GOVERNMENT VICTORIOUS.

Ii Il. Asquith' samendment to the re-
ply to the speech from the throne was
defeated in the British House of Com
mons last night by vote of 3ll to 24S.
This amendment declared THAT the
various aspects of the fiscal question
have been fully discussed in the country
Tor nearly two years, and that the time
has come for submitting the question to
the people without futber delay" The
majority of sixty-three by which the
amendment was rejected is regarded rs
giving the government the first move in
the political game and as finally dispos-
ing of any present prospect of dissolu.
ton of parliament.
The real event Of the nights debate
was the brilliant speech delivered by
Lord Hugh Cecil, which is admitted by
both friends ami opponents to have been
his finest oratorical effort and one Of the
best speeches delivered in the House Of
Commons since the Gladstone. Salisbury
period, and as placing Lord Hugh Cecil
in the forefront Of possible leaders of the
conservative party.
Lord Hugh Cecil is the leader of the
conservative free traders, and the liber-
ais had placed their hopes in him to
turn out the government. He disillu-
stoned them by contending that the free
trade cause would gain by keeping the
present government in Office still longer,
and, while he mercilessIy pulled to
pieces his cousin Balfour's ambiguous
attitude on fiscal questions, he declined
TO vote for the Asquitb amendment.
The majority Of conservative free traders
will follow Lord Hugh Cecil's lead, and,
apart from the possibility of some unex-
pected snap division, the governments
position is considered safe.

and knocking her insensible.
The negro then tied her to a sofa.
H. put rope around her arms and
body aud then robbed the house. When
the negro came back to the room where
Mrs. Birkitt lay, be attempted to ravish
her, but she had succeeded in getting
her hands free and fought him for
while, but blow on the head knocked
her unconscious.
The negro then fled with his booty.
Mr.. Birkitt returned home soon after the
negro had left and releasing Mrs. Birkitt
he rode to Burlington for assistance. A
posse is now being organized to hunt for
the robber.

OF members of the commission have cem-,
bined to serve notice that no bill can
pass that body which will provide for
either the abolition or the reduction Of
the commission. Accordingly the bill
reported Yesterday from the Senate COM
mittee on interoceanic canals, while fol-
lowing closely the lines OF the bill ap-
proved by the President and passed the

Admiral Walker and his colleagues. If
the bill passes in this shape it will result

in favor of the plan deemed essential by
Secretary Taft in order to ensure the
prosecution OF the canal work without
the delays and scandals which disgraced
the French regime.
Before the Cabinet meeting today Speaker
Cannon, Senator Allison and Representatives
Tawney and WadswOrfh had a conference
