The ordnance bureau has ordered a board of inquiry to deve-.op details of tie accident, the only witness to which so fu: as can be learned, were John C Colemai. and Sidney Dyson, both colored. The gun, which was a new one from th navy yard factory, had been fired twice. The accident occurred during the thlrc round. Just as the breech was being closed. The accident was similar to the explosion that caused the death of ten soldiers h. the pit of one of the disappearing guns a, Fort Monroe, Va., last summer.

(Special CnMctrn m "The bluest of blue funk describes the condition of the toty party and espei-IV.Iy the peers." declnred T. P. O'Connor In i,n article publlshtd today. "It I always so with Insolent and r rognnt aristocracies when they nre brought to the b;ir of public opinion.

These English and Irish aristocrats are Just as unteachahle ns were their h ss favored predecessors, and the only nay to teach them is to beat them. What the 'lories l-nr. "What the torles fear Is nn Immediate appeal to the country on a clear cut Ismi. They desire delay. They should get neither. We have them at last. The more they squeal the harder we should hit them.

Our sole business at this ,nonent Ib to give the people the rlrtht of self-government. This they cannot have until they give tho House of Common the same right to pass Its measures with a liberal aa with a lory mln.stry. This right received, we can proceed in our own good time to diacuss the various method of re taining the House of Lord. "The House of Common is not merely the voice and Image of the nation; It is the nation. It will be the nation, even to a greater degree when our franchise laws ar drastically and democratically re formed. "The second Issue ai the election will be Ireland. The Irish question come first after the House of Lords because of It urgency and because It Is th f.rst. Inevita ble and most necessary step toward the development of the security and unity of the empire." Asqulth Opens Ills ampolgn. Premier Asqulth opened the radical cam paign In a speech at a luncheon of th National Liberal club today. He announced no new policies. Th government, Mr. Asqulth said, was determined to bring an end at one and for all time to the present system, under which liberal legislation did not have fair chance and to confine the 'second chamber to subordinate functions, appro priate to such a body. Th liberals were f.ghUng for fair play for progressive legis lation and th complete establishment of a representative government. Regarding th recent activity of tti lords In th mstter of reforming them selves, the premier said ths reason for this waa clearly apparent, as th torles could not face another election with the Incubue of tho House of Lord on their back. Fight la a Finish. It's a fight to th finish with the lords Premier Asqulth' speech at th National Liberal club today leaves no doubt on that point. Th question of questions to day Is: "Has th premier got his guaranteeer"' Mr. Asqulth' vagus statement yesterday disappointed many, but now, after reflec tion, all liberals think that hs tuts recog nised th fact that th premier must, at j all cost, keep th king out of party poll I tic. Probably th recent long and mys i tsrious negotiations between the king and I the cabinet during the king's visit to Lon don, dealth with that point. The king was i ths most anxious for secrecy, the premier Insisting that first absolute necessity of announcing hi reception of tha guaran tees to present the backing up of the lib eral party. An Indication that Implies that Mr. As qulth got hi guarantee Is to be found lu Mr, Redmond's silence and apparent satis faction. It Is not Impossible If the guar antees ar not given the crown Itself will be Involved. Laborltea and socialists pre dicting a large -Increase In their delega tions In the next parliament, are making a lot out of the allusion by th Dully News to "monarchical revolution," and James Ketr Hardle repeats the threat about crowns and melting pots. Maine of King I)ras"d In. Moderate liberals deprecate violent lan guage, and Uie mutterings of radical ex tremists against George V are l.kely to cause an answering outburst of loyalty in other quarters. But tha fact that the name of th king has been dragged Into th controversy on the assumption that he has acted In a partisan manner shows the dtgree to which passion or suspicion bus been aroused. As an offset, attention Is drawn to the Improvement in th personal relations be tween the occupants of the two front benches in the commons resulting from lu meetings of ths "council of elgl't."
