LONDON June 4-(Special Dispatch TO
The Bee)-when Parliament meets next
week we will be able to size up the polit-
icai situation as it has been left by the
death OF King Edward and the accession of
King George
At present to all except those on the in
side the situation appears pretty mixed
There is a good deal of talk of compro-
mise. but this comes mostly from the oppo-
sition and / am inclined to believe it means
nothing practical. 1 have yet to talk with
liberal of influence who believes there
will be the slightest drawing back so far
as the veto question is concerned. The
line Of cleavage is so clearly drawn that
to the liberal mind there is no possible
Ground for compromise.
The only real question seems TO be as to
how much time the government. will allow
for things to settle down before forcing the
issue.
King George is thoroughly posted on the
situation.

in the House of Commons was the regu-
larity with which the new king attended,
and the close attention with which he fol-
lowed the various speeches. Before he left
Biarritz the hate king requested his son to
furnish him regularly with his impressions
of the course and spirit of Parliamentary
proceedings Those letters. &c they were
made public would excite profound inter-
est. t.a.
King Georges arrangements TO visit South
Africa to open The Union Parliament, has
necessarily been cancelled by his accession
to the throne. Arrangements have not yet
been made as to what will be done in the
circumstances, but. the probability is that
his majesty will select some member of the
royal family. possibly the duke of Con-
naught or Prince Arthur, to perform the
ceremony in his stead, There is some talk
of.haying the young duke of Cornwall make

Something like CONSERVATION has been
caused among those philanthropists who
thought they found the solution for the
,kproblem OF the unemployed by shipping all
chose out of work to Canada.
Already arrangements had been made to
adam government with notice that the
bars are up and that emigrants financially
assisted out of public or charitable funds

is suited for, willing to accept, and for
whom a position at farm work has been
guaranteed from Canada"
The government of that dominion wants
farm workers, not men to swell the ranks
of the unemployed in the big towns This
order especially strikes at such organiza-
tions as the London Central Unemployed
Body, which has been arranging to send out
( large patches OF men who cannot find work
On London. and who presumably would be
unsuited for farm labor. Strong represen-
tations have been made without effect tC
the Canadian government, and batch OF

Another line of emigration to Canada
which has come in for criticism and may
receive a check is the sending Of poor chill
