the two houses
The Irish question is slumbering
volcano which may break out at any
moment, but there is believed to be a
tacit understanding that it will go
over to the next session for full dis
cussion. 1t is believed. however, that
James. Bryce. chief secretary for Ire
land. may before the adjournment dis
close the governments proposals con-
corning Ireland. although it is con-
sidered more likely that the govern
ment will prefer to postpone agita-
ton by putting off a declaration Of its
Irish policy until the last moment. In
the meantime the Irish leaders, nota-
bly, John Redmond here. and T. P.
O'Connor in the United States, are in
dicating that the governments con-
cession of anything short of complete
home rule will be unacceptable to the
Irish party.
The merchants shipping bill will
come up before Christmas and the
matter of the Transvaal constitution
also will receive further attention. The
indications are, therefore, that the
coming session will be full of activity
and contention.

IRISH BILL UMBER/NG
VOL ANO IN PARL LAMENT

The session which began Tuesday
will be marked by two conflicts, one be-
tween the house of lords and the
house of commons over the education
bill and the other between the govern
ment and the labor party over the
workmen's compensation bill. During
the recess now ended the socialistic
wing of the labor party has opposed
the governments candidates, and the
present measure is considered some
thing of Il test OF the governments
ability to hold the support OF the labor
members of the house of commons.
The controversy between the house
OF lords and the house of commons
over the education bill may lead to
serious consequences and possibly
cause an appeal to the country as the
two houses are apparently irrecon-
cilable over the measure.
Lord Ampthill. liberal unionists. and
Lord Heneage, liberal. have given no.
tice of amendments completely alter

matter of religious instruction as

London, Oct 24.-Parliament has
reassembled with two vexations con-
troversies before it and the meeting
promises to attract renewed attention
to public questions. Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman. the premier, has re-
turned to town after long rest fol-
lowing the death of his wife, who
died at Marienbad last summer. He
intends to resume the active direc-
ton of parliamentary affairs.
Joseph Chamberlain's recent illness
promises to remove him temporarily
from the galaxy of bold and brilliant
parliamentary orators, bit he sends
word that his indisposition will be OF
but brief duration and that he en-

There has been some talk that A. J.

leader of the opposition, but in spite
of this the indications are that MI.
Balfour will continue in his old place,
with Lord Lansdowne directing the
OPPOSITION forces in the house of lords.

country. numbering more than all
other co!ored religious bodies put to-
gether. The first effort to enlist the
colored Baptists of the country in edu-
cational and missionary work was in
the New England Baptist convention,
but owing to the name and the mar
row limits to which 1t was bound, 1t
met with encouragement, and, finally,
failure. The consolidated convention
OF the western states and territories
endeavored to organize the colorei
Baptists into one large organization,
but this. too, failed, for reasons SINH

of the New England convention. 1t
was not until the year 1887 that a per-
manent organization was perfected.
