LONDON, August 14.-If Mr.. Balfour
had not obtained the assent OF the lead
ing members of the cabinet to his Irish
local government bill before announcing
it, a rupture in the government and
split in the party would have been ineV-
liable. The draft OF the OIL mas

stituted cabinet council. a com,
mittee of the cabinet, consisting Oh
Mr.. Balfour, Mr.. Goschen, Lord ASH
bourne and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach

ceptance of the measure by the Lloerai
Unionists Is distortion OF the truth.
The report OF the labor department.
of the board of trade is now watched
with keen interest. In connection Win
the Mckinley law the report says:

condition. The demand has fallen OH

iron and steel trades. In spite Of the
shrinkage of trade in iron and steei
prices have remained steady rms IS
due to the fact that raw materials have
remained high when compared with
other periods of decreasing trade. Coal
continues to be maintained on high
level. This is partly due to the gooo
wages paid colliers whose power OF COM
bining prevents the lowering OF wages
restricts the output and thus maintains
prices"

him murmuring prayer. Johnstone
was forced TO let 60, and sailor VINO

Dusing, relieving Johnstone. AS quick
