ANGLO-RUSSIAN QUARREL.
Englishmen Withdraw From Czartna's
~. Petersburg Exhibition.

NDtClL { dOit DfsDHtN ~ I'm p'N'
LONDON, Feb. 25.-Some sensation has
been caused in Anglo-Russian trade circles
by the sudden withdrawal of Lord Avebury
and the Lord Mayor of London from sup
port of the exhibition of British arts and
industries, which has been arranged under
the patronage of the Czarina, to be held
at the Taurida Palace in ST. Petersburg
from June to September.
It is the intention TO apply the profits
TO building homes for the poor Of st. Peters
burg. Countess Schouvalof and other
influential Russian titled persons constitute
the Russian committee. The British COM
mittce includes many prominent persons.
The reasons Lord Avebury and the Lord
Mayor give for their action seem uncon-
vincing and would have been as operative
before they consented TO give their support
as now. The affair is regarded as mystic
rious.
There is supposed to be some connection
between il and the refusal just given by
a commission Of English ag~rioulturists
to visit st, Petersburg and Moscow as the
guests Of the Russian Agricultural Society.

LONDON, Feb. 2e.-Just before %adjourning
at midnight the Government was defeated
in the House Of Commons in a division
on a question that does not involve the
Governments stability, but tends to damage
it's prestige.
The subject under discussion was the
hours Of railway employees. Major Cecil
Norton, a Liberal. complained that certain
railway companies were not complying with
the law and were ~overworking their SER
wants, and he moved that the companies
be compelled 10 make returns every six
months with a view TO checking the practice.
Mr.. Gerald Balfour, President Of the
Board of Trade, on behalf OF the Govern
ment, declared against the motion as It
stood, although he was willing to accept 1t
in a modified form. The House divided
on Major Norton's motion, which was
adopted by a vote Of ISL TO ia, the Govern
ment being thus defeated by a majority
OF seven.
When the result was announced the OPP
position burst into uproarious cheers, the
Irish members being especially trium-
plant. An Irish wag awakened peals OF
laughter by shouting: A serious railway
accident"
The defeat was due to the slackness OF
some of the Ministerialists and the absten-
ton Of others from voting owing to their
sympathy with Major Norton's motion.
Many members condemn Mr.. Balfour's
handling OF the subject.
