For First Time Three Centuries House Of Lords Refuses

ceptional cases
None would have supposed that the
eventful proceeding was distained. not
only To prove memorable in the an
mails of British history. but possibly
would involve far-reaching changes
in the British constitution. Indeed
there was unusual animation in the
public galleries. which were crowded
with peeresses, members of the house
of commons and ambassadors. But on
the floor itself complete calm pre-
vailed.
The vote was on Lord Lansaown's
amendment that the house was not
justified in giving its consent to the
bill until it had been submitted to the
judgment of the country. Nearly Ii
minutes We're occupied in clearing the
house, tellsrs for division being Earl
Waldergrave, Niscount Churchill.
Baron Denman and Lord Colebrooke.
When the vote was announced. just
before midnight. as $50 to 10 in favor
of the amendment. few mixed cheers
were heard. The Earl OF crewe i'm
metliately moved an adjournment, and
the house rose.
An eager crowd was waiting the re-
suit in the central hall. and when the
vote became known there was a
slight attempt at counter-demonstra
tion. Officials. however. speedily
cleared the hail. and in few min
utes the iobbies and precincts We're
empty.

about $4,000, which Is payable on Nov.
20. the books being closed on the 18th
Although it was foregone conclusion
that Sioux would cut the dividend this
month or next few persons were pre-
pared for the drop from 20 cents.
Most people had IL figured out that "a g.
cent dividend would be paid, though
some thought IL might cut to 4 cents.
but few persons expected the drop to
cents. The reason assigned for the cut
is the fact that the ore Is lower grade
than formerly.
The action Of the directors OF the Iron
blossom also came as "a pleasant sur
prise, e being thought that the divi-
dend might be passed this month In or
der to allow the company ample funds
for extensive development work. IL is
stated that the mine Is in good condl-
tiOn, and the company Is well able to
pay this dividend and vet have suf-
fcient funds on hand for all purposes.
Both this mine and the Colorado are
reported TO be looking well.
