n1-Ty CLAUSES SIR WILLIAM HARCoURT TO
RErIRE-ANTI-GAMBLING LEAGUE-czARE-
wITcH-MrsrCAL AND DRAMATIC
| London June 23-Thc last critical debate OF
the present session OF Parliament will take place
on Tuesday. when the spirit ana peer uu'S
clauses Of the Budget come up for discussion
The occasion is deemed vitality important that
the Conservative whips positively refuse to ac-
cept any pairs and insist that the members OF
the party shall be present in full force. The
members Of the Ministerial party. including the
Ministers themselves are uneasy in regard to the
i result Of the division. owing 10 the feeling OF DIS
affection which pervadcs the ranks Of the rep
resentatiycs OF trade interests in the House OF
Commons and the almost certain detection OF
those Liberals whose business interests are at
stake In a division on the clauses the Govern
ment majority threatens to dwindle TO five.
Tho Opposition do not expect absolutely to de-
feat the Ministry, but rather aim 10 reduce their
majority to the minimum Even If the Govern
ment should be defeated however. 1t would not
imply resignation on their part The beer and
spirit clauses could be dropped and an increase
made In the income tax proposals sufficient to
cover the deficit and in the event OF their de-
feat this course will probably be followed.
The persistent rumors that Sir william Har
| court has arranged with the leaders OF the OPP
| position to wind up the session on certain terms
| are the verlest nonsense. Sir William retains
perfect freedom Of action. and never permits him
self TO show his whole hand All sides are be-
| ginning to recognize the fact that he is far
| more skilful tactclan than anybody supposed
! he was.

William Harcourt Is now likely 10 succeed I'm
getting the Registration and Evcted Tenants
bills through before the close u the session His
retirement from the leadership Of the House OF
/ Commons at the end OF the session is absolutely
| definite The cause Of his withdrawal Is not
poor health for he looks vigorous as a man
/ II forty. and his cycsght which has been bad
| has Of late improved greatly. There num-
! bcrless conflicting rumors as 10 his reasons for
determining 10 retire but the most probable
| reason is that he has become dissatisfied with
his relations with his colleagues. lie wants
supreme control and his lmperious manners
have frequently wounded the feelings ~ his as
soclai.s who assumed - advise him. lie de-
slres dissolution u Parliament Immediately
after the passage - tho Budget ana the Regis
tratl1n bill Iiis iutmates assert that he IL re-
solved to bring about dissolution In accordance
with his wishes and declare that his intention
% retire will be carried out II his colleagues do
not agree to a dissolution In the autumn.
The McCarthyi,cs. on the other hand. are en-
deavorng to stave OF n dissolution until their
funds are in better shape. The report that
rs 900 has been realized as a campaign fund Is
untrue The total amount hand yesterday
was only ~ 800 and this gum included the H.
