BOTH SIDES SURE
LIBERAL AND UNION

Formers Fight on Food TAG

Home Rule.
tBy Gable to The Tribune.l

London. Jan 5.-Liberal and Conserva-
tive leaders left their lieutenants in
charge of tie canvass to-day. SO that
there were no fresh developments in
party warfare
Two Liberal peers, Lord Crewe and
Lord Lucas. raised their voices in de-
fence of the budget. and twentyfour
Unionist peers. headed by the Marquis of
Lansdowne, continued vigorous can
vass. undismayed by persistent heckling.
The Liberal journals print comical ac
counts of political adventures of dukes
and earls. and the Unionist press re-
torts by representing the Chancellor of
the Exchequer as a blatant demagogue
and by displaying choice bits of abuse
of the House of Lords.
Sir Edward Grey, Mr. Birrell. Winston
Churchill. John Burns and Mr. Mac
Namara conducted the canvass in their
own ways to-day. without being infiu
enced by Mr.. Asquiths reversion to land
taxation; but Austen Chamberlain and
Messrs Long and Lyttelton have fol-
lowed Mr. Balfour's schedule of main
topics emphasizing tariff reform. the
OlSInemDeT1nent OF the klnSQOm Dy nome
Rule and the political fusion of the en-
pire along business lines.
The reversion of the Liberal speakers
to the taxation of food. synbolized by
a little loaf, is noticeable, both in the
speeches and on the hoardings. Their
most effective battle cry of 1906 is raised
anew, while the Unionists are reviving
the opposition TO Home Rule with the
object of detaching the Nonconformists
from the government side.
The dry [ lstitutional issue is above
the heads of the working masses, who
are drawn in opposite directions by
promises of employment under tariff re-
form and social reforms, through
close coalition of trade unionism and
radicalism.
Mr.. BaIfour is forecasting a Unionist
majority nearly as large as that OBJ
tanned during the Boer war. The Liberal
official party headquarters are equally
confident of a big majority, not conced-
ing more than fifty seats, which were
won in 1906 I. N r.

as in theory.
STATUS OF PRIZE COURT.
Another suggestion was made to the
powers in regard to the modification OF
the status of the prize court so as TO
hasten its formation. Secretary Knox
proposed that nations confronted with
constitutional objections in the matter
of direct appeal from their national
courts to the prize court might present
instead of the judgment of their national
courts, the question involved in the capt
ure at ISSUE and that the proceedings
in such case should be in the nature
of a retrial de novo; also that the judg-
ment of the international prize court
should be limited to the award Of dam
ages for the illegal capture.
AS constituted by the Hague confer
ence the prize court was to be a court
of appeal. either from the original ma
tional court in which the case was tried
or from the judgment of Its appellate
court. 1.-The United States has not SUBJ
mitted judgment OF it's court to interna-
tional tribunals" explains Secretary
Knox, although it has very frequently
presented questions involved in it's courts
to mixed commissions, and has promptly
paid the awards when the decision of
the mixed commission has taxed the
United States with liability not found
by its national court. Appeal from
court of the United States might raise
delicate and difficult question Of consti-

impossible, the ratification of the prize

A SEA MYSTERY.
Showing That Hate Is Stronger
Than the Elements.

l have been on the sea for forty
years and have passed through many
dangers. Thus | have had ample op-
portunity to observe how different peo-
pie will act in the presence of death.
Three times have | been carried from
a stranded ship over boiling seas in
breeches buoy and twice gone down
with the ship While l can't say that
l have become used to it, yet l have
gained self control in the presence of
death, and this has enabled me to
take notice of the action of others
similarly situated.
Up to certain point a marine dis
aster is like a battle, many on board
being sustained by an endeavor to
avert the catastrophe. But once all
effort has become useless those ex-
posed to the merciess waters sink to
a condition vI despair. Then the timiu
woman may rise above the vigorous
man, and little child may show more
fortitude than all. Once. and only
once, in my long experience have
witnessed a case where the fear of
death from the waves was swallowed
by something stronger.
In 1877 l was captain of a steamer
fitted up for the passenger service and
running between New York and Ber-
muda. One trip we made at a sea-
son when travel was at a minimum
and carried very few passengers. The
day we sailed the weather was fair.
The few passengers were supposed to
be on board, and the gangplank was
about to be drawn in when a man was
seen running through the dock house
for the steamer. | was leaning over
the rail at the time to see that all was
clear for pulling out, and as soon as
the newcomer was aboard l turned
away. Then l saw a passenger stand
ing on the deck pale as a ghost.
did he get aboard?' he asked.
Eyes" replied and gave the signal
to move. l had too much on my mind
to give any thought to the incident,
