MAJORITY WAS SMALL.
Only Forty-five Votes to Spare for the
British Government.

British Government.
London, Feb. 19.-The first division
In the First parliament of King Ed
ward VII, which took place during the
day, resulted in cutting down to As
the governments normal majority of
100. The interest caused by this un-
expected event was heightened by
Winston Spencer Churchill's first
speech at Westminster and by Mr..
Chamberlain's heated defense Of his
own policy.
The extraordinary slimness Of the
majority Of this strongest British gov
ernment of modern times was the re-
suit Of Lord Cranborne's refusal to
answer questions relating to the gov
ernment's foreign policy without pre-
vious notice from the questioners. Mr..
John Dillon seized the opportunity,
and, in spite Of an unusually large at
tendance, almost placed the Conserva-
tive party in Queer street.

The Mayville public library was
thrown open to the public last week.
That little city can boast of the only
public library building in the state

much larger cities might justly feel
proud. The city has been in the en-

time, but it is only now that the new
