Ing. The session proved a somewhat
tame affair after the great debate in
the House Of Commons yesterday.
Baron st. Davids. who has gained
reputation for outspokenness since he
became member of the upper cham
ber. started the discussion by de-
manding that a full meeting OF the
pTivy council. which IS composed OF
some hundreds OF members from all
parts OF the empire. should be called
to discuss the present position of
affairs. Unlike most OF the critics OF
the government. he believed that the
war should have been better conduct
ed by the late Liberal government
than by the present coalition. The
late government. he said. carried on
the war with great vigor. while. since
the coalition was former no eNtraor-
dinary vigor was noticeable He de-
olared that those who have made mis-

Viscount Morley OF Blackburn depre-

American farmers are surely destined to
feed the worlds children during the

One hundred and fifty thousand men
from every state of the Union have
invaded these Western sections and are

BILE With Boilers Reported
by Captain. 49, r.:

SanFrancisco, Dec. 14.-United
States District Attorney John w.
Preston stated tonight that$the reder-
al inquiry into the disabling Of the
Hill liner, Minnesota, so far had found
nothing that indicated any .tampering
with the boilers of the steamer. The
statement of the district attorney was
made during recess into the inquiry
which is being held aboard the steam
er. .. ..}. 49, -'. D.. "
The inquiry convened shortly after
the arrival of the vessel in San Frar'
cisco harbor on high tide late today.
The inquiry was attended by Mr..
Preston, who presided, Joseph ].
Doland and James Guthrie, United
States inspector of hulls and boilers.
and was held in the cabin of Capt.
Garlick, who, with the Minnesota's
chief engineer, was called into con.
sultation.
Captain Can't Explain.
Capt. Garlick is reported 10 have
told the district attorney that he was
absolutely in the dark as to the cause
of the series of accidents which beset
the Minnesota, causing her to return
after the vessel was we'll started upon
it's contemplated trip, to the United
Kingdom.
The CAPTAIN said that there had
been trouble caused by fire In coal
bunkers and that one W;G Still burn
ing but was under control. One fire,
he said. had eaten through parti-
ton into store room and caused
considerable damage. Several slight
explosions occurred, he said, but lie

He said he thought they resulted
from gases generated by the burning
coal. So far as was made known, no
person aboard the vessel was unu~r
arrest or in irons and the ship diff
cultes were entirely attributed to a
natural mechanical break down.
