British Parliament Has
vexatious Questions.
Two Conflicts Expected IN Ses-
sion Which Opens Tuesday.
Brsach Between Houses on The Education
Bill Seems IIecoaciIahIs.

London, Oct 21.--Parliament will as
semblc next Tuesday with two vexat-
ious controversies before it, and the
meeting promises to attract renewed
attention to public questions. Sir
Henry Campbell Zimmerman. the
premier, has returned to town after a
long rest, and intends to resume the
active direction Of Parliamentary az
fairs.
A meeting Of the cabinet has been
called for tomorrow afternoon. when
the premier will have an audience with
KING Edward, and the work Of the
session will be definitely determined.
Joseph Chamberlains recent Illness
promises to remove him temporarily
from the galaxy of bold and brilliant
Parliamentary orators, but he sends
word that his indisposition will be az
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 lead
er of the opposition, but in spite OF
this the indications are that Mr.. Bal
four will continue in his old place, with
Lord Lansdowne directing the OPP
position forces in the House Of Lords.
The session which begins 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 ard the Labor party over the
workmen's compensation bill. During
the recess now coming to a cloRe. the
SOcialistic wing of the Labor party has
opposed the governments candidates.
and the present measure Is considered
something of a test Of the governments
ability to hold the support of the La
Dor members Of the House.
The controversy between the House
of Lords and the House of Commons
over the education bill may lead to Sc
rious consequences and possibly cause
an appeal to the country as the two
houses are apparently irreconcilable
over the measure.
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 go over
to tie next session for full discussion.
but it is believed however, that James
Brica. chief secretary for Ireland. may.
before the adjournment. disclose the
governments proposals concerning Ire
land. although tits considered more
likely that the government will prefer
to postpone agitation by putting off
declaration of its Irish policy until the
last moment. In the meantime the Irish
leaders, notably John Redmond here
and 4. +. O'Connor in the United
States. are indicating that the govern
ment's concession Of anything short OF
complete home rule will be unaccepta-
BILE to the Irish party.
