Prospective English Peers
All Draw Disappointments
LONDON. Jan. I -Much surprises will be
occasioned by the absence from tbe New

peerages. Tha political propheta had pre
dicted an unusually large list of peerages,
tha nam of Richard B. Haldans, secr-
j tary for war. and othars having been mn
! tinned. Bom conservative papers have
talked of ths appointment of as many aa
twenty or thirty new peers.

sible explanationa Either the king would
not aancllou. or Premier Axjulth a as re
luctant to recommend the creation of peers

Lvubiiee many unionists a ill Jump at
th conclusion tht th prim ml ut star
failed ta obtaig tha requlrad guarantee
from th king, but it la considered more
reasonable to suppose thst the govern
ment recognized th futility of creating
nea- peer while the question of tb dras
tic reform of th upper chamber, alth the
possible abolition of ths hereditary basta.
waa In the air.
The premier s '1st of honors comprise
six privy councillors, the most notable of
whom are: Alexander William Murray,
master of Ellbank, the chief liberal whip,
and William Abraham, a member of the
Housa of Commons for the Khondda di

of a working collier, and himself closely
