Opening Day Strenuous.

Every Unionist member has been re-
ouested 10 be present on the opening day,
and no pairs with opponents are being
granted, so il appears certain that the
Opposition plans to force the government
either 10 resign or 10 dissolve Parliament.
Dissolution, II will be remembered, is the
chief demand OF the Unionists However.
the Liberals Nationalists and Laborites
are lust as alert and with Premier As
o,;ith at their head feel pretty confident
of cncompa ssing any Unionist designs.
There is, however, also some danger FOR
the Unionists In the debate. The modi-
fcation of the policy OF tariff reform, in
dorsed by Mr.. Bonar Law, BY which food
taxes" are dropped. has not met with en-
tire satisfaction In the party. The farm
crs. largely Unionist. are asking why
they should be deprived OF that protec-
ton which they were told tariff reform
would give them, while the manufactur-
ers will receive IT. Unionist members for
agricultural districts lave been inundated
with protests. and il is probable that some
strong tariff reformer will move an amend
ment that will bring the question up. Then
Austen Chamberlain and other tariff re-
form stalwarts would come out In sup
pert Of the whole policy. which would be
a practical throwing over OF Mr.. Bonar
Law, Walter Long and other unlonist

Swedish Socialists for Peace.

Stockholm. Feb. S.-Thirty tnousaho
Swedish socialists held a demonstration
to-day here against the increasing ex-
penditure for ornaments. The Premier
NJ. Staaf, replied that in spite OF his SYM
pathy in the matter OF international peace
he was convinced that Sweden would nave
10 make new and great sacrifices Tor the
national defence. The government, now
ever. he added. was not inclined TO accede
TO the demands for a prolongation of the
service in the infantry until after the
general election.
on Friday there was great demonstra-
ton by thirty thousand small land own
ers and farmers from every part OF the
kingdom in favor OF the increase OF swed-
ish ornaments.

MOmentOus Session of Par
lament Opens Tomorrow
Ulster Question First.
HOME RULE BILL TO
BE PASSED INTO LAW
House of Lords to Take the Re-
markable Course Of Asking
for a Dissolution.

London. Feb. 9-The King will open
i'm state Tomorrow the most momen-
tous Parliamentary session in many
decades. one great issue will put
every other question into the shade.
Never before in living memoir has
Parliament met with the shadow Of
civil war darkening it.
Though there arc several very press
ing problcms. such as that Of the navy,
the South African doportations, the
Welsh Church bill and education, the
thought that will be ever present in the
minds OF all parties for months IS
whether the Home Rule bill will be
passed and the people of Ulster driven
to the extreme measures which they
have 50 loudly proclaimed they VIII
take by way of resisting it.
In view Of the gravity Of the ques-
ton I'm the official Unionist view the
House of Lords is taking the remark
able course OF raising an amendment 10
the address demanding a general cleo
ton. This amendment, which viii be
moved by Lord Middleton. is in the fol-
lowing terms:
This House regrets that the Sra-
cious speech from the throne contains
no mention Of any intention on the
part of his majestys government TO
obtain the sanction Of tho nation before
carrying into law grave changes in the
constitution.
In the House Of Commons the Right
Hon. Walter Long will begin the Union
list attack on the governments Homo
Rule proposals. 1t is not expected that
the mea sure itself will he reintroduced
before April. as Immediately after the
debate on the address is concluded the
House will have 70 spend some weeks
voting supplementary estimates for the
navy and passing large votes for the
services.
II is reported that the latest Union
ist device is to force a dissolution Of
Parliament and thus defeat Home Rule
by having the House of Lords reject
the annual army budget bill. IL this
Is done the army will cease to exist
and the government will be compelled
TO appeal to the country.
Ii is believed. however, that such an
extreme course is hardly practicable,
and the milder suggestion is said TO be
favored of amending the bill in such
manner as to put the army out Of ex-
istence in Ireland alone and thus pre-
vent il being employed 10 cOerce Ulster.
London, Feb. s.-Aftcr the longest vaca-
ton that members have enjoyed since the
Liberal party came into power more than
eight years ago, Parliament reassembles
on Tuesday for a session that promises TO
be full Of hard work and excitement.
There are not only tie Home Rule AMI
Welsh disestablishment bills. which come
up for third passage and then to become
law despite anything the Lords may do,
but there IS a great mass Of other bust
ness which will compel the government
to fight continuously to hold the conf
dence Of the House OF Commons. From
start 10 finish OF a session a British gov
ernment must keep on the alert 10 prevent
an adverse vote, which means the retire
ment of the ministry. The danger VIII
be more acute than ever during this ses-
