TIE GRIMES ACT.


LONDON, May 3l.-Sir Charles
Dixie, the troublesome Radical and the
head and front OF the rebellion against
the renewal OF the crimes act, has not,

belled against the renewal and sue
ceeded In splitting the cabinet on the
question, the premier managed. II Is

undoubtedly be IA bachdown on the
part OF the government, which will
probably get out of its dilemma by In
Producing IA harmless bill to remain in
force about year.
