OVATION FOR AsQUITH
Premier Cheered When Veto Bill
Pn.scs Firnt Tending.

London. February 22.-Premier AS
quith was the recipient OF a tremcnd
GUS ovation from his supporters In the
House of Commons tonight when the
Parlilnent bill, otherwise known as the
veto bill, q measure designed to cur
tail the power Of the lords, was passed
on Its first reading by the governments
full, majority of l24, the vote being 3a1
TO 227
The Nationalists first rose In their
places. cheering wildly and waving
their hats The Liberal members quick
~ emulated their example. This eXhi-
bition Of enthusiasm was repeated a
few minutes later as the Prime Minis
ter quietly left the scene OF his victory
in his initial action against the Lords.
The debate 10 day maintained a good
,oratorical level but presented few
new points The dominant note Of the
JTnionist speeches was an invitation to
the government TO settle the matter By
agreements Frederick E. Smith, in a
slashing attack. accused the govern
ment OF outraging the convictions OF
half their fellow countrymen on mat
ter that could never be settled except
by consent. The British people, he said,
would support the opposition In any re-
sistance, however desperate they mi ght
offer TO the bill.
After q long period OF indecislon,
Lord Lansdowne. leader OF the oppo-
sition in the House OF Lords. to-day
gave notice OF bill for the reform OF
the upper hamber and meeting OF
the JTnionist members OF the House OF
Commons, which has been organized
for Tomorrow. to urge this course on
their peers and leaders. viii now merely
have the duty of congratulating Lans-
downe.
the iJJnionists as having completely
altered the situation. They contend
tha. this implies that the House of
Lords either will reject the veto bill
outright or introduce amendments that
1t will be impossible for the govern
ment to accept. with the result that
the government Will be compelled to
prorogue Parliament until after the
coronation, and then decide whether
to create sufficient number of peers
to force the bill through the House OF
Lords.
AS nothing is yet known Of the con-
tents Of Lord Transformers proposed
bill. nothing can be predicted with any
certainty. 1t is understood that Lans-
downe will propose not only to alter
tho constitution. but the powers of the
upper chamber, and an attempt will
be made to send the bill to the House
of Commons before or at the same
time the House of Commons sends the
veto bill to the upper chamber so tina
the two projects may be before the
country simultaneously.

ton and Lincoln met with a reception
here to-day such as was his when he
was President.
The former President gavc again his
definition OF 'nationalism." pleaded for
execution of duty In preference to de-
mand Of rights" and worked himself
into his former earnestness only when
addressing 1900 Boy Scouts in the
Board Of Trade Building.
While speaking at Hull House, a
tall Greek. in the uniform Of in
structor of the Scouts, by permission
addressed In his own tongue a pas
sionatc appeal to the former President
TO keep working for better citizen
ship, which was warmly chcered BY
the speakers fellows. y medal which
had been granted the speaker for some
feat OF the past was pressed Into Col
oncl Rooseveits hands as the Greek
withdrew.
The keynote Of Colonel Roosevelt

declared that. after all. the trouble
with this country was not big bust

public officers, etc. but the failure
through careicssness, interpretation or
lack OF understanding. to exercise his
individual duty TO himself and his
fellow-nen.
lie reiterated his previous state
ments that there were good and bad
men in corporations, and that the
wicked should be hunted down, indi-
viduall%. and he Insisted that Uncle
Sam should create rules OF business
that would take from organized mo-
nopoly the great advantage 1t had over
the ordinary citizen. lie then eX-
planned that the Uncle sam was none
other than the individual voter.
He denounced as traitor a man
who would sell his vote, or would buy
that OF another. declaring him Of
blacker stripe than Benedict Arnold.
He also likened TO the revolutionary
traitor the man who blackmaiied a
people or a corporation or an indi-
vidual. when the people had given
him whip hand TO hold over others.
Colonel Roosevelt will leave for New
York tomorrow.

In some quarters there still is a feel

House have been particularly optimis-

in less sanguine mood to- day than at
any time since reciprocity became an
issue. The situation In the Senate Is
practically without precedent. There
