London July 2l.-The debate on the Evicted
Tenants bill in the House OF Commons last mght
would have been closured but for the interveh-
tion ~ the Speaker who has rarely exercised this
prerogative. The fact was not generally known
at the time but the Speaker privately Informed
sir William Harcourt that he would not give his
assent to closure in view Of the important issues
raised bv the measure. which meritcd full and
free discussion. The leaders Of the Opposition
have assented 10 an early division and an under
standing has been arrived at whereby division
will be- taken on Monday. Upon entering the COM
mittee stage the bill will be fought line by line.
and this process will occupy at least month,
Notwithstanding the fact that Sir William llar-
court has allowed only a few days to carry the
measure through to it's final passage
All expectation that the programme Of the Gov
eminent will be carried into effect by the end OF
August has already vanished. When the tvcted
Tenants bill Is passed. the other measures men,
toned by the Chancellor OF the Exchequer in his
speech outlining the Governments programme
must either be thrown overheard or else. the
House must continue 10 sit Indefinitely. Several
Of the most prominent members Of the Ministry
are exceedingly angry over the prospect. and de-
clare that they Will sit until Christmas If neces-
sary to carry ont the Governments policy.

point over the Ev.ctcd Tenants bill 10y moving

able yet which are calculated 10 strengthen the

the reinstatement II an evictcl tenant only when

move II compensated for vacatng the premises.
The Parncics propose the appointment Of arbl-
traitors who shall bee empowered to rens;ate
evctel tenants under any circumstances. includ-
ing the compulsory removal Of sitting tenants.
