Home Politics.
(Per Press Association). London, August 18. A motion proposed by Mr Dillon that an autumn session be held to settle the Irish land question was rejected by a majority of 134. Mr Price moved that it is expedient to pass during the present session measures tending to remedy the depression in the agricultural industry. Mr W. H. Long, President of the Board of Agriculture, replied that measures in the direction suggested would be intro. duced at a later period. Lord Salisbury said he accepted the continuation of Lord Rosebery's policy upon the Armenian question. He had eudeavoured, but had failed, to obtain the Sultan's guarantee to execute reforms- It was impossible that the Sultan could be blind to the danger of wearying Europa by refusing its demands. ' Lord Rosebery urged that it was likely that Russia would- consider the retention of Chitral as a menace. He did not regard the elections as settling the fate of Home Rule, which would rest to a larcrp pxtent in the hands of the Irish people themselves. It would be impassible io rest upon the negative polio y of merely maintaining the Union. Lord Salisbury said to abandon Chitral would be a mistake, and have an injurious effect on the frontier tribes, which would be feU in the future.
