THE VETO BILL.
LORD NEWTON'S AMENDMENT WITHDRAWN. DOOR CLOSED TO COMPROMISE. SPEECHES BY LOKDS MORLEY AND LANSDOWNE. 3j TckeraDh-I'resa Associatkm-Oou.vriehl London, July 11. Lord Newton's amendment to tho Veto Bill, exempting from the operation of tho Bill until after a general election any nicasuro further limiting the legislative powers of the House of Lords, has been withdrawn. It was coldly received by both parties. The door is now apparently finally closed to compromise. The Unionist peers prefer to test the Government's powers to force its scheme upon the Lords.
Tho report stage has been completed. The amendments of Lords Lansdowno and Cromer wcro retained. <Lord ilorley, Lord President of the Council, asserted that tho Lords had amended the measure so freely that they had made it just the Bill they liked. Lord Lansdowne said that if all tho amendments they had made wore inserted it was still a very dangerous measure. The third reading has been fixed for Thursday next, 20th inst. The House of Commons will consider the amendments on July 21, when it is expected that Mr. Asquith will intimate what he will do if the peers still resist.
