THE MOKSLMi OKHiliOAIAN, WEDNESDAY, JDECE3IBEK 12, 1U. ISSUE IS JOINED 'BETWEEN HOUSES Commons Will Reject All the Lords' Amendments to Education Bill. CRISIS IN GREAT BRITAIN Last Efforts at Compromise Which Will Prevent Struggle With Aristocracy Hcaly Takes hides With Lords. IXDXDON", Dec. 11. In moving In the House of Commons this afternoon that the question of agreement or disagree ment with the House of Ijords amend ments to the education bill be put with respect to the amendments as a whole. Premier Campbell-Bannerman informed the House that his motion Indicated the manner in which the government thought the action of the Lords should be treated. Way Open for Harmony. The bill, he added, had been perverted to a purpose directly antagonistic to that with which It had been sent to the upper house. The government did not desire to shut the door against a compromise. He hoped the opposition would leave the way open, so that certain modifications could be arranged, bringing the goern ment's hill in closer harmony with the friends of denominational education. The Premier's motion was carried by 31" to S!) votes. It was then moved "that the House do disagree with the Lords amendments.-' The debate continued all the evening. Before adjourning the Pre mier announced that, if desired, two more days would be given to the discus sion of the Lords' amendments to the bill. Kffnrts to Compromise. Efforts are still being made to reach a compromise. Mr. Campbell-'Bannernian had an Interview with the archbishop of Canterbury yesterday and numerous in lormnl conferences between political lead are being held. Some influential Liberals remain hopeful, but, speaking fenerally. there is little hope of the pos sibility of any arrangement. A. J. Balfour, who is credited with the practical leadership of the opposition in the House of Lords, has shown an ir reconcilable attitude throughout and this Is believed to militate against a com promise, more especially after the deci sion of the government to reject the lords' amendments en bloc. Besides being unprecedented, it is regarded by Conser vatives as a studied insult to the House Df Ix)rds. I'ccrs on Side of Constitution. Tn the debate In the House of Commons ,-estorday. Timothy M. Hcaly, speaking with considerable acidity, although as an opponent of the House of Lords, declared I hat the "extraordinary procedure adopted by the government had put the peers on the side of the English constitu tion." He also warned the government to beware that it did not make the House of Commons the "doormat tor the House of Jxrds." and added that the govern ment had saved time but had lost the day. . ...... Lord Rosebery, speaking at Edinburgh on this same subject last night, declared that the English people would prefer the existing ltou.se of Lords to none at all. He said he was in favor of amending the present status of the upper house and opposed to its abolition. WILL NOT L.OWEU BARRIERS Appeal for Relief of German Meat Famine Is in Vain. BERLIN, Dec. 11. The Reichstag to day discussed interpellations of the gov ernment on the meat scarcity in Ger many, Introduced by the Radicals and Socialists. The Chancellor was asked whether the government was willing to Improve the situation by opening the frontiers to the Importation of cattle and ly the abolition of or reduction of the duties on animal foods. Herr Weimer, Radical, cited the whole pale price of meat in Germany as 22'i cents a pound, while in Belgium it was 14 cents, in Spain 13 cents, in France M cents, in England 13' cents, in the United States 13 cents and in Russia 9Ms cents. He added that the various peti tions and complaints of the commercial chambers and town councils were the best arguments that the whole popula tion felt the meat scarcity. He further asserted that the meat consumption, which was over -10 pounds per head in Ceimany in 1904, was only a little over Sti pounds per head In 1906, while the con sumption of horse and dog flesh had in creased considerably. Herr Weimer also said that he had been Informed that the German naval authorities had asked the government for permission to order foreign canned meat in case of mobilization, as the sup ply of German canned meat was insuffi cient. Interior Minister Posadowsky-Wehner, replying in the name of the Chancellor, iteclared that the latter was. considering the possibility of permitting the import of cattle without restrictions from Anu ria and Switzerland with certain precau tions and of cattle or preserved meat from Russia, Denmark, Sweden and Nor. way. It was impossible, however, for the government to reduce or abolish the duties on cattle or meat. It was also hoped that a reduction of the tariff on the inland transport of fresh meat would Improve the situation, but the govern ment declined to make any reduction of the duties on cattle or meat or to abolish any of the tariffs fixed by commercial treaties with various states. The min ister, however, expressed the hope that the home production, which already sup plied 95 per cent of the population, would expand under the protective tariff. Minister of Agriculture von Arnim Criewen pointed out that similar condi tions existed abroad. In conclusion, he said that the national livestock is valued at $2,000,000.0110 and could not be exposed to infection by the unrestricted opening of the frontiers. SETBACK TO KAISER'S CABIXET Budget Committee Rejects Appropri ation for African War. BERLIN, Dec. 11. The appropriations committee of the Reichstag today reject ed by a large majority the supplementary budget, amounting to over $7, 300,000, in troduced in order to meet the expense of the war in German Southwest Africa, making $26,500,000 for the fiscal year end ing March 31, 1907. This action was taken by the commit tee against the contention of Colonial Director Dernburg that it was necessary to maintain a sufficient garrison in that colony, and Is regarded as being partially due to the influence of the Center party, as a result of the controversy between Herr Dernburg and Herr Roereti, the Centrist leader in the Reichstag, on De cember 5. The estimates for 1907 total $641,250,000. Tho law regulating the estimates em powers the Chancellor to raise a loan amounting to $66,189,097 to cover the ex traordinary expenses.

Christmas Shoppers Are Out Early Father's Wallet Grows Lighter, Mother Does Wonders on Her Allowance and Youngsters Rifle Their Penny Banks. THE sound of Christmas bells can al ready be heard, and each day the faint tinkle sounds nearer and louder. Mothers and fathers hear it, and have confidential consultations before going to the stores. The list is long or short, as the size of the family demands, but it takes much loving care and forethought, and after it is thoroughly revised and pronounced satisfactory, father dives deep Into his hip pocket and brings forth the wallet, or draws a check book from hi3 inner coat pocket. Then mother does the rest. Thn no-Vi taro and cona nf thA hnnsp. liold hear It, too, and wonder quite aloud and in father's hearing how much Christmas money they are to have this year. Then, after father has "produced," there is an extra session in mathematics to make It go around, for boys and girls always have others than the family to remember. . And the the little folks prove that they can hear the bells quite as plainly as their elders, so the penny savings banks are broken open, a quarter, a nickel or a dime is added -by this one and that, and finally the Lilliputian shop pers make their appearance in the shops with the rest of the city. Intent upon buying all possible with the treasured hoard. Two of this last class of shoppers In vaded the toy department of one of the large department stores yesterday and dragged their nurse around for fully two hours before deciding that a Roosevelt bear would be Just fine for father, and that mother would enjoy a baseball bat. Needless to say, these miniature Chris Kringles were boys. Their purchases re minded one of the woman who bought her husband a sealskin coat. But all of the children do not exhibit selfishness In making their purchases, and the shop keepers tell some really touching inci dents about little sacrifices which are made dally for someone's pleasure. But It's the big folks who are doing the buying now thousands of dollars' worth every day. The shops and markets are packed and Jammed already with the LEAGUE AT HEPPNER Umatilla and Morrow County People Fraternize.

End of Pulajanism Xear. MANILA, Dec. 11. Full reports from the Christmas crowds, and the merchants are quite Jubilant over the fact that they are buying early. It makes the terrible rush at the' end a bit less strenuous, and is very, very much easier on the clerks. If more people would take into considera tion that late buying means deprivation to many clerks, perhaps they would be more thoughtful and not delay shopping until the ninth hour. What is most popular this year? It Is hard to tell, but one is pretty safe in say ing that everything is popular Every merchant In Portland tells the story of prosperity by the smile of satisfaction on his face. Things are coming his way. and If everyone in this city does not fare unusually well this year it will not be because the public has not bought lib erally. The florists and confectioners are already swamped with orders, for people have learned it is well to get orders In early: the department stores are putting on extra delivery wagons and employing many extra clerks. The, grocerymen and marketmen are on the Jump all day and late Into the night, and the latter, de clare that half their customers have al ready ordered the Christmas turkey. The haberdasher, the furniture man, the cigar merchants, the curio dealers, jewelers, furriers in fact, dealers 1 every line of goods imaginable are having an unprece dented rush, and all of it points to one of the happiest and most prosperous Chrlst mases Portland has ever enjoyed. The man with fresh potted plants Is on the street, and In a few 'days more the holly and evergreen vendors will oc cupy attention on street corners. The Salvation Army Christmas pot Is now conspicuous, and many a passerby adds to some poor unfortunate's dinner by dropping a few coins In to keep the pot a-boiling. So If you haven't ordered the turkey and Christmas tree, and made out your list of presents, do It without further de lay. It will save getting mixed up In the great crowd of the last twn days' shopping, and It will help out the poor, tired clerks, who might want a few min utes' time to spend their own pennies Sat urday night or Monday- morning. Island of Leyte show that the' fight on December 5. between the troops and ton-, stabulary and a band of Pulajames, was an Important victory for the Government.

Both the military and civil authorities predict an early cessation of the present trouble, and Governor Smith regards the end of Pulajanism in Leyte as assured. The campaign in Samar is progressing In a manner satisfactory to the Govern ment. Three or four rebellious bands have been dispersed, their leaders being those killed or captured.
