Grafton.

London, April 1.-THE house of com
mons reassembled today after the Eas-
ter recess.
In anticipation of the opposition
moving an adjournment in order to
call attention to the bloodshed in Thi-
bet an urgent whip was sent out by
the government supporters. Premier
Balfour, however, headed off the oppo-
sition's action by himself referring 10
the matter. He said that since the re-
cess began there had been an action in
Thibet which made it necessary in az
cOrdance with the statute to ask the
house to sanction the employment Of
Indian troops beyond the frontier. The
premier thought there should be no
delay in the discussion and therefore
he would introduce a resolution to this
effect tomorrow.
