HOUSE Of LORDS
HANGS IN THE
BALANCE TODAY
First Fight For Control of
King Georges Parliament
Being Waged
IRISH NATIONAu|s1S MAY
CONTROL next PARLIAMENT
Betting Is Even That the UniOnists
VIII Secure Net Gain of Twenty
Seats and Put Them on an Even
Footing With the Liberals.

London, Dec. 3.-The fight for con-
troll of King Georges first parliament
with all that such control portends
as to the future status of the house of
lords, home rule for ireland, and tariff
reform, began today with the polling
in siXty-nine constituencies. Early
this afternoon forty unopposed re-
turns had been made, which with the
fifteen unopposed nominations of yes
terday brought the aggregate of men-
bers elected up to fifty-fve. With
these figures the status of the parties
now stands: Government coalition
Liberals 16, Labor members, none;
Irish Nationalists, 5. Opposition
Unionists, "a.
The weather was somewhat i'm
proved today although it was still
damp and cold.
The Unionists are putting up a
much stronger fight than on the two
previous contests and the betting is
now even that they will secure a net
gain of twenty seats, which would put
them on an even footing with the
Liberals and Laborites combined, thus
leaving the Irish Nationalists in alb
solute control of the next parliament.

Sheriff Feared Citizens Of Ignite

Bowbells, N. D., Dec. 3.-Bowbells
has been declared the permanent
county seat of Burke county, a procla-
nation to the effect having just been
issued by the board of commission
ers. The official canvass of the vote
in the county, the proclamation says.
shows Bowbells to be the winner of
the county seat.
Up to the time the proclamation
was issued Ignite was supposed to
be the winner in the fight for the seat
of government. That city had good
sized majority on the face Of the re-
turns.
/" Not the least sensational feature of
the fight for the county seat honors
was the swearing in by Sheriff Lucy
of fifty deputies charged with the duty
of guarding the county records, it be-
ing feared that an effort would be
made to seize them and remove them
to Ignite.
Another Difficulty Arises.
Another interesting question has
just arisen in the county. The board
of commissioners by resolution abol-
ished the office of deputy county treas
urer, but that official is still retaining
his position, signing tax receipts and
doing the other work Of the position.
The question arises as to whether
these tax receipts are legal. The
states attorney has been called upon
for ruling in the matter.

DEMOCRATS WILL
GUARD HERITAGE
Senator Hale Says They Will
Resist Efforts of Republi-
cans to Legislate

Washington, Dec. 3.-"The Demo-
cratic party has captured the house of
representatives by a great majority,
and has almost captured the senate,
and, with the country apparently be-
hind that party, it will, have no
doubt, insist upon taking its natural
responsibilities. Should an expiring
congress in Its last days undertake,
by any deathbed action, TO rob the VIC
torious party OF it's natll,al Inherit
ance, it will be resisted to the utmost.
and nothing will rollow but a pro-
tracted struggle, which will shut out
certain important measures, which
otherwise may, perhaps, carry in both
houses"
Such is the opinion of Senator Hale,
chairman of the Republican caucus of
the senate and of the senate commit
tee on appropriations, as expressed
in an interview yesterday.
Coming down to the consideration
Of details. Mr.. Hale said that beyond
the passage of the usual appropria-
ton bills and possibly an apportion-
ment bill and an ocean mali bounty
bill, the approaching short session of
congress will transact no important
business. He also regards an extra
session as most improbable.
Senator Hale was especially en-
phatic In declaring that there could
be no tariff legislation, and he went
as far as to express the view that
while the president may suggest q
general program. he will not try to
force 1t upon congress.

Many Ranchers and Few
Poems in the Ranks

Chihuahua. Dec. 3-Reports of a
battle at Padernalles Tuesday were
confirmed today. Some of the Mexi-
can regulars who were taken prison
ers, went over to the rebels. The
Mexican soldiers in the fight were
those who left the train at San An
dreas on September %, when a train
was wrecked. They had been living
in the country and hunger drove them
to Padernalles where the fight occur
red. The revolutionists are not all
their numbers and it is thought the
revolutionary leader at San Andreas
is Francisco Valdezy Vasquez, an as
sayer of Chihuahua Governor Jose
Maria Sanchez expects further active
fighting in Chihuahua state.
Quiet Prevails
Washington, Dec. 3-Word has
finally been received from Luther E.
Ellsworth, American consul at Ciudad
Profiro Diaz, apparently having a
bearing upon the reported dissatis-
faction with his post and his desire
for a transfer. A telegram was re-
ceived from him applying for leave
Of absence to permit him to come to
Washington. The dispatch contained
no hint as to the reasons for the re-
quest. No action has been taken up
on the application.
With the exception of intermittent
guerrilla skirmishing in the remote
districts of the state of Chihuahua,
normal conditions prevail in the en-
tire republic Of Mexico, according to
telegram received by the depart
ment from Henry Lane Wilson. Amer
ican ambassador at Mexico City. Will
sons dispatch was based upon advices
of the Mexican foreign Office.
The state department official tele-
grams continue to state that the in
auguration of President Diaz was

conference, however, was with Judge
Sanborn of st. Paul, member of the
eighth circuit. Judge Sanborn has
been considered supreme court tim
ber himself, but has been eliminated
from present consideration because of
his participation in the Standard Oil
decision.
The president wanted to get some
first hand information regarding va

for promotion either to the supreme
bench or to the court of commerce.
Mr.. Taft also talked at some length
with former Attorney General Griggs
