A SCRAMBLE FOR PLACES.
Commons Are Sore Because They
Were Not Provided for in
House of Lords.

London Feb 13.-The Withholding of
the forecast of the speech from the throne
and the action of the lord chamberlain
in allowing peeresses to monopoliEe all
the space in the House of Lords, to the
exclusion of members of the House of
Commons, have caused much irritation.
This is regarded as a matter affecting
Parliamentary privilege and an early OPP
portunity will be taken to draw attention
to the grievance in both houses. There
will almost certainly be an unseemly
scramble on the part of 500 commoners
who will follow the black rods summons
to the upper house to get into the front
row and thus to secure a chance to enter
the gilded chamber. In antic patton of
this rush a double Gordon of police has
been ordered to attend and keep order.
No more than 200 can possibly gain admis
sion.
Outlining the probable subjects for
mention in the Kings speech, the Stand
ard mentions the Nicaragua canal, the
French shore, the new civil list, the
South African war and army reform.
The disposition of the leaders of the OPP
position is to discourage amendments
that would raise d definite issue regard
ing the South African war, but the atti-
tude of the radicals or Irish may force
their hand

Washington, Feb. 13-The Secretary of
the Treasury to-day made reply to the

las gross tons
The commissioner says there is no le-
gal obstacle to any of these coastwise
vessels of more than 30 tons entering the
foreign trade, but that the length of the
canal locks would prevent many of the
larger of the vessels of the great lakes
from passing to the sea. The number of
American vessels in the foreign trade ELI
gible to subsidies under the bill is pla ed
at 1881, of which 964 are sailing vessels.
The commissioner says it is not prac-
ticable to say whether all these vessels
have complied with the requirements that
would entitle them to subsidies.
1t is also stated by the commissioner
that the amendment Of the bill relating
to the additional subsidies to be paid to
20 and p knot vessels will have the effect
of reducing the subsidies payable on voy-
ages of the st. Louis, St. Paul Paris and
