CopjnaSt. 1911. by the Tribune Company.
I.OXDON. Jan. 14. Already all signs
are pointing to tha moat momentous
session of Parliament In many years.
Moat ft the mlnlatera are already In
London and the cabinet councils will
come soon. The newspapers are. fight
1ns: the preliminary skirmishes and tha
leaders of all parties will receive i
cellent. though menacing, couniela from
these organs.
The Uberal Sllntsters already hare
got notice that the Laborites and Radi
cals will have no tinkering- with trie
question of the reform of tha Housa of
Lords, and that that question could not
be taken out of the programme without
splitting no the ranks of the coalition
The Laborltea and Radicals ara dead
against the proposal even of a purely
elective House of Tears as calculated
to increase the strength of that body.
The whole conception Is that the House
of Commons should be the supreme ir
biter of all legislation and adminis
tration.
Liberals Hope Lords Will Fight.
Tha members of tha Ministry ara
rather handicapped by the unfortunate
preamble of their veto bill, setting
forth the necessity and Intention to re
form tr.t House of Lords. Thla pream
ble waa Inserted by Premier Asqulth
rather than force tha resignation of
Grey and Haldane. but. If persisted In.
It may produce disastrous results.
All sections of the coalition are so
Intent on the common, supreme purpose
of crippling the Lords by the veto bill
that difficulty probably will surround
the question. It atlll la debated hotly
whether the Tories and Lords should
adopt an Irreconcilable attitude and
force on the Liberals tha creation of
new peers. The Liberals now have coma
to the conclusion that such an extreme
tep would be welcome, as ending all
of the prestige of tha Lords and enab
ling the ministry with a majority In
the House of Lords aa In tha House of
Commons to push through home rule
and the other reforms without tha long
ielay of the contemplated veto bill.
Tha Tories are divided on this aa on
everything else. The hotheads still
shriek for a fight to the bitter end. and
for forcing the creation of new peers,
relying on the imaginary unwilling
ness of tha King to consent to such a
violent measure. Their hopes ara false,
ss the King certainly will follow the
advice of tha Ministers and tha Minis
ters will certainly create the peers
without hesitation. If forced to do so.
Tories In Bitter Iud.
For the moment the internal bitter
divisions of the Tories occupy more
arare In the papers than the Intentions
of the mi iila try. A. J. Balfour, feeling
the strong break among his supporters,
wrote a letter of explanation, but tha
situation Is rather made worse.
Balfour's letter waa Ingenious. It
avoided all mention of a referendum for
tariff reform, which la the real rock of
Irreconcilable difference between, him
and tha tariff reformers. On the other
hand Its antiquated sophistry exposed
him to the merciless cr It Idem of the
Liberals, and at this moment his prei
' tlge Is lower than at almost any mo
ment of tils career.
The dispute over his leadership
ranges the Tories organs In opposite
ramps, and tliey are righting each oth
er with bitterness. The Pally Tele
grain and Times and Garvin In the Ob
server all proclaim him the only pos
sible leader, and contend that the pledge
of a referendum must hold ground. The
Morning Post emphatically denouncea
the referendum.
Balfour, in his own Inimitable man
ner, calmly goea to play golf In tha
Riviera, while the thunder storm Is rag
ing around his head.
Free Trade and Protection Row On.
The dispute also spreads to two rival
sections the free traders and the pro
tectionists In the Unionist party. Tha
protectionists maintain that the refer
endum ruined the Unionists in the gen
eral election and the free trade Union
ists as emphatically declare that, the
referendum won many otherwlae Impos
sible fights.
The recriminations weaken tha
Unionists for the right, but Balfour stilt
l regarded by Impartial observers as
unassailable for want of any man who
cm succeed htm. The Anal outcome
probably will be a patched up truce on
tariff reform, the silent dropping of the
referendum ami Balfour's retention of
the leadership.
All of this will lead. I believe, to a
final conference of the Unionists on tha
Home Rule fight and will enable Bat
four to satisfy his followers with his
sham fight on the House of Lords.
Redmond's course In the coming ses
sion Is clear. All of the Nationalists
are satisfied that everything should ba
subordinated to home rule.

MURPHY AFRAID OF RIVAL
Declaration of Tammany Boss's
Confidant Means Sheehan May Be
Dropped as Likely to As
sume Sta.te Leadership.
NEW YORK, Jan.. 14 (Special.)
Politicians were astonished today by
an Interview credited to J. Sergeant
Cram, social member and nearest friend
of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall.
"If Sheehan Is elected United States
Senator. I will quit politics," Cram Is
reported as saying. "The Interests
have'one Senator now and should not
have two. Tha people are up In arms
and will resent the election of another
representative of the interests."
He went on to praise Edward M. Shep-
ard, of Brooklyn, tho candidate for whom
Murphy reported no', sentiment in the
"organization."
Importance Is attached to the inter
view because It is believed Cram spoke
with thg full authority and consent of
Murphy. Cram himself -is declared a
completely negligible quantity in poli
tics. Although he was made chairman
of the general committee of Tammany
Hall by Murphy, this position Is not one
of great weight- In Tammany circles.'
Cram's place -In Tammany politics is
merely that of best friend to Murphy.
He is supposed to have aided In grind
ing the rough edges off the Tammany
boss and Instructed him in oertain so
cial mysteries. ,
.Murphy to Drop Sheehan.
A statement from Cram alone would
not attract a second's Interest n Tam
many, but, if Cram speaks with the
voice of Murphy as Tammany followers
believe, the meaning attached to the
Interview is that Murphy has decided
to drop Sheehan. He has found it Im
practicable to force through his elec
tion. "If Cram speaks for Murphy in 'this
atter, It seems they have the rollers
under Sheehan." declared ; a prominent
member of Tammany Halh "In that
event. Murphy will likely favor the
election of Justice James Gerard as
United States Senator. Justice Gerard
would not meet with the sort of oppo
sition that Murphy' has found- lined up
against Sheehan." - s
Boss Fears for Supremacy
It Is pointed out that Sheehan .is re
garded as the mojt astute politician in
the atate. Murphy's friends have warned
him of the danger to his own Interests
In permlUIng the election of as clever
manipulator as Sheehan. In a little
time, they have declared, Sheehan. given
the nomination,' would ba boss of the New
York state Democracy organization; al
though recently be won the practical
leadership of the state organization when
he compelled the retirement of "Flngey"
Conner as chairman of the state Com
mittee. The situation Is complicated, however.
by the statement made by Governor Dix
on his arrival In the city today that the
name of J. Sergeant Cram would be pre
sented to tha Democrats as a candidate
for Senator and by the admission of
Cram that he would like to be a can
didate. Senator John Godfrey 9axe and As
semblyman Harold J. Friedman, both
members of the Tammany organization.
declared today that they would not vote
for Mr. Sheehan for Senator and would
work and vote for Mr. Shepard. .
Support Flocks to Cram. "
One Tammany Senator and one Tam
many Assemblyman came out In the open
against Sheeban. A third man. Stats
Senator Burt, of Erie, Sheehan's home
county, sent out word that he might re
fuse to enter a party caucus If he had
reason to believe Its determinations were
cut and dried in advance. 1
Tonight Cram, after watching the efr
feet of his statement, began to speculate
on how many votes the opposition needed
to defeat Sheehan. He put the count at
14 Democratic votes.
In quirk response to his declaration.
Cram said tonight he had received more
than GO telegrams and loiters from lead-
ng Democrats pledging support in the
fight for what he termed the "people's
candidate." .- - .
