London, Jan. 4.-Every available

gagged tonight in addressing political
meetings in various parts of the coun-
try.
Premier Asquith at a meeting at
Brighton, from which women were ex-

at two meetings in London, made a
great plea at the expense of the peers

The chancellor of the exchequer ex-
pressed the belief that the Peers nev-
er worked so hard in their lives They
seemed to think that the House of
Commons was an assembly of luna
tics and that the Peers were their
keepers. The Peers, he said, were walk
ing through the valley of humiliation
in order to find work for the unem-
ployed.
The chancellor also caused great

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Late today, af-
ter conference with Senators Aldrich
and Root and Attorney General Wick
ersham, President Taft decided to re-
vert to his original plan of combining
his views as to amendments to the
interstate commerce and antitrust
laws in one message. which he will
send to Congress Thursday noon. This
decision on the part of the President
is said to be final. The combined mes
sage will be about 5000 words in
length.
The President had been urged by
some senator's to treat the two sub
iects in separate papers and announce
ment was made yesterday that this
would be done. The time that the mes
sages should go forward to Congress
has been subject to frequent changes
on account of various consultations
the President desired to have. These
conferences have been completed and
so have the messages which combined
in the one document were sent to the
government printing office tonight.
At the conclusion of the conference
this afternoon between the President
and Senators Aldrich and Root. it was
announced that the Presidents pro-
posed railroad legislation would DO
given the right of way in both Senate
and House.
The further assurance was given
that the proposed changes in the rail-
road laws will be written In the
statute books during the session
There will be some opposition to the
rather drastic legislation which the
President will recommend but this Will
be overcome. it is said. and the Pres
ident will be supported in both branch
es of Congress.
Senators Root and Aldrich went to
the White House to discuss various
features of the legislative program for
the present session as well as the spe-
cial messages The decision as to the
railroad legislation being given prece-
dcnce over all other administration
measures was the only definite con-
clusion reached at this time. AS to
the ship subsidy and postal savings
banks. the changes in the conserva-
tirn laws and the proposed federal in
corporation act, neither senator would
SAY as 10 when they would be given
consideration.
The President will transmit to Con-

HOUSE AND SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 4-Reconvening
after the holiday recess the two houses
of Congress today after brief sessions,
adjourned until tomorrow, out of re-
spect to the memory of the late Sen
ator A. ]. McLaurin of Mississippi.
The Senate was in session but eight
minutes, taking only enough time to
adopt resolution of regret at Mr.. Nc
Laurin's DEATH The House was in
formed of the adoption of this resou-
ton by the Senate while Rep. Douglas
of Ohio was in the midst of a 30
minute speech in favor of more liberal
appropriations for agricultural pro-
jects.
similar resolution to that of the
Senate was adopted in the House and
at LIS o'clock the House adjourned.

THE INSURGENTS PLANS.

Washington, Jan. 4.-War without
quarter will be waged between
the Taft administration and such
Republican insurgents" in Con-
gress as are now opposing
and who oppose in the future. the
Taft legislative program. The battle is
not with those who have nursed disap-
pointment and are whetting their
knives publicly in anticipation of con-
tinueG conflict.
The battle broke suddenly today. At
first it was a single shot; then scat
tered firing; swiftly the thing spread
until tonight it has taken on the as
poets of general engagement, the con-
sequences of which cannot be foretold.
The substance of it is that the senators
and congressman who have taken a
stand against the present administra-
ton and who continue to align them
selves with the opposition to the Pres
ident'S policies, are to receive no con-
sideration in matters of patronage
UtteranceS such as that made by
Senator Cummins at a recent dinner
in Des Moines, by Senator Bristow in
previous speeches, anti-Taft articles in
Senator LaFollette's magazines and a
recent interview by Senator Clapp on
the price of food stuffs are said to have
stirred the President to action.
1t had been reported further that
some of the Republican insurgents in
the House have tried to secure appoint
ment under the administration of men
more or less openly out of harmony
with the Taft regime. Mr.. Tafts clos
est friends advised him that it would
be impolitic fer him to afford sineWs
of war 20 those who they warned him
might even cooperate with the Dem
ocrats in Congress against the Taft
legislative program and in the coun-
trv at large by creating anti-Taft SEN
timent in advance of the 1912 conven-
ton.
1t is stated without reserve tonight
that the President has listened to such
advice and has decided to follow it.
In support of the position taken by
certain leaders of the administration
that the battle is not with the tariff
insurgents, it was pointed out tonight
that Senators Nelson, Brown, Burkett
and Borah. all of whom voted against
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, appear
to be persona grata at the White

IN THE SENATE.

adopted resolution and adjourned in re-
spect to the memory of the late Senator
McLaurin, whose death occurred in Mis-
sissippi Dec %
In offering this resolution Senator Mon

that the Senate set aside a day on which
fitting tributes to his late colleague might

of the two great state parties been SO
widely divergent.
The tone in Mr.. Balfour's utterances
on previous occasions has been COM
mentcd upon as an indication that he
realizes the hopelessness of a Union
list victory in the coming elections.
The Marquis of Londonderry, in an
address at Belfast, declared that the
Unionists would rather occupy the OPP
position position until the crack of
doom than hold Office for five minutes
dependent upon the Irish vote.
The Rev. Robert Forman Horton, pas
tor of the Lyndhurst Road church, Hamp-
stead, addressing a political gathering at
that place tonight, made an interesting
contribution to the controversy. He ask
ed what would not Germany or Russia
give for a Parliament controlled on such
popular lines as the House of Commons.
He believed that the real leaders in the
present situation were not Lansdowne
and Balfour, but Curzon, Miner and per
haps, Cromer, all men trained in govern
ing subject races, who had returned to
England imbued with the idea Of renounc-
ing the representative principles Of gov
eminent which they had learned to disre-
gard elsewhere
The speaker then reminded his hearers
of the curious parallel in the overthrow
of the Roman Empire by the proconsuls
who returned from their admirably ad-
minstered provinces filed with impa-
thence at the popular government which
had appointed them. He warned the Brit
ish people that unless they bestirred
themselves history would repeat itself
Lord Rothschild, speaking at Liverpool
refuted the statement made by Chancel.
lor Lloyd George a few nights ago that
statistics showed that in May 1903, while
there was 30 per cent of unemployment in
New York state. there was only z per
cent. in England Lord Rothschild de-
clared that nearly 100000 immigrants
went to the United States every year and
that most of them landed at New York.
Therefore there must always be tempo
rary amount Of unemployment In New
York.
The best proof, he said that the United
States has recovered from the great fl
nancial panic was the increased price OF
American securities. His own observation
had been that when the diamond trade
was brisk there was no unemployment In
America and that during the American
financial crisis the South Africans were
at their wits end to sell diamonds. He
