COMMONS PASS VETO PREAMBLE

unionist Party Makes Nc Opposition
10 First Portion Of Lords Bill.
London, May 1.-THE bill for the
curtailment of the powers of the house
of lords yesterday passed the commit
tee stage In the house OF commons
practically without amendment amidst
scenes of enthusiasm.
The refusal of A. J. Ba1four, leader
of the opposition, to vote against the
preamble to the veto bill removed any
danger that might have been appre-
hended from the revolt Of the laborites
against the preamble and this portion
of the measure, the consideration OF
which was regarded as the most critt-
cal test for the government proved
easiest to carry.
The unionist opposition to the bill
almost vanished. In place of hundreds
Of amendments which threatened to
delay proceedings In the committee
stage, only few, unimportant ones
mainly in the direction of urging joint
sittings or q conference of the two
houses in cases OF disagreement, will
be moved in the report stage of the
bill.
An amendment that the preamble be
eliminated, moved by George Nicoll
Barnes, the labor leader, who described
that portion OF the bill As inconsist-
ent with all the pledges and tents OF
the labor party, was defeated. 2ls to
AZ. $3.50 = -
There is no justification for the
house Of lords in any shape or form, :"
said Barnes. zone chamber Is quite
sufficient to enable the country to
carry out its own bill, and any attempt
at a reform Of that body would result

For averting . railroad disaster.
George Lloyd, an employe of the West

day presented with . check by the
directors Of the company In recogni-
ton Of his bravery. During q great
landslide near Aberdare, the Powell
Duffryn company's colliery tip or

the side of an adjoining mountain and
completely blocked the line. A train
from Swansea had just left Aberdare
and on discovering, the landslide

southern hotel, where those who seek

attention was suddenly attracted by
handsome couple that passed through
the hotel corridor, followed by little

to be too old to be the daughter OF

Fable on Jupiter and the Bee.


A bee from Mount Hymettus, the
queen of the hive, assembled to Olym-
pus to present to Jupiter some fresh
honey from her combs. Jupiter. de-
lighted with the offering of honey.
promised to give whatever SIZE should
ask. She therefore hesought him.
saying, "Give me, pray thee. q sting
that II any mortal shall approach to
take my honey. I may kill him"
Jupiter was much displeased, for he
loved much the race of man. but
could not refuse the request on &C.
count of his promise. He thus an.
swered the bee: you shall have
your request; but 1t will be at the
peril Of your own life. For II you use
your sting. 1t shall remain in the
wound you mako, and then you will
die from the loss Of It,"
