 Miss Helen Harvest played the part of the heiress in very acceptable style, combining grace of person with a con ception of the role she essayed which seemed to meet all requirements. liar old Russell as the grand duke presented a most interesting type with excellent judgment
 The various English aristocrats in the play were rather thankless parts at best and with the possible exception of Echlin P. Gayer as the Hon. Almeric St. Aubyn, who more or less seemed to look the part. they were not presented in a very convincing way. However, it was Pike and the girl and the grand duke who really counted and thanks to those three ",rhe Man From Home made a strong appeal to the sympathies. The play it. self could hardly be improved.

Tn the statement he declares Senator LaFollette became presi- dential candidate after Colonel Roose- welt absolutely had declined to do SO, and said the former President had sent a common friend to MT. LaFollette urging him to announce his candidacy.
 Those opposed to Senator Latoi- lette and the things for which he stands" continued the statement, be came alarmed at the rapid development of his campaign in Ohio and the method pursued to hinder it was by interpos- ing Colonel Roosevelts name into the campaign and starting movement for his nomination. This was done not by men who are favorable to progressive principles. The most notable and prom inent one was Dan R. Hanna"
 MT. Houser declared that an attempt was made whereby delegates in Ohio should be supported by the combined LaFollette and Roosevelt forces, but that Senator LaFollette refused to agree to this. He also stated that Senator LaFollette would be able to do active work within short time and that he has no notion of withdrawing.

 IS GOOD SPIRITS Parliament to Deal With
 Five Measures LIBERALS CONFIDENT Feel Sure That Operation of Insur- ance Act Will Regain Them. Lost Favor-Secrecy in Regard
 to New War Ship

London, February 15.-(Special.)- hat ever justification there may be for it, there is no question that as to the time for parliament to convene draws near 4$the -unionsts are in better spirits than they have been at any time since the fight against yd-Georges famous budg- ct was begun. This confidence is in a measure justified by elections which have occurred since this parliament came into being, all of which have resulted in heavy unonist gains.
 The liberal leaders, however, show no signs of trepidtion. They regard the present reaction as natural result of putting upon the statute books so stu surance bill, a necessarily complicated measure, subject to all sorts of misun derstandng. They feel assured that when the insurance act once Is under operation and the people realize the enormous benefits they are to derive from 1t they will flosS to the support of the government.
 On February IA the King. will open parliament, and the session will begin with the announcement of a programme The measures which must be dealt with are five and five onxy:
 Home rule, Welsh dsestablishment the suffrage, a railway bill, the budget.
 To these the government is pledged, and clearly they are enough. Conserva tive prophets have convinced themselves that the government will tamely break up oyer home rule about the month of June. have high ministerial authority for stating that the main principles of the home rule bill were settled by the cabi net before ministers separated.
 Nor was there the slightest difficulty in obtaining a united decision upon them In framing such measure details, and doubtless important details, are discussed and rediscussed until the very date of the bill's production. But the alleged split between the cabinet is sheer in- vertion.
 Nor are there any signs of a rupture between the cabinet and the nationalist party. The split" over "women's suf- frage may also be dismissed The situa- tion remains precisely where it was left by the prime minister's reply to the great deputaton which waited on him three months ago The home rule bill will be introduced early, and will be kept on the floor of the house with a generous but comprehensive time table.
 The great difference between this home rule bill and it's two predecessors will lie In the inclusion of the principle of home rule all around It is this factor that will transform the atmosphere in which the bill is debated.

MT. Balfour, although he has resigned unionist leadership, may take office again if the unionists return to power He would be prepared, it is said, and would even desire to take office in the new ministry. If his wishes alone were to be consulted, he would probably select a department which has direct concern with the problems of Imperial defense, the admiralty or the war office, for in- stance This perhaps would be only natural. as his great services on the committee of imperial defense are well known and appreciated in the inner na- val and military circles.

 Great secrecy Is being observed by the
 naval authorities regarding the construc-
 tion of a new super dreadnaught bat
 tieship, at present unnamed, at Ports
 mouth backyard. No pressmen or pho tographers were permitted to be present
 at the ceremony of laying the first keel plate, which was performed privately by the Hon. Evelyn Moore. sister of Ad- miral Sir Arthur Moore. commander in cls,ef at Portsmouth. No details have been allowed to transpire as to the ship but it is known that. besides being the largest, the new ship will also be the fastest and most powerful battleship
 ever laid down for the British navy. It
 is the first of five armoured vessels pro
 vjded for in the 19l1-12 navy estimates.
 Her main armament will consist of 10 15
 inch guns. mounted in five centre line
 turrets and, although the weapons are of the same size as those in the Orion, they are of a more powerful type. The guns of the Orion fire shells of 12o0 pounds; while those of the new ship and her sisters will fire 1400 pound projec- tiles The result is that the new ves- sels will have a broadside fire of 14.0o0 pounds of metal. as compared with 12,50O pounds in the Orion group. The battle 1 ships of the 1912 programme also mark l a striking advance in the defense of i British ships against the attacks of hos | tile torpedo craft. Instead of mounting | four inch guns. as in earlier units. they | will have six inch weapons for this pur- pose. which fire a shell of 100 pounds, as compared with only s1 pounds for the l smaller gun. The reason for this Is that l in recent years torpedo craft have grown | so rapidly Ten years ago. when the boats displaced only about 250 to 300 tons. | 12 pounder guns were regarded as suf-
 ficient to stop and disable them. When l the size of destroyers increased to 300 or GOO tons the 12 pounder was abandoned | in favor of the 3l pounder, and now. | when 1000 tons is quite an average dis | placement for modern torpedo craft. the
 six inch gun has become a general fla
 vorite for ''stoppinr'' purposes.

In colonial circles the question Is al- ready being canvassed as to the date on which their majesties will pay state visit to the white dominions of the em- pire, Such a visit would be quite in ac- cord with King Georges view of his re- responsibilities, and the arguments in fa- vor of it far outweigh the practical in- conveniences It is quite certain, how ever that their majesties will never he able to repeat their long cruise in the Phir, and that any imperial visits that they may undertake in the future will have to be carried out piecemeal.
 There Is good ground for anticipating that the first dominion to receive this distinction will be Canada, but 1t will be quite impossible to think of such project for the next IS months, at least The question Is bound up with that of Sthe imperial wanderings of the Prince of Wales, and as to all this noth- ing can be said to any purpose until the King has made a careful review of the whole situation.
