London. June 9.--The approach OF the
first serious parliamentary brush IN
the free protection fight filled
every seat in the house of commons
this afternoon, Before facing the SIT
uatlon, which must largely place them
al the mercy Of the Liberal and irish
votes, the memoirs OF the government
attended an important cabinet meet

present except Gerald Bafour, presl-

dent Of the board Of agriculture and

turbance Of trade, and a serious loss
of revenue, without substantial relief

taxes are removed II should be those
levied on tea and other articles OF gem
eral consumption.
Before the debate opened Premier
Balfour ascertained from John Red
mond. the Irish leader, that the Ma
tionalist members Of parliament would
support the government, as against MI
Chaplain. The Liberal leader, Sir Hen
nv Campbell. Bannerman, has already

uphold the proposal Of Chancellor or
the EXchequer Richie to remit the
grain tax This practically ensured
the government from possible defeat
at the hands OF It's own supporters.
The curious situation created the keen
est interest 49,,
At the opening Of the sitting a little
excitement was caused by John Red
mond asking that a committee be APP
