Londcn, July 6.-The House of Com
mons met at 1890 O'Clock to-day and pass
ed through its third reading a bill
devoting money to the maintaining of the
various public services until the next par
lament meets.
T. r. V. Knox, anti-Parnellite member
tor Cavan, vehemently protested against
the action of the House OF Lords yester-
day in refusing to go into committee on
the Irish municipal franchise bill after
having passed the measure through its
second reading.
A J. Balfour interrupted Mr.. Knox
with a remark that this was not the oc-
casion for discussing the House of
Lords.
Mr.. Knox endeavored to continue his
TRADE, and the speaker was compelled
repeatedly to call the House to order.
Mr.. Knox finally subsidized after denounc-
ing the bigotry and treacnery of the gov
eminent
G. B. Clark and Mr.. Labouchere pro-
tested agaist the insane competition of
Great Britain with other powers in build
ing warships and maintaining a costly
army.
The House of Lords met at noon to-day
Lord Salisbury said this was the last time
the House would meet before the dissolu-
eADAA VI the picStAl pdIndiItLl lOok pldtt
and he wished to reply to the recent
speech of Lord Rosebery, in which he had
attacked the legislative preponderance of
the House OF Lords. Lord Salisbury pro-
ceeded to say that the upper House took
no part whatever in the votes through
which the governments were displaced or
inaugurated, neither did they have any
part in the provision of funds for the pub
lie service. AS regards other matters,
however, the House of Lords possessed
precisely the same powers as the House
Of Commons, but he assured Lord Rose
berry that if the future career of the com
mons should be marked by such bills as
were introduced in the parliament just
nearing its end, they might depend upon
receiving strong opposition from the House
of Lords.
Lord Salisbury, continuing, said the
House of Lords had been working to resist
the inauguration of changes which were
not supported by a majority of the nation
AS regards home rule for ireland, Eng
land, he said. was certainly hostile to it.
He also believed that a majority of the
nation would fail TO support an attack on
the established church and that as far as
home rule for Scotland and Wales are con-
cerned, neither could be carried without
exciting the most passionate resistance of
the people of England. The policy of the
unionists. his loTdship declared. was a
q
tended to legislate with view to decreas-
ing the suffering of the poorer classes
They would try to revive the agriculture
of the country, and would also give their
attention to the matter of the carriage
of produce to the markets by railway. the
creation of small holdings for tenants
the revision of the poor laws, and would
consider measures for the amelioration
of the social condition of the people and
do all in their power to mitigate the mis-
cry which attended the viscissitudes o.
these changeful times and lessen the sor-
rows that attended the lot of so many
millions of their follow creatures.
Lord Salisbury's remarks were greeted
with cheers.
Lord Rosebery, in reply to the new prime
minister, justified his previous statement.
He said that while one side of the House
of Lords was so Overwhelmingly strong,
1t was impossible for a liberal government
TO carry any measures introduced, how
ever beneficent.
The House of Lords and House of Com
mons reassembled at o'clock this after
noon. Parliament was then formally pro-
rogued until July "a. The decree of dis
solution will be made Monday, July s,
Immediately after which writs for a new
election will be issued.
