This does not mean that President Taft will not recomriend such a system of banks in his ressage, but it is sald the chances are that he agree to a postponement of thb consideration until next year.

WARM CAMPAIGN IN PROSPECT Leaders of Both Partles Are Pre- Hold Monster Mass Meetings in All Prineipal Citlen. paring to LONDON, Nov. #I.—The will be memorable in the annals of Great Britaln. The Lords, de- spite the warnings of such experienced politiclans as Lord Rosebury and Lord Baifour of Burlelgh, have decided to with- hold their consent to the budget and it Is a foregone conclusion that Lord Lans- |downe's motion to reject the finance meas- “urv‘n will be carried by a large majority, But while the result is foreseen, interest in |the debate remains undiminished and the specches to be delivered on Monday and | Tuesday preceding the dlvision are eagerly | anticipated, Viscount Morley, secretary of state for Indin;” will reopen the discussion when the House of Lords convenes Monday, and he will be followed by Lord Curgzon, former viceroy of India, provided the latter has recovered from his fliness. Then the finan- clers will have thelr say, Lord Rothschild speaking on behalf of the unionists and |Lord Swaythling for the liberals. Earl Cawdor and the earl of Crewe will make the principal speeches on Tuesday. Probable Action of Premfer, With all the leaders out of town for the week end there have been no further de- velopments in the situation and the dis- cussions in the press and about town are |confined to conjectures as to what course |the government will take. It Is certain that Premier Asquith on the day after the Lords have divided on the question will give notice affirming the uncontrolled right of the House of Commons in respect to financlal matters. There is a possibil- ity that Lord Balfour of Burleigh will reply to this with an amendment propo: coming week parliamentary tion of such tmportance should be referred to the people. The premier's motion, will, of course, prevall, and then it will be up to the government to decide whether the House shall be prorogued or merely ad- Journea. Warm Campaign in Prospect. The decirion of the government In the matter will be of the greatest importance 80 far as the finances of the country are concerned, as the only authority now exist- ing for the collection of the income tax, the duty on tea and the increased duties on spirits and tobacco rests on the resolu- tions passed immediately after the intro- duction of the budget. If Parllament is prorogued these resolutions will come an end and the collectiow of taxes will have to stop. If adjournment only Is deter- | miced upon the resolutions will contipue In forcé and the taxes can be collected up | to the time of dissolution. The campaign throughout the country will be begun in earnest as soon as the chambers have been adjourned, Great meetings of both parties have al- ready been arranged at all the big centers and thousands of speakers and canvassers are prepared to begin the work, which will be continued except during an Interval for the Christmas holidays.

He onveyed his find to Ciky Chemist Crowley, trom he asked an snalysis.

W. Wack. Mr. Wack gave out a statement todey, by pre-arrangement with Dr. Cook, in which he declared his client had already sailed and gave at femgth the reasons for his journey. Later in the day he reccived a telephone message from John R. Brad- ley, Dr. Cook’s banker, informing him that there was a strong probability that Dr. Cook had sailed on the steamship Havana for Havana at 1 o'clock, an hour later than the Carona’s sailing time. “The statement I gave out this morning." sald Mr. Wack, “that Dr. Cook had sailed | | his plan. I have had no notification of any change except such as has late today come to me Indirectly through Mr. Bradley. As the steamer Havana left her pler this afternoon, a man was seen on board who bore a strong resemblance to Dr. Cook. He refused to give his name. Evidence of an attempt to steal his original records has cautloned Dr. Cook to employ reasonable safeguards In trans- mitting them. It is denied that Dr. Cook is in any dan- ger of collapse. He wishes, say his friends, to be within call of the Danish eommis- sion that will examine his records, al- though, In the phraseology of his state {ment, it is admitted that his naturally |robust health has suffered by the great |change from a dlet of “ice and pemmican’ to the food of civilization, While awaiting the verdiet of the com- mission, according to the, statement, Dr {Cook will rest in Italy in some spot se- leure from inirusion, where he can work |at the narrative of his Arctic journey.

News of Dr. Cook's departure was not |tavorably received today by some of the | members of the Explorers’ club, who had expected him to appear before them In reference to the dispute over his claimed ascent of Mount McKinley. “Dr. Cook,” said Prof. Marshall H. Sa- ville, head of the committes appointed to investigate the ascent, “promised us faith- fully that he wouid submit a report of his Mount McKinley climb and appear per | sonally before a commiitee as soon as his records for Copenhagen university were completed.
