London, Feb. SIN the ultimate di-
vision of the House of Commons to-
day, on Mr.. Robson's amendment to
the address, the government had a
majority of sc, the vote being 1872 for,
and 27S against the amendment.
In the debate, Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman said that when Mr.. Cham
berlain interviewed him June 20. 1899,
prior to the Boer War,and asked him if
the opposition would support the govern
ment in sending out 10000 troops to
Cape Colony, he, Sir Henry, express
ed surprise, whereupon Mr.. Chamber
lain said:
you need not be alarmed. There
will be no fighting. We know those
fellows won't fight. We are playing
a game of bluff
The statement of SIR Henry was
greeted with roars of laughter from the
opposition benches.
Mr.. Chamberlain, in reply, said he
did not remember using the word
bluff" His only object in approach
ing Sir Henry was to make sure the
South African question should not be
treated in a party spirit, so that the
Beers might be convinced of the ear
nestness of Great Britain.

first time, the extraordinary public In
terest in talking birds, and also the
capriciousness of the familiar gray
parrots, which, although known to be
the best takers, require patience in
those who want to hear them speak in
company. Other parrots of less repute
are often less shy, and sometimes speak
as well, though undoubtedly intellec-
tuaI ability is far more general among
the gray birds. 1 remember, some ten
years ago, seeing at bird show at
Oxford a specimen of the common
green ring-necked parrakeet or India,
which continually talked during the
exhibition.
Its voice was high and thin; but it's

Zoo, used to say Come on, Cockyi"

while her mate never said a word. In

native green parrakeet which must

1t is a far cry, indeed, from ancient
Rome to modern New Zealand, but
from the latter country comes an an
ecdote of a political bird whose utter

The trouble at the shops of the
Brunswick and Birmingham Railroad
was caused by two of the boiler maxi
ers being reprimanded by Supt. Nc
Allister. The superintendent complain
ed that the boiler makers were not
doing enough work, whereupon they
asked for their time.
Seven of the machinists learned Of
the trouble and they also walked out.
Mr.. McAllister claims that the boiler
makers informed the machinists that
he had also stated that they were not
doing sufficient work, which he claims
to be untrue. The two boiler makers,
however, deny this story, and state
that they did not say a word to the
machinists.
A meeting is being held tonight at
the office of General Manager Berry,
and it is believed that the matter will
be amicably settled.
