After six days of debate notable
for the high standard of the oratory,
rs well as for the able and cenvinc-
ing arguments for and against the
budget, and placing in every possi-
ole light all the aspects of the great
consti ttutional questions involved,
The house of lords cleared for divis-
on at 1880 O'Clock last night. The
Gene was impressive, but in no sense
exciting, except that the house was
backed to its utmost capacity and a
sreat array of strange faces were
cen on the benches owing to the
presence of numbers of peers who
only appear In the house in most ex-
optional cases.
Few Cheers Heard.
None would have supposed that
he proceeding was destined not only
prove memorable in the annals OF
British history. but possibly also in
golve far-reachlng changes in tie
British constitution. There certain
ly was unusual animation in the
public galleries, which we're crowded
with members of the house of COM
mons. ambassadors and others. but
in the house itself complete calm
prevailed. There was none of that
,ense excitement or exuberant enthu-
siasm SO distinctive of similar oc-
aston In the lower house.
The vote was on Lord Lans-
lowne's amendment that the house
was not justified in giving its con-
cent to the bill until il had been sub
nitted to the judgment of the coun-
try. Nearly fifteen minutes were oc-
'upied in clearing the house, the tel
ers for the division being Earl Wal
