MAGAO'S TENNIS GROUND.

A Recent Lawsuit. The residant Trustees of the Macao Protestant Church and

George regretted that Mr. Bonar Law 'allowed his judgment to be rushed by the least experienced and able men of the party. If the | reactionary muting at the Carlton Club received the majority of the votes of the country and be was honestly apprehensive-theyCemetery Fund have unde a state- would try to parry out the Die Hard programme, with the result of provoking the subversive elements of society, with eventually disastrous results. He stood, as always, for sane, sound progress.

Whatever the future brought he would do nothing mean, paltry or unworthy of the conddence of the people placed in him in the greatest period of the Empire's history,

Acknowledging the vote of thanks, Mr. Lloyd George said he had never witnessed such a spectacle as the crowded stations es route to Leeds The warmth and affection of the popular greetings encouraged him to think that the people would never take orders at the bidding of a West End Club.

London, Det.

Yesterday there was great political activity. Many private conferences were held and numerus speeches made all over the country. All party machines are working at full pressure.

Mr. Bonar Law visited, the King at Buckingham Palace last evening. but the reason for the visit is not disclosed. It is pre- sumed that he submitted to His Majesty his views on a dissolution and possibly announced his ability to form a Ministry. Mr. Mc- Kenna, Liberal ex-Minister, appears on the Tory platform in the City on Tuesday in sapport of the Berar Law cand.date. It is painted out that there will be over a thousand candidates for the 615 seats in the new Parliament.
