Extra Session Of Parliament Likely
to be short-A tragedy
in Paris.
London, Nov. 19.-The increasing FREE
quency of Lord Rosebery's public ut
terances in no way decreases the thrill
of admiration and fascination which
follows on each occasion. The strange
mingling of common sense, sentiment,
surprising rhetoric and homely phrases
puzzle the people of Great Britain to
such an extent that the former premier
may we'll be said to ave gained more
power since he has been out of power
than he ever did before. His speech
at Glasgow on the occasion of his in
stallation as lord rector of the Glasgow
University caused the other n OF
the week to sink into insignificance. Yet
the underlying note of that wonderful
monograph Of the British empire was
one of warning, as the Daily Telegraph
appropriately describes it, as follows:
Nov that two nations at least, the
United States and Germany, are so close
at our back that their shadow falls in
front of US, and that they are in q more
athletic condition than ourselves. we
have no doubt that England has a re-
serve pace which our competitors
scarcely suspect. But we are very near
the time when we will have to put
forth the best OF our speed and stretch
every fibre
1t is Lord Rosebery's constant reiter-
alton of those features which makes his
words so deeply weighed by politicians
and business men in Great Britain.
With ~consummate skill he presents
both the weakness and strength of im-
perialism.
Yet. it seems unlikely that the former
liberal premier will merge from his po-
litical retirement. at any rate at pres
ent. His great antagonist, the philo-
sophie Lord Salisbury, has decided quite
unexpectedly to call an early session of
parliament and has consented TO ac-
celpt a salary of G2,000 for fulfilling his
duties as premier. tho, nomlnally, he
receives a recompsnse for so doing, for
the lord privy seal emoluments. which
We're abolished in 1854, are his. Lord
Salisbury, possibly, was not anxious to
receive any pay. but it vas thought to
be n bad precedent for a cabinet minis
ter to work for nothing. SO the salary
Ie5,p0M of lord prigy seal was revived
and is now his.
The first meeting pf parliament prom
ises To be short and is likely to be adj
journed over the nov year as soon as
the necessary supplies are secured.
One of the most serious questions of
the week has been church matters. The
archbishops and bishops met in solemn
Iconclave to consider privately any
controversial matters, the chief OF
which was whether the ritualist clergy
men refusing to obey the archbishop's
command should be prosecuted. AS q
result of the deliberations 1t is proba-
Bile that the obstinate ~ritualists will be
allowed to pursue the even tenor OF
their way, for the kensit party opposed
prospections on the ground that they
We're likely TO retard expected legisla-
ton, While the high church1nen We're
naturally opposed to n civil interfer-
Ince. The decision ayerts at least tenn
porarily what threatened to be a crisis
in the history of the Church of Eli
gland.
The controversy in the United States
regarding the proposed change of the
Americas cup course from Sandy Hook
to off Newport, r. L., a only be set
tied in n way, according to Sir Thorn
as Lipton's idea, that is, by sticking tt
the old order Of things. He said TO d
representative of the Associated Press;
II prefer Sandy Hook. / do not think
there is a better course in the world.

fact. Il have always spoken OF 1t in the
highest terms. The members of thu

certainly the best judges, n I an

When questioned regarding the cabi'
report that the Chicago packers wer,
getting their revenge for the Liptoi
pork deal by squeezing him, Sir Thoma'
Upton said:
There is no truth In the report. NJ.

isfactorily. Moreover, the Chicago deal

Mr.. Alfred Harmsworth and his VIII

Harmsworth is going across the Allan

his time fishing in California.
The British specials giving descrip
lions of the Morgan-Satterlee weddinI
are almost entirely devoted to its pc
cuniary features, giving the impression
that it was a repetition OF the Bradley
Martin ball. AS a natural result, tn
London papers indulge in such ON
ment as this from the Westminster Ga
zette:
THE reputation OF Americans of
certain type for vulgar ostentatio!
seems to have been exceedingly wei
sustained at the wedding" and so on il
a similar strain.
Another curious piece of information
upon American matters is contained ii
the London Daily Telegraph's descrip
ton OF the society American woman Q

that when an American has made
fortune he finds 1t almost impossible I
