In the House of Lords to-day, Earl Gran
vile, in moving upon favorable answer to
the royal message in behalf of Prince
Arthur, urged that the demand merely full
filed the contract made at the beginning of
the reign of the queen. He spoke in warm
eulOgy of the prince, whose visit to Canada
had secured the affection of the colOnists.
The Duke of Richmond heartily seconded
the motion, which was carried without a
division.
The Duke of Richmond then moved vote
of censure on the queens message, as an
unworthy ministerial resort.
He denounced, in strong language, the
speeches made at the banquet at the Man
sion house on Saturday in relation to the
treaty of Washington, and claimed that the
royal prerOgative was much strained in the
ratification of that instrument without the
assent of Parliament.
Earl Granville spoke in defense of the
message as responding simply to the pre-
vious action of the House of Commons.
In the Commons, Gladstone stated that
unless the bill relative to elections was
passed by Tuesday, an October session of
Parliament was imminent.
Peter Alfred Taylor, member for Leices-
ter, denounced the making of appropria-
tions for Prince Arthur, who, he said, bad
better serve the country than be its pen
sioner.
A meeting at Trafalgar square to protest
against the proposed allowance to Prince
Arthur was held tonight Five thousand
people were present. The speaker ad-
dressed the masses at different points, and
much excitement was manifested. The en-
tire police reserve was called out and seized
a. communist flag carried by one of the clubs
amid bOisterOus demonstrations. Some
fighting is reported, and arrests have been
made. The meeting adjourned in disorder.
The crowd was dispersed by the police.
The House of Commons tonight passed
the bill granting an allowance of fifteen
thousand pounds per annum to Prince Ar
thur, by vote of 276 to IL.
The Marquis of Salisbury thought the
Lords were bound to resent the great out
rage. Unrebuked it would remain stand
ing menace to the authority of the House.
The Duke of Argyle severely reprObated
the suggestion of the Marquis of Salisbury,
stigmatizing it as unmanly and bitterly
partisan.
Lord Romilly contended that the right to
exercise the royal prer0gative was unpre-
cedented.
Lord Penzance defended the action of the
government and argued to show that the
interposition of the crown in this case was
entirely constitutional
Earl Derby strongly advocated the mo-
ton of censure.
Earl Russell said he should vote for it,
declaring that the government had incurred
q serious responsibility.
Lord Eorthbrook thought that the pro-
posed course of the government was the
only possible one lett to pursue.
Lord Cairns spoke at great length against
the government, seeking to prove that its
use of the royal power was without pre-
cedent.
The vote was taken and the motion,
of course, defeated, the government having
the majority
The House of Commons, after passing
Prince Arthurs annuity, went into COM
mittee on the election bill.
Gladstone opposed the various amend
ments. A division was had on the PROPOSE
ton that the election expenses should be-
paid out of local taxation, which resulted
in majority OF 20 against the government.
