will then present Commander Peary's
telegram and some action will be
taken looking to the appointment of a
special commission. In case DR.. Cook
fails to respond to the invitation Mr..
Moore says the special commission

Mr.. du Pont said that it had cost
his company considerable amount to
cancel those agreements; he did not
know how much. He said that so far
as he knew the members of his family
who conducted the business before he
and his brothers took charge did not
carry on competitive destructive
warfare" against their competitors.
Purely sentimental reasons" he con.
tfnued, actuated him and his partners
in retaining the Du Pont powder bust
hess when they took it over in 1902.
"There was no reason" he added,
"why the business should go out of a
family where it, had been for 100
years." Prices Of powder were lower
and competition in the business was
greater now, he asserted, than in
1884.

HARD FIGHT ON
BRITISH BUDGET
Little Progress Being Made
in House Of Commons.
AMENDMENTS NUMEROUS

Original Estimates No Longer Hold
Good and the Chancellor Of the Elk.
chequer Is Preparing Revision,
King Edward Endeavoring to Rec
oncle the Warning Factions in
Parliament.
London, Oct. 1.-THE budget bill
has undergone so many changes, some
OF a radical nature during the six
weeks debate and the chancellor OF
the exchcquer has promised to intro.
duce so many amendments on the re-
port stage that the government has
decided to give the house of com
mons weeks holiday in order to
enable members to digest the revised
proposals.
The original budget estimates dc
not held good any longer and Mr.
Lloyd George is preparing a revised
estimate Of the yield expected to b.
produced by his financial proposals a.:
amended during the debates in the
mouse. The revised estimates will
be placed in the hands of the mem
bers when they adjourn on Nov. 9 to
reassen:ble OH Nov. IS.
1t is suggested in Some circles that
notifications enough may be intro
duced into the amended bill to make
it more acceptable to the house of
lords.
A particularly interesting turn is
given to the situation by the an.
no,nccment that Lord 1-ansdowne,
leader of the opposition in the house
of lords, is going to Ralmoral castle
for the week end. Whether Mr.. AS
quith, the premier, will still be there
when the Unionist leader arrives and
what King Edward may be able to do
in the way Of reconciling the pro-
tagonists are matters of keen discus
sion in political circles.
