London, Oct. A-The British Parlia-
ment reassembles on Monday, and the
questions Of vital importance which
will come before the House of Com
mons are likely to make the session
memorable. On Thursday next the
closure resolution allocating the time
TO be given to the Home Rule bill will
be moved. 1t is certain to receive fierce
opposition from the Conservative party
and probably will lead to a repetition
OF the scenes which marked the discus
sion OF Gladstone's Home Rule bills Of
1886 and 1S93.t9 80 ~, .s.a .,.....-. ,..s..
The first shot in the battle is likely
to be fired Immediately Sir Edward
Carson enters the House on Monday.
Jerry MacVeagh, not the least bolster
Gus member OF the Irish Nationalist
party has intimated his intention Of
whistling God Save the King" as Sir
Edward walks down the floor of the
House, this piece Of sarcasm being
prompted by the fact that during Car
sons recent tour in Ulster he was often
called King Carson"
1t Is the governments intention to
pass the Home Rule bill through the
Commons before Christmas, and if pos
sible its other vital measures, such as
the Welch Church disestablishment
bill and the manhood suffrage bill, all
OF which are sure to be fought to the
last ounce of the Tory strength. The
party whips have issued strong appeals
to members to be in their places all
day and every day, ready at all times
for crisis.
Persian Debate Inevitable.
It is expected that thirty to forty
days will be allocated TO the Home Rule
bill, and it is feared that other ques-
tions, such as the now inevitable de-
bate on Persian affairs, for which the
extreme Radical section has been press
ing, and the general international stu
alton, may require consideration.
The operation Of the insurance act is
sure to be brought forward, and one
day is certain. 10 be allotted to the
continuance of the debate on the Mar
conf agreement. This last. too, is likely
10 raise storm of considerable anagni-
tude. Hard things will be said about
the part the government has played in
making its agreement with the Mar
conf company. One Of the allegations
to be made is that the basic patent on
which the Marconi system is founded
expires eighteen months hence, whereas
the contract signed binds the govern
ment TO pay the royalty for twenty
eight years. ~
For some time past sinister rumors
have been afioat in the city TO the ef-
feet that government officials have
made money out of deals in Marconi
stock, which has been one of the feat
ures Of the market for the last year
The stock skyrocketed up without any
apparent sound reason and was the
leading feature of the market for sew
seems to have been punctured, the
shares falling TO what may be regarded
as a reasonable price.
End May Be Near.
The whole beisiness Of the initiation
Of prices and the contract Of the gov
eminent, the details of which were
kept secret, but which were traded On
for months, seems to require thorough
investigation. There is but little doubt
that this investigation will be speedily
forthcoming, as eight members of the
Liberal party in the House of Com
mons. headed by Sir Henry DalzieI,
are going TO meet to discuss the whole
question and take steps for strong
Parliamentary action, which the gov
eminent must submit to when demand
ed by such a strong section from its
own ranks.
II would not occasion much surprise
il the coming momentous session
marked the end OF the present Liberal
government Its majority is already In
process OF disintegration. The Labor
party. upon which the government re-
lied for it's big coalition majority, is
showing obvious signs Of revolt. This
has been strongly evidenced in recent
by-elections, where Labor candidates
have opposed the government nomi-
nees. In several instances the Con-
servatives have gained seats, and in all
