N'O 7or Warring Factions Are Quiet Out of Respect to Dead Monarch. INEVITABLE UPHEAVAL MAY BE DEFERRED Exiected That Both Factions W1H Be Careful Not to Precipitate s PiK-lied Rattle in George's Inaug ural Year Controversy Over House of Lords Will Mean Stormy Reign for New King Ireland Win Be Placated. London, Nov. 15. Parliament re assembled today and transacted only routine business, although many members declare the country is on the eve of a political upheaval. Pre mier Asquith is expected tonight and will anounce the full program of the liberals and it is expected he will an nounce that he will call for a disso lution of parliament November 23rd after the passage of urgent meas ures. It Is predicted he will order a gf neral election In December. Out of respect to the memory of the late King Edward and In defer ence to the new monarch, a pitched battle between the warring factions had apparently been averted for. a time when the two houses reconven ed today. Since the adjournment ef Parliament early In August, leading men in both of the principal British parties have held many conferences, with a view of postponing the con troversy over the status of the house of lords, in order that King George's coronation year may not be marked by the fierce warfare that would cer tainly accompany an election at this time. It Is generally believed that the negotiations have been successfnL but it is evident today that the hens of commons is akin to a powder mag azine, and that a spark may yet set it off. Premier Asquith is expected to do his part toward averting hostilities) with the lords. The Irish will be placated it is expected, by proposals), having the endorsement of both lib eral and unionist leaders, for a scheme of federal home rule which will be necessary to make such, a proposal effective, and the govern ment will be powerless to carry out such a policy without unionist rap port. There is many a slip betweea the cup and the lip. and It may yet be found that a general election la) December will be the only way out of the difficulty. In that case, it is cer tain that the campa'gn would be the fiercest in the history of England and would arouse' animosities that would embroil the whole nation and make the coronation of King George a sec ondary matter. The suffragettes were active today and they have planned dally mani festations. In the hope of forcing ac tion on the woman's suffrage bill. This) measure was brought up at the last session and, after a preliminary dis cussion more facetious than earnest, was buried in a committee of the whole. If the leaders succeed In smother ing the fires for the present. It will only mean that the conflagration will later break out with greater violence. The hatred of the house of lords in dally gaining in volume and the days of that Institution, as at present con stituted and wih Its present powers, are surely numbered. The reign of King George promises to be an ex citing and memorable one. SAYS ANNA MORGAN WILL NOT MARRY COUNT BONI New York, Nov. 15.
