COMING DAYS IN THE HOUSE

.NO LATE HOURS.. The prospects for tho coming days in Parliament do not promise any startling events. There will be the Imprest Supply Bill to-day, and that may occupy any time from half an hour to several hours. .The only certainty is that it will he passed before the House rises. The Addrcss-in-Reply debate will probably be opened on Wednesday evening. I't is the intention of the Prime Minister not to ask the House to sit moro .than reasonable hours for a good period of tho session except in cases of emergency, 60 that it may be some time beforo a division is taken on any of the no-con-fidence amendments that may bo moved on th© address. There is a good deal of comment and genornl talk among members about the amendments, but the statement that the Government party is showing any anxiety about them is very much an exaggeration. There is anxi-i ety among certain members as to how they are to vote, but those mcml>ers do not belong to tho Government part}', and it is pretty clear, now that he purpose, of Mr. Mac Donald in getting in early with his no-confidence proposal was to compel these members to declare themselves. There' is said to bo somo possibility that Labour will take such opportunity as offers to move another no-confiilence motion.
