British Parliament.
A LONG SITTING. THE CHANNEL TUNNEL(By Telegraph-—-Press. Association.) LONDON, Yesterday. The House of Commons sat continuously for twenty-seven hours, due <o the Opposition resenting a breach of the arrangements for the business. Mr Balfour, towards the close, warmly protested against the Government’s reekkss breach of a parliamentary pledge. In "the House of Lords Earl Crewe announced that the Government was to the construction o£ the Channel Tunnel. Lord Landsdowne stated that he retained the opinion tlmt the tunnel would be a great convenience, but did not believe it to convince the nation that we should run no risk by the tunnel, and hence its construction would occasion a new source of anxiety in peace time, and a grave additional cause ef anxiety in war time. Major-General BadenPowell, repining to a correspondent, considers the tunnel- from a strategic point of view, is a mistake.
