LONDON, May 24.-The majority in the
house of commons last night against Lord
Hartlngton's resolution, that no forces shall
be raised or kept by the crown in time oil
peace, save within India, without the sane
ton OF parliament, was nearly double the
figure conceded by the opposition, all of whose
estimates placed the governments majority
at about sixty or seventy. The Times, re-
ferr1ng to this, says: This was because the
debate brought out clearly the fact that the
real issue was the approval or condemnation
of the governments policy in utilizing In
dian troops. Under that Interpretation the
house voted upon it. If the resolution had
been carried it would have been accepted by
all the world as vote of censure. Questions
of legality and of the constitutionality of the
governments methods may exercise parlia-
ment's attention at some other time. The
resolution was properly considered in its bear
lngs on the conduct OF the government at a
great political crisis, and IN that light it was
overwhelmingly defeated.
SOCIALISM IN THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT.
BERLIN, May 24.-ln yesterdays debate in
the German parliament on the anti-socialistic
bill, Herr Benningsen accused the federal
council of introducing a bill which they
knew would be overwhelmingly rejected in
order to have pretext for the dissolution of
parliament. He warned the council that this
was dangerous experiment, and SAID the
eral condition OF German society requires the
establishment of dictatorship. Herr Lubk-
necht, socialist leader, said his party had re-
fused to participate In the debate passed
in the assumption that the socialists encour-
age murder. Herr Richter, for the advanced
liberals, and Herr Joerg, for the ultramon-
tanes, declared that the government had
winked at socialism in order to discredit the
POLITICAL influence of the middle classes.
Under this species of fostering evil socialism
had obtained formidable proportions, and
could only be cured by industrial and educa-
tonal progress.
