EXPECT ELECTION SOON

LONDON, July Sin political circles
rumor has IL that the constitutional diff
ficulty will not be settled without an
other general election. and that this
will come sooner than has been ex-
pected; possibly within two or three
months.
The rumor Is more readily believed in
unionist than in liberal quarters. and
nothing definite can be ascertained on
the subject; but the unionist party is
putting its house in order SO as to be
in readiness for all emergencies.
The greatest dissatisfaction has been
openly expressed within the unionist
ranks since their last defeat at the
polls at the party organization. and a
committee sat for some time to investf-
gate the matter. One result of these
deliberations is that the chief whip OF

rising hopes Of the unionist party and a
strong tariff reformer. He has been presi-
dent Of the famous Oxford Union, and
also secretary to Austin Chamb erlain. His
selection to fill such an important post
shows that the protectionist wing OF the
party is still the most influential.
The coronation honors' list provides for
the decent retirement of the party whip,
Sir Arthur Asland-Hood. who receives q
peerage and goes to the upper house. His
successor as chief whip is another young
and popular member of the party, Lord
Balcarres. member for the Chorley divi-
