the Su-
premo Court of the United States to-
day for certiorari respiring the Court
of A.ppeals of the District of Colum-
.bia to certify to tho nation's highest
tribunal for its revision and deter-
mination the appeal taken by them
in the famous Bootee Stove and Range
Company Of St. Louis.

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-

afction."
The constitutional right of these
people "of saying by word of mouth

to deal with the plaintiff or purchase

' argument is made that several court's

not only made no attack upon the

members a warning of the inapendiug
danger unless shippers and receiver*
joined with the railroads in. keeping
freight cars on the move. The railroads
say that them is really no car shortage
