cratic applause, and Republicans seemingly
did not care how he voted The question
recurred then on the motion TO suspend
the rules. and this was carried by party
vote, with the exception of Mr.. Howe. The
bill was read third time and passed by
practically the same vote. The way was
now clear for the passage of the appor-
tionment bill.
This bill went through the same routine.
The House voted TO act under the previous
question and to suspend the rules so the
bill would at once go through to passage
The bill was reported with several amend
ments, which the Democrats voted against,
and among the negative votes were recorded
the names of Mr.. Melendy, Mr. Garriott and
Mr.. Coates, who believed their counties
had not been treated rightly in the appor-

Forced Out of Power.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-There is much gossip
in political circles to-day owing to the fact
that Lord Rosebery the Prime Minister
on his arrival at the official residence in
Downing street this afternoon, hastily
summoned a meeting of the Cabinet. The
measures taken to summon the Ministers
were rather extraordinary. Messengers
were dispatched IN cabs to the offices or
residences of the different Ministers and all
came to the meeting, which lasted fully
an hour. The precarious condition of the
party as shown by the recent narrow ma
joritieS on various questions in the Com
mons and the fact that Lord Rosebery had
a long conference at Buckingham Palace
yeste rIlay afternoon With the Queen soon
after her arrival from the Isle of Wight
and held long conference with the whips
of the Liberal party to-day, all serve to
increase rumors that a dissolution of Parlia-
ment is imminent. For several minutes
last evening when the vote was being taken
on Sir William Harcourt's motion to close
debate the address in reply to the
by the members of the opposition that 1t
would be found that the government was
defeated when the vote was announced.
The crowded Hobbies of the house made it
impoSsible to ascertain how the voting was
going but when the division was nearly
over whisper was circulated that the
government was defeated. The loudness of
fbe cheers with which the Liberals greet
ed the announcement of the figures showed
the extent of their anxiety. which was ap-
parently we'll justified, as the vote was
279 to 21, giving them but eight majority.

been adapted from a French source by Mr..
