LORDS PASS VETO BILL.
No Revolt of Insurgent Persia
Lone Star in the Upper
House.

The British House Of Lords passed
the third reading of the parliament
bill, otherwise known as the veto bill,
without division yesterday, after only
three hours debate. The revolt Of the
insurgent peers failed to materialize.
All threats OF the extremist lords to
throw out the bill at this stage and
precipitate crisis proved bluff. One
solitary peer, Baron Stanmore, raised
his voice to demand a vote, but found
no supporter.
The future of the measure may be
predicted with reasonable certainty.
Premier Asquith, in the Commons ON
Monday, will move the rejection of the
lords amendments en- bloc. This done
the prime minister will announce that
if the lords persist there will be no
course open for him but to tender to
the king certain advice which will in
sure the passage OF the bill. 1t would
not be in accordance with constitutional
etiquette to specify the nature OF the
advice, but everyone will understand
that this means the creation OF liberal
peers.
The House OF Lords will meet on
Wednesday or Thursday, and Lord
Lansdowne will move the acceptance OF
the bill, predicting its repeal as soon as
the unlonists return to office. II the
extremists rally around Halsbury and
vote for the rejection Of the bill Lord
Lansdowne is expected to summon his
followers to vote for it. Its not antlcl-
pated that Halsbury will fud more
than so, prehaps not more than a
score, to make the last stand, and the
greatest constitutional revolution in
almost century will be accomplished.
Three considerations have impelled
the peers to swallow this bitter medi-
cine-a desire to save their own caste
from cheapening, to shield the king
from an embarrassing position, and to
prevent the immediate enactment Of
extreme radical measures, such as home
rule and the establishment OF the
Welsh church. What the ultimate ef-
feet OF the humiliation will be Oh the
unionist party lies in the future. That
leadership might have pre-
vented it no one denies. Who will be
the final scapegoats il the question.

FIRE ENGINE TESTED.
Columbia Engine FuIfills all Expec-
.tations---Sends Water $50 feet
Three Squares from River.

A large crowd Of people gathered
at the intersection OF Cameron and
Fairfax streets shortly before seven
o'clock yesterday evening to witness
the test Of the power Of the Columbia
steam fire engine. AS was announced
in the Gazette, the test was made by
the Chief Engineer OF the Fire De-
partment and the members Of the
Board OF Fire Wardens to demonstrate
the utility of the engine in drawing
water from the Potomac river and
throwing the same in the event Of q
fire. The test was satisfactory in
every particular, as water was forced
from the river at toe foot Of Cameron
street, as far west as Fairfax street
distance OF three squares, and streams
sc mt as high as the roof OF the Brad
dock House. A pressure OF 22O
pounds was used from one inch nozzle
and water was thrown half square
about $50 feet.
The officials are satisfied from the
test that should fires occur anywhere
in the city east OF Patrick street water
from the Potomac could be used to ex-
tinguish them. The Reliance Com
pany carries to fires screw aud jaw
coupling which will be used to form re-
lays should occasion require the same.
There is every reason to believe that
the Reliance engine will prove equally
as satisfactorily with the river from
which to draw water, while the reserve
engine will show almost equal power.
The officials OF the FIRE department
we're led to make the test from the
fact that this city and section are suffer
ing from a prolonged drought which
renders it necessary not to draw
too heavily upon our reservoirs.

WANTS RATE INCREASED.
Washington.SOuthern Anxious to
Charge so Gents Between Wash
ington and Alexandria.

Although by the decision Of th,
Court OF Appeals OF Virginia in session
at Wytheville some time ago, tht
Washington-Southern Railway was re
fused permission to charge maximum
passenger rate OF cents per mile, tn,
officials OF the road hope to get wha
they regard rs an adequate Richmond
Washington rate by charge Of 81
cents 70. the run between Alexandra
and Washington. This would make
the fare So. 90 between Washington and
Richmond, or within 80 cents of the
fare now charged for the interstate
journey. Officials OF the road appeared
before the commission in Washington
yesterday in support Of the petition.
A petition was filed by the road with
the commission asking permission to
be allowed to charge tariff OF 80 cents
per passenger between the cities men
toned. 1t is claimed that the terminal
charges at the Union Station are very
heavy. In fact, it was testified at the
Washington Southern rate hearing be-
fore the State Corporation Commission
that this charge reached about % cents
for each passenger.
By means OF such rate the Wash
ington- Southern would be rid OF the
vexing Alexandria situation, which has,
it is claimed, caused no end Of trouble
and loss to the road and to the con-
ductors, and by means Of which many
thousands of passengers have saved
money on their journeys between Vir-
ginia points and Washington. The
former rate. in effect until recently,
was 2 cents per mile in Virginia, and
it was the habit of the travellers north
bound to purchase tickets to Alexan-
dria and then pay the conductor 20
cents for the trip across the Potomac,
and, they thought, through the tun
nels into the Union station. This
made n total cost of $40 between
Richmond and Washington. South
bound a ticket would be bought to
Alexandria, and the deal made With
the conductor for the fare the rest of
the way.
Claiming that it was put to much
expense and loss OF fares which should
belong to it from interstate passenger
traffic in consequence Of this practice,
the Washington-SoutLern filed its
petition with the State Corporation
Commission, asking to be permitted to
increase its passenger rate from ? to 8
cents per mile. 1t was stated that it
was not its aim to increase the cost
to intrastate passengers, but it was
feared that az a result OF the 2 cent
rate it might be compelled by the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
make basic rate in Virginia Of 2
cents for through passengers.
