LONDON, August 1.-THE Liber-
ais have surrendered and the Lords
have scored dangerous triumph.
Intense excitement was manifest
ed on the meeting of Parliament
last night to know what decision
had been arrived at by the Govern
meDt. The Hobbies and galleries
were crowded with spectators,
anxious to witness the progress OF
the political drama. RumOrs had
been circulated that the Govern.
ment, under the pressure of Liber-
a. members who feared dissolution,
had agreed to compromise, but sin.
cere Liberals were unwilling to be-
lieve that the Ministry had shown
so much weakness in the face of a
body whichspossesses little real pol.
itical power. From all Radical
centers kilograms had been receiv.
ed by the members urging resist
ance TO the Lords. The Radical
expressed them
selves in bellicOse terms. When
the House assembled it
was noticed that Gladstone
was absent. A rumor began
to circulate that he was sick. The
event proved, however,. that the
rumor was unfounded. Many Irish
members called on the Govern
ment to state clearly the nature of
the arrangements and allow the
members to go about their bust
ness. The Ministry declined to
adopt this honest course, and gen.
eral apathy fell on the House,
though the Irish members insisted
on taking divisions against each Of
the Governments concessions as a
protest. 1t leaked out during the
night that conference had been |
held between Lord Carlingford,
Sir Ferrard Hershel, Earl Cairns
and Mr.. Gibson, after the Friday |
sitting of the Lords, with the re-
suit that q compromise had been |
agreed to. So fearful was the Min
istry of disturbing the entente cor
dale established with the Lords !
that even the slightest verbal
amendments were opposed by the |
Government and rejected by the |
obedient majority.
In the House of Lords last even
Ing, Lord Salisbury made state
ment that although the Opposition
retained its objections to the Land |
bill, and particularly regarding its
provisions affecting Ieaseholders,
and altogether they would have
felt bound to support Lord Lands
d0wne If he had persisted in maiu-
tanning his amendment on that
point, they would not take any ac-
ton which would send the bill
back to the Commons, which had
relieved the dangerous excre-
SCIENCES of the bill. He expressed
the hope that the bill would be of
much harm to landlords. Lord |
Landsdowne declined to press his
amendment. The Lords then |
agreed to the amendments Of the |
Com mons. Lord Salisbury gave
confirmation to the statement of
Gladstone that there had been no
arrangement between the two
sides, and said the Commons was
responsible for the effects of the
measure. The final proceedings Of
the Lords consisted principally of
mutual congratulations on the.sat-
isfactory ending of the difficulty.
