New York, Aug. &-The London oarreepondent of the Evening Post rabies as follows: Monday's division in the House of Coramons will be the sea - times final test of the Unionist free traders. The resolution is pradically one of censure upon Lord Lansdowne, Mr. Lyttelton Lord Se/borne, and Mr. Austen Chamberlain for their open Alli- ance 'with Chambetl inisni and the question is whether Sir Micheal Maks- Beaeb, afr. Goseben and other Minister- ialist free traders hate or have not any faith left in Mr. Patlibur's ihdependence. Some uncomprising members of the party are tasking frantic appeals to thecae free traders to vote straight against the Governmente but the elec- toral ill sueenes of Mr. Gainiberleina policy undoubtedly encourage!. the Unionist free treders eta free focelers to cottanue tbe fight in their mint party rather than appeal inuneiliately to the country. Their hope is that if Mn Bal- four can be kept in office for a few moeiths longer, Mt.
