Question-A Division that II Likely to Can
Out the Largest Vote Known for Years.

LoSDoN, Jan. 20 The vote OF supplement-
airy estimates has NOW bYcoinc purely n party
question. and the Liberals will contest II as
such. and accept the result of the division as
decisive Tho Governments position In the
division Is weakened by tacking the vote OF con-
fdcnce to the question OF supplies. because
many Liberals who might not be willing to re-
fuse supplies will not hesitate to oppose the
Cabinet on tho party question. On the other
hand. the Governments Eastern policy will be
strengthened by decided majority to such an
extent that fear Is already aNprcsscd in some
quarters that the Cabinet will take n hostile at
titudc. even at the risk Of forcing Lord Derby's
resignation Of the Foreign Sccretaryship. Lord

cupatlOn Of Consiantlnoplo would not be n
breach OF neutrality. very strongly intmated

sian occupation OF Constantinopc would fur
nish no ground for British interference.
