Hop of Future Restoration of Power
I Is But Slight.
London The constitutional revolu
tion appears to be an accomplished
fact. Great Britain in the future will
be governed practically by the house
of commons, with the hereditary up
per house possessing only a veto with
a time limit of two years.
The peers find their one gleam of
hope in the prediction that the next
conservative government will overturn
Asquith's revolution and restore old
conditions, but the radicals are confi
dent that in such matters the hands of
the clock never turn back.
The future career of the veto bill
was apparent to all politicians and its
eventual acceptance by the house of
lords not doubted. Premier Asquith
dispelled all clouds by communicating;
informally to Mr. lialtour, leader of
the opposition in the house of com
mons, the substance of an announce
ment which he will make in that
house. His letter, which Mr. Balfour
communicated to the meeting of the
lords, follows :
"Dear Mr. Balfour: I think it is
courteous and right, before any public
decisions are announced, to let you
know how we regard the present sit
uation. When the parliament bill in
the form it has now assumed returns
to the house of commons, we shall be
compelled to ask that house to dis
agree with the lords' amendments.
In the circumstance, should the ne
cessity arise, the government will ad
vise the king to exercise his preoga
tive to secure the passing into law of
the bill in substantially the same form
in which it left the house of commons,
and His Majesty has been pleased to
suggest that he will consider it his
duty to accept anil act on that advice.
Yours sincerey, H. H. ASQUITH."
EXPLOITATION TO BE VAST.
Southern Pacific Engages Chicago
Coliseum Annex.
Chicago The 'entire West will be
advertised during the United States
Land and Irrigation congress to be
held at Chicago November 18 to De
cember 9.
The Southern Pacific company and
other Harriman lines have engaged
the whole of the Coliseum annex for
purposes of exhibition, and every
town, county or state tapped by these
lines, will be given the 'opportunity to
show what advantages it may have to
offer to the prospective homeseeker.
To further this purpose, the space
will be divided into lecture halls with
moving, picture facilities, and the
towns and other centers that care to
participate in the exhibits will be in
vited to send moving picture films and
lecturers to show the public the oppor
tunities for homes offered in the vari
ous districts. Photographs taken
along the lines of the Southern Pacific
depicting the most interesting phases
of home, farm and industrial life will
also be shown. ,
The Land and Irrigation congress
has planned to occupy the entire Coli
seum at Chicago, but as the space al
lotted to the several exhibits was
thought not sufficient for that planned j
by the Southern Pacific for its West-1
ern patrons, that company concluded
to secure the annex for the Western
exhibits. '

BATTLESHIP MAINE EXPOSED.
I Bottom ot Craft it Bent Upwsrd-
Hull Deep in Mud.
Havana. July 19. -The proce.s of
removing the water surrounding the
1 wreck of the Maine was virtually
completed this aftern.H.n. when the
water in the cofferdam was lowered,
leaving the wreck surrounded by is
lets of mud and lnne. The depth at
no place is greater than four feet.
i The engineers are now confront.
with the serious problem of removing
the mud in which the remains of the
battleship are embedded from min
imum of 37 feet to a depth that can
only be conjectured.
Although the water is now only two
feet lower than in previous pumping
operations, rcvclat ions regarding the
shattered hulk have I n va-tly en
larged bv the out 'reading of the dis
torted frame ard plating, especially
in the forward section where the el
plosion was must fell.
The structure of the bow as far aft
rruim. IS is now excised, permit
ting an analysis of the plates, beams,
ribs, etc.. ami it has been shown con
clusively that they originally belonged
to the structure of the double bottom,
1 which is now elevated to a height of
! about -in feet above the normal posi
tion, apparently giving cmiirmiiioij
... i.i ,f ,i I i-ememlous exterior ex-
; plosion. t
To this view, however, trie en
gineers decline to commit themselves,
merely admitting tin- identification of
parts off the U.ttom of the ship.

CHOLERA HARD TO DETECT.
Disease Does Not Develop for Days,
Making Fight Difficult.
New York, July How difficult
it is to exclude cholera was brought
out in testimony heard today at the
investigation of Mr. Holy's adminis
tration. Kmil l.ederer, in charge of
the steerage department of the Hamburg-American
line, testified that the
first rase of cholera on board the
Moltke diil not develop until 22 days
after the passengers had first been
quarantined in Italy.
All the immigrants at (lenoa, Pa
lermo and Naples, where cholera is
now epidemic, had been held live days
in quarantine before they were em
harked and there was no sign of chol
era among them when the ship sailed.
Or. Doty said tonight that the situ
ation in this port was encouraging and
fears of a cholera invasion are being
allayed.
