CLOTURE RULE.
1t Was Applied in Com
mons Last Night.
The Fight Was an Agricul-
tural Land Rating Bill.
Policy of the Conservatives Very
Sharply Criticised.

LONDON, June 30.-The House OF Com
mons sat throughout the night debating
the agricultural land rating bill, intended
TO lessen the taxation on agricultural
land. The debate proceeded quietly un-
til I'm the morning. The government
kept its forces well in hand, ensuring a
majority of over 100.
After midnight the different clauses
were carried under the cloture rule. The
Liberal leader Sir " lillian Vernon Har-
court denounced the methods which the
Conservative leader, Mr.. Balfour, was
adopting in order to extricate the goven-
ment from the mess into which TX has
fallen through making too many election
promises and overweig hitting itself with
important bills which. like the educa-
tion bill recently shelved for repairs, 1t
has been unable TO pass In spite OF its
overwhelming majority, fact for which
the leadership of MIR. Balfour has been
greatly blamed.
Mr. Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of
the exchequer, angrily retorted that the
opposition was the most fsctious ever seen
and asserted that its tactics were rapidly
reducing parliamentary proceedings to
little more than a farce.
Mr.. James III. Dalziel, Liberal, accused
Lord Hugh Cecil, Conservative (hfth son
OF the Marquis OF Salisbury), OF deliberate
and organized interference with the de-
bate.
The speaker, the Right Hon. William
Court Gully, was appealed to, but he de-
clin2d TO interfere beyond exhorting the
mem bers TO be more orderly during de-
bate. A little later, MIR. Daiziel charac-
terized Sir Michael Hicks -Beach's speech
as being "impertinent," whereupon there
were cries of "wlthdraw."
The speaker suggested that Mr.. Dalziel
had not intended TO be offensive in his
remark, and, after some more skirmish-
ing, another clause OF the bill was
clotured.
This brought forth another storm of
derisive shouts from the opposition, and
DIR. {. X. ID. Tanner, Irish Nationalist,
was heard to shout "gag."
For this the doctor was warned from
the chair.
Mr.. Chamberlain, colonial secretary,
did not remain through the night, but
took his departure after the first division,
leaving Mr.. Balfour to conduct the
struggle on behalf OF the ministry, with
such help as he could get from Mr.. Chap
lin, president of the local government
board and other members of the govern
ment. Sir William Vernon Harcourt was
one of the last to leave the chamber
The bill was anally reported TO the
house at about O'Clock this morning.
The third reading was fixed for Wednes-
day.

In the cellular" kite OF Lawrence Hargrave. Of
New South Wales attempt has been made to
multiply the lifting effect obtained when the wind
strikes slightly inclined fat surface or acceptance
He arranges four such surfaces in two pairs. con-
the ends OF the planes forming each pair
with vertical surfaces so as to form sort OF box.
then places one box behind the other. and finally
constructs light frame to unite them.
Several notifications Of the Hargrave pattern
have been made by other men. One which was pro-
posed by S. A. Potter. and which has been recon-
mended by the United States Weather Bureau
differs from the original in several details. 1t Is
more simple and better for novices to begin WITH
The opening at the end Is diamond-shaped, and not
rectangular. Dimensions and proportions which
have given satisfaction In experiments with the
Potter kite may be briefly indicated: Height or da-
mond. 10 inches; width, about IS; length OF four
corner sticks. Az width OF each strip OF cloth. Is;
distance apart. B
In building one should take the upper and lower
sticks (which ought 10 be fve-eghths OF an inch
wide and one-quarter OF an inch thick, and make
them to keep them apart and using two wires TO
stay and hold them together. The struts are up
right sticks 10 inches long, and notched at the ends
so to receive the long sticks No glue or brads
needed. Friction will hold them in place. Each
vertical strut should be set about seven inches from
one Of the cloth strips. The wires should run
diagonally. like Y. from the upper TO the lower
