OF the present occupation of Cuba. and
Mr.. Warren said there had been no esti-
mate from the department for additional
expenses on account of Cuban occupation
appropriations for 1905. The inquiry led
to a general discussion OF the status of
Cuba. after which Senator Cullom was
called upon for q statement as to how
long the United States intended TO re-
main in Cuba. The senator said he had
no information on the subject.
Senator Bacon said he had not been sat

playing in shaping the governments Gu

that it was for the law-making and not
the executive department to say what

Irish Question Also.

The Irish question also is likely to oC-
cupy the attention of the session. as the
government is about ready 10 submit
the proposed reform measure. Although
it's terms are withheld. it is believed
that It will follow the lines of the de-
volution bill. giving Ireland a certain
amount of authority to frame measures
relating to her own interests, subject
to- the supervision Of the imperial au-
tborities. However Timothy NJ. Healy
and other Irish leaders do not expect
immediate results owing to the oppo-
sition OF the mouse of lords and other
obstacles. Besides the Importance OF the
issues, the presence of the king, queen
and princes in the gorgeous court cere-

London, Feb. 9.-The reassembling OF
parliament Feb. ~ arouses intense in

to inaugurate Immediately measures TO
chick the powers OF the house Of lords,
making it subordinate to the will Of the
people rs represented by the house OF
commons. This is nothing less than a
revolution in the political constitutional
methods, and foreshadoWs a bitter con-
test between the two houses, with the
government already prepared for a dis
solution and an appeal to the country
upon the necessity Of curbing the power
representing the aristocracy i'm the in

VIII Appeal to the People.

This will be merely preliminary TO
series of measures by which Premier
embellishments purposes 10 frame
a clear issue against the lords and then
appeal to the people upon it. The gov
ernments determination to make the
fight now is due to the defeat Of the
education bill by the upper house and
the prospective defeat OF all otheS fea p
lures of the existing ministerial pro-
gram. II is seldom that a speech from
the throne has been awaited with so
much interest as it is said that the
ministry has induced the crown to make
an allusion 10 the deadlock between the
lords and commons. Whether King Ed
ward is ready to take such significant
action is open TO doubt. Formerly a
forecast Of the speech from the throne
was given out before the opening of
the session of parliament, but the king
now insists or strict secrecy. so moth
ing definite will be known until the
speech actually is delivered.

subject of the house Of lords Will be

TO both houses. The proposed govern

Of the house of lords can have little ef-
feet i'm itself as the lords power re-

luton is designed TO give the keynote
of the ministerial plans These will con-
sist chiefly of sending the lords NUM-
Der of popular measures, including a
drastic land bill affecting the estates
Of peers and other aristocrats. These
measures are sure to be rejected by the
house of lords. thus giving the govern
