The first effect of the strike was a buige in the price of wheat on 'hicago grain market late today. As the roads entering St. Paul, Duluth and Buperior are largely grain carriers from the west, the prospect of interrup- tion to this traffic caused some to fear delayed deliveries of grain.

After six days' debate, notable for the ‘high standard of the oratory, as well as for the able and convincing arguments arrayed on both sides for and against the budget, and placing in every possible light all the aspects of the great constitutional questions involved, the house of lords cleared for division at half past 11 o'clock. Impressive Scene. The scene was impressive but in no sense exciting, except that the house was packed to its utmost capdeity and a great array of strange faces were seen on the benches owing to the pres- ence ®f numbers of peers who only appear in the house in most excep- tlonal cases. None would have sup- posed that the event proceding was destined not only to prove memora- ble in the annals of British history, but possibly also involving far-reach- ing changes in the British constitu- tion. There certainly was unusual anima- tion In the public galleries, which were crowded with peeresses, members of the house of commons, ambassadors and others, but in the house itself complete calm prevailed. There was none ‘of that tense excitement or ex- uberant enthusiasm so distinctive of a similar occasion in the lower house. The Vote on Lansdowne’s Amendment. The vote was on Lord Lansdowne's amendment that the house was not Jjustified in giving fts consent to the bill until it had been submitied to the judgment of the country. ‘When the vote was announced, just before midnight, as 350 to 75 in favor of the amendment, a few mixed cheers lips of Akmn ‘and Edward Smith, a|were heard.

New Haven, Conn., Nov. 30.—~In speaking tonight of the going into se- clusion of Dr. Cook, Prof, William H. Brewer of Yale said that if he had been in Dr. Cook's place he would have done so lo . He sald that he thought that . Cook had done a wise thing, as he had been bothered day and night and needed a rest. In speak- ing of Dr. Cook's discovery of the north pole, he said that he had known Dr. Cook for fifteen years and believed hint to be essentially truthful and that he would believe that he had discovered the pole until it was proved to the contrary. In speaking of the climbing of Mount McKinley, he said that even if an expedition did succeed in getting to the top he thought it very doubtful if they found Dr. Cook’s records, from the fact that when he climbed Mount Brewer in 1864 he left records which were not discovered until 1896, though in the years between many expeditions had searched f thém. He said he placed no faith in Barrill’s afiidavit to the effect that Dr. Cook had ot reached the summit, As to passing on Dr. Cook’s records of his north pole trip, Professor Brewer thought that the University of Copen- hagen was one of the most competent authorities in the world and would not be biased in any particular in their findings.

O"Connor, M.P., one of the Irish na- tionaliet leaders In the house of com- mons and now in this country in the interests of Irish home rule, said to- night that the rejection of the budgét by-the British peers announced their own doom, and, he believed, it would precipitate an uprising of the masses in one of the bitterest fights known to English polities for a century. In additlon, the turn of events, he said, would act a8 a vigorous incentive to the cause of Ireland's independence and meant the final emancipation of the English masses. Lords Have Pronounced Their Own Doom. “As to the effect in England, I be- lieve the rejection of the budget will lead to an uprising of the masses, the strength of which the lords have fail- ed to realize. They will realize it before many hours. I believe we are on the eve of the fiercest fight we have seen ‘in British politics for a century: that the fight will go against the lords; that they have pronounced their own doom, and that before two or three vears from now their power of mischief will be so broken as prac- tically to be non-existent. .“This means the final emancipation of the English masses from the grip of feudalism, and of Ireland from the government of an alien parliament.” Parliament to Be Prorogued Friday Until Middle of January.
