principally remarkable as showing
the likelihood of a number of peers,

to support Lord Lansdowne's rejec-

will abstain from voting. Lord Pent-
land, secretary for Scotland, warned
the peers that the house of commons
could not be expected to find a way
out of the difficulty created by the
rejection Of the budget. This state
ment created the greatest interest,
as it had been supposed that the gov
ernment might yield to tie lords in
the matter of adopting temporary
financial measures to meet the situa'
ton arising out of the budjet's re

also reminded the house that a long
constitutional struggle might handi-
cap the country in case OF wa, and
asked the lords to consider whether
the penalty would not be dispropor'

Earl Russell predicted that the
adoption OF the Lansiowne resolu-
ton would start a revolution that

Although the decree enioins the
company from voting its sharehold-
ings in subsidiary companies, or re-
ceiying dividends from them, there
is no reason why individual holders
among such shares would be divided
under the decree, should not elect
their own officers in the subsidiary
companies and receive their own div
