Winning Applause.

LONDON, Dec. BY n majority OF

fore challenged III modern times.
The vote was taken on a resolution
offered by Premier Asquith. which de-
'clared "t that the action of the house Of
lords in refusing TO pass into Law the
financial provisions made by the cham.
ber for the expenses of the wear was q
breach of opsttution and an usurpa
tioD Of the rights of the house of com.
mons.
The resolution was passed by vote
OF $40 TO 1874
BY this vote The opposing forces of
the lords and commons arc placed in
battle array for one Of the greatest con
st1tutional struggles that has come be
lore the country for centuries.
Contrast in Scenes.
Scenes of enthusiasm which accom-
panied the voting of Mr. Asauith S
resolution were in marked contra 81 TO
those witnessed in the recent debate in
the house of lords No prominent men,
bers Of the government side arose IN
the house OF commons TO utter solemn
warnings against the course the minis
ranks were closed IN complete unan-
unity of protest against the action Of
the upper house.
Mr., Balfour, leader of the opposi.
ton, evidently was suffering from ef-
fects of his iudisposition and did mol
speak at his best. His speech lacked
he ring of sincerity aud conviction
that characterized the prime minis.
ter's. The latter had an easy task IN
pouring ridicule upon what he de-
scrbed. amid the rousinc cheers of his
supporters. as "new-fangled Caesar
ism, this arrogant usurpation OF
the lords.

the country would be brought TO a
standstill -

Balfour against bimself was only
equaled by the chagrin depicted on the
