House OF Commons.

LONDON, September 2d.-In the Honse Of
Commons day Labouchere gave notice that
early in the next session he would call atten-
ton to the legislative relations of the Lords
and Commons, and move resolution on the
subject Arnold (Iiberal) win move, on
going into committee ON the appropriation
bill, that the rejection by the House OF Lords
OF a measure greatly promoting the welfare Of
Ireland. has gravely increased the difficulties
Of the Executive, and endangers the grant Of
fee for the expenses of the State. Paruell
gave notice of u motion for lacking the reg
istration bill to the appropriation BILL The
Marquis of Harrington suggested that it

LONDON, September 2d.-The House of
Commons tonight rejected the amendments
made by the House of Lcrls to the en-
ployes' liza bility bill, but consented, by a
vote Of Y to 50, to limit the bill to seven
years.
The House passed the census bill. A mo-
ton that the census indicate the religious
persuasion was theoretically opposed by John
Bright. and was rejected.
Sir Wiifted Lawson called attention to the
forcble interference with the affairs of
foreign country, and asked the Government
what was the object of naval demonstra-
tion. which, he said, if not q sham, was the
first step towards war.
Lord harrington replied that the Govern
ment earnestly hope that no necessity for
coercion would arise. Their object was to
render the existence OF the Turkish Govern
ment possible by settlement OF the diff
culties which now threaten it. The assem-
blage Of the fleets of the allied Powers, with
whom the Government is acting in perfect
concert, proved that Europe was determined
that not all of liz decisions should be evaded.
Attempts to draw more specific declarations
from the Government would rather tend to
lead to necessity for coercion.
Sir Charles Dixie, Under Foreign Secre-
tary, stated that the arrangements between
the Powers were not quite complete, but the
Admirals had received the same Instructions
1t was arranged that Senior Admiral Sey-
mour should consult the other Admirals on
political questions only. The Government
had every reason to believe that attempts to
settle the blontenegrin question would be
successful; that the Dulcigno arrangement
would be- executed in a very short time, and
that no coercion would be necessary.
Lord Harrington announced that he could
not accept the terms of the resolution which
Parnell had framed demonstrating against
the registration bill by the Lords.
The following is the resolution: THAT the
action of the Lords is strongly condemnable
as injurious to the interests of the Irish peo-
pie. and teads to strengthen their belief in
the hopelessness of looking to the Imperial
Parliament for a redress of their grievances"
Parnell, in consequence of Lord Harting
toms refusal to accept the terms Of the reso-
luton, is expected to revert to his plan Of
proposing to tack the clauses of the registra-
ton bill to the appropriation bill.
The Raid on the House1of Lords.
LONDON, September 2d.-The resolution of
Thomas P. O'Connor, Home Rule member
for Galway. that it is no longer just or ex-
pedient that all measures for the improve
ment of the condition of the people Of Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland should be at the
mercy of body consisting of legislators
hereditary and irresponsible, was moved in
the House of Commons in the small hours of
Wednesday morning, after the passage Of
the burials bill, and was seconded by La
bouchere, Liberal member for Northampton.
The Marquis of Harrington humorously de-
precated the raising of a great constitutional
question at half-past o'clock in the morn
ing. He said he hoped the House would pro-
coed with as little delay as possible to the
more serious business before it. The House
then divided on the question, which resulted
-13 ayes to IL noes. The minority consisted
of five Irish members and Bradlaugh, Briggs,
Broadhurst, Ashton w. Dixie, Sir Wlfred
Lawson, Laheuchere, Charles McLaren and
Whalley. The majority included four Irish
members. Parneil declined to have anything
to de- with the resolution.

members of the House of Commons have
promised to participate in the proceedings.

mission for the erection Of the platform 10 the
Park.
The Times says: 1t is much to be regretted
that the House of Lords should have re-
jeeted the billfor registration of voters in Ire
land. 1t was waste of their power. When
struggles can be foreseen on matters of great
moment, it is imprudent to provoke ill-feeling
over trifes. The bill provided facilities for
the registration qf voters in ireland, which
in England, and the House of Lords might
wisely have assented to it, as dealing with
matter peculiarly within the province of the
Lower House.

Lords passed the savings banks bill, the bill
