All the nolitieal nnrtiea welcome the prospect of nu immediate ,'enral election, which it is reeos-uized ould not have long been delayed iu any use. - - Tim conservatives especially feel that it would greatly strengthen their admin istration if they were able to get a defi nite mandnto from the country. More over, formation of tho new ministry noir would eutail about fifteen bye-elections, involving much loss of time, with the -possible prospect of a genral election iu the future stilt confronting them, . Tho conservative party meeting; for the election of Mr. Bonar Law as leader will be held Monday afternoon at tho hotel Cecil, the Carlton Club not afford ing euougu room to accommodate tho prospective ntetndanee. This meeting will l!e followed, according to' the best information, -ly announcement of tho dissolution of parliameut oither Monday night or Tuesday. Expectation continues geneTal that tho polling will take place November 18, and it is belieed te reconstituted parlia nient can meet by November 2(5. Aa rati licatio iiof the Irish treaty is no longer a contentious matetr, it is believed it can bo disposed of in tho specified time, and parliament Is.liktdy to rise for its i tliristmas reeess early in December. If the conservatives come into power as a result of tho election their policy will, it is declared, not be to aim o much at legislative achievement aa o concentrate upon "sound administra tion ' and economy.

The future attitude of Austen Chain bertaiii and his followers who voted for the coalition nt the Carltou Club meet- ing is much debuted. The leaders of this group met privately last night and discussed Lie prospects, but differeut , versions of thu decisio ntuken at the meeting are given by tho political writ-' ers of the nioriiing newspapers. One of these is that the coalition unionists will accept tho inevitable and' range themselves alongside their fellovV1 I conservatives, aud theio is reason to be'-. lieve this coursi will aurely be followed, by some of them. Another statement is that Chamberlain and his followers will form u separate group, inspired bv a spirit of benevolent lriilciioniteni-f' triim tint 111:1111 finHiri-ii j jive party, which they will not directly j oppose ju the elections and with which it hey may co-oierate to a certain extent 1 afterward. The Times political correspondent say that, when it comes to parliamentary ne-,, tion, there is scarcely a doubt that tlim two sections of the party will be in com jplcte agrement, and that the apparent 1 split will lbe small. j This view is not favored by the. mora 1 extreme tories, who say the eoalitiori I unionists have indeed ''gone iuto thiJ ; wilderness and . will wander tberer somo Itiiue in political oblivion. " The suiv postion that they will join the predicted, center party nndcr Mr. Lloyd George is now rejected almost everywhere.
