They Did Not Take "a Holiday Yester-
day rs Usual.

A most unusual occurrence was the meet
ing yesterday OF the British house of COM
mons. In the memory of the oldest men,
bers. parliament has always adjourned over
New Year day until yesterday. when. in
stead of enjoying a holiday. the house of
commons was hard at work attempting to
clear away some of the great mass of legis-
lative business
The matter of the warship Resolution,
which was damaged in a gale in the Bay of
Biscay, and which is now at Davenport re-
pairing. was again brought up in the house
by Messrs. f3owles and Forwood, who de-
sired information to the facts in the
case.
Mr.. Bowles asked If the admiralty could
now state how many degrees the Resolution
had rolled. He would also like to know
whether she had rolled her rails under, how
many feet of water was in the engine room.
and If, during December 10 and ~, she was
kept head to the sea because the attempt to
bear up and run back would have involved
the risk of capsizing.
MIR. Forwocd asked what coal the Resolu-
ton had ON board when she left port and
did the danger the ship was in Justify her
captain in returning.
Sir JameS-kay Shuttleworth, parliament
tary secretary of the admiralty, said that
the captain report 10 the admiralty was
to the effect that he had put back To
Queenstown in the exercise of his discre-
ton. The main reason for his putting back
was his anxiety regarding his supply of
coal. The Resolution had IS1 tons OF coal
in her bunkers when she started on her
voyage. Running at the rate of ten knots
an hour, she would have consumed 80 tons
in fair weather between the point at which
she turned back and Gibraltar, her destina-
ton. No injury had been done to the struc-
ture of the ship.
The secretary said that the statements as
TO the amount of water shipped were exag-
gerated. The ship had been kept head on to
the sea in order to diminish her rolling
MIR. Robert Hamburg, an independent con-
servative. asked: Does the secretary to the
admiralty think that it is to the public in
tere5t that he should not furnish the details
in regard to the Resolution
This question was greeted with cheers by
the conservatives and the speaker was at
last compelled to call the house to order
