London, January 26.--The combined strength of the liberal, labor and nation- allst coalition has reached S45 tonight; or more than half the number of members of the house of commons. A unionist gov ernment. therefore, is out of the dues- ton, and the only point still undecided is the exact strength of the coalition ma jority
 But as an independent liberal majority is equally out of the question, only short life can be predicted for the incom- ing government, and as B matter of fact boih the liberal and unionist parties are looking away from the present struggle into the not distant future when the con- 1ict at the polling booths will be re- newed.
 The party organizers have already been instructed to keep up unceasing vigilance and to be prepared for an appeal to the country at any moment. fs1
 There is no doubt that the success of the conservatives has been largely due to the constant cduca ton of the agricultural population in the virtues of tariff reform and this education will now be carried into the northern countries and Scotland in the hope of winning these territories at the next elections.
 The liberals on the other hand will con- centrate their attention on educating the country on the questions of free trade and the limtfatio of the veto of the house of lords.
 As an example of the difficulties facing the government at the coming session apart from the house of lords and the budget, It Is probable that the labor party will introduce their right to work bill which the government opposed last ses- sion.
 7 This might easily lead to the defeat of the ministry and to another dissolution.
 With the return of Premier Asquith and War Minister Haldane all the cab

British Liberals
 Are Very Doubtful
 About The Future

Only a few additional returns were received tonight and the parties now stand:
 Governmental coalition: Liberals, 23s;elaborites, .9s; nationalists 74. Op position: unionists. 255. Net gains of the unionists to date, ss.
 The first serious suffragette disturb ance during the election occurred i'll Premier Asquith's constituency today on the deelarat ton of the poll. Several attacks were made against the prime minister, but he escaped under police protection.
 T. P. O'Connor, president of the United Irish league of Great Britain. in speaking today of the next parliament and the policy and influence of the nationalists. said:
 Tt is absurd to contend that the liberal ministry cannot hold office with a considerable majority because a con- siderable portion of that majority must be nationalists Nationslists mem bers before now have put conservative ministers in power. notably In 1885, and Irish members of unionist opinions have helped to make conservative ma jorities several times.
 ! .'Is an Irish vote to count equal with an English vote when it is unfonist and not when it is nationalist?
 Ut is ridiculously contrary to the facts to suggest that the policy of the Irish party will be dictated from Amer lea and by those who are called their American paymasters. The people of our race in America, who subscribe so generously to our funds, attach no conditions to their gifts. which are the outcome of their love for the mother land, and an ardent desire to improve her condition.
 They take the position that it is not for them but for the men on the spot to choose the party's policy. and they have confidence in the judgment and patriotism of the Irish party as well as the leadership of John Redmond"

America Pdys More For AH Necessities
 Than Any Country

Philadelphia, January 26-"It costs more to get the common necessities of life in the United States today than in any other country in the world.''
 This startling statement was made to- night by James Wilson, Secretary of Agri- culture, in an address delivered before the Manufacturers club of this city. Sec retary Wilson discussed "the present food crlsis'' in a way that was original and forceful
 Some men," he said. tell us that if we repeal the present tariff law to let in for eign products free of duty the present difficulty will cease. I do not believe it. Eggs are 30 cents a dozen in Canadian cities and 50 cents dozen in some Amer ican cities. The duty is cents 8 dozen. What difference would it make whether you took off that cents or not?''
 The secretary further stated that he be- lieved that the American people are suf- fering not so much from the high cost of living as from the cost of high living. His statement being:
 ''It has been said that an American is the best fed, best clothed, best educated and best housed man upon the earth. We Snail nave to au0 now lndt ne IS tne uioot expensively fed.
 Secretary Wilson pointed out that the fundamental difficulty was that the peo- pie are leaving the farms to such an ex- tent that there are not enough remaining to produce the food of the increasing pop ulation. The boys and girls of the farm, he asserted, are being lured away to the stores. to the factories and to the mines, and to great extent the agricultural re- sources of the country are being neg lected.
 He said he was convinced that the com binations of retailers, wholesalers and the like were responsible in great measure for the keeping up of prices, and that the same influence would be sufficient fc control tha prices of nrnductS brought
