There have heen six abstentionists from the northern Parliament which sits at RBelfast—four Nationalists, in- cluding Mr. de Valera, and two Sinn Feiners, It is considered likely that they will follow the course taken in the case of the Dail and cease their boycott of the Ulster body Flected From Two Counties. De Valera was elected to the north- ern Parliament from County Down and to the Dail Eireann from County Clare. The eyes of political ohservers are focussed on Tuesday's session of the Dail Eireann, when a debate is sched- | uled to begin with possible far-reach- ing consequences. The general as. sumption is that a motion of non- l_‘nnfidnan will be introduced, result- ing in the fall of the government of President »sgrave. The President is represented as unwilling to continue in office even if he should win by two or thres votes. Johnson May Rule, In the event of the resignation of the Cosgrave Rovernment, Tom John- son, parliamentary lahor leader, un- doubtedly would be called upon to form a ministry, and as the mem- ber of the Dail displayed a reluc- tance vesterday to have another gen- eral election in the immediate future, it is considered that the prospective Johnson government might have a fairly long existence. It was only a question, according to the comment of some ohservers, whether Johnson and De Valera, be. ing of extreme opposite tempera- ments. could pull together. De Valera sat silent throughout the mession of the Dial. BORDEN EX EXPEDITION REACHES WRANGELL Field Museum Group Reports Rus- sian Colony on Island Claimed by America.
