LONDON TO BE DIVIDED.
Fifteen municipalities Outside the
irea of the Metropolis.

London. Feb Pin the House of Com
mons yesterday Mr.. Arthur J. Balfour,
First Lord of the Treasury, and Govern
ment leader in the House introduced the
London municipalities bill. the principal
measure of the session. The bill divides
the metropolis OF London into fifteen muni-
cipalities, each electing a mayor, council
lors, and aldermen. with full local powers
The area of the metropolis. known as the
City Of London. under the jurisdiction of
the Lord Mayor and Common Council, is
not touched by this measure, which deals
exclusively with the territory embraced
by the administrative county of London.
The new bodies will have the same pow
ers as are now possessed by the great
provincial municipalities of England and
will not be connected with the London
county council, the governing body of the
administrative county. This council in FIJI
ture will deal only with matters OF general
metropolitan concern.
Mr. Balfour, in presenting the measure
said the government was convinced that
the plan proposed was the only one for
dealing effectively with such an enormous
aggregation of humanity as the population
of the metropolis II was hoped by the
government, he added, that the new bodies
might be launched in November of next
year.

The opera house was not crowd

vaudeville specialties and its. re-
production of the Jeffries-Fitzsim-

prising in the fact that it was free
from vulgarity and base suggest
lveness, contrary to the expecta-
tions of many. Next to the fight
itself the illustrated songs proved
the most popular feature, although
the juggler, the serpentine dancer,
the Dutch comedians and the con
tortionist were all good. The re-
production of the fight was pro-
nounced very good by everyone.

Matters, however, of peculiar
interest in connection with the en-
tertainment of the Grand Lodge
were discussed and it developed
that the greatest question that con-
