LONDON, July y The house of COM
mons, sitting in committee, resumed the
debate on the royal grants bill to-day.
John Morley moved an amendment declar-
ing the house was unwilling TO increase
the burdens of the people without an as
surance that no further claims will be
made for the younger members of the roy
al family. The government had not made
out their case either in select committee or
in the house. Parliament had already lib
orally provided for the children of the
queen Ii had not shown that retTench-
ments might not be made in expenditures
upon royalty without causing the queen
much anxiety. He especially objected 70
the assertion of the claim OF grants TO
grandchildren of the queen. He
moved an amendment in order to
point a reassertion and reaffirmation of the
claim, the justice of which is denied
Chamberlain said Morley objected to the
grants because no hnality was promised
but as regarded the present reign the pro-
posed grants were absolutely hnal He

who were doing so would think less than

Labouchre said be hailed the amend
ment as q practical refusal of further
grants during the present reign. With
future reigns he would not trouble himself.
Public opinion was making strides
towards the acceptance of the principle
that a sovereign, like any other head of a
family. ought TO provide for her children.
The conservatives who, in ana out of
season, had villihed Gladstone, were not
ready TO fall down and worship him be-

turned their way. They would worship
the devil himself under similar cir

would be beaten on the division, but he in

moral protest against the crowns claim.
