LONDON, oct 21.--Parliament will
reassenble next Tuesday with two
vexatious controversies before II. and
thi meeting promises to attract re-
newed attention to public questions.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the
premier, has returned to town after a
wife, who died at Marienbad last sum-
mer
He intends to resume active direction
OF parliamentary affairs. A meeting Of
the cabinet has been called for tomor-
row, after which the premier will have
an audience with King Edward and
the work of the session will be definite
ly determined.
Joseph Chamberlain's recent illness
promises to remove him temporarily
from the galaxy of bold and brilliant
parliamentary orators, but he sends
word that his ndisposition will be of
but brief duration and that he expects
to return before long and continue his
tariff propaganda.
There has been some talk that A.
J. Balfour will give place to another
leader of the opposition, but In spite
of this the Indications are that Mr..
Balfour will continue at his old place
with Lord Lansdowne directing the OPP
position forces in the house Of lords
1t is not likely that the government
will initiate any Legislation beyond that
foreshadowed in the kings speech, to-
gether with that which was left over
from the spring sitting.
Two Conflicts Expected
The session which begins Tuesday
will be marked by two conflicts, one
being in the house of lords and the
house of commons over the education
bill, and the other between the govern
ment and labor party over the work.
mems compensation bill.
During the recess now coming to a
close the socialistic wing of the labor
party has opposed the governments
candidate and the political measure is
considered something of test of the
governments ability to hold the sup
port 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 APP
peal to the country, as the two houses
are apparently irreconciliable over the
measure.
Lord Ampthll, Liberal Unionist. and
Lord Heneage, Liberal, nave given
notice of amendments completely alter
ing the character of the bill as regards
religious Instruction as passed by the
house of commons
The house of lords shows little dis
position to yield to the lower house
and the main purpose of the bill,
that of giving the country better ed
vocational system, is for the time being
forgotten in the intensity Of the strife
between the two houses.
SIumbering Volcano
The Irish question is a slumbering
volcano which may break out at any
moment, but there is believed to be
tacit understanding that 1t will go
over to the next session for full dis
cussion.
1t is believed, however that James
Bryce, chief secretary for Ireland, may
before adjournment disclose the gov
ernments proposals concerning ireland.
although it is considered more likely
that the government will prefer to post
pone agitation by putting off a dec
laration Of its Irish policy until the last
moment. In the meantime the Irish
leaders, notably John Redmond here
and T. P. O'Conner in the United States,
are indicating that the governments
