THE CREDIT VOTE.


London, Jan. 30.-The conservatives in
the house of commons are expected to give
solid support to the credit vote Thursday.
One or two defections are probable. The
liberals on the contrary are divided. There
will b. numerous absep!ecs, and some will
support the government. The home rulers
have not yet determined on their course.
Such, mainly the ultramontanes, will sup
port the government. The majority for the
credit is already estin mated over one hund
red.

immense majority. declaring that the cause
Of peace, and the interests of the empire
will be best promoted by supporting the
foreign policy Of the government. The
