before midnight as $50 to 70 in favor of
the amendment, few faint cheers
were heard. The Earl of Crewe imme-
diatelv moved an adjournment and the
house rose.
An eager crowd was awaiting the re-
suit in the central hall, and when the
vote became known there was slight
attempt at RECOMMENDATION. Of
ficials however, speedily cleared the
hall and In II few minutes the lobbles
and precincts were empty
It is worthy of note that Lord st.
Aldwyne, who as Michael Hicks Beach
was one of the ablest chancellors of
the exchequer of the Conservative side,
has ostentatously absented himself
from all debates on Lord Lansdowne's S
resolution, and this morning he an
nounced his intention not to go to the
house for division. His abstention was
due to disapproval of Lord Lans-
downe's course, and, together with that
of other weighty Conservative peers
will have great effect in the country
especially to vote was the Earl OF
Wemyss and March, who is in his 92d
year.
When division was taken there vir-
tually was no excitement in the streets
although earlier I'm the night crowds
gathered near the house and attempted
a budget demonstration. A force
of police was in readiness, and as soon
as the crowd showed a tendency tc
become unmanageable they dispersed
the demonstrators, being assisted by a
Eloquent Speeches Made
The final debate was distinguished
by oratorical excellence, particularly
In the speeches of Lord Curzon Of Ked-
lesion, former viceroy of India, and
of the archbishop of York. The arch
bishops speech was his maiden effort
in the house of lords and its eloquent
periods added TO DR.. Lang's fine pres
ence and beautiful voice made a deep
impression.
The archbishop strongly opposed
Lord Lansdowne's resolution, declaring
that 1t would be unprecedented for the
lords to reject a financial bill passed
by the house of commons with such a
majority.
Lord Curzon was plainly suffering
from his recent indisposition and had
to ask the indulgence of the house.
but despite physical weakness which
several times in his ninety-minute
speech threatened to overcome him. he
spoke with his accustomed vigor and
art. He maintained the lords had an
absolute right TO REJECT tne nnanclal
bill and he agreed the country was on
the verge of a momentous struggle
which might lead to the reform of the
house of lords.
Earl Cawdor. former first lord OF the
admiralty. who wound up the debate
for the opposition, maintained that
there had been an attempt to evade
the lords ancient right to reject each
tax by placing all taxes in one bill.
1t was idle to pretend, he said. that
such a change of procedure in the
house Of commons should affect one iota
the responsibility and duty of the sec
ond chamber He quoted Premier As
quith as stating on assuming the pre-
miership that the function of the
house of lords was to check slOvenly
and precipltate legislation. This, Earl
Cawdor thought. fairly represented the
action that the lords proposed to take.
