IRISH EMBARRASSED.
Redmond Would Prefer q
Strong Liberal Majority.

Dublin, Jan. 25-The situation created
by the British elections is one of no little
difficulty for the Nationalist leaders
On the one hand. they probably have It
in their power to make or unmake any gov
ernnent dependent upon the new House OF
Commons for existence; on the other hand
their experience in the Home Rule Parlia-
ment Of 1892 convinces them that measures
in the direction of a national self govern
ment for Ireland must have the support of
an adequate British majority If they are to
be carried successfully. Hence. John Red
mond, leader of the Nationalists, has ex-
pressed the wish that the Liberals may have
an independent majority to overcome the
House of Lords veto, and such a majority
is regarded here as essential
Another source of difficulty is the posi-
ton of the Irish party in relation TO the
budget Although Ireland has on the whole
benefited financially by the measures OF
the recent Liberal government. there are
features of the budget to which Irish
opinion takes strong exception. Yet TO in
sist on the amendment of these proposals,
IT is held, would be justifying the referen-
oum, challenged by the peers, while TO ac-
cept the budget unamended might expose
the Irish party TO attack from those wish
ing to create trouble for the party in Ire
land.
A solution may possibly be found in the
removal of the provisions Objectionable TO
the Irish from the coming years budget
and the concentration of all the popular
parties on the veto question. When that
question is settled the Irish question, the
Nationalist leaders assert, must assume an
mediate Importance, and the party will
then be in position TO insist that il shall
be dealt with on the liberal principles of
Gladstone.
Speaking at Fermoy, William O'Brien BIT
terly attacked Mr.. Redmond's policy in ac-
cepting Mr.. Asquith's promise He warned
his countrymen that they were being gross
ly deceived if they supposed they would get
home rule from the next Parliament. They
were told that they must wait until the
veto of the House of Lords is abolished.
but If they waited for that they would have
to wait until they were older than Nethu
selah.

BRITISH ELECTIONS

the Nationalists. will be figure almost as
important as the Premier, because Mr. AS
ouith can do nothing without him.
The Conservatives believe that the older
wing of the Liberal party. represented by
MIR. Asquith, the Secretary for war, MT.
Haldane. and the Foreign Secretary. Sir
Edward Grey, now repents of having per-
unitted Radicals like David Lloyd-George
and Winston Spencer Churchill to commit
the party to a budget which is so FAR on
the road to what their opponents term So
ciaIism. The Liberals claim that their enc
mics are trembling in their boots lest they
find the government on their hands. with the
necessity of raising revenues for old age
pensions and a larger navy. and at the same
time attempting to adopt protection
The surprise of the campaign has been
that the manufacturing centres, with few
exceptions. have gone for free trade. while
the strongholds of the squires shifted to the
protection party The Conservatives are
convinced that this campaign Is the first
milestone in bitter struggle in which his
tory will repeat itself and In which their
party will return to power by gradual steps.
That the struggle Is bitter even at the
present moment there is no question The
one time chivalrous atmosphere of British
politics has been wonderfully changed So
much personal feeling and SO many charges
of lying and intimidation have been un-
known since the reform bill days. The Lib
erals make wholesale charges that the work
men in the factories. the farm laborers and
tenants have been dismissed and threatened
with eviction for supporting their party.
Picturesque features Of the campaign
have been furnished by carts going about
the streets loaded with dumped foreign
goods, and posters by the best cartoonists,
on the walls caricaturing the lords and
depicting the misery of free trade 10 the
Workmen.
One element which was counted upon to
furnish spice failed TO come up TO expecta-
tions. The suffragettes generally have been
quiet. Mrs. Pankhurst gives the explana-
tion that the suffragettes know when to
demonstrate and when to keep quiet 1t is
the members of the Cabinet they want TO
reach. They can reach the voters and they
expect 70 vote at the next election.

ANNALS STILL EAT.
Despite WaiI at High Prices
by ZoOIogicaL Curator.

According 10 Director Hornaday OF the
Geological Gardens in Bronx Park. il costs
more 10 feed a lion now than al any time
IN the history Of the gardens. It is equally
true OF nearly all the hoof stock besides.
for though hay and grains have not been so
high this year as last, the trend OF prices
has been upward and not down for three
or four years. OF the eighty-two varieties
of food used the greater proportion show
sn increase ia cost. For the eleven months
ended on January 10. 1910, the total food
expenditure for all mammals. birds ana
reptiles, amounted TO S26.Ss0 ., The entire
collection now includes 5.52S living things.
More as an Indication OF the growth since
fits inception. in 1899. than as an exam
pie OF the difference in cost of food Will it
be OF interest to give the first years food
expenditure. In 1899 It was only s1,S45.
But. as Director Hornaday says, lion
and bear eat just as much when prices
are high as when low. So does a hippo
potamus. but the latter in proportion. does
not cost as much as a lion or tiger, because
the former can be induced to eat most any
thing while the carnivorous animals stick
to meat diet principally.
The issue of the supplies from the park
steward, or cook" as he is called, for the
lion house in one day showed total of $50
pounds of meat. This commodity, according
TO Mr.. Hornaday. has taken another stride
upward in price in the last two weeks.
OF course, the manner of buying meat,
which is purchased by the ton, keeps II
lower than otherwise, but even at that It
costs two cents more a pound now than il
used 10. The lion house takes in,s besides
the lions. tigers, pumas, leopards and jag
uars. the greatest meat eating animals in
the park. A normal day. though, sees the
consumption by all meat eating animals of
5s7 pounds.
The eighty-two varieties of food on the
menu include everything from puffed rice
TO horsefesh- The monkeys like eggs and
condensed milk, as well as apples and bana-
mas. In one day the cook" issued twelve
apples, eighty-five bananas, eight loaves Of
bread four cans Of milk and thirty-two
eggs TO the primates. Is there any wonder
why the enthusiastic youngsters who want
TO feed peanuts indiscriminately each Sun
day are forbidden TO do so?
II is when the elephant house is reached
that the daily stipend, especially tn vege-
tables, reaches a highwater mark. This
house takes in the "rhinos" and hippo"
and the tapirs, besides the three elephants.
The cook had to issue eighteen loaves of
bread sixteen quarts Of carrots. a dozen
heads of cabbage. many quarts of potatoes
and a goodly portion Of fruit on a normal
day recently. That was topped off, with
clover hay. One water soaked loaf of
bread for A hippopotamus with a dozen
loaf capacity wouldn't be any more rea-
sonable than one frog for a snake with a
1hirty-frog capacity.
