HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. A number of questions relating to the Turkish deadlock were answered by Mr. Curzon. Ho said the Government could not give an undertaking that any action beyond diplomatic representations or negotiations would not be taken without Parliament being previously inform:A. It was not desirable in the public interest to make any announcement as to the course which might eventually be taken. The right hon. gentleman addc I that there was every reason to believe that Austria, Germany, and Italy were entirely in sympathy with the policy which was being followed by the three Powers directly concerned.-Sir Henry Fowler began a debate on the motion to go into Committee on the East India revenue accounts, his topic beino: the retention of Chitral. He combated the view that the occupation of the country would strengthen the defence of the North-West frontier of India, and argued that the trit -;s would only be kept in subjection by the cons'nnt maintenance of a large military force. Mr. Maclean moved an amendment viewing with apprehension the increased' taxation caused by the annexation or military occupation of large areas on the Indian frontier. Lord George Hamilton defiscd the Government's position. If we al ..ndon'd the country, he said, it would be again Riven up to. dynastic, murder and civil war. The amendment was rejected by a majority of 109.—Mr. Philip Stanhope next call I attention to the Indian import duties. Lord G. Hamilton promised to do everything he could to eliminate from the duties anything of a protective character, and the subject dropped. The Expiring Laws Continuance Bill and the Irish Land Purchase (Amendment) Bill having been read a third time, the House adjourned.  The strike of Dundee mill workers terminated on Monday and all mills and factories in the city are again running.
