Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. 11-This
city. the headquarters Of the provis-
ional government, has been thrown
into alarm by a sudden. realization of
the strength of the government against
which General Estrada, leader of the
insurgents, had been supposed TO be
making irresistible headway. Estrada
apparently has been hoodwinked by
Zelaya, and no one would be surpris-
ed if the latters troops should appear
before the city at any hour. Estrada
is hoping for timely aid from the Unit
ed States.

A correspondent of the Associated
Press, who recently arrived here, has
canvassed the situation and finds it
less hopeful for the insurgents than
had been believed Estrada is greatly
disturbed. and has appealed to United
States Consul Moffat for marines from
the cruiser Des Moines to protect
Americans. 1t is known, however, what
he really wishes is intervention by the
United States to save the insurgents
cause.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 9.-Speak-
er Cannon has effectively side-track-
ed a congressional investigation of
the sugar trust, which threatened to
include probe of the joker in the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill.
When the resolution providing for
an inquiry into the sugar scandal by
a joint committee of the house and
senate was offered, Uncle Joe" re-
ferred the measure to the committee
on rules, which he dominates abso-
lutely, and which was equivalent to
referring the matter to himself
Democrats Have No Voice.
The committee on rules is composed
of five members, three republicans
and two democrats. The speaker is
the chairman of the committee and he
appoints the other four members. The
two democratic members might as well
not be on the comittee, as they stand
no show in voting against three repuo-
licans. In addition to Speaker Cannon,

London, Dec. 11.-At a monster
meeting last night in Albert hall, Her
bert Henry Asquith, the British prime
minister, laid down the policy on which
the liberal government is appealing to
the country. He repeated what had

There is not and cannot be any
question of separation. There is
not and cannot be any question Of
rivalry or competing for suprem-
acy subject to these conditions.
That is the liberal policy. For rea-
sons which we believe to have been
adequate, the present parliament
was disabled in advance from pro-
posing any such solutionwbut in
the new house the liberal govern
ment at the head OF a liberal ma
jority will be in this matter en-
tirely free.
Plans Against Lords.
Stating precisely what the liberals
expect to do to the house OF lords and
referring to the way in which the peers
blocked the budget, Mr.. Asquith said:
What has been done may be done
again. It becomes our first duty
to make its recurrence impossible.
We shall therefore demand author
ity from the electorate TO trans
4dLe dI dLClGIlN, uilW IlLiGn uSdBC
into an act Of parliament and to
place upon the statute book rec
Ognition explicit and complete of
the unsettled doctrine of our con-
stitution that it is beyond the
province of the house of lords to
NEEDLE with any law, to any de-
gree or for any purpose, of ma
tionaI finance.
VIII Not Again Submit.
The premier, continuing. said that
neither he nor any other liberal min
lister supported by a majority in the
house of commons was going to sub
nit again to the rebuffs and humilia-
tions of the last four years. They
would not assume office unless they
could secure safeguards which expert
ence showed to be necessary for the
legislative unity and honor of their
party.
The liberal party, Mr.. Asquith de-
clared, was not promoting the aboli-
tion of the house of lords or the set
ting up of a single chamber, but it
asked of the electorate that the house
VI iOIuS SIOulu Dt lO lHG
functions proper of the second cham
Der and that the absolute veto must go.
He, personally, did not underesti-
mate the odds against which he had to
contend, but the government was un-
animous in demanding the absolute
control of the finances by the house of
commons, the maintenance of free
trade and an effective curtailment or
limitation of the power OF the house
of lords
Defense of the Budget.
Mr.. Asquith defended the budget as
to social reform. and in this
respect old age pensions were the first
step. The budget, he continued, had
been thrown out by the house of lords
after weeks of debate and the govern
ment, as a result, was confronted with
three constitutional innovations: First,
the claim of the house of lords to con-
troll in levying taxation; second. the
claim of the same house TO the right
to compel dissolution of the popular
chamber, and, third, the assertion of
the house of lords of their power to
make and unmake the executive gov
of the crown.
