ably certain. It may take long time
TO accomplish this result. however, as
the English people are proverbially con-
servative, and the opponents Of the estab-
lished system appear TO be almost hope
1essly divided.
Very few Americans certainly and
probably not "a large percentage Of the
queens subjects could concisely and ac-
curately explain the complex makeup
of the upper house of the United King
dom's parliament.
The parliament is the supreme legis-
lature of the United Kingdoms of Great
Britain and Ireland, and it consists of
the sovereign and the three estates of the
realm-the lords spiritual, the lords tenn
poral and the commons. The sovereign
does not now take part in the deibera-
lions of the parliament. The first two
estates make up the house of lords. which
Britain's constitutional government as
truly the real legislative power as Is the
house of commons now.
The Anglo-Saxon forerunner of the
house of lords was the witenagemot, or
national council, composed of eorls-
heads of villages-the kings gesiths and
thegns and the bishops and abbots. The
king was the presiding officer of this de-
Lucrative body. Crowds of people some
times gathered about the outskirts of its
meetings and shouted approval or dis
approval of it's decisions. but the wishes
of these crowds were not deferred to as
a matter of law, only as maker of cour-
tesy OR policy. In q certain sense their
occasional presence at the meetings of
the council was prophecy of the pres
ent commons.
The first use of the name parliament
occurred about the middle of the thir-
teenth century, when in 1916 during the
prevalence of q civil war, it was applied
to gathering of the barons, but it was
not until Jan. 20, 1865, that there was a
deliberative session Of both lords and
commons. This meeting was held in the
splendid hall at Westminster, which Is
still standing. The commons sat at the
bottom of the hall. They were not dis
posed to try to exercise any influence on
the deliberations. They had no vote,
ard they seem to have failed utterly Of
realizing the significance of their pres
ence as a component part of the assem-
blage. But insignificant as they were,
they were there to stay. Their influence
was TO grow and multiply, and now for
many years they have been the real leg
islative power of the United Kingdom.
The conquest of England by the Nor
mans checked but did not arrest the evo-
luton of parliament. The people them
selves, however, were slow TO take adj
vantage of their privileges. 1t was the
lords who did all the legislative business
The commons indeed were induced to
attend the meetings with the greatest

a body Of hereditary legislators Is Of
course an anomaly these days, especially
III so progressive government as that of
the United Kingdom. But still in the
minds OF some thoughtful men it has its
uses. Being composed of representatives
Of the classes, who fear that continued
progress Of the people may some time en-
tirely displace them, the house of lords Is
sure TO be opposed to all changes of any
moment. But It's veto power, the only one
authorized by the unwritten British con-
stitution, royalty having long ago re-
nounced the veto prerogative, may, like
the veto of the president of the United
States, be lawfully overriden by the pop
ular will, so that no real reform is likely
to be permanently prevented. And IL Is
neld that the delay which sometimes re-
suits can work no lasting harm. In view
Of all this, it is quite within the bounds
Of the probable that if the persons who
make up the upper house were possessed
of more character or were disposed to
give greater attention to the welfare Of
their country they might maintain their
branch of the legislature Indefinitely.
But as a matter of fact the personality
of the lords is the greatest menace to
their legislative existence.
For many years it has been the habit
of English caricaturists to represent men
of title as having sloping foreheads, rick

difficulty. 1t was not until the reign Of
Edward III that the advice and consent
of the commons, then composed of the
knights of the shire and the burgesses,
began to be recorded in the enacting part
Of every statute. 1t was long after this
that the present system of choosing the
members of the house of commons by
oallot came into vogue, but the house of
lords was even then virtually the same
as it is now-composedo of the lords spir-

ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY SPEAKING IN
THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
ETY. bodies and faces deeply marked with
dissipation or else as stupid, heavy rus
tics. Englishmen have laughed at these
caricatures without believing in them,
but when the Irish home rule bill was
passed by the commons in September
last and 400 peers, the largest number On
record, went up to London tovote against
it in the house of lords it was seen for
the first time by the people that the COM
ic artists are right-that the British peer
is a sorry fellow in the main, untitled by
mental endowment or special training
to make or obstruct the laws Of great
and busy nation. This is putting the
facts then found out by the British peO-
pie very mildly.
One observer described the throng of
peers as comparable only with the as
semblages that are to be found in jails
and almshouses and hospitals for the in
sane. The presence Of such intellectual
giants as Salisbury, ROsebery and Play
fair in this crowd of men notable for
what the same writer speaks of as 1.-The
senility of youth, the wreck of middle
life, the tottering imbecility of dissipat-
ed age, served but to furnish the con-
trast between hope and despair"
There is not space here to go into the
details of the previous conflicts between
| the lords and the commons, but some of
| the more important may be mentioned
| In every case the lords yielded or were
| coerced by the sovereign acting under
pressure from the people. This coercion
| has at times been effected by creating a
| sufficient number of peers favorable to
| the ground taken by the commons to
make majority Of the same mind in the
house of lords. Queen Anne did this
/ when the lords refused to assent to the
| treaty of peace signed at Utrecht, but 1t
was then necessary to create but dozen
new peers.
In 1882 King William " did the same
thing, the difference between the houses
| being over the reform bill which e4-
! tended the franchise to some hundreds Of
| thousands, abolished more than so rot
! ten borOughS" of a few dozen voters
each and simplifed the method of voting.
! But the king did not yield till he had
| been hooted in the street and the houses
! Of "a number of mobiles were burned. He
created 16 peers favorable to the bill, and
many who We're unfavorable 1efrained
from voting. In 1916 the houses dis
agreed over the corn laws, but the lords
finally yielded, as they also did in 1865
over the disestablishment Of the Irish
church, in 1881 on the Irish question and
in 1884 over enlargement of the franchise.
1t is worthy of note that IN 1884 it was
Joseph Chamberlain, now with the lords
in sentiment, who coerced them into
yielding to the commons.

HONOLULU, AprlI :, 1S94.j
There app caring to be some misunder-
standing as TO the effect of the oath TeQuir-
ed Of voters for delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention, it has been deemed
advisable that an authoritative statement
on the subject be made.
The following is correct statement OF
the intention Of the law:
The word "oppcse" in the form Of the
oath relates to the duties OF those taking
it, as voters and as delegates; the form
or binding themselves in voting for dele
gates to vote only for such persons as are
opposed to a re-establishment OF the
monarchy; and the latter as members OF
the Convention binding themselves to
work in the Convention against the intro
daction Of any provision in the new con-
stitution tending to a re-estabiishment
o. the Monarchy.
The word "resist" was in the first
draft Of the oath and was stricken out as
possibly misleading.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 31.-By the confession
of the real murderer, it is likely Andrew
Tath, George TuSnak and Michael Sabot,
serving life sentences for the murder Of
Michael Quinn, will be released on New
Year day.
In 1891, at the Edgar Thompson steel
works, at Braddock, strikers attacked the
works and in the battle Quinn, an engi
neer, was fatally injured. Tath, Rusnak
and Sabot were convicted Of Quinn'S
murder and sentenced to be hanged, but
later the sentences were committed to
life Imprisonment
A short time ago two HungarianS quar-
relied near Scranton and each had the
other arrested. One told the police that
the other was the murderer. The police
investigated and became convinced that
their story was true. Attorney Blakely

three degrees lower Reports from Titus

The orange and vegetable crops are
practically ruined. The best estimates
place the crop of oranges at present on
the trees at fully 26,OOO,OOO, and officials Of
the Florida Fruit exchange in this city
think that fully 100000 boxes have been
frozen, either wholly or in part. Ii this

the retiring governor, and his staff
will meet Governor Morton and
his staff in the Executive Chamber,
and the party will proceed to the
Assembly Chamber. There the
Rt. Rev. Croswell B. Deane, Episco-
pal Bishop Of Albany, will offer
prayer, and Governor Flower will
make the welcoming address to
the governor-elect. Mr.. Palmer,
the secretary Of State, will admin
lister the oath of office to Mr.. Nor

brief inaugural address. The
simple ceremonies will then close
with music by the band and the
benediction by the official clergy.
Mr.. Morton will then proceed to
the Executive Chamber, where he
will hold an informal reception for
the public for an hour. This eve

will receive the people of Albany
at the Executive Mansion.
Mrs. Morton will hold recep-
tion from 3 to 8 o'clock, and that
ceremony will be the beginning,
probably, of the most elaborate
series of social functions the Man
sion has seen for many a day. In
fact, the advent OF the Mortons is
expected to be the beginning Of the
liveliest social season the old Dutch
capital has had for years. Mr..

will probably be conducted &C.

Albany have been resting on their
oars all winter, in anticipation OF
the coming of the Mortons, which
marks the beginning Of festivities.
Governor Morton will be pref
ty busy man for few days. A
week ago Saturday he met all the
state officers at the capitol, from
whom he got material for his an

VANCOUVER, b. c., Dec 3l-The iden-
tity of Ashford, who murdered his wife
and children and attempted to take his
own life, December ed, has been partly
discovered by private papers. These
papers show that AShford's sister
is marchioness, her maiden name
being Elizabeth Flowers. Ashford's
real name is George Frederick Flow

the fact that Flowers family is possessed
of great wealth and the sister Of the muir
derer willed to Ethel Flowers, Ashford's
second daughter, a large estate In Eng
land She came into the estate on her
eighteenth birthday. This accounts for
AShford'S attempt to shoot every one OF
the children but Ethel Ashford dis
graced his family by a succession OF wild
Sprees and sQuandering his fortune. He
dropped his title, friends and old aSSoci-
ates and became a common soldier, marry
