London, October 15.

Since Mr. Chamberlain's speech on the 13th, inst., which has teen adversely commented on by the majority of the Conservative newspapers, which show an increasing restlessness with Con servative support of the Coalition, the political situation has been full of dramatic possibilities.

Bishop Cannon, in a message, urges that the United States should be represented at the Near East conference to protect the rights of Americans, to secure a national home for the Armenians and to obtain protection of property and minorities in Turkey.
