PARLIAMENT MUST NOW BE DIS
SOLVED AND NEW ELEc-
TION ORDERED.
PEOPLE ARE TO DECIDE
MAY PROVE THE MOST iMPOR-
TANT CRISIS IN THREE HUN.
DREO YEARS.

London.-The House of Lords Tues
day night. for the first time in 800
years, refused its formal assent to the
budget, thereby making it illegal tor
the Kings agents to collect taxes with
which to carry on the government.
The vote was $50 to IS.
The vote was on Lord Lansdowne's 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.
The budget will now go before the
country for its approval or rejection;
that is, the crown, through the min
istry, will dissolve the House of Com
mons and order a general election.
Whether the present liberal house
and ministry shall be sustained in in
sisting on the budget will be the Issue
in the contest at the polls.
This action of the peers was taken
in direct disregard of the advice OF
such able members as Rosebery. Nor

mer, Lord Balfour of Burleigh, the
Earl Of Lytton, Lord Courtney and the
Archbishop of Canterbury and York.
After six days debate. notable .or
the high standard OF the oratory, as
well as for the arguments for and
against the budget. and placing in
every possible light the great consti-
tutional questions involved. the House
of Lords cleared for division at half
past IL O'Clock tonight.
The scene was impressive but in no
sense exciting, except that the house
was packed to it's utmost capacity. A
great array of strange faces were
seen on the benches, as numbers OF
peers were present who appear in the
house only in most exceptional cases.
None would have supposed that the
evenings proceeding was destined not
only to prove memorable in the annals
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 ambassa-
dors. but on the floor itself complete
calm prevailed.
Nearly fifteen minutes was occupied
in clearing the house, the tellers for
division being Earle Waldegrave. Wis.,
count Churchill, Baron Denman and
Lord Colebrooke.
When the vote was announced just
before midnight, as $50 to rs in favor
Of the amendment, a few mixed cheers
were heard. The Earl of Crewe i'm
mediately moved an adjournment and
the house rose.

walked, and the free arm swung

out to the bushes as he passed, trail

rough bark before he seized his ak

with every blow he drove home the

woods. Soon Tom Bishop Joined him

And all these years the man in the

that the winter was long and cold

that the sun cast its warmth and shaft
