Gen'I Election Prom
iSes Excitement

LONDON, Oct. TT. p. O'Connor
will soon sail for the United States
to explain the political situation in
Ireland and to make an appeal for
funds with which to carry on the
struggle for home rule in the ap-
preaching general election. 1t is ex-
pected the Nationalists will help Lib
erals to deprive the House of Lords
of the power of veto, which claim is
the sole remaining obstacle to home
rule.
While the house of commons is
concluding the committee stage of
the budget, the king, assisted by un-
official advisers, is actively interven-
ing to prevent the crisis which
the government financial proposals
threaten to precipitate.
The house has accomplished its
task as far as consideration is con-
cerned, the last clause passing in
committee tonight. The fight so far
as parliament is involved is ad-
journed until Noyeber 10, when the
measure comes up for report.
1t is quite likely, however, that the
bill will be much modified before it
leaves the lower house, thus enabling
the lords, without loss of prestige,
to agree on the bill ON the under
standing that the election will be held
in January. ..5.

the robbers came to the city after
holding up the train.
All four of the men wore long rain
coats and their features were entirely
masked, giving no opportunity for
members of the train crew to identify
them.
Every town in the country has been
notified and sheriffs of surrounding
counties have been keeping a lookout

the search.

selected is indefinite. but the authori.

questioned the wisdom OF permitting

He said he had no doubt that Cuba
would also in time send her sugar
here free OF duty,
Interrupting, Senator Foster said he
would join the senator from Iowa In
any effort he might make to keep out
free sugar from the Philippines.
Mr.. Cummins declared that ample
ability exists to supply the entire de-
mand for sugar in THE United States
by the culture OF beets, and he be-
lieved the time had come to handle
this question.
Mr.. CumninS commented at length
upon what he characterized as the
natural warfare between cane and
beet sugar, which, he said, would be
shown in the future as tho importa-
lions Of free sugar increased in vol
ume. He commented upon the bounty
as means for protecting beet sugar
growers, but did not Offer an amend.
ment for such bounty. He opposed
the inclusion of the Dutch standard

against the use OF beet sugar. Il
