the blow he received when some one
threw book at him during yester-
days uproar In the house of COM
mons over the home rule BILL
The fourth cabinet meeting in as
many days was held during the fore
noon to consider the situation. It
was admitted that the administration
was at its wits end concerning the
best course to pursue in view Of its
opponents ayowed determination to
continue their campaign OF violence
until the ministry resigns.
The conservatives contention is
that the liberals have no right to
continue in Office, having been out
voted on clause of the home rule

cd of compelling them to comply with
established precedent is justifiable.
1t was admitted that, II they create
such scenes of disorder indefinitely

the transaction of legislative business
will be impossible. The situation
was so tense that personal encounters
on the floor of the house were looked
