REFORMING THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
London, March 20. The Earl of Rosebery, in advocating the proposal for the reform of the House of Lords, stated that he was of opinion that only royal peers were entitled to hereditary seats in that chamber. English, Scotch and Irish peers should collectively delegate a certain number of representative peers, and the principle of representation of minorities should be recognised. The Agents-General of the large colonies should sit if they desired, and Lords and Commons should sit together in case of dispute.
