Undoubtedly our case wiz be appealed

ROSEBERYS SPEECH
AGAINST BUDGET.
Upper House WUned That
4ctiOR Imperils Its Erist-

IBy French cable to The tribune.

IBy French Gable 70 The Tribune.I
London, Nov. 24-After an interval Of
dulness the debate in the Lords was
raised to-day to a'high level II was not
Lord Salisbury's speech which changed
the atmosphere. for that was controver-
sial and aggressive without being per-
suasive or statesmanlike. nor was il the
Archbishop Of Canterbury's cautious and
timorous contribution 10 the debate, for
he virtually announced that politics had
become too hot for the prelates, and that
they were forced 10 run TO cover. The
oratory came with Lord Rosebery. whose
melOdious voice delighted the peeresses
and rang through the gilded chamber in
condemnation Of "A budget which was
poisoning the sources of national SUI
and spreading over the nation like a
miasma or fog
Lord Rosebery had burned his bridges
behind him. and created a profound i'm
preston. especially as he had recently
been with the King at BalmoraI. Wind
sor and Sandringham, Yet he warned the
Lords in solemn tones that they were
risking the existence Of an unreformed
house when they were challenging Rsdi-
Calism to the supreme test Of an appeal
TO the country
Lord Miner. without having Lord
Rosebery's oratorical gifts. also made
a strong speech against the budget
reinforcing Lord Revelstoke's powerful
argument as a practical financier.
II is now generally conceded that the
Kings efforts TO bring about a compro-
mise between the houses have failed. and
that the ministers will not attempt 10
save any portion Of the budget by an
agreement with the Lords, but will drop
all new taxes absolutely and not try %
enforce the collection Of the tea duty
the income tax or other imposts. They
will hold the Lords responsible for the
confusion and chaos caused in the Treas
ury and justify their conduct by the
necessity Of standing by the principle
that the Commons alone have the right
TO regulate the supply and order Of taxa
ton
If the Lords we're allowed 10 cut out
the land and licensing sections they
would establish a precedent for making
over as well as holding up the budget
Z The ministers have hardened their hearts
( and have decided that there shall be nC
negotiations, no proposals for an indem-
nifty bill for taxes Overpaid and no com
promise OF the principle Of exclusive
power over the national purse by the
representative house.

London. Nov. 24.-Lord ROsebery. the
former Liberal Prime Minister. raised
the historic struggle between the Lords
and the House OF Commons 10 a new
plane to-day by one Of the finest
speeches he has ever delivered. in which
he warned the Lords Of the grave risks
they were running if they adopted Lord
Lansdowne's resolution TO reject the
budget.
II possible. still greater interest was
shown in to-days debate. There was
not sufficient room TO seat all the peers
attending. while the public galleries
were crowded To their utmost capacity.
The Duchess Of Connaught headed "A
long list OF the foremost peeresses
many Of whom were compelled 10 stand
throughout the session.
Lord Salisbury resumed the debate
with a speech supporting Lord Lans-
downe's resolution. after the Archbishop
Of Canterbury had said that the bishops
would stand aside from the discussion.
as the occasion was one OF strict party
character.
ROSEBERY'S ABLE ADDRESS.
Lord Rosebery followed in a long
speech. giving the Lords plain warn
ing Of the danger Of the path they were
treading. He said:
Il am quite dissociated from any
party. and speak from my sense of the
awful gravity OF the situation This is
the greatest political moment in the
ufetinla Of any man born since 1872"
letter Of the law the House of Lords
was competent 10 reject finance bills, but
since 1S32. up 10 which time the Lords
had practicaI control Of the House Of
commons. il was not possible that the
Commons should send UP a budget which
tn House OF Lords should go TO the
length OF rejecting. He considered that
The only possible circumstance justify
ing the Lords in exercising such a
dormant power would be the direct au-
thoritv and condonation Of the nation
Itself. such a circumstance might arise
if a budget were presented which low
