LONDON, July S.--The House of Lord
tonight rejected the bill crssting life peers
ges, by vote of II to l06.
The new bankruptcy bill was read the sec
ond time in the House of Commons.
Gladstone after acknowledging the courtes,
with which Sir Henry Boliver had 80 Otter
postponed his motion in regard to the Ala.
bams claims, said ia again appearing tc
put 1t of, he felt it his duty to sllege some
reason for his action, as it would amount to
a definite postponemeut Of the question for
this year. he assured the house that it WAS
the opinion of the government that it would
best promote the interests involved in this
great question, by abstaining from asking
| the house TO discuss IL 1T the present mo.
ment. II had always been the custom OF
| Parliament to abstain from discussing aues
tons while under negotiations, although it
could hardly be said what claims were now
| under negotiation, aud it might be consid-
cred that rejection Of the United States
brought them to q definite point; still he
| had reason to believe that the Government
of the United States did not regared the
question as definitely dropped. On the con-
trary, they considered it was better an inter.
public opinion in America, before negotia
tioDs are resumed. Under these circumstan.
ceS, Her Majesty's Government was ever in.
clined to concur in the views of the Amer.
can Government. lie pointed out that the
question had not been discussed in either
branch of the American Congress. Having
regard for these circumstances the Govern
ment was anxious that nothing should oc.
cur to impede the resumption of the uegoti.
ations; therefore he requested the postpone
ment OF the motion on paper for TO morrow.
Sir Henry Boliyer replied that he felt it
his duty to accede to Mr.. Gladstone's re-
quest, but he did so with great reluctance
He thought discussion would do no harm,
but rather strengthen the policy of the Gov
ernment. He did not attach muck impor.
tance to Senator Sumner, but felt the great
importance of the fact that the exaggerated
pretentions brought forward any time when
it would be equally dishonorable not to
grant, and disastrous to refuse them. If the
feeling of the house was against the motion
he would not bring it forward. In concu.
sion he threw the whole responsibility on the
Government.
