TO STUMP FOR RECIPROCITY
Canadian Parliament Adjourns
Members Start on Campaign.

Ottawa May 20-Parliament has ad-
journed. finishing practically all the bust
ness of the session except the passage OF
the bill ratifying reciprocity. The House
Of Commons adjourned until July is and
the Senate until August 9.
Both Liberal and Conservative members
have returned to their constituencies TO
begin the campaign on reciprocity. Both
sides have arranged programmes of meet
ines covering practically the whole recess.
The Liberal members will conduct a cam
paign OF education In favor OF the ratltica-
ton Of the reciprocity pact. and the Oppo-
sition members will endeavor to arouse the
country against IT.
TIE Opposition leader, Mr.. Borden leaves
next month for a three weeks tour OF the
Canadian West He will speak at two
meetings each day, and II is reported that
he will have a lively tour, as the grain
growers are organizing pro-reciprocity
demonstrations at each speaking point
The attitude Of the Opposition toward
ratification OF the agreement when the
House resumes in July will enable the gov
eminent within a short time to decide
whether IL will attempt 10 force vote
this autumn or dissolve Parliament and
appeal 10 the country in general election
with reciprocity as the issue.

EARL GREY CRITICISED
Canadian Senator Thinks the Governor
General Is Lax in His Duties.

Ottawa, May 20.-Earl Grey Governor
General Of Canada and personal represen-
tatiye OF King George, was criticised In
the Senate yesterday by Mr.. Power for
not attending in person when acts OF Par
Lament are given the stamp OF royal au-
thority "A function which Earl Grey has
delegated to the chief justice OF Canada.
Il am a very strong believer In British
connection" said Senator Power. Il should
very much regret that the present practice
o. having the Governor General come from
England be discontinued. ] am altogether
opposed 10 the idea OF our becoming indie
rendent and separated from the mother
country.
The connection which now exists is not
any TOO strong, and | would regret that
arything should occur which would tenn
10 weaken the silken tic The fact that
the gentleman who represents the crown
here apparently is DESTROYS of showing that
ne is not necessary. and that We can get
chief justice Of the Supreme Court to
discharge his most important functions. Is
really doing a good deal 20 teach the peo-
pie OF the country that we don't want n
Governor General from England"

AIN At WH|STLER'S FAME
Dealers May Offer Sketches as
Work of His Teachers"
GREAVES'S IMITATION CRUDE
His Statement That He Preceded
American in One Theme Is
Not Corroborated.
TBy Cable 10 The Tribune. I

London. May 2O-The publicity COM
manded by Walter Greaves's crude imi-
tation Of Whistler is stimulating the dis
oovery OF collections. In Chelsea there
are rumors that speculative traders have
obtained control Of fresh lots Of sketches
and etchings and will market them as
the work OF Whistler's boatmen pupils
who taught him more than they learned
from him. The effect Of such exhibit
lions can hardly fail to be injurious to
Whistler's fame. His friends are scruti-
MIXING the evidence OF Walter Greaves's
pre- Whistler period.
Greaves Is quoted in the Goupil cata-
logue as stating that the picture "Barges
Passing Under Bridge" was exhibited
at South Kensington In 1862, in Allen
Coles room. with several Whistlers. II
that was true Whistler's picture THE
Bridge" now in the TAFT Gallery. was
painted after Greaves had found and
treated the subject.
South Kensington officials state that
the catalogues of the 1869 show do not
contain the entry, and Allen Cole. after
examining the records. denies that the
picture Of the barges was in the room
with Whistler's.

CLASH OVER LORDS BILL
Week May See the Beginning OF
a Stubborn Contest.
DILATORY TACTICS POSSIBLE

Mood, Wishes Constitutional
Controversy Ended.
BY Cable TO The Tribune. J

London. May 20.-Momentous as are
the issues between the houses OF Parlia-
ment. politics are neglected in the
pageantry and social excitement of the
most brilliant season London has ever
known.
Lord Transformers bill will be read Tor
the second time on Monday, after the
government peers have walked out OF
the House and irreconcilable Tories nave
expressed their dissent. II is not likely
TO emerge from committee. The Oppo-
sition leaders will he satisfied with iorc-
ing the government bill out
BY formulating definite REFORM
scheme the Parliament bill will be car
ried to the second reading by Lord Nor
ley, and Lord Haldane will take charge
of IL in committed Even If Lord CreWe
returns to the House after Whitsuntlde,
Hotspurs on the Unionists side are talk
ing confidently of the certainty of de-
feating the measure, and prominent
members of the upper house are declar-
Ing that surrender is impossible.
MIR. Balfour has stopped with the de-
mand that a referendum on Home Rule
shall be the price paid for the accept
ance of the Parliament bill. This was
the point on which the conference broke
down last November. Mr.. Redmond
vetoed the demand then. and would do 1t
again.
The Lords will challenge the govern
ment TO create five hundred puppets. II
they make determined fight for the
refer endum on Home Rule they are more
likely to employ dilatory tactics and to
attempt to wear out the patience Of the
Prime Minister by prolongation Of the
session.
The spirit of the coronation season Is
against them. The country Is weary Of
the constitutions! controversy. and is
impatient with the mischievous activi-
ties and with disturbers Of the peace.
