New Political Party Initiated By Sir Arthur Markham. London, Dec. 21.—A movement to- ward forming a new political party to be knows as the National has been initiated by Sir Arthur Markham with the object, so his critics assert, of opposing the present coalition ~ gov- ernment. In the leadership of the new party are associated-the names of the principal discontents in parliament, including Sir Edward Carson, Lord Charles Beresford and Sir Henry Dal- zlel. But the announcement seems to have been made before the plans of the founders were ripe, and no serious support has been given to the move- ment by any section of the press, while most of the papers are trying to kilt it_with ridicule. There was also an effort to laugh it out of parliament. A letter from Markham, which is taken as a manisfesto of the new par- ty, has appeared in one of the leading conservative papers of London. No definite ccnstructive policy is worked out, but a great deal of fault is found with the working of the coalition gov- crnment. Markham himself has been a strong critic of the government, yet Re has made no speeches that have been widely quoted or commented up- on. He is a cool and iron magnate and, while representing a liberal con- stitiency, hc is popularly considered the leader of the big business element. As for the other discontents, Carson Is known as a fighter of forceful per- sonality, but he i5 an advocate rather than an originator and he was not the real organizer of Ulster mesistance dur- ing the Home Rule campaign. Dalziel is a severe critic, but one of the pa- pers points out that in blaming the Zovernment for its mistakes he always Qisplays his wisdom after the event. Lord Beresford bas the name of being o redhot partisan of whatever cause he espouses, rather than a cool, analy- tical statesman. Some other discontents in the house of commons, mainly liberals, are men- tloned in connectign with the move- ment as well as the extreme Ulsterites and the conscriptionists. In the upper house, Lord Nesier, Lord Willoughby de Droke and Lord Middleton are said to be connected with it. So far as it has a refinite platform, the new party may be said to advo- cate conscription, protection, anti- homerule and the disposition of Mr. Asquith as premier. An Unexcelled Record. It is only the Sixty-fourth Con- gress, yet that means a fairly vener- able antiquity as national assemblies g0. And,. perhaps, no country has packed more politics into the same period—Springfield Republican. Chinese exports of firecrackers to the United States are yearly dimin- ishing.

A condition in the will provides that of the house in M street shail be the home of a son, Lear S. Barber, as long as he lives. The reason for giv- ing the property jto Mrs. Crumb, as stated in the will, is that she has al- ways resided with and cared for the testator and husband.

The granite cutters’ demand is a minimum wage of $4 a day, an ad- vance of 75 cents over the present wage, or an increase of 41 3-8 cents an hour to 50 cents.

WALES TINPLATE INDUSTRY IN VERY PROSPEROUS Cans Taking Place of Glass Jars Drug and Grocery Trades. London, Dec. 21.—The Wales tin plate industry was never so prosper- ous as now. Large orders have come trom France, where the plate is used in making bombs for trench warfare, and the demand for tin in England is above normal, as cans have taken the place of glass jars and bottles to a large extent in ‘the drug and grocery trades. An_entirely new line of work has also been built up in the manufacture of tin boxes, a branch of the indus- try that had been captured by Ger- many prior to the war. Germany bougth Welsh plate and returned the manufactured boxes to England, duty free, as well as to the British colonies. England has now built up plants, for tin box and can making and intends to keep up the present work in the days of peace. Some difficultq is en- countered now in supplying the enor- mour demand against the handicaps of high priced steel and the scarcity of‘acid, on which the government mu- nition works naturally have first de- mand.
