Home Politics.
(Per Press Association.) Lo±vi>o;v, March 31. The Houso of Commons sat till five in the morning discussing the estimates, the passage of which was obstructed. Mr Curzon, Uuder-secretary for Foreign Affairs, replying to his opponents, who twitted the Government with leaving the Armenians to their fate, said that the policy pursued for 50 years of preventing Russia overrunning any part of Turkey was entirely wrong. He was convinced that it would be preferrable that Russia should fulfil her destiny to having 25,000 people massacred every decade. Bishop Selwyn offered to assist the colonial members in the House of Com? mons to bring on a discussion over the change of control of Norfolk Island. The Church associates will petition the House of Commons to enquire into the question of the patronage exercised by the Premiers and the Bishops.
