adn ' YEAR 77-NO. 74 KINGSTON, ONTARIO, W EDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1910, LAST EDITION EC -- AWAIT CRISIS That Will Follow If Veto Motion Carries. - WHAT WILL HAPPEN 4 WHE LORDS REFUSE THEIR CONSENT, Liberal Cabinet Would Kave to Re- signe--_ onservatives Not Prepared to Take Office~The King Would Have to Act, London, March 30.--The adoption of the resolutions of Premier Asquith to abolish the veto power of the house of lords may precipitate another poli- tieal and parlinmentary crisis. The re- jection of the resolution by the lords which is just as eertain as its ace ceptance by the commons, is likely to foreo the tabinet to offer its resigna- tion, Under ordinary conditions this would nat be so sericus, as the king could form an opposition cabinet, which, in this case, would probably be headed by former Premier Baliour. No conservative, however, could ae cept ministerial responsibility under present conditions, for, with the lib erals, laborites and Trish Nationalists against him, be would be voted out of pifice on the first ballot. Neither ean the ling very well adopt the other alternative of dissolving par linmerit and ealling for another . elec tion, for the liberals recently passed o resolution making financial appor- tionments for a period of six weeks This period is nearly up, and as it takes at least tix weeks to hold an election in England the government would be practically penniless if par linment. were suspended and another -elpction ealled. The only recourse left to the king is likely to be an appeal to the Mberals to continue in office, in which event the liberal programme of demanding that the king create enough liberal peers to ensure the passage of the veto abolition resolution is likely to be made a condition precedent to grant. ing the king's request. It is difficult to se how, in the face of such an emergency, the king could refuse the " liberals' demand. The Resolutions. Premier Asquith's resolutions are : "1, That it ie expedient that the house of lords be disabled, by law, 'eatnstetaetingotsmmunding bn a bills, but any such limitation by law shall not be taken to diminish or qualify the existing rights and pri: vileges of the house ul Senne, "For the purpose of this resolution n hill shall be considered a money hill if, in the opinion of the speaker, it containg only provisions dealing with all or any, of the following subjects, viz, the imposition, repeal, remission; alteration or segulation of taxation, the charges on the consolidation fund, or the wision of money by paria ment in supply, the appropriation, control' or regulation of public money the raising or guaranteeing of any loan or repayment thereof, or matters incidental to these subjects, or any of them. : "3 That it 1s expedient that the powers of the House of Lords, as .re- spects billy other than money bills, be restricted by law, so that any such bill which has passed the House of Commons in three sticcessive sessions, having sent up to the House of Lords at t one month before the end of the session, and which has been rejacted by that house in each of these spasions, shall become law without consent of the House of lords on the royal assent being de claved, provided that at lehst two years shall have elapsed bétween the date of the first introduction of the said bill in the House of Commons and the date on which it passes the House of Commons for the third time.

The Monk Section Say That Borden Has no Serious Standing as a Politician--They Have Been Long Dissatisfied. The Ottawa correspondent of Toronto News. writes : Despatches have gone out to different parts of the country dealing with the énternal aftairs of the conservative party. There is something behind all these statements, but pevhaps the exitt facts are not generally under stood. It is true that Mr. Monk and his followers have demanded the re- moval of Mr. Borden from the leader ship of the conservative party. Ever was appointed to the leadership Mr. Monk has been rest- less and dissatisfied. There are those who say that he has never been loyal. Jendership was hardly taken seriously. Even most conserva tives regard, him an academic dream- er, eapable of making a well-sounding specch on oceasion, but with no gifts of leadership, po personal magnetism and no serioud standing as a politi- cian.

He, there fore, demanded that the conservative party should absolutely oppose expen- ditures for naval defence, So certain was he that he could drive Mr. Bor- den and the conservatives of the Eng- lish-speaking provinces that he went the [to Lachine and made a speech which could foree on the op- But, contrary to expectation, the conservative by Mr. Borden, adopted. an 'naval policy, while the whole liberal press of Quebec, in- stead of patting Mr. Monk on the back 1d encouraging -Me, Bourassa, turned sn loyally to support the naval 'pro- gramme of the government. his left Nr.

When this has been done {admitted that there is no one in sight as capable as Mr. Borden to fill the office of leader, and certainly it is lm- possible for conservatives anywhere to necept the dictation of Mr. Monk. Failing to have his terms considered, Mr. Monk no doubt will withdraw from the party, temporarily drift more closely to the side of Mr. Bourassa or wll in behind Sir Willd Laurier. He has been a drag upon the conservative party ever since 1896, hopelessly du- competent both as an orgamizer and fichter, and loyal chiefly to his own prejudices and ambitions. . New York Tariff Comment New York, March 30.--The Times gays: There is one feature of the Canadian negotiations connected with the tariff, which is of extreme interest and importance. It is the fact that settlement has been reached through divect negotiation with the Canadian government. Since Uanada has the right, under its constitution, to levy its own taxes on foreign commerce, the course that has been followed is logical epough, but all the same it is novel and significant. The Tribune says: Critics of the Taft administration are doing their best to be cheerful over the announce ment that Canada will make sufficient tariff concessions to entitle its com- merce with the United States to the benefits of the minimum tariff sche dule. They publicly congratulate + copntry on the avoidance of tariff rve- isals; vet, secretly, no doubt, many of them bitterly regret the failure of the maximum-minimum plan to pro- duet those glireful results which they #0 volubly predicted would follow its enactment. * ' goin Power For Toronto.

TO INVESTIGATE REPORT Of Coal Mines Discovery in Northern Ositario. Toronto, March 30.--It was officially stated al the department of lands, forests and mines, thig morning, that no report had been reteived regardin the alleged discovery of large areas - coal in Northern Outario.

The official will siart to-morrow. If the repokt is con. firmed it is probable that the govern. ment will not allow any staking until a policy has been decided upon in re spect to the manner in which coal lands should be treated, It is under- stood the government would not treat the lands in the manner of ustal min: ing lands, but would adopt a distine- tive policy in the public interest, On Cana- ars such duty LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS Have Received Orders to Go to Their Posts, Amherstburg, March 30, «Orders are being received by lighthouse koepers from the Canadian governmest {o_ go to their posts, Capt.
