ENGLISH PREMIERs OBJECTIONS UPHELD
IN HOUSE OF LORDS.


London, Feb. 20-In the House of Lords dur
ing the discussion of the motion of the Earl of
Wemyss favoring an amended Militia Ballot act,
which was rejected by vote of CD to AZ, Lord
tansdowne Secretary of State for War, said he
thought 1t would be inexpedent to have recourse
to the Militia Ballot except in the case of a COM
plete failure of the voluntary system
The Duke of Devonshire, Lord President of the
Council, expressed similar opinions, adding that
the present emergency did not call for the re
cent hysterical appeals" of Lord Rosebery, nor
for a mobilization of the fleet
The Earl of Kimberley supported the conten-
ton of Lord Lansdowne.
Lord Rosebery, Lord Dunraven and Lord
Northbrook, with others, supported the proposal
of Lord Wemyss.
The Marquis of Salisbury opposed the motion.
He said there was not the slightest chance of
passing such bill without angry and acrimo-
NOUS debate and without public discussion of
those dangers to which Lord Rosebery thought
the country exposed. He asked if the House
thought that would be advantageous. He added:
Suppose the bill were to pass and the ballot
were to prove unsuccessful. 1t would give
abroad an impression of defencelessness, thus
adding to the many dangers enumerated by the
noble Lord Ghe Earl of Rosebery). If the ballot
were introduced ii would be impossible to stop
short of CONSUMPTION.

the volunteers. I rather suspect that it would
drive them to emigrate to transatlantic coun-
tries where their own language and rehglon
prevail and where there is no ballot of that sort
to brighten them. / prefer not to run the risk OF
awakening unaccustomed emotions at a time
when 1t is necessary that the nation should
work in harmony.
Perhaps the most exciting incident of the de-
bate was when Lord Wemyss, in a sweeping
gesture, brought his hand on the top of the hat
of the Prince Of Wales who sat just below

The regular opposition, headed by Mr.. Bond was

This defeat involves the resignation Of the
