Tfce scene when the first read IPs; ef tha veto M:i was carrlod last Wednesday was almost unparalleled in Parliamentary history for exrlteraent ant enthusiasm. Members rising all over the Liberal. I-abi.r and Irish benches WAt'lng bats and handker chiefs presented a spectacle only to be seen half a doxen times within a half cen tury. Still more significant was the apolo getic and subdued tone of the Tory op ponents. This was due principally to their sees of coming- complete defeat. . it was due also to the daily-growing; fissures In the Tory ranks. Open War Plvldos Tories. The young insurgents are at open war with the standpatters. The for mer demand the Immediate and com plete extinction cf the hereditary prin ciple In the new second chamber, while A. J. Balfour and Lord Lansdowne still Insist upon retaining a considerable number of hereditary peers.

Kffort Made to Scare King. The most probable contingency that the two sec some compromise, will Introduce a measure the inade quacy of which to meet the demands of the situation will strengthen the Lib eral contention that a reform of th House of Lords from within Is quite hopeless and that the veto bill is the only way of removing the present dead, lock. These tactic of the Tories are In spired by a desire to appeal to the strong instinct among the English peo ple to have some form of second cham ber and the still more Inspired desire to Impress the king either to frighten or rajole Mm Into refusing the Liberal ministers the power t create 600 new peers. Some of the Liberals have a little fear lest at the last moment some mishap may come from the desire of the King to avoid such a revolutionary transformation of the House of Lords, but I am convinced that Premier As- qulth made his position sure before be ginning the last step, and has pledges which will get Mm the 00 peers If necessary. Torlea Driven to Day. Once the Tories are convlnred that the Liberals are both ready and able to take that extreme step, the opposi tion will collapse. At the moment, how ever, the situation has not yet been thus denned. The Tories, driven to bay, are trying every kind of maneuver to escape certain doom. and. while on one day they seem ready to fly the white flag, the next day they relapse Into a stolid and obstinate resistance. But the present spirit of all the Liberate and Nationalists Is such that nothing ran now prevent the final and early triumph. Churchill's speech was eloquent, firm and defiant, scouting all compromise, and ending with the significant threat that the liovernment would omit no means of carrying the bill early Into a law. This has done much to aug ment the sense of a coming victory. Irih Solve Itelicate Problem. During the week the Irish party had to face one of the most difficult and complex problems In their whole his tory. Either the Invitations to the coronation had to be accepted r not accepted before March 1. The achate on this oueetlon lasted more than four hours. It was conducted with a splen did spirit of self-restraint, good temper and toleration. The attendance at tha coronation undoubtedly would be re garded as a message of reconciliation to the Ensrllsh people, and would do much to remove prejudice, but after a careful consideration, the party re solved to stand by the principle that liberty must precede another manifes tation of loyalty. Their manifesto avowing personal good feeling toward the Klna. and the desire to live In amltr with the Kngllsh masses pro duced an Immense and moat favorable impression In Kngland. and all good Liberals applauded their action as dig nified, conciliatory and sound. t -., JIj ''-4. it. t ' $&f Latent la the Coal - Dent tie Effect J. -Jri !i -' - X-V -SrAi I'lenly of Flowers and Lace.

No one knows to what revelations this testi mony may lead, or what ramifications In official life the exposure of the Camorra may lay bare. Wonld-Be Leader of Band Slain. The voluminous documents in the rase reveal a story more engaging than romance. It Is the result of four years of police work. It shows that Gan naro Cuoccolo, upon whose murder the rase was built, was not only a notori ous criminal, but a rival in the Camor ra of Its alleged head. Enrico Alfano, nlso known as Errtcono. His body, bearing many stab wounds, was found at Torre del Graco. a suburb of Naples, on June 7, 1906. He appeared to have died in a duel, but there were no ashes on the dancing pumps of the handsome and well dressed victim, though the Vesuvlan ashes were knee deep about the place. It was plain that the body had been taken to the place and so murder was established. Identification failed until a certain cavalier, Cuoccolo, recognized the body n j that of his brother's son.

Six thousand American troops w'll man the fortiflca- lons to guard the Panama Canal from foreign Invasion. If the plans now being perfected by the War Department are adopted. These troops will be four regl ments of Infantry, one squadron of cav airy, three batteries of field artillery and 12 companies of coast artillery. A permanet garrison will be established at Culebra. the highest point on the route of the canal. From this point fa cilities will be perfected for the rapid transportation of troops by rail to any other point which may be threatened by an enemy. The coast artillery garrison will be at Miraflores. The distribution of the troops In this manner is calculated to be the best meth od to prevent a sudden dash by a land- ng party of an enemy s neet, naving as its object the destruction of the great locks of the canal.

Mann of Illinois was In the chair and overruled the point. Mann said that, aa far as treaty obligations were con cerned, the United States clearly had the right to police and protect the canal In any wav it saw fit. Several Democrats, who spoke and voted against the fortification, said they were in favor of fortifying the canal after It was completed, but they did not think that the work had progressed far enough to do so at this time. Smith explained that. If the fortifi cations were not begun and carried on while the present construction force was on the Isthmus, the work would cost several million dollars more.

Miner Declares That Natural Sink Is Vast Sanatorium Fatal to Ba cillus of Consumption. LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Feb. 25. (Spe cial.) With a natural tuberculosis sanitarium approximately 1000 miles in area, California will set a new record for sheer magnitude, If some remarkable and Ingenious Interpretations of the physical peculiarities of Death Valley, Just made by J.'

'which has been called everything, from a mundane Gehenna to the world's greatest natural treasure storehouse, Bledsoe adds by the discovery, which he asserts he can substantiate, one that will eclipse all others. He declares Death Valley is a reservoir of a gas which is infallibly fatal to the bacillus tuberculosis, and that it will certainly and quickly cure consumption if the patient will merely live there a few months. It cured him when he had been given up to die. His Ideas have met with medical in dorsement here and he is interesting capital to make this place habitable for afflicted persons. He has demonstrated his theory chemically to the satisfac tion of several eminent physicians. In cluding the one who once told him to "Prepare for death." Airship Given to Smithsonian.
