DEADLOCK IS ON IN ENGLAND
Parliament Opens and the Gov
ernment is Beaten.
ASQUlTH Deserted BY HIS allies
VIII Throw Kingdom Into Another
to Adopt Budget to Avert
General Election-NIay Be Able
Chaos.

London.-The players in the
game OF politics threw their cards
upon tho table in the House of Com
mons Tuesday. The government is
without the allies necessary to car
ry legislation and the present pros
pect is that the country will be stir
red up by another general election
within a few months.
Premier Asquith announced that
the financial legislation would be put
ahead of the proposals to curb the
power of the House of Lords.
John E. Redmond, the Irish lead
er declared flatly that the Nation
alists would not support that pro-
gram. The Laborites are holding a
meeting to decide their course. They
probably will follow in the footsteps
of the Irish members.
The government may be able to
adopt the budget by the grace of
conservatives, who possibly will vote
for II in order to avert financial
chaos and keep the wheels of the
empire turning. But the enactment
Of the budget will, as Mr.. Redmond
pointed out, leave the winning cards
in the hands of the Lords, who will
then be free to reject the bill for
the reforming of their House and
force another election.
The meeting of Parliament was
a momentous one, for the cabinets
policy was not revealed to the coun-
try until the moment Premier AS
quith took the floor. Seldom in
the history OF the House of Com
mons has its proceedings been watch
ed with more intense interest by the
distinguished assembly of spectators
who were able to gain admittance
and the millions who depend upon
the newspaper for their informa-
ton.
Mr.. Redmond and his Irish collie
agues controlled the course Of events
His pronouncement that the Irish
members would not support the
prime minister was the sensation of
the day and it appears to have set
tied the administrations fate. 1t Is
reported that the twenty five radicals
have declared their intention of sup
porting Mr.. Redmond against the
governments course. and that great
pressure Is being brought to bear
from the radicals to induce Mr.. AS
Quith to resign forthwith.
Austen Chamberlain will propose
an amendment to the kings speech
in favor of tariff reform and i'm
perial preference at the same time
deploriDg the failure of the minis
ters to recognize in the speech the
nature and gravity of the state of
trade and employment.
Commenting on the unexpected col
lapse of the house of commons of
the debate at the conclusion of Mr..
Redmond's speech, the Unionist
morning papers predict that the new
parliament will be so short livei
as to be practically still born. The
Morning Post bids Mr.. Balfour be
prepared to take Office at any mo-
ment.
The Liberal papers maintain a
brave show but they have diflculty
in concealing their disappointment
and depression.

FUNERAL MUTEs MAY STRIKE.
Hired Mourners Of Paris Complain Of
Reduced Earnings.

Paris.-The funeral mutes of Paris
are thinking of striking. They say
that since the separation Of state
and church the former has assumed
the supervision Of the undertaking
business, which formerly paid the
lay officers of the city parishes about
100000 yearly a large part of
which went to their underlings, the
mutes.
These hired mourners complain
that they must now exc out their
earnings by holding out the hand
Of beggary to the real mourners,
and describe their duties as much
more onerous than merely walking
in rusty black in the procession be-
fore and after the hearse. They do
the real work of laying out the
dead-something with which the in
Vulnerable writer's who have ridicul-
ed them never credited them with.

PLANTS MADE TO ORDER.
Radium Produces a New Species o
Primrose.

Columbia, Mo.-Plants may be
made to order, according to Prof. C.
Stuart eager, who for two years has
been experimenting with radium at
the University of Missouri. An en-
tirely new species of primrose has
been originated by the use of the
radium and 1t has held true to the
new form through three generations
of the plant. The color of the flow
er was changed and the leaves chang
ed from broad to narrow.
1t is possible to accelerate or re-
tari the growth of plants by expos
ing them to the radium rays. Sew
eral seeds of oats we're planted in
the same flower pots with tubes of
radium and the seeds terminated IL
half the regular time and the plant
grew twice as fast.

some 100000 cubic yards of earth to
be excavated. at a cost of 12A cents
per yard. An area OF 10000 acres
Will be drained. The progress in re-
moving dirt is about 1000 .ubic
yards day. In the Second District,

Farmers in "Tip-top" Shape.

Farmers in the locality of Green
burg are pushing right ahead. More
plowing has been done than ever
known before at this time of the
year. Cotton is now the surplus crop.
There is no doubt but that a good
cotton crop will be harvested from
what acreage is planted, because far
mers are paying more attention to
early seed, better cultivation and
deep fall plowing.

THE FoGGY MORNING ATTACK.
Cedar Creek and the Magic Effect of
Sheridan's Arrival.

Editor National Tribune: On the
morning of Oct. 19, 1864, the boom of
cannon, the terrific rattle of musketry
and the rebel yell simultaneously broke
upon the ears of the drowsy boys at
Cedar Creek and aroused them from
slumber. They rushed out of their
tents into the darkness of a fcggy
morning, realizing that the enemy had
attacked them with vigor. The tumult
of battle came roaring across the fields
from the direction of the Eighth Corps,
upon the left flank. Immediately the
long roll sounded in all the camps. The
Hath n. Y. formed a line of battle be-
fore their camp and awaited orders
The rebel yells were drawing nearer
and nearer. In a moment an order
came for the regiment to move out in
line upon the summit of a hill in front
of Its camp They were compelled to
struggle against a torrent of panic
stricken fugitives. The Eighth Corps
so gallant in all its former engagements
had been entirely and instantly changed
into disorganiZed mass of straggIers.
So suddenly and silently did the enemy
rush upon their camp that many were
unable to arm or dress themselves be-
fore they were compelled to seek safety
in flight. They came running TO the
rear without hats, coats or even pants
Altho they made desperate and heroic
efforts, they soon found that they were
too few in numbers to cope with the
hordes of rebels swarming all around
their front and fianks. Again and again
the enemy persistently broke to pieces
or doubled up the left flank Four miles
OF an inglorious retreat had been
passed, in which every hill, wall and
grove had been contested. The crisis
over, Gen. Wright ordered a regular
line OF retreat Gloomily our bows
tramped across the fields. Near IL
O'Clock there seemed to be an unac-
countable disturbance among the
troops near the pike. Cheers were heard
in the distance. While wondering what
1t all meant staff officer rode up to
Col. Davis, who was commanding the
FIRST Brigade, to which our regiment
belonged, and gave the following thrill
