Both houses of Parliament assembled today to wind up the business of the session. In the Bouse of Commons, several questions were asked relating to matters of International interest Premier Balfour in a general reply said there had been an unexpected delay In the Venezuelan question, which however, was not due to Great Britain or Germany, who had taken parallel action but to the fact that France and Spain objected to the use of the English language by the tribunal. The question had been left to the tribunal Itself to decide.

He believed that the court, whose members the Czar had been to nominate, would meet on the date originally fixed. Regarding the complaints that the Government was showing a lack of sympathy with Macedonia, Mr. Balfour pointed out that one of the deep sources of mischief was the dissensions among the Christians.

It would be folly to forget that the Christians committed atrocities on The Government was still of the opinion that the best policy was to support the Austro-Russian endeavors to improve the administratlonw Dealing with the protests against puzzling the House on the fiscal condition, the Premier thought there was no necessity for undue hurry in discussing the matter.

There was no pending fiscal question before Parliament, nor would there be one during the currency of the present Parliament. With a final fling from Winston Churchill, who seemed doubtful whether the present Parliament would meet again and who characterized the Premier's policy of transferring the 'fiscal discussion from "Parliament to the country as that of a demagogue, the sitting was suspended. Subsequently the House was summoned to the House of Lords to hear the King's speech prorouging Parliament read. The speech was of little general interest. The most interesting portion of the speech to America deals with Ireland.

It says: 'The warm expressions of good will with which I was everywhere received touched me. My visit enabled me to realize how much was being attempted to improve the housing accommodation for the working population, stimulate commercial activity; advance the methods of agriculture, develop technical education and provide for the sick and infirm. Much remains to be done but It was with feelings of the deepest gratification that I noticed signs of increasing concord among all classes in Ireland, pFeaag-ing as I hope a new era of unitedCr forts for the general welfare."
