LIBERALS LOSING SUPPORT.
ROsebery's Following In the House
of Commons DwindIinE Awny.


of Commons Dwindling Away.
LONDON, April 6.-The fate of the Rose
berry Cabinet is being warmly discussed in
political circles here. Last night the gov
ernment was defeated by a majority of one
ON a private bill, and the majorities on
other questions fell off eighteen to fifteen
votes. This is causing much excitement in
the political world, and it is freely predicted
that the government cannot last long. The
second reading OF the East London water
bill was opposed in the Commons by MIR.
Shaw-LefeVre, President of the Local Gov
ernment Board, on behalf of the government,
but the measure was carried in the face OF
vigorous efforts upon the part Of the whips
and many Of the McCarthyites were absent
from the division The Conservative press
comment joyfully upon the position of the
government, while the Liberal organs, such
as the Daily News and Westminster Ga
Zette, warn the Liberal party to be careful.
The Times says it is understood that at
yesterdays meeting of the Cabinet the
discussion was devoted to anxious consider
alton respecting the political outlook. After
the events of the week the ministers can
fact that disaster may overtake them at
any moment. The Radicals, feeling that
dissolution cannot long be delayed, will
insist upon q definite statement as TO the
governments policy In regard to the House
of Lords Inasmuch as the decision of the
government to demand the whole time of
the House on Tuesday was taken with the
full knowledge that the step would invoke a
protest from the Radicals, the belief is
freely expressed In the lobbieS of the Com
mons that Lord Rosebery Is riding for fall.
The Standard publishes a similar statement,
and says IT is believed that the opposition
would have no difficulty In forcing a crisis
IL II should suit their purpose to do so.

PondoInnd Annexed by Rritufn.

CAPETOWN, April 6.--The annexation of
Pondoland has been effected without firing
a shot. The chiefs and people of the newly
annexed country are quietly submitting.
This is another triumph for the so-called
imperial policy of the Hon. Cecil Rhodes.
the Premier of Cape Colony, and is a most
important addition to the British domain
In South Africa. For eight years past
Pondoland has been under an alleged pro-
tectorate which was the cause of consider
able friction. The country just annexed is
described as being one Of the most delight
full regions in the world. though il has been
the scene of considerable iawlessness and
many fierce tribal fights. Pondoland has
an area or about three hundred square
miles and native population of about 200 :
600. The white population is very small.

though Lord Rosebery does not read les

No one would claim Lord Rosebery as one

ed by the majority of the committee on
banking and currency to permit State and
local taxation of United States legal-tender
notes. The report says that the minority

power should not be conferred. These legal
tender notes are now exempt from taxa
ton by State and municipal authority
by express provision OF law and even If 1t
has not been provided by law that they
should be so exempt the courts OF the
country would undoubtedly hold that such

also made poll of the Democrats on the
5r,lte bank question. Mr.. Swansons poll
Slows not more than 129 Democrats favor
aDle to unconditional repeal. Thus far the
committee has been in a deadlock over a
number OF repeal bills, and the question has
been indefinitely tabled. The enlarged COM
mittee would have a repeal majority sufti-
eient to report a compromise bill. A third
proposition is for the committee on rules
to take charge OF the subject and arrange
for plan for getting the question before
the House. One OF these three plans VIII
be adopted. Speaker Crisps name is among
those signed to the request for the caucus
The other names included the leaders on
the Democratic side, amQno them Repre-
sentattveS CulbersOn, McMillin- Outhwaite,
Cox of Tennessee, Springer, Dockery and

that seven New York members-Cummings
Coombs. Dunphy. Clancy. Warner, Tracey
and Haines-have signed. 1t has been eX-
pressly stipulated in securing signatures
to the caucus petition, that members shall
not be bound by the action of the caucus
In some cases this condition has been at
tached TO the petition by the signers. Rep
resentative Swanson, who circulated the
petition says that it is fully understood
that the caucus is to be conference to-
ward securing a compromise, and not a
meeting binding on the Democratic ma

mission between the United States and Can

tenn of canals and waterways closely con-
Meeting the great lakes with the Atlantic
ocean. Mr. Simpson, who sailed the lakes
in his early days, proposes cut from the
Georgian bay the east shore of Lake
Huron through to Lake Ontario. This cut
could be made by way of Lake Simcoe and
other small lakes. so that the actual cut
would not be over one hundred miles. II
would save eight hundred miles of the
present route through the st. Clair and
Detroit rivers. the entire length Of Lake
Erie and the Welland canal IL would make
almost bee line from the upper lakes to

IL is also contemplated that joint action
be taken on improving the upper st. Law

City solicitor Eilfott's Position in Regard
to People Summoned From Their Daily
Work to Court.
In talking over the matter of paying
witnesses for attendance at municipal
court and also at the city justices courts,
City Solicitor George A. Elliott ex-
pressed himself to the following effect
Tuesday:
You see the matter stands in this
way--a warrant is sworn out for the
violation of State law and witnesses arc
summoned to the municipal court. The
case is perhaps heard and dismissed,
whatever its disposition may be. Now
the witnesses are workingmen who de-
pend wholly for their living on their
daily wage. They are obliged to attend
court. In many instances, in order to
hold their position, they have to pay a
man to hold their place for the day, as
they can seldom stay away for half or
even portion of that time. In that
case through the necessity of obeying
the summons of the court they lose u
days wages.
~ think it only just and right that
they be paid regular witness fee for
attendance at court. / think the same
action should apply to witnesses attend
ing squires' courts in the city. ~
Levy Court pays witness fees in the
superior and general sessions courts but
not in the lower courts. They are paid
in Kent, and think also in Sussex. l
don't think it reasonable to ask o man TO
lose his time or money whether the case
be sent up to tho higher court or moi"

being struck by train at Water and West

ing his weeks wages that he did not sec or
hear the train until it was only about foot
from him. A trainman and bystanders
yelled at him but he paid no attention
until the former attempted to kick him off
the track. He acted like he was almost
glued to the spot until the trainmen's foot
nearly touched him, when he ninibly
jumped backwards and escaped injury.

speed. Mr.. B!Sen is said to have had a

Of the society is to protect the weak, to
