LONDON, Oeti 2;i. (IJy the Asso ciated Press.) Andrew Bonar Law, on leaving the Unionist meeting today at which h was unanimously elected leader of the party, told the newspaper men ho would accept the tusk of forming a min istry.. LON'DOX, Oct. '23. (By the Asso ciated l'ress.) Unless some unforeseen, uiiiiuugiued development-occurs, Andrew Bonar Luw will,.' before today ends, be primo minister of Great Britain. The arrangements already reported for thecoiiscrvative party meeting at the hotel Cecil stand, ami there is every reti soii to believe the proceedings will pass smoothly, with n (-opposition to the choice of Mr. Bonar Law as 'leader, which will givo him power to accept the king's mandate. Announcement of the composition Of thw ministry and '.declaration of the gov ernment's program may, according to late information, be deferred until Thursday, when also the dissolution of parliament is likely to be announced. There is much perturbation in several quarters, over the report that the elec tions arc to be held on the fourteento or fifteenth of November; instead of the eighteenth, which falls on a Saturday. - Dissatisfaction on this Kiint. is pur ' ticularly strong in labor circles, where it is maintained -that-if the polling is held , on any day but Saturday many labor voters will bo prevented from exeriisiug their franchise. ' J. A. Thomas, head of the railway men, in speech yesterday, said fixing of the election for mid-week would be n "contemptible trick" and this -veiw is virtually universal among the laborites, who see a plot to reduce the labor vote. The conservatves who favor a mid week date, repudiate siu-li -intention. They contend it will be impossible to arrange- the election for Saturday, No vember II, and that if it is postponed to the following Sat unlay there will not lie time to pass thu Irish legislation be fore tlio stipulated date. Moreover, they maintain that as the polls evrywhere will, be open until f o'clock in the evening there will be plenty of time for the labor jieople to record their votes., Whatever day is chosen it has been represented to the officials of the con servative (Kirty that it is undesirable to antagonize the laborites, even on such apparently trivial matter and conse . queutly the eighteenth may be fixed iipon, esH'ci.illy as it. is everywhere con ceded that ratification of the Irish treaty no longer comes under the head of contentious legislation. This week will le crowded with party conventions and public meetings. There was what is deseriljcd as an "emergeii- cy" meeting of the Asqiiithiun liberals (often called free liliernls) last eve ning, Jat which Mr. Asqnith. Viscount Grey, the Marquis of Crewe, iseount Gladstone, Lord Cowdruy, and other leaders were present. It is believed this meeting was called to frame a manifesto which will be is sued shortly.

The decision was rendered on the specific mutter of the application, of foreign liues for an injunction protecting from seizure ships - carrying liquor 'under seal on the east bound voyage from the Lulled Mates. Ihe decission applies to both foreign and American lines because of the state ment, made by Judge Hamf during the injunction proceedings hist week that 5 defeat of. tlio motion of the foreign lines would naturally bring about defeat of the Americcan lines' motion for an in junction. , Kvcrett Mastcn, of counsel for the White Star Liue, nunoitneed that his firm and representatives of the eleven other foreign und domestic liues represented in th proceedings would bring an appeal as soou us possible.
