NEW BRITISH GOVERNMENT DEFEATED ~
DEFENDING THE LORDS.
Lord Rosebery's administr tration
when in Office only little more than
a week was defeated in the House Of
Commons by its own friends. Mr..
Labouchere, the well-known Radical
and editor of Truth, on the 18th
inst. put into effect his threat to
overthrow the Government because
Of the selection OF Lord Rosebery as
the successor Of Mr.. Gladstone. He
moved an amendment to the address
10 reply to the Queens speech, de-
clariDg that the House OF Lords
should be abolished. Much to the
surprise Of many of the Radicals the
Government, that opposed the
amendment. was defeated by a vote
of 147 to 1I5.
The division occurred earlier than
expected, when many members were
absent at dinner. The majority was
composed Of the 13 McCartbyites
aud Parnellites. the remainder being
Radicals. When the division paper
was handed to Labouchero a tremen-
dous cheer broke from the Radical
and Irish benches aud the members
standing below tho gangway. All
the Ministers looked duwncast. while
Balfour smiled ironically.
In moving the amendment Labou-
chere expressed the hope that Her
Majesty, with the advice Of her min
isters, would use her power to secure
the passage Of this much.needed re-.

creating 500 new Peers, who would
vote for the extinction OF the Peers.
