He Says Their Position is tho Supreme
Question of the Hour.
London, JAN 21. - Lord Rosebery
laid in speech in Cardiff Friday even
ing that Welsh disestablishment would
be the first measure of the next Par
liamentary session. He did not doubt
that the established Church in Wales
was doomed, but everybody must re-
member that the House Of Lords pre-
sented q permanent barrier to the
measure on which the Welsh had set
their hearts. The position Of the
Lords was the supreme question of the
hour. When the Government resolu-

be submitted, it would involve the dis
solution of Parliament. Before the dis
solution, however, he wished Parlia-
ment to deal with the liquor traffic,
repr presentation of labor and the one
man-one-vote issue.
