BRITISH HOUSE OF CoMMoNs IN
CRISIS WITH GOVERNMENT.

LONDON, July 21.-The house of COM
mons sat barely half an hour today and
then adjourned until Monday to await the
governments decision regarding its future
course of action in view Of the defeat of
the ministry last night on John Redmond's 8
motion to reduce the vote for the Irish
land commission.
The house was packed in every part.
Much excitement was visible on all sides,
and there was disposition to view the de-
feat of the government as more serious
than it was generally regarded in the early
hours this morning. Immediately after the
house had assembled Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, the liberal leader. moved it's
adjournment, declaring that 1t would be
unseemly under the circumstances to pro-
ceed with business while the government
was considering its position.
Premier Balfour. however, declined to ad-
Journ the house until the bill dealing with
the differences of the Scottish United Free
passed. This was quickly accomplished,
the house rose and the excited members
swarmed into the lobbies eagerly discussing
the probable decision OF the cabinet whic h
has been summoned to meet this after
noon.
the view that the government will resign,
however, Is no; held in circles generally well
informed of the governments Intentions
and 1t is reiterated that the resignation of
the Balfour ministry is not likely in view of
the almost practical certainty that the gov
ernInent will be rehabilitated by its nor
mai majority the trial of strength,
July n, to which the opposition formally
challenged the ministry.
The unionist members of the house of
commons are busily signing a memorial to
the premier against either the resignation
of the government or the dissolution of
parliament. In the unionist centers like
the Carlton Club, It is confidently asserted
that Mr.. Balfour will stand or fall, accord
ing to the outcome of Mondays motion of
cenSure.
