Turmoil-Speaker .. Adjourns Session.
LONDON, May 22. The sitting of
the .house, of commons . tonight was
marked by seenea of the wildest disor
der - growing out of . a motion , by Sir
Henry Carapbell-Bannennaa, to' adjourn
tl?e house in order that he might dis
cuss the charge against premier Bal
four of having violated his pledge not
to deal with the - subject of colonial
preference without first appealing to
the country.
Alfred Lyttleton, secretary of state
for the colonies, was put up to reply
to the Liberal leader, but the members
of the opposition shouted down his ev
ery attempt ' to sneak; even after the
premier demanded a hearine for' the
secretary. - Finally the speaker, .after
he had exhausted every effort to quell
the turbulence", put into foree for the
first ' time the r new rule ' empowering
him to adjourn the house in eases of
grave disorder. . ' 1 ' ,;
The scenes in the house created a
tremendous sensation in the lobbies,
which were crowded with members dis

occurrences, which were declared to be
unprecedented. J ; . V
Tonight 'i, unprecedented and undig
nified scenes in the house grew to some
extent out of the Balfour-C'hamberlain
controversy with the addition of heat
engendered the opposition side by the
premier's alleged breach of his pledge.
The members generally were in fever
ish expectation that the debate would
indirectly prove the terms of Balfour's
answer to Chamberlain's compromise
proposals. It was also anticipated that
Chamberlain himself might make an im
portant speech on . the fiscal question.
Then, when Secretary Lyttleton was
pot op to speak instead t Balfour, the
storm burst, such as has not been seen
in the house since the days of the

The naval experts of the Temps

of the Japanese fleet in the Straits of
Cores, leaving Bojestvensky free to
make a long detour and reach Vladi

straits of Japan. .
However, it is pointed out that the
presence of the Russian fleet north of
the Philippines leaves the Russians
only a few hundred miles from the
Japanese naval base at Kelung, in the
northern part of the island of Jr ormosa,
and a fight is still possible before the
detour commences.

1 on -Foot.''
Just As Express Companies Make Con
cessions' to Teamsters, Lumbermen's
Association Adds Fuel to-Flames By
Issuing Ukase of Radical 2,Tature.
CHICAGO, May -23. After a confer
ence lasting three boors, the represen
tatives of the teamsters' onion snd the
employers declared at midnight that
the prospects of a settlement of the
strike were excellent, snd the end of
the trouble may be looked for any time
within the next forty-eight hours.
The stumbling block in the negotia
tions is the declaration by the express
companies that none of their striking
drivers will be taken back' under any
circumstances. All the other terms
submitted bv the employers to the
strikers have been accepted. -.
President Shea, of the teamsters,
said, after leaving the conference, that
he considered the chances good for a
settlement of the strike, and Attorney
Mayer, for the employers, expressed
similar views.
CHICAGO, May 22. Negotiations
looking toward the closing of the team
sters' strike were again ia progress
early tonight. A committee of seven
representstives of the union, empow
ered to call the strike off, went into a
conference st 9 o'clock with the attor
neys of the Employers' Association.
The meeting lasted several hours.
Strong pressure was .brought to bear
late in the day upon the managers of
the express companies to induce tbem
to modify the declaration that none of
their striking drivers be permitted to
return to work. The greatest conces
ion obtained from them was that no
Mack ljsts would be enforced sgainst
the men, and, while none of them would
ever be reinstated in their old position,
there would bo no objecUou to any
driver obtaining a situation with an
other express company when a vacancy
existed. It was this declaration by the
express companies thstledtoths meet-
lag tonight, aad it is expected that be
fore the conference ends important re
sults will be forthcoming.
Despite this move for peace, the
Lumbermen's Association is preparing
for sa extension of the strike. At
meeting of this organization tonight it
was decided , tbst ' tomorrow all the
teamsters employed by the slxtyfive
firms composing the association compel
their drivers to make deliveries of con-
siimments to the strike-bound houses.
Twelve of these firms enforced the or
der today, and between 200 and 300 of
their drivers quit wore.
