If the suspicions proved true the ships could be seized as prises of war.

The recognition by Britain of the belligerency of the South in the American Civil War (1861) was a landmark in international law, as full belligerent rights had been considered obtainable by sovereign governments only.

A GRAVE DEFEAT

LONDON, Nov. 1.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS met to-day to dispose of the outstanding business

of the present session which was interrupted by the recent recess.

Mr. Chamberlain's supporters predominated, and a majority vote for the Government is certain. Nevertheless, the House was very watchful, and there was considerable vocal opposition from the Labour and Liberal benches.
