rumor has /; that the Constitutional
difficulty will not he settled without
another general election. and that
this Will come sooner than has been
expected; possibly within two or three
months.
The rumor is more readily believed
In Unionist than I'm Liberal quarters,
and nothing definite can be ascertain
ed on the subject; but the Unionists
party is putting its house in order so
as to be in readiness for all emergenc-
les.
The greatest dissatisfaction has
been openly expressed within the
Unionist ranks since their last defeat
at the polls at the party organization
and committee sat for some time to
investigate the matter. one result of
these deliberations is that the chief
whip of the party is to retire and a
new post is to be created that OF chief
organizer.
For this office. Arthur Steel Matt
land, member Of Parliament for East
Birmingham, has been chosen. He is
one of the rising hopes of the unionist
party and strong tariff reformer.
He has been president of the famous
oxford Union. and also secretary TO
Austen Chamberlain. His selection to
fill such an important post shows that
the Protectionist wing of the party
is stil the most influential.
The Coronation honors' list provides
for the decent retirement of the party
whip, Sir Arthur Acland-Hood, VINO
receives peorage and goes to the up
per house. His successor as chief whip
is another young and popular member
OF the party. Lord Balcarres, member
for the Chorley division of Lancashire.
A most remarkable attack was
made on the king. charging his maJes-
ty with exaggerating the military as
pect of the coronation. bv Rev. Harry
Youlden the clergyman who occupies
the pulpit from which DIR Aked, since
OF New York and San Francisco, for
merlN preached in Liverpool
The attack took the form Of an
open letter read in tine course of a ser-
mon 1t began as follows: we owe
YOU no loyalty except so far as the
welfare of the nation depends on you.
IL we are cold amid the general cN-
citement of your coronation day, II IS
because we are not convinced that
the greatest duty of the nation Is
bound up with the throne. We are not
There are gralor mat
ters to attend to than the absurdity
of royal ceremonies have said this
much for the sake of sincerity, ana
that | might clear myself of the coms
pany of those who are now srovcling
before you and behaving like pagans
before a fetish"
Then the letter goes on: would 1t
make your coronation less real II you
were accompanied to the abbey by
men from the forge and the mine IN
stead of by troops? Although you.
choose to live for the world of soldlery
not by them Is your throne supported.
II Is open to you to be patron OF the
arts You have bestowed honors
which we at present dcspise because
they have been wrongly bestowed,
Meanwhile genius is starvinb
in its Notwithstanding unreeognizeu.
Painters, singers, actors, men OF sell
ece, have to sell their souls to make
living. Nothing, sir, in your empire ~
so cheap as brains and genius noth-
ing so easily dcspiscd by the vulgar
rich: nothing SO tragically misundcr-
stood and disregarded. You patr0nise
the turf and stimulate the multitude
to gamble on horses they never saw
Your private tastes are not my CON
Ger, but IL YOU are the head OF TINS
nation YOU must make yourself ac-
quainted with more than its jockeys.
The glory of kings in the past has
been too much the glory of the sword
and conquest. There Is greater glory
within your reach. If you have cour-
age and discernment."
The bitter controversy which has
ragged so long between anti-vivisection-
lists and scientists has reached rur-
ther stage through the firm attitude
of Lord Cromer who Is president OF
the Research Defense Society, in de-
clining to resign the vice presidency OF
the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals. His holding OF
office in the two societies was declar-
ed inconsistent by a resolution OF
smart majority at meeting of the
latter society.
Lord Cromer, IN reply, declared that
the magnificent results achieved by
the experimental method in the direc-
ton of saving the lives and preserving
the health of human beings and Of
animals had been proved conclusively.
He considered 1t calumny to accuse
the members of profession whose
main work in life was to relieve SUI
fering Of being Indifferent to the sut-
ferings of others, whether man or
brute. Facts were distorted in order to
hold up these to the unmerited odium
Of an uninformed public. During their
experiments pain was probably not
altogether absent but II was reduced
to q minimum. His duty and that of
the Research Defence Society he re-
sarded as clearly TO offer strenuout
opposition to any measures which
would retard the advance Of knowl-
edge
A notable accession to the strength
of the auxiliary coast defense forces
Of Great Britain has just been made
by the Admiralty. 1t takes the shape
of new class of naval reservists
formed of the shippers Of fishing traw-
lers who are to be employed in times
Of naval hostilities in searching the
shallow waters In the vicinity of the
ports and of fleets at anchor for minec.
The totai of this reserve has been ilxde
for the present at 800, but II Is expect
ed that during wartime the figure
would be greatly extended. The men
are thoroughly acquainted with the
coasts around the British Islands, and
they are to receive a short annual
training in,their duties of mine-sweep-
ing. Otherwise they are to be regard
ed as -combatant force.
