Washington, Feb. 14.-RepresentatlVe
Charles Littlefeld, of Maine, proposes
to create a rumpus before congress
adiourns and to this end he has thrown
down the gauge Of battle to the frlenos
of the Ship subsidy bill.
Mr.. Littlefield is author of a bill 70
regulate and in some instances to pro-
hibit the sale of liquor in the original
packages as shipped from one state in
to another, and is pressing hard for It's
consideration. Mr.. Littlefield won MS
fight in committee and judiciary, and
has a favorable report on his bill
which is probably Endorsed by more pc
titions received in Washington this
winter than any other measure pend
ing. There is some very strong OPP
position to the bill, and all the efforts
made by the Maine member to get 1t
considered on the floor of the house
have been repulsed.
Mr.. Littlefield gave an ultimatum
that he would move to substitute his
bill for consideration in place of the
ship subsidy measure, and the friends
OF the latter are in a panicky frame OF
mind. The Littlefield liquor bill is one

Old Struggle of Centuries in

proaches a Crisis
KING CREATES a SENSATION
Liberal Government Propose. to De-
prive Upper Eranch of the Right of

norance of Proposed Plans-Irish
Question Also Up.

London, Feb. a. - The struggle
between the house of lords and the
house of commons, brewing for CEN
turtles, was brought to crisis by King
Edward in his speech at the opening
Of parliament.
Both the king and the premier in
dictated that the government, at the
present session of parliament, proposes
to make important constitutional
changes, which, it is believed, will lin
1t the power OF the house OF lords to
veto acts passed by the commons.
In his speech from the throne King
Edward said:
Serious questions affecting the
working Of our parliamentary system
have arisen from the unfortunate diff
ferences between the two houses. My
ministers have this important subject
under consideration with the view of
solution of the difficulty"
This plain intimation caused a COM
motion in the audience in spite of the
rigid conveltionality Of the ceremony
which forbids any demonstration while
the king is reading his speech from the
throne.
Premier Campbell Bannerman was
more outspoken in his speech to the
house of commons.

Of parliament and on lines represent
ing complete enlightenment.
Opposition Leader Balfour, referring
to the Irish question, said Mr.. Bryce
(lately chief secretary for 1reland) had
held a pistol at the heads Of every
one concerned in the matter. He had
shouted an undying challenge at the
! top of his voice and then had nailed
his colors to somebody else's mast.
Dissolution Not in Sight.
During his speech Mr.. Balfour plain
Nv revealed the hope of the conserva-
tives that the struggle will lead to
early dissolution, as a result of which
they hope to reverse the verdict of the
country as given in the last general
election.
There is little doubt, however, that
the government is equally anxious TO
avoid early dissolution, the relations OF
the labor party to the liberals being
still too strained to render another ap-
peal to the country advisable at the
present time.
The reluctance of the government IN
this direction is generally attributed as
the reason for the omission to pro-
mote Winston Spencer Churchill in the
recent Encouragement Of the cabinet,
Mr.. Churchilrs seat at Manchester not
being considered safe enough to risk
in by-election.

WHISKY MEN HAVE FIGHT.
Makers Of Straight and Blended Prod

Louisville, KY, Feb. 13.-After
stormy session, during which a hitter
fight ragged between the straight and
blended whisky interests, peace settled
over the Kentucky Distillers' Associa-
ton, which began its annual session
here yesterday.
An attempt was made by the straight
interests to have the association reor-'
ganized, eliminating from membership
all manufacturers OF the blended arr
ticle but the blenders proposed that the
convention forget its differences and
call national convention for the pur-
pose Of legishting the keepers Of low
saloons. The suggestion was indorsed
and resolution was later adopted call
ing for q national convention in Louis

Two important measures demanded
by The country and passed after In
finite patience by the shouse OF COM
mons had been destroyed by the house
of lords. The latter were watchdogs
who. after a period of prolonged SOM
Violence, were now full of bitter fero:-
ity. The readjustment OF the consti-
tutional machinery would be of real
service to the country.
Must Be Settled.
Continuing amid loud cheers. the
premier declared that the question of
the house Of lords must be settled. The
present situation was discreditable,
dangerous, and demoraMzing, but he
was not sure that when they got TO
closer quarters with the question it
might not prove easier of solution than
1t now appeared to be.
There must be, he said, readjust-
ment of the relations between the two
houses, SO as to enable them to carry
out in reasonable harmony the wishes
Of the people, and to this the attention
OF the house Of commons would be di-
rected in due time.
Arthur j. Balfour, leader Of the op-
position, declared that the government
in filling up the cup" against the house
Of lords would, he felt assured, fill to
overdowing the cup OF unpopularity Of
the government and lead the country to
desire change, not in the house of
lords, but in the house Of commons.
He agreed that in the long run the
people should decide what should be
the laws under which they were to
live.

comment. Lord Lansdowne, leader of
the LIBERAL union opposition, in BRIEF
speech declared the opposition was left
in entire ignorance as to the direc-
ton in which a solution for the pres
ent relations between the house Of
lords and the house of commons was
to be sought. Did the government want
to make the upper house stronger
and more efficient, or to degrade 1t to
a mere debating society? 1t was deep
ly rooted in the public mind that what
ever dangers might be apprehended
from an unreformed house of lords they
We're nothing to be compared win
those of an unrestrained house OF
commons.
1t is believed that the cabinet has
not yet decided upon the details of its
plan of attack, but the speech OF Sir
Henry Campbel-Bannerman indicated
that it will be aimed rather at limiting
the lords powers of veto than attack
ing the constitution of the upper house.
Irish Question Up.
On the Irish question the king said:
Your attention will be called to
measures for further associating the
people Ol Win lily AhesaAsSS
ment of their domestic affairs and
otherwise improving their system of
government in it's administrative and
financial aspects Proposals will also
be submitted to you for effecting
reform of university education in Ire
land. by which 1 trust that the diff
culties which have SO long retarded
higher education in that country may
be removed
In the house of lords Lord CASTLE
town, abiding to the kings references
to the Irish question, declared that
what was proposed was evolution
rather than devolution. After 100 years
of union it was proposed to adopt ad-
ministrative reforms, long overdue, to
rescue the Irish system from chaos.
Irelands appeal for financial justice
had failed, but separation was I'M
thinkable and impossible.
b In the commons Premier Balfour
pointed out that in dealing with the
Irish question the government could
not Immediately enter upon larger
policy, but must first remove the most
Objectionable features in such a way
as to he consistent with the adoption
of that policy.
John E. Redmond, the Irish leader,
said he regarded the government as
being absolutely pledged to deal with
the Irish question during this session
