alleged deficit in his supply accounts.
But lit was, all the same, a vote OF
censure on the ministry. 1t was car
cried by a vote of 49, ito 125, AMID, un-
important as was the measure itself,
it so plainly showed the adverse tenn
per of the house and the inability OF
the government to rely upon the sup
port of its professed adherents that
Lord Rosebery was only toe willing

cheers. Mr.. Balfour followed and was
greeted with vigorous cheering from
! his supporters At $3.50 p. M. the
, chancellor of the eXchequer, Sir Will

house and the liberals rose in a body
and cheered to the echo. The sup
porters of Mr.. Chamberlain made a
similar demonStra ton when the union
list leader entered. Mr.. Harcourt said:
