was one urging the extension of the

be proportioned as nearly as possible
to the different states so that all
would have representation abroad.
In refusing to indorse either New

Commercial congress was organized
for the good of all sections and that

lords last night without a division,
adopted the resolutions offered by
Lord Landsowne, the opposition
leader, and decided to send them,
together with Lord Rosebery' s
plans for the reformation of the
membership of the lords, to the
house of commons. The upper cham
Der then adjourned until Monday,
when dissolution of parliament will
take place. Thus the government S
veto bill has been ignored by the
house of lords.
A noticeable feature of the debate
has been the number of liberal
peers who supported Lord Lans-

1t is planned to have the Indian ap-

following the opening of the session,
and while the house is working upon
that the finishing touches will be given
the legislative, executive and judicial
and District of Columbia appropriation
bills. In this way it is intended to
keep the house at work, without vast

Progress Is Unusual.
Ordinarily not much progress is
made in getting appropriation bills out
of the way until after the first of the

by keeping a majority present, to pass
several appropriation bills through the
house before the holiday recess.
