LORD SPENCER
will Form the New Cabinet
for King Edward.
Expected That Liberals Will Control
Next House Of Parliament.
title or No Chance for Government
to Save Itself.

London, Feb. 26.-The Associated
Press is in a position to declare that
there will be a dissolution of Parlia-
ment within six weeks, and If. as 1t Is
expected, the Liberals are returned to
power. King Edward will summon Lord
pencer Giberal leader in the House
of Lords) to form a cabinet.
Those who are best informed on po-
litical matters, including even many
persons in close touch with Joseph
Chamberlain, anticipate that the Lib
erals will not only win easily, but esti-
mate that their majority may be as
high as $50. The King and all promi-
nent politicians are fully aware of the
situation created by the irremediable
cleavage in the Unionists ranks by fis-
cal and other differences, and they are
all preparing for a speedy fall of the
government and a consequent general
election.
The governments majOrities have
been dwindling gradually ever since the
the commencement of the present ses-
sion of Parliament. A majority of 81
out of a nominal 100, or Whereabouts,
was all the government could muster
after a debate of one week on such an
important plank of its policy as the ifs
cal question. A similar small majority
saved the government from defeat on
the army question, while, last night, it
could only show a beggarly majority of
"A against an opposition amendment

navy vote.
Last nights narrow escape was not
very important, because it was some
what in the nature of snatch" vote.
but several such incidents make the
government position untenable. Such
large numbers of the governments
usual supporters have decided not to
stand for reelection, that they are in
different as to when the dissolution
occurs; and, in spite Of all the efforts
of the whips, it has been found impos-
sible to secure their regular attendance
On the other hand. the opposition
factions have been gradually healing

with the Liberals to turn out the gov

The resignation of the Duke of Dew

Debating at Colby.

In an attempt to revive the old de-
batting society at Colby the men have
gotten into an impromptu discussion
that is pretty nearly the real thing"
The sophomores tried to set the ball
rolling by challenging the juniors, but
the class declined and claimed that the
sophomores had no right to challenge.
This the sophomores deny and it has
been suggested that this be made the
first subject for the formal debate
when the two classes finally get to-
gether as it is now being threshed out
pretty thoroughly. The idea is to start
a series of inter-class debates and this
will probably be accomplished in time.
The following correspondence shows
what progress has been made thus far:
A CHALLENGE.
ITO the men of 1905:
1--WE, the men of 1906. do hereby
hallenge the men of 1905 to q Joint
debate.
''V. MERLE JONES
''CHAS. N. MEADER
FIRED E. HUTCHINS.
''Ex. Com. of the Glass;
REPLY.
ITO the Glass of 1906:
ientlemen: Your challenge of the
18th received and promptly brought
before the class by me. They wish me
to inform You that as yet they have
had no idea of putting a class debating
team into the field and if any future
time they wish to hold a joint debate
with the class Of 1906, they would
reserve the privilege which belongs to
them and which belongs to them alone.
that of being the challenging party.
Respectfully,
JOHN 3. PUGSLEY. Pres
"THOS. T. KNOWLES, Secy."
A reply to the challenge which was
written by member of the class.
A meeting of the Junior class was
held and after some discussion the
challenge was declined as the season is
SO late for the successful carrying out
OF an event of this kind. Another OBJ
lection was raised by some members of
the class that it was not a custom of
the college for a lower class to
challenge an upper class. Let the
sophomore class challenge the Fresh
men, and then the Juniors will follow.

- Coburn has been particularly fortu-
nate in securing Hon. Leslie c. Cor
nish of Augusta, as the orator for the
celebration Of the 18th anniversary
which will be celebrated in June Of
this year. Mr.. Cornish graduated
from Coburn in 1871 and from Colby in
1875. He served as trustee for Colby
for many years and for Coburn since
1901. His ability as a public speaker is
too we'll known in Maine and in New
England, for that matter, to need any
comment.

Rev. John M. Farley, archbishop Of
New York, and conversed with him for
a long time in the most cordial man.
ner. The archbishop having met the
pontiff two years ago at Venice and the
Pope remembering with satisfaction
the particulars of the meeting, their
conversation was carried on in Italian
Archbishop Farley presented the
Fontiff with a generous contribution of
Peters pence in a white velvet box
decorated with the Papal arms in gold.
The Pope thanked MIN kindly and in
quired about the archdiocese.
On hearing the number Of Catholics
in the archdiocese, the Pope remarked
that only Milan, Italy, has more Cath
olics than New York.
Archbishop Farley then presented a
letter from Cardinal Gibbons thanking
the Pope in the name of the trustees of
the Catholic University at Washington
for the letter issued Immediately after
he was created Pope indorsing the res
olution Of the trustees to have general
collections in the United States for the
benefit of the university, the first col
lections having totalled $4,000. The

progress by the university, expressed
the greatest sympathy with the peo-
pie of Baltimore.
Archbishop Farley introduced a
party Of Americans, among them For

Mr.. Low saying that he knew he was
not a Catholic but he was good
christian and gave each Of the visitors
his hand to kiss
me Pope afterwards addressed all
present, Archbishop Farley translating
MS remarks. The Pontiff said he
could not adequately express the graft
!lcatlon which he experienced at receiv-
ing Americans in the Vatican. Amer

greatness as nation and her generos-
ity as a people.
Inc Pope then gave the Americans
MS benediction and extended il to the
members of their families, adding:
inns blessing comes from a full heart"
"hiie tears came into his eyes, affect
ing those present, the Pope exclaimed:
must give you something" and began

ana other things. He finally discovered
some medals and gave a silver one to
each. He also gave gold and copper med
ais to Archbishop Farley and Mr.. Low.
