London, Eng., Dec. I.- in indeperident sources that the an nouncement by A. J. Balfour, leader of the unionists, thai they would con sent to a refegendum policy op tariff reform, should great! increase the op- position's chances in the present cam- paign. This removes one of the libe ral's best planks for getting votes in Seotland and North England, where protection is in disfavor to a great extent, Already the effect of the unionists taking this stand is evidenced. Mr. Halfour and some supporters wddress ed workmen's meetings at lunch time, yesterday, in constituencies known to be strongly free trade. They wer given a great and apparently a sin cere reception. It is now almost purely a question of throttling the House of lords, and even in liberal parts of England there it an undercurrent of feeling that it unbecoming to tradition to make the upper house the mere puppet of the commons, Perhaps the situation is hest express: el by a statement that the outlack for a now parliament that will maddie along another year and again appeal to the country, leaving the big ques tions still unsolved, The policy enunciated hy Balfour has led to a marked cliange in betting on the result of the election, and the favorite wager now is to give Ballour a majority of sixty-one over the lib- erals, instend of twelve as hitherto proposed, IL is stated ' British Elections, London Duily Chrowicle this : * The following table shows the chief dates of interest in. connection with The lord mayor of Birmingham hase already fixed Saturday, December 3rd, for poll provided that the writs nee receiv om or before Tuesday, November 20th, There will, no"doubt, be polls Lomdon also on that date.

Hon. Mr. Brodeur referred to the statements in Le Devoir, which tried| to make out that he had purposely! tried to deceive the house. These | statom@pts he seemed to attribute to Blondin.

This is shown in a report just sent to Hon. A. B. Aviesworth, minister of justice, by the inspectors of pemitentiaries. - The £1 | inspectors, Messrs.

"The fact," they ay, 'that eighteen hundred laborers wards of the government--who are able to work and who are under sen- tence of hard labor, are kept at pub- lic expense in semi-idleness, involves a serious expense to thé taxpayers and loss to the revenue.

London, Eng., Dec. 1.--With the first pollings within two days time the {election campwign is gelting more strenuous every hour. Candidates and their supporters are holding meetings lin every" available biilding, at every | possible corner, and at every eonceiv- { able time. | The Hon. John Burns showed him: (self still very popular with the work- ling class of London, this morning, in {his address to grimy workmen of {night shifts, from factories and foun {deries. If loyalty to Burns means loyalty to the government it would carry London by an oyerwhelming ma- jjonty. * { In speeches last night the .govern- {ment leaders practically admitted: that { Balfour's change on the tariff reform {had really taken considerable wind {from their sails. { Liberal tactics now is much a sarcastic round-up of the tories for deserting their pet platform of last year, It is almost beyond question, | however, that Redmond, O'Connor and | their followers are more solid for the {government than they were, owing to {the threatening attitude of the Ulster people. This all complicates the situ- | ation and makes it anybody's elec { tron, From the Canadian standpaint it is of | interesting to note how frequently the campaigners use the name of Sir Wil- frid Laurier in their speeches. Both i sides claim him as their supporter, the unionists on the score of imperialism % | and the liberals as a friend of home rule. In North-West Manchester, the most spectacular individual contest of the i whole campaign is being waged by a i New Brunswick man, Bonar Law, who { relinquished a safe seat, at the re {quest of Balfour, to carry the banmer {of protection into free trade Lanca- {shire, this district returning, . Iast January, all liberals, save ome, in twenty-three constituencies. Bonar Law is described as more of a protee- tionist than tory, who would, for tar- iff reform, give home rule without blinking, though since coming here he has been inclined to use a soft pedal on protection. Balfour's sensational shelving of tariff reform, emphasized by Lord Roseberry, yesterday, is designed to | reconcile Lancashire free traders, [though the conservative and protec- {tionist Morning Post is again dis gruntled with its party's policy and describes it as an election dodge, The Courier, a conservative organ, says Balfour's ammouncement is greet- ed with delight in Manchester. Hon. Augustine Birrell, at North Bristol, declared himself jo favor of a second chamber, small, critical, effec tive and impartial, not to defeat le- gislation with the veto, but to in- terpose and give the country time. Hon, Mr. Haldane, speaking in East Lothian, claimed the price of food {had vastly increased in protected | countries, while food remained cheap there. The wheaten loaf cost twice as | much in Canada and the United States {as it did here; that was because we | were freer from rings and trusts and {all the corrupting influences which {arise out of protection. | Premier Asquith, in referring, at | Reading, to the referendum, said such {a change would upset the very foun- {dations of representative government; {it would degrade the house of com: {mons from the position of the great- test and most deliberate executive in | the world to the level of a mere de ibating society, | Lord Joicey, once a prominent li- [eal in the gommons, declared against i the surrender to socialism.
