PLANS For PARLIAMENT.
An Autumn Session Now Considered
a Certainty.

a Certainty.
London, July 22.-It is now evident that
the government intends to hold an au-
tumn session. AS regards the present
session, it is believed that when the min
isters realize how the obstructionists will
protract the discussion Of the estimates,
they viii either postpone prOrogatiOn or
cut the holidays short. The Unionists
are very reticent Just now as TO their
plan 10 drive the government by obstruc-
ton to premature dissolution. Although
they refuse to talk, however, they are as
pugnacious as ever. They are arranging
for pairs during the period between
now and Aug. 8. After the latter date
they viii begin taking vacations in
patches Of sixty Gibson Bowles, the
champion tory amender, has increased
the list of his motions on the votes Of tho
estimates TO an even hundred. Some sew
enty or eighty other uuionists have de-
clared their intention TO assist him in
this plan Of obstruction Mr.. Bowles'
most enthusiastic supporter, Robert
Handiruy. conservative for Preston is
trying his best ut present to equal his
friends record in giving notices of amend
ments.
GOING OFF FOR REST,
When the home rule bill shall have
passed third reading Messrs Balfour and
Goschen will probably leave town for a
rest, leaving Sir John Gorst, financial
secretary of the treasury under the last
Salisbury administration, TO lead the OBJ
structive campaign against estima tes.
Mr. Balfour has been greatly fatigued by
his incessant work as the unionist leader,
and his friends insist that he must re-
cuperate before joining in a second cru
SADIE against the government
Mr.. GOschen, although he has not
borne the blunt Of the battle, Is suffering
hardly less than Mr. Balfour from over
work. Curiously enough while these
younger men are breaking down under
the strain OF endless debate and divisions,
the grand old man, who has had twice
the burdens of any, shows hardly any
symptoms of fatigue. BY the advice of
friends, however he probably will take n
short vacation soon, preparatory to push
ing along the estimates with his usual
vigOr.
HOPE oE TIE GOVERNMENT.
In ministerial circles the hope is that
the home rule bill will go TO the House OF
Lords in the fourth week of August and
that the supply will be disposed of in
time to render possible adjournment about
the middle of September. This calcula-
tion is based on an assumption that
the government will not spare closure,
will end second reading Sept.
16 or II, and compress into two or three
sittings the debate on third reading The
radicals and younger liberals are opposed
TO an autumn session and are seeking to
persuade the ministers to prorogue par
lament after the supply until Decem-
Der. Urgent whips have been is
sued in the House of Lords to re-
mind the members that a full attendance
must he had late in August for discussion
and vote on the home rule bill. 1t is I'M
certain how long the debate will last.
The general opinion is that the bill be
discussed daily until midnight for one
week The lords are expected TO reject
the bill by vote Of about ten to one The
minority win number hardly more than
forty-two The Marquis Of Londonderry
will move the rejection Of the bill
