ed the purchase problem by cancelling the Iey-
siOns in the army. He declared that the House

cheering in the House, but Disrael and the
tory members were unable to dissemble their
anger and bitterly denounced the arbitrary
course of the government. Gladstone was de-

tenn. The Lords were deeply moved but deco

suggest what action should be taken at an
event which they were hardly prepared for.
