HEIR TO PEERAGE
SHOWN THE DOOR.
Young Man Who Married Glib.
son. Show Girl Is Ordered
from Ancestral Home.
Journal Special Service.

London, Oct. 22.-Lord Henry Camp
bell Aberdare has shown his only son
and heir, Henry Lyndhurst Bruce Aber-
dare, and his showgirl bride the door
of Longwood castle, the country seat of
the Aberdares for generations. The
son Of the proud house of Aberdare, a
future peer of the realm, has been told
never again to enter his ancestral home.
Lord Aberdare has expressed the most
poignant regret that he has not the
power to cut off the title.
and wedding Of Camille Clifford, the
"Gibson gill; by the heir to the peer
age Of Aberdare, came at midnight on
Saturday, after a thrilling automobile
ride Of 100 miles to Longwood castle,
during which TWO fainting fits by the
bride showed her fears Of the reception
she would receive. .>.-
If the heir to Aberdare had treas
ured a hope that the relentless opposi-
ton which his father had shown to his
marriage with Miss Clifford would melt
at sight of the bride, it must have fed
at the first glance at the angry face
Of the stern old baron. Noted for his
peppery temper, Lord Aberdare was
white with rage at the temerity of his
son in taking his stage bride to Long
wood castle on this midnight visit. But
young Aberdare stood his ground. He
met his father at the door Of the draw
ing room and at his side was the white
faced, trembling bride, shrinking from
the storm that she foresaw.
"Father, this is my bride. Will you
not welcome her. to Longwoodq' the
young man pleaded as he advanced.
Lord Aberdare is said to have stood
still, his face paling visibly and twitch-
ing as tho he could not control the
muscles. At last he found words. g..
"You dare to come here to me in
this manner9' he said. ''You have
once and take your bride with you. Do
not speak. Go!'
Without word the son and his bride
left the castle.

King Edward Makes Ready for
Probably Interesting Session
of Parliament.

London, Oct 22.-King Edward held
8 council at. Buckingham palace at noon
4 today for the transaction OF state bust
ness referring to tomorrow reopening
Of parliament. The premier, Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman,. was! subsequently,
received in audience by his majesty
According to the Morning Post, the
close of the autumn or the beginning
Of the next session of parliament is
likely to see important changes in the
cabinet. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man, the premier, probably will be
raised to the peerage and will lead the
liberals in the house of lords, remain
ing, however, as premier. This would
enable the aged marquis of Ripon to
retire as liberal leader in the house of
lords, and H. H. Asquith would become
liberal leader in the house of commons.
Chief Secretary for Ireland Boyce is
also expected to go to the house Of
lords, succeeding the marquis Of Ripon
as lord of the privy seal, and Winston
Spencer Churchill will enter the cabi-
net as chief secretary for Ireland, to
carry out the devolution policy.
Two Conflicts.
The session which begins Tuesday
will be marked by two conflicts, one
between the house of lords and the
house Of commons over the educational
bill, and the other between the govern
ment and the labor party over the work
men s compensation bill.
The controversy between the house
Of lords and the house of commons over
the educational bill may lead to serious
consequences, and possibly cause an APP
peal to the country, as the two houses
are apparently 1rreconcilable over the
measure.
The Irish Question.
The Irish question is a slumbering
volcano which may break out at any
moment. but there is believed to be a
tacit understanding that it will 90 over
to the next session for full discussion.

Bryce, chief secretary for Ireland, may,
before the adjournment, disclose the

French Watch Situation.

Paris, Oct. 22.-The leading French
fnanciers are ,keenly watching the
monetary situation abroad. The po-
sition Of Paris is fairly good and the
prevailing impression is that the Bank
of France will not hurt French inter
ests by raising it's discount rate. At
the same time, while it is considered
possible that the Bank of France may
make moderate loan Of gold to the
Bank Of England to relieve the condi-
tions there, it would, it is asserted, re-
sist Withdrawals of gold for America.
An international banker expressed the
opinion to the Associated Press today
that the United States would not get
much more gold here, as the bank would
block any attempts in that direction,
not by raising the discount rate, but
by exercising its option to pay in sill
yer. :
No Gold for Speculation.
The banker said that he expressed
the view of French bankers in saying
the United States had sufficient funds
for the legitimate requirements of
trade and that there was no reason
why Europe should help to finance the
speculative movement in New York.
