HOUSE OF COMMONS
ADJOURNSINUPROAR
Government is Defeated in Vote
on Home Rule and General
Election is Probable

LONDON, Nov l1.-Ireland's
chances OF winning self-goyernment
in the near future were gravely jeo-
pardized this afternoon by the pas
sage in the house Of commons of a
bill. 22S to 206.
After a hurriedly called cabinet
meeting following the commons adj
journment the leaders OF the Lioer-
ais. who with the Irish and labor
members support the bill, announced
that the administration would not re-
sign. They contended that the vote
was not truly representative OF the
commons but snap DIVISION engi-
neered by the anti-home rulers.
The consensus Of political opinion,
however. was that the cabinets loss
OF prestige viii prove fatal and that
its resignation cannot be avoided as
soon as the European international
situation is little less strained
The administration was defeat
ed in the house OF commons to-
day by vote OF 228 to 206
on the clause OF the Irish home
rule bill. II the usual course Is fol-
lowed. the administrator will resign
and a general election will follow. I'm
less IL results in a victory for the Lab
erals, who are now in power. home
rule will be lost The commons ad.
journed in wild excitement
The question on which today's vote
was taken, was an amendment to the
home rule bill offered by Sir Fred.
erick Banbory. a Conservative, pro-
viding that, IN case ireland proved I'M.
able TO support itself by local taxation
and had 70 cHff OFT the Imperial gov
eminent for assistance. the amount be
limited to Sl2,500,0OO Premier As
quith, said this was too little-that
$50 900 900 might be needed.
The Conservatives leaped to their
benches when the result OF the vote
was announced, screaming: RE.
! sign Resign,"
a cabinet meeting was hurriedIv
called To consider the situation. In
| trinsically the amendment was not
considered important, but from the
governments standpoint, IL was vital
The general impression was that
the cabinet will resign as soon as the
Balkan crisis has passed, which wiz
mean the death OF home rule unIess
the Liberals win again at the polls
Even Liberals said they considered
such a victory doubtful.

SOME EARTHQUAKES.

Last Thursday night Bishop was
visited by quite heavy earthquake.
While very little damage was done.
several windows were broken, and
in some of the stores and private
houses croekery was shaken from
the shelves and broken. Since that
time there have been several more
shocks felt in the northern end of
the county.
We have no information concern
ing the sdirect cause of the quake.
The Bishop papers did not make
mention of it. 1t may be cause
of too much virtue. That reminds
us of the verse that was written
in San Francisco after the big
earthquake there:
If, as some say, God sent the quake
Because the town was frisky,
why did it burn the churches down
And save Hotaling's whisky

She WANTED A
DIVORCE BECAUSE
HUBBY STORED

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Jan. 49,
A bride is justified in leaving her
husband when she learns that the
stories he told previous to marriage
regarding his financial condition,
good habits, etc. are untrue, but it
does not constitute grounds for an
annulment. according to decision
by Judge Munroe in the divorce
court.
The ruling was made in the case
OF Johanna Edwards, who was de-
MED decree from r. d. Edwards.
The plaintiff averred that Edwards
had told her that he had property
in Nevada worth $1,000; that he
had good habits and that his family
at that time consisted of but one
child. All of these assertions, she
claimed, we're found to be false.
