caused a momentary cessation Of the
verbal tornado and AsQuith got out a
couple OF sentences, asserting that the prin-
ciple OF the parliamentary bill was af-
firmed as far back as 1907 and afterwards
was confirmed at the general election.
Interruptions followed the unionists
shouting cannot we hear the dictator7"
Asquith went on:
THE House of Commons carried a reso-
luton in favor Of the bill in 1910 by a large
majority, and but foP the death Of King
Edward"
Keep the king out of poitics;' "who
killed him--you did, resounded in the
opposition benches.
King George InterVenes.
LONDON. July 24.-King George has
actively INTERVIEWED in an attempt to steer
the warning political factions to peaceful
goal None is more anxious than he to
avoid swapping the historic house of peers
with a battalion of new creations, and IL
his personal friends influence can effect
it he will arrange some plan for over
coming the present deadlock.
The political situation is so out OF gear
that the king postponed his intended de-
parture for Goodwood, where he was going
today to visit the duke of Richmond and
attend a four days race meeting.
II was announced that his majesty would
not leave the capital until the probable
outcome of the unionist insurrection
against the governments plan for enacting
the veto bill could be clearly determined
Premier Resumes HIA Talk.
During the next lull the premier re-
sumed: ..-
But for the death Of the king and the
temporary truce (cries of a bright sort
of trucer), it would have been passed at
that session through all Its stages. The
constitutional conference proved that with
the best will a settlement by agreement was
impossible. This bill was presented to the
lords. 1t was laid aside in favor of an
alternative scheme put forward by Lord
Lansdowne on behalf of the responsible
leaders of the opposition"
The premier referred to criticisms Of the
lords amendments and said:
| "A situation has been created (cries Of
by. RedmondC, from which there Is only
constitutional escape. That is unless the
lords consent to restore this bill with. II
| you like, reasonable amendments consistent
with its principle and purpose we shall
! be compelled to invoke the prerogative Of
| the crown"
| At this declaration the tumuit was ye-
newed in all its early strength. There were
I shouts of "Shamel Redmond you are dis
graced; you are no prime minister"
AS Asquith concluded and sat down he
received an ovation from his supporters.
Mr.. Balfour then rose and cries of
"hushl" came from the ministerial benches
and the stiffness was marked.
Adjournment Is Taken.
IT frankly regret that I was unable to
hear. the prime minister" began the oppo-
| sition leader. Everybody will understand
that such proceedings as those in which
his majesty's ministers have INDUCED can
not but excite the deep and passionate
feelings of the great mass of the COM
munity.
Nevertheless my own feeling is that
however deep and passionate may be the
resentment produced by that line OF policy,
however deep and just may be the in
dignation which we feel against those re-
sponsible for 1t In this house, at any rate.

Here Home Secretary Churchill inter-
rupted with: .. 4... ..... ,s~. . /,
WHO set the example2'
The unionist had advised Balfour to ig-
more Churchill. but the leader declined
the suggestion and said: s g. l .,
II remember him when he was the. ring
leader OF gang Of disturbers." ~
| Balfour continued; The government
has by this one stroke misused the pTeroga-
tive. Of the crown TO destroy the second
chamber. The premier has arroeated to
himself by the advice which he gave the
crown the powers which no republican die
tatOr has possessed! He has put himself
above the constitution" -"

erick e. Smith tried to speak, but the
radicals howled him down and the speaker
suspended the sitting until tomorrow
