PREMIER ASQUl7H
HAS SURRENDERED
Pressure Was Too Heavy and He Has
Agreed to Introduce The
Measures Which Were
Asked For.
THE KING INTERESTED
New Election May be Ordered in Case
the Cabinet Resigns and
Everything Does Not Run
Smoothly.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-Under the heav-
lest pressure, Premier Asquith surren-
dered today to the new-created alli-
ance made up of the radicals in his
own party and the Irish nationalists
and laborites, and agreed to introduce
the measure for the limitation Of the
lords veto and the budget simultale-
ously. The plan is to force vote on
the veto before the budget is taken up.
1t is conceded the house of lords will
reject the measure when the premier
makes his demand upon the king for
the crowns appointment of the most
liberal peers to insure the passage of
the veto measure.
If the king accedes, the crisis will
be passed in safety, but il he refuses,
the cabinet will resign Immediately
without even passing the budget or
providing for the royal salary list.
This will force new election on the
issue OF the lords veto. Today's agree
ment is unofficial, but it bears the ap-
proval of all the liberal, laborite and
nationalist leaders,
The climax to the situation will
come in about three days. Asquith's
official head depends upon his feality
to the new program. Should he show
the slightest hesitancy, his leadership
will be repudiated and Chancellor
! Lloyd George will be appointed leader
K in his stead,
In the event OF new election. II
L seems a foregoile conclusion that
Lloyd George will succeed Asquith
should the liberals be victorious. 1t
I is believed Asquith would not agree
to today's plans had he not received
4 assurances from tie king that the lat
ter would clothe the upper house with
liberal peers in case of the rejection
i of the veto bill. Should King Edward
refuse Asquith's request, the RESPONSE
I bility for a new election will thus be
upon his shoulders.

goodbye to the senators with whom
he had served for the past sixty days.
Practically the entire senate
listened with rapt attention to the ad-
dress of the venerable Mississippian.
Beginning with the statement that the
deadlock in Mississippi had been brok-
on and that Mr.. Percy had been chos-
en- to take his place, Colonel Gordon
said that he had felt desire to ex-
press his feelings toward the senate
before returning to his home in Mis-
sissippi. He then told how, when five
years old, he had been presented with
a toy board which was checked over
with different objects, some of them
good and some of them bad. One OF
these objects was the capitol of the
United States, and his mother had told
him, he said, that if he would be good
and would live correct life he might
some day hope to sit in the seat oi
the big man who was pictured there
"She never had told me lie, and
knew that what she said was true.
knew that l would some day occupy
the seat of that big man, and, Goo
helping me, got there" referring t.
! the fact that for time he had oc
cupied the seat of the presiding offic
er.

Colonel Gordon, @but / never was hap

spent much of it on my slaves, ant
the rest Of my funds l spent like
