With reference to the effect of the bud
get on trade the chancellor took the I'M
usual course of prematurely announcing
to the meeting the returns of the Board
of Trade for December. They showed an
increase in exports over December Of
1908 amounting to $21 $40, 900 The biggest
year British trade ever saw was 1907, and.
the chancellor pointed out, trade for the
last month was better than in December
1907, by 100000 and over in exports and
if they took both exports and imports,
it was better by s25,000OO0. Furthermore
the increase in imports was not in man
ufactured goods, but raw material and
food. 1t loked as though the coming year
would be the biggest British trade year
experienced from the foundation of the
empire.
The prime minister, speaking at Bath
reiterated his statement that so far as
equipment and armament were concerned
the British navy was in a position of
unassailable superiority, and the British
shores were more completely secure than
at any time within memory. He threw
ridicule on Mr. Balfour's attempts to en-
gineer Germany scare, and suggested

No Sign of Settlement Of. Strike o
Northwestern Switchmen.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Proceedings in me-
diation of the controversy between the
officials of the railroads operating out of
Chicago and their switchmen will be be-
gun at the offices of the Interstate Com

negotiations will be conducted under the
Erdman act. If the mediation should
prove unavailing it is likely that the con-

The differences to be considered are pre-

was off 10 minutes owing to the snow and
sleet forming short circuits on the wires
At 2.15 in the afternoon the power was of

Let us ask any American citizen
whether he thought life would be worth
living if the elaborate precautions tax
en- by the trainers of the Constitution
were disregarded and only the House
of Representatives should rule. He
would reply that the man who made
such a suggestion was a lunatic."
Mr.. Balfour wished that the question
of the reform of the House of Lords
could be dealt with by both parties
irrespective of party. He instanced
the Irish home rule bill as an instruc-
tive example of the need of second
chamber. Home rule had been twice
adopted by the House of Commons,
but had been repudiated by the COM
mon sense of the community.
IF the Radicals have their way he
asked, would the community have a
chance of giving their opinion?"
The Opposition leader also devoted
part of his speech to denouncing the
Liberals home rule policy and to
pointing out the advantages of tariff
reform He made no reference to the
storm his last speech raised in Ger
many.

Donoughmore and Lord Cheylesmore,
in attempting to address a Conserva-
tive meeting at Coventry. found that
the hall had been captured beforehand
by the Radicals, who hooted all the
speakers down. The meeting broke up
in disorder similar fate overlook
Lord Rothschid at Wolverton, where
a crowd of Radical hooligans rushed
the doors. Lord Rothschild stood for
a long time facing the deafening shouts
but was obliged to content himself by
addressing the reporters.
Sir William Bull, members of the
House of Commons for Hammersmith,
while speaking before the electors of
that constituency, was rudely heckled
by a man in the crowd. He threatened
to punch the mans head.
Come on" shouted the man.
Sir William forthwith descended and
the crowd formed a ring. A stand-up
fight ensued until the police separated
the men.
Sir William, speaking of the affair." said
he was none the worse for the encounter
There's been a deal of unfair Radical
rowdism lately" he said. This affair
may clear the air, for English like fair
fight and no fouling."
Sir Charles Walpole, the Unionist can
didate in Chertsey, has made public use
of a letter from Whtlaw Reid, the Amer
lean ambassador. on the subject of I'M
employment in the United States. The
election agent for the opposing candidate
has drawn attention in the Daily Chron-
icle to this asking whether it is permits
sible for a foreign ambassador thus to
interfere in politics. The Chronicle says
that if the letter was published without
the ambassadors authority it is merely
local matter, but that if Sir Charles
has authority for its publication, the mat
ter will be brought to the notice of Sir
Edward Grey, the foreign secretary. The
letter referred to was written by Am
bassador Reid in December, 1908.
