was loudly cheered when he appeared
in the House of Commons yesterday to
make what some of the members be-

He bitterly attacked the peers for their
attitude toward the pending bills, and
then asked the House TO accept the
amendments made by the House of
Lords, which was done by a vote OF
273 to 81. The Right Hon. A. ]. Bal
four, leader of the conservatives in the
House of Commons, replied to Mr..
Gladstone, and said, among other
things, that the Premier's speech was a
declaration of war against the ancient
constitution of the realm. Continuing,
Mr.. Balfour asked why the government
did not start the agitation against the
House of Lords when the latter reject
ed the home rule bill. That bill, &C
cording to Mr.. Baltour, convinced the
country that legislation must be con-
trolled by a chamber which would not
